Carol Bailey
Bob Fikso provided excellent counsel during our recent acquisition of a mixed-use property in Seattle. His deep knowledge of real estate finance and the intricacies of purchase agreements was immediately apparent. He expertly navigated the due diligence process, identifying several potential title issues we had missed. What truly set him apart was his experience with joint ventures and LLC structuring; he helped us establish the optimal ownership entity that provided both liability protection and tax efficiency for our investor group. His background in master-planned communities gave him a unique perspective on zoning and long-term development potential that was invaluable. While his billing was transparent and fair for the complex work, there were a couple of instances where email responses took a bit longer than expected during the initial negotiation phase. Overall, Bob is a seasoned, pragmatic attorney who clearly knows the Washington real estate landscape inside and out. I would confidently engage his firm again for future transactions.
