Susan E. Lehr

Expert Guidance Through a Complex Commercial Lease

As a small business owner, navigating the intricacies of a commercial lease renewal for our Seattle retail space was daunting. We needed an attorney who understood both the letter of the law and the practical realities of Washington real estate. Susan Lehr at Williams Kastner was exactly that. While her profile notes her recognition in real estate law, her counsel went beyond mere technical knowledge. She meticulously reviewed every clause, explaining the long-term implications of terms like CAM charges and renewal options in clear, business-focused language. Her sharp eye caught several potentially costly provisions the landlord had inserted. Drawing on her deep understanding of local market practices, she negotiated terms that secured our location and protected our financial interests for the next decade. The entire process was handled with remarkable professionalism and responsiveness. For anyone facing a significant real estate transaction in Washington, I cannot recommend Susan Lehr highly enough. She is a true asset to her firm and a tremendous advocate for her clients.
