Advice In Action
In their own words, some of Lisa’s clients explain how their businesses benefited from her advice and assistance.
Lisa Pomerantz has been instrumental in the launching of my new business
venture as an author and independent publisher. Her professional expertise
is solid. She's extremely diligent and takes care of your requests in a
timely manner. But what makes Lisa especially unique is her gift of
teaching and helping you make other resourceful contacts to make your
company FLY!!

When our company was involved in a trademark dispute we had no idea how to handle the situation. We had met Lisa at a networking event and her skill set seemed exactly what we needed. She analyzed our situation, explained it to us in language we could understand, and provided us with multiple options on how to proceed. Through Lisa’s knowledge, persistence, polite persuasion, and tenacious follow-through a favorable resolution was reached with the other party recalling their dispute and all claims to the trademark.
While the experience was stressful, Lisa lead us through it strategically and succeeded beyond our expectations.
Since then, Lisa has become an invaluable part of our network of professionals that we rely upon to run our business smoothly. Lisa regularly helps us structure agreements with our customers and vendors to anticipate their concerns, protect the company, and help implement an effective project management structure. When client relations issues have arisen (large or small), our contract has provided a path for their resolution, and Lisa has coached us on how to resolve issues in an effective and diplomatic manner.

and total customer satisfaction, it is extremely important for my Services
Agreements to be clear, comprehensive and concise. Engaging Lisa Renee
Pomerantz, Attorney at Law was among my wisest business decisions. I feel
confident that my business agreements fully reflect responsible, ethical and
legal practices and are in the mutual best interests of my clients and my

"In early 2006, my business partner and I were very excited when we took the leap and started TaraWare LLC, a web application development company. One of our first opportunities was to partner with a prominent client on a very large project, where we would contribute the technology expertise and he would do the marketing."
"Excitement turned to anxiety when we received a 20-page LLC agreement from the client's high-powered attorney. We read through it and saw some things that concerned us and many things that we didn't understand. We sent the agreement to a lawyer to look over but we were dissatisfied with his unclear response and failure to address all of our questions."
"After our unsatisfactory response from the first attorney, I decided to take the LLC agreement to Lisa to look over. I had met her previously at a speaking engagement and was impressed with her great personality and her ability to translate complex legal concepts into layman's terms."
"After looking over the agreement and explaining it to us, the first thing Lisa told us was that we should not form a company with this client; we should instead change the project into a work-for-hire. We were very reluctant to do that and hired Lisa to edit the LLC operating agreement to take our concerns into consideration. Our mistake became evident when the client's lawyer returned a further edited agreement giving his client final say on all matters relating to the business. This time we took Lisa's advice and hired her to draw up a work-for-hire contract."
"2006 was a very hard first year for TaraWare LLC. We spent most of the year trying to finalize an agreement with this client and in the end it fell through. But Lisa helped us to avert an even graver future by wisely advising us not to form a company with this client."
"In the process, we gained a distinct appreciation of the role a great lawyer like Lisa plays in every aspect of our business and we now understand the importance of consulting with an attorney at the beginning of a venture. Lastly, we have become much more savvy at judging potential collaborators and projects. "
"2007 is turning out to be quite an excellent year for TaraWare LLC!"
