I have worked with the principals of Starfield & Smith for over 10 years. During this time, they have closed over $200 Million in government guaranteed (US Small Business Administration and USDA) and conventional loans to small businesses in a variety of industries. I consider them an authority on SBA lending and rely heavily on their expertise in the government guaranteed lending arena. Preserving the guaranty on an SBA or USDA loan is paramount to an institution participating in these programs. Using the law firm of Starfield & Smith ensures that your guaranty has the maximum potential of being preserved because they document and close the deal correctly!
In all my experiences with Starfield & Smith, they exhibit the integrity, professionalism, sense of urgency and willingness to go "above and beyond" to get the deal done. On the rare occurrence when they don't know the answer, they have the resources and contacts to find it! We've thrown some complex deals their way including a short line railroad, a sand quarry, deals involving multiple lenders, deals with DEP/EPA issues, etc. They have always risen to the challenge but remain adept at balancing my client's expectations and needs with protecting the lender's interest.
I would recommend Starfield & Smith to any institution seeking counsel to expedite the closing of government guaranteed and conventional lending transactions.
