This type of relationship brings a lot of value to our company. We know that we can reach out to Scott and his team at any time and get top notch legal advice.

I have worked with Nicole DiMaria for years. She is a brilliant, efficient lawyer who gets to the heart of a matter and address issues with surgical precision. Although we have always been on the opposite side of transactions, I have found her to be collaborative when appropriate and tough when necessary but unfailingly civil and professional. She is able to be adversarial without being nasty, balancing zealous advocacy for her clients with a professional and collegial demeanor with attorneys. I have and will continue to refer others to her for advice and representation.

My Experience is mainly with Michelle Bergeron Spell. She is terrific: 1. Knows her areas of expertise extremely well i.e. brings in both the income tax as well as the estate tax aspects of a client's situation. 2. Is always pleasant to deal with making clients feel very much at home. 3. Goes out of her way to be extra helpful whenever possible. 4. Demonstrates a great deal of care and concern when sensitive matters arise. 5. Makes me feel confident that clients are receiving the very best balanced advise. 6. She is definitely one of the best estate planning attorneys I have dealt with over many decades and having been fortunate to deal with numerous excellent attorneys. The best!

CSG provided exceptional guidance and expertise regarding best-case and worst-case scenarios during a contentious situation with an uncooperative borrower. The litigation attorney and the corporate finance attorney with whom I worked provided exceptional feedback on numerous legal strategies that helped to drive the bank's exit strategy. Overall, my experience with CSG was very positive and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

I worked on the opposite side of negotiation with Margaret Wood. She is a smart and zealous advocate who can disagree without being disagreeable. She did not waste time on nonsense and was collegial while never failing to represent and fight for what was best for her client. As a professional I found her demeanor and civility exceptional. Her knowledge and professionalism is without peer but consistent with the attorneys with whom I have dealt from her firm. I would not hesitate to refer a friend or colleague to her.
