Brent professionally and expertly handles all the details of complicated real estate transactions with a special focus upon the matters most important to his client. He is able to easily and efficiently sort through the issues and determine which ones have the biggest impact upon his client's business success. Those are the issues that Brent gives special effort to address for his client's benefit. As an added bonus, opposing attorneys and their clients who are my customers and business associates always enjoy their experiences of working with Brent.

Garland S. Cassada

Garland Cassada, Robinson Bradshaw & Hinson Garland represented us in our defense against a group of some of the leading and best-financed plaintiff's attorneys in the country. He has the intellectual capacity you would expect from a top flight attorney, but what clearly sets Garland apart is his ability to develop an appropriate strategy, help clients understand the merits of his position, and then not stray from that course despite withering pressure from the other side. Garland's command of the law and our facts, as well as his oral and written communication skills with the various courts where we appeared, were essential to obtaining a very successful outcome for our company.

Garland Cassada is a clear, logical thinker, who has an excellent eye and a memory for detail. He is very cordial. He is the consummate businessman's lawyer.

Herman Spence III

Herman Spence III is a professional and extremely bright tax attorney. He is knowledgeable, creative, and thorough. He understands our business and responds to our needs in a manner which I think is superior to timely. I sometimes feel like he is in the office next door. He works well with everyone in my office. He is able to communicate and explain even the most complex of tax matters in a manner so that they are understood. He has a dry wit and a quick smile. He is brilliant but is able to relate to everyone. Herman has helped this firm with mergers and acquisitions, general corporate matters, a tax audit, and real estate tax matters. He is held in the highest regard by everyone here and is reported in local magazines as being among the best attorneys in the state in his field. I believe that his expertise is such that he would rank among the best in the country.

I have worked with Herman Spence since 1992 on a wide array of real estate, corporate, partnership, and other tax issues. I have appreciated his technical and practical advice on legal issues and value the business relationship with RBH. I have and will continue to recommend his tax services to my friends and business associates.

He is civil at all times with the other attorneys, but firm on matters when needed. I can recommend him without reservation.

Julian was outstanding. His knowledge and recommendations for employment/severance contracts were more than I ever expected. He was extremely patient and took the time to clearly explain all the legal terminology in the contract. He went above and beyond to make sure I clearly understood the implications of the contract I was signing.

Kent J. McCready

In the past, I have developed and sold a large medical practice, a managed care company, and worked for a national insurance firm as their medical director. In these endeavors I have worked with many attorneys. Without question, Kent McCready is the best on every level. Currently, I am the majority owner of a medical credit card company that helps hospitals deal with underinsured and uninsured patients and the massive self-pay problem they represent for our nation's hospitals. We deal with complex social, ethical, and financial regulatory issues. Kent McCready has tackled them all with the highest degree of professionalism and caring. At AccessOne MedCard, our entire senior management team views Kent as a partner rather than hired legal advice!

Mr. Robinson, partner, serves as my primary contact for the law firm. His education, experience, and communication skills have proved invaluable on the bank's larger financings and syndications. Communication skills, both with Wells Fargo and opposing counsel, are outstanding. He is the "best in class." It is a pleasure to work with Mr. Robinson and his team, and the firm has contributed to my personal success within the highly competitive commercial banking segment in Charlotte, NC.

What makes Graham and his colleagues at RBH such good partners is their responsiveness and ability to translate legal issues into business considerations. He is able to cut through a set of facts and quickly prioritize what's important from a legal and business perspective. Graham tends to be "hands on", providing direct and personal attention on transactions he works on.

Stokely G. Caldwell, Jr.

I have worked in sports marketing for 15 years and can honestly say that Stoke Caldwell is the hardest working, most efficient and effective attorney I have ever worked with. While protecting us as a client, he is also mindful of the need to negotiate issues in a win-win manner that helps both sides. Stoke is a powerful tool in helping us to initiate our client relationships in a manner that is conducive to a long-term partnership.

David Jessey
Evernham Motorsports

Our organization has used the legal services of Stoke Caldwell for over 15 years in various areas including contracts, real estate, IP, employment law, and aviation law. We find Stoke to be extremely timely in his responses and always conscious of our specialized needs. In the fast-paced world of auto racing, Mr. Caldwell is best in class. We would not trust of our legal or business transactions with any other attorney.

Michael Holland

Stoke offers JR Motorsports sound legal advice in our ever-growing business. He has the ability to guide and question our business in a way that helps us become stronger. All that, plus he is a fantastic person to work with!

I have worked with Stoke since 1991 in many areas, including business and personal issues. Stoke is a person that you can rely on and depend on no matter the size of the issue at hand. Stoke Caldwell is a people's person - he communicates to his clients at a level that everyone can understand and follows through on all matters and all issues. Not only is Stoke a great Lawyer to have on your side, but he is also a great friend to just help with advice on matters.

Randy Duncan

He is a very sharp and insightful legal mind with a wonderful client-friendly manner. He is more than just a lawyer - he is a very sound businessman with excellent judgment on evaluating risk. He handles negotiations with a folksy style, but gets what he wants, too.

Paul Barnett
Ulysses Management, LLC

I have had the pleasure of both hiring Stoke to help with the bank's legal matters, and working across the table from him on numerous occasions. In my 10 years of practice, I have negotiated tens of thousands of transactions with lawyers from corporations and firms of all sizes. Stoke is a standout among his peers. He is very talented at balancing risk and reward; he can be firm when he needs to be. Most importantly, he is a great relationship builder and he never takes an unreasonable position. I have never had an unpleasant negotiating experience when Stoke has been involved. That is extremely rare in the sports business, where 90 percent of the attorneys have unbearable egos and diluted views of reality.

Christopher Traeger
Bank of America

Stoke is a pleasure to work with and is very in tune with the needs of his clients. His industry knowledge and experience are tremendous assets.

Stoke is awesome to deal with. He understands my business and the seriousness of being a racecar driver. He makes the agreements easy to understand and makes sure I understand what I am signing. I have never felt good about signing any agreements until I met Stoke - now I know what I am getting myself into at all times.

Stoke represents our firm in all of our Motorsports interests. Nothing happens on our team, or in our office, without going through him. He is diligent. He delivers great service, and he delivers nothing but a high-quality product. From an acquisition of a NASCAR team, to managing driver contracts and personnel termination, Stoke manages it all. There is no question without him, we wouldn't have the same confidence that we have in this business. Working with Stoke provides a great level of comfort for our organization. No one can represent us as well as Stoke.

I have utilized Stoke's services for approximately 14 years, both in my current capacity and in previous positions. He has assisted in a variety of business-related situations and transactions, ranging from licensing agreements, Driver agreements, sponsorship agreements, business formation, acquisitions of businesses, sales of businesses, intellectual property issues, and a variety of other business documents and negotiations. Stoke is relentless in his work ethic and availability to his clients, and he is the most responsive and thorough attorney I have ever worked with. In our business, we deal with a number of Fortune 500 companies' legal departments, and they have on numerous occasions taken the time to compliment Stoke on his fairness, technical skills, and overall ability to get transactions closed. In our business, we deal with Sponsors, Drivers, Licensee's, marketing partners, as well as our team, and Stoke has clients in each of these fields. His knowledge of all sides of these matters allows him to create fair documents, which protect us, but allow everyone involved to feel good about their position. I am a little biased, based on my friendship, respect ,and admiration of Stoke, but, in my opinion ,any party that chooses to utilize his skills will quickly be pleased with their decision.
