Ameek Ashok Ponda

In my 25 years in the tax area, I have had the pleasure of working with some of the best tax professionals in the business. I have worked with Ameek Ponda for almost 10 years. In my opinion, Ameek Ponda is heads above any other tax expert that I have worked with. Without elaborating, if I need to have the correct answer on a technical issue, I go to Ameek. He has never steered me wrong. He also is very creative and is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Douglas S. Stransky

Doug has exceptional technical skills, and that combined with his understanding of transactions and how they work, just make my job that much easier. Of all the professionals I have dealt with in my career, Doug is the most responsive I have ever seen. He is excellent in working with others, and he communicates effectively. A lot of my friends and colleagues at other companies use Doug's services for the same reasons I do. They are superb.

Paul Kohout
Lionbridge Technologies, Inc.

Attorney Douglas Stransky helped my firm solve a complex International Tax Law issue with a simple and elegant solution. I found Doug to be an excellent communicator, responding to my calls and e-mails in a very timely fashion. The results were quite cost effective. His expertise in the field of International Tax Law is first rate. I would recommend Attorney Douglas Stransky (and have) without hesitation.

Edwin L. Miller, Jr.

Edwin Miller is a great lawyer. He is very experienced, responsive, and effective in working with others, and very clear when communicating with clients. Ed is a "common sense" lawyer that gets the point really quickly without wasting valuable time and money.

Anthony Loumidis
American DG Energy Inc.

Ed Miller is the most efficient and prompt attorney that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His knowledge in nearly all areas of business is remarkable and when he doesn't immediately know the answer, he immediately refers me to someone who does. There is absolutely no delay in response, in completing a task, or in conferencing with other attorneys when necessary. He is straight forward, honest, ethical, and fair in all areas. I recommend him whenever given the opportunity and will always use his services when necessary.

Cathy Kalenian
X Cafe LLC

This is my second start-up and Ed Miller has helped both times in an impeccable fashion. He understands very well all the needs of start-ups, and he helps put together the right documentation for incorporation. He also explains all major issues in a no-nonsense way, and focuses on the right elements. In the first company, Ed helped with three rounds of financing, all contracts, and legal issues, along with a successful exit (M&A). All relationships and issues with the board, with the investors, and even with employees, were dealt with professionally and thoroughly. I strongly recommend Ed; he is very knowledgeable, bright, and quick.

Maurizio Arienzo
NovaWare Inc.

Ed Miller has been outside corporate counsel of Konarka since founding, as well as counsel to several other start-ups that I have founded/co-founded previously over the years. He is extremely competent, pragmatic, time responsive, as well as time and cost efficient when working with start-ups from incorporation, funding, growth, and maturity through IPO/M&A liquidity. I highly recommend Ed to any of my fellow serial entrepreneurs who might be seeking a counsel and counselor with a wealth of experience and real-world legal assistance.

Howard Berke
Konarka Technologies, Inc.

Ed Miller is one of the best corporate lawyers I've had the pleasure of working with. He is an expert in securities law. He solves our legal issues fast and with great efficiency. Most importantly, he is completely straight with us and strives to always do the best for his client.

Raul Brauner
Bio-Tree Systems Inc.

I have known Ed for more than 10 years in the context of a number of high-tech startups out of MIT and other businesses. It's rare, even in Boston, to find counsel with Ed's depth and breadth of knowledge, experience, and expertise with entrepreneurs and high-tech startups, as well as corporate America's technology and business leaders. What is most impressive about Ed is his engaging style, clarity, and practical approach to resolving issues and finding solutions. In a complex technology and global business environment, Ed provides welcome guidance, insight, unexpected opportunities, and, when needed, patience. He has both the professional wisdom and personal interest that every young entrepreneur needs on his or her team. My experience with Ed has been uniformly positive, consistently professional, and always a pleasure. It is my pleasure to offer this appraisal and recommendation on his behalf.

George Kenney
Massachusetts Insititute of Technology

I have worked with Ed for many years. He is very good at not losing the forest for the trees, and at getting things done.

Theo Melas-Kyriazi

Ed Miller is that very rare breed of lawyer who is a deal maker instead of a deal breaker. Ed's expertise in his areas of specialization is unsurpassed. He is an authority on technology companies and M&A; he not only teaches courses on those subjects at BU School of Law, but he has written books on the topics as well. He analytically looks at every project from all possible angles and thoroughly educates the client. When we need his services he gets back promptly and is always in communication with us, often after hours, and is always enjoyable to work with. I could not recommend any lawyer more highly.

Franklin B. Velie

Mr. Velie has an excellent knowledge of handling litigation, and he provides me - as a foreigner - with a feeling of perfect representation in the U.S. He is able to "translate" specific U.S. features to a foreigner, and makes useful and realistic statements without exaggerating issues (like many other lawyers do to pretend more value of their work). I am also quite surprised about the quick response time.

Harvey E. Bines

Harvey Bines is a brilliant, outstanding lawyer. He is very creative. He works extremely hard to serve client interests.

Lionel L. Fray
AOA Geophysics, Inc.

Mr. Bines is the smartest lawyer I have ever known. He is also among the very smartest, savviest people I have known. He has been my attorney for years and has never let me down. I trust him explicitly to optimize outcomes for my company and me.

Jack Maguire
Maguire Associates, Inc.

I have had the pleasure of working with Harvey in my capacity of being CFO of the Albert Schweitzer Fellowship (a national/international not-for-profit 501(c) (3) entity based here in Boston) since Nov 10 2003, so we are now in our fifth year working together. His knowledge on a wide range of not-for-profit issues, investment issues, tax and liability issues, financial processes, audit considerations, and strategic considerations (as we have expanded) has been priceless to us. It is no coincidence that over the past five years our net assets have more than doubled; our sites existing (or in the process of set up) around the U.S. have increased by 50 percent, and we still have no debt whatsoever and no law suits or difficulties pending anywhere here or around the nation. His ready availability to help on questions large and small is a huge asset for us. Finally, his help in stewarding our financial situation as we grow has recently led, I have no doubt, to the Albert Schweitzer Fellowship receiving the highest grade - four stars - from Navigator in its evaluation of not-for-profits in the U.S. " for sound fiscal management." We have already received two charitable gifts from individuals who read about the award and wrote us a check. Harvey is someone for whom I have the utmost respect, and that is a real credit to Sullivan & Worcester LLP.

Mr. Bines is my company's corporate counsel and he is, without question, the best business-minded attorney I have ever worked with. Mr. Bines combines a superb legal acumen with a practical, results-driven approach and he is unparalleled at negotiation, formulating legal strategy, thinking through issues and potential pit-falls, and structuring innovative transactions. If you need a smart, tough, practical lawyer who protects your company's interests, this is your man
