"Herrick is a consummate professional with the client's best interest at heart at all times. I highly recommend him."
"Herrick Lidstone is one of the two best attorneys I have worked with during my 40 year professional career. He is definitely a businessman's attorney who is a "deal maker," not a "deal breaker." He insures the company is protected legally in its dealings. His SEC experience is beyond reproach. He takes a real hands-on approach to serving clients."
