Clients and Case Studies
Lenore Horton ( Horton Legal Strategies has been Lyteworx Legal Counsel on and off for several years. She has been an invaluable resource and I trust her completely.
It was such a pleasure working with Lenore and her team at Horton Legal Strategies. Lenore and her staff are highly intelligent and professional. While they handled some business attorney work for my company, I also learned that their firm specializes in helping business owners find buyers. I connected them with a friend who was looking to sell his company, and he was equally impressed with how smoothly everything was handled. Highly recommended!!!
You were the only firm who would have gotten paid even if the deal died, but you ended up being the firm most motivated to get it done. Without Horton Legal Strategies, we wouldn't have closed. That's integrity.
Horton Legal is highly recommended. It is the most ethical services around. They are truly interested in what’s best for you and whatever business you are conducting. “Being ethical means acting in accordance with accepted principles of right and wrong conduct, demonstrating moral virtues like honesty, fairness and compassion, and taking into consideration the well-being of others and society as a whole”. Well done Horton Legal Strategies!
Lenore has assisted me with several matters in my business for many years. She is knowledgeable, communicative and very approachable. Her ability to explain and guide me through changing legalities of my industry puts me at ease in stressful times. I feel incredibly empowered by her and know that, with Lenore and the Horton Legal Strategies team, I have a group of champions in my corner.
Highly recommend Lenore at Horton Legal Strategies! I had a 30-minute consultation with Lenore that was incredibly valuable for my legal business planning. She helped me gain clarity on where to focus my energy for the upcoming year and identified which legal strategies would best support my current business season. What I appreciated most was her ability to pinpoint quick wins I could implement right away while also mapping out longer-term options. If you're looking for strategic legal guidance that's both practical and actionable, she's your person!
