"I feel that Pagel Davis & Hill [was the first law firm we have ever hired] to really listen to what we had to say. They told us what they really thought, not what we wanted to hear. We could have diminished the overall costs of our case substantially had we started with these guys from the get go, and I have recommended them to several friends since our case settled."

"[Kent Pagel] has been a contributing legal columnist for Woodwords and SBC magazine on Risk Management, Mold, and Insurance since 1984. [Kent] has presented countless Risk Management seminars … which allow each of us to save expense and reduce risk for our companies. He is the author of a new SBCA on-line education program called O-Risk…In my attending Board Meetings from 1996 through 2004 and Executive Committee meetings from 2001 through 2004, I have always been impressed with his each and every contribution to the many issues that our industry has faced and will face in the future. Clearly, he understands our business, a trait that few attorneys or other professionals, possess. Anyone who has witnessed and heard his comments and suggestions in the midst of controversy can testify to his skills. He has an innate ability to cut to the chase and get to the bottom line on every issue."

"As President of a $150 mm industrial services business serving the Petro-Chemical Industry, I understand the value of strategic, integrated legal advice and services. Carey Davis and Pagel, Davis and Hill, has always serviced our company as if he [or they] were our own General Counsel. Carey has always been a trusted advisor during critical crossroads in our business. He has taken the time and made the effort to understand our business and its unique legal needs. Because of his in-depth understanding of our Company “culture” and our industry, we have never considered hiring in-house counsel. He has represented us in a variety of corporate, transactional and litigation matters and provides valuable guidance on business and strategic issues. We firmly believe that Pagel, Davis and Hill’s outside general counsel services have contributed to the success of our business. Not only were these services provided in a cost effective, timely and ethical manner but were done in the context of best serving our business. I value my working relationship with Mr. Carey Davis and highly recommend Pagel, Davis and Hill to all small to medium-sized business’s that require sound legal and business expertise tailored to specific business needs."

“[We] are a 51 year old family company that has experienced the roller-coaster of the oil industry, and the difficulties involved in breaking into a new business, ambulance module manufacturing. Our involvement with Carey Davis and the Pagel, Davis & Hill team started only 10 years ago, but the wise counsel the team has provided our business has been invaluable.

We are a small company, 105 employees, but our problems often seem monumental. Carey's advice has frequently cleared the path to a reasonable, informed decision on matters that had us blocked, afraid, nervous, or unsure. The team, including Carey and Bartt Thompson, seem always to be there to help no matter what crisis erupts. It is their commitment to service, at a reasonable price, with a strong command of business law that keeps us in the relationship.”

From advice on the acquisition and sale of many of my businesses--to assistance on employee matters, customs and import issues, finance, litigation and numerous other business and legal issues, Pagel, Davis & Hill has served as our general counsel. [PDH] has guided us through the many legal problems that face businesses today. By taking the time to understand our business, they have been able to assist us on a wide variety of issues and serve us as an outside version of in-house counsel. I value both the legal and business advice of Carey Davis and appreciate our relationship with him and his firm. I would very much recommend Pagel, Davis & Hill to any small to medium-sized business looking for comprehensive legal advice based on the [PDH] commitment to understanding their client’s business and delivering services tailored to meet a company’s total needs.”
