Practice Areas



Business Litigation

Being a business owner means that you are continuously under threat of litigation, whether to protect your company’s legal rights or to defend your company against cases filed by businesses with which you have worked, employees, or even shareholders or business partners.



Business Formation

If you are starting a new business, you need the knowledge of an experienced business lawyer who knows how to protect both your personal and business assets, and who will ensure that you choose the business entity that is right for the type of business which you are opening.



Business Transactions

As a business owner, eventually you will need to enter into contracts with third parties, including employees, in order to effectively operate your business. Contracts are legal documents that set forth the duties, rights and obligations of the parties. When contracts fail to clearly set forth exact terms and conditions, parties can end up in costly litigation.



Employment Defense

At Lockhart Law Firm we provide intelligent, comprehensive legal counsel to business owners with respect to employment law matters. Has a current or former employee threatened to sue you or your business? Do you believe that an employee is about to sue you? Would you like some sound legal advice pertaining to Employment Law to avoid future conflict? If so, Lockhart Law Firm is here to help!



Construction Law

Whether you need intelligent legal counsel during contractual negotiations, want information about filing a mechanics lien, or are in need of vigorous representation during construction litigation, Lockhart Law Firm is proud to offer the highest quality legal service to all of our clients.



Estate Planning

Estate Planning is critical for any business owner. Drafting a comprehensive Estate Plan will ensure that your business assets will be distributed to your loved ones in the amount, time and circumstance of your choosing. Additionally, strategically drafted Irrevocable Trusts can provide protection of your assets against creditors and others who would seek to rob you of your wealth by filing frivolous law suits.

Client Experiences

Genuine and Approachable

Mr. Lockhart helped us with some business matters regarding employees. We were very appreciative of his advise. The thing that I like best about him is that he was very genuine and approachable. We felt like we could ask any question, no matter how trivial, which was very important to us. I would highly recommend Mr. Lockhart for any legal situation. He is extremely knowledgeable and we would definitely call on him again, should we have the need!

“An attorney you can trust!”

I’ve worked with many attorneys in the past and lets just say it’s been eye-opening. Sam really stands out in the world of attorneys! I would describe him as honest and helpful.. There are times when he could “take my money” but he lets me know if something is unnecessary or if there is a better way to accomplish my goal. This has helped to develop a lot of trust. He is great at managing a big plan with all of the pieces and moving parts that entails. He is my go to resource when I have a question about business law, asset protection, or real estate transactions.

Tracy

Excellent day at the office

Sam did both a couple of trust and some contract work for my mother and I and we were delighted at the end results of all his hard work. Avery pleasant family man who really knows his job. Also Caleb, his assistant is quite knowledgeable in expediting and minimizing my workload as a client. I would recommend this law group to all. Top notch experience and I will use them again.

Robert

“Great service and makes the complex easy to understand.”

Sam has been a great resource for several years now. We have had the opportunity to work with mutual clients. Sam is able to explain complex legal strategies in way that makes sense without losing the important details that clients and advisors need to know.

Craig

Excellent service and knowledge!

Sam worked with me to establish a new structure for my company. He has extensive business knowledge and offered advice and ideas that I had not considered. He completed all work early, is detail-oriented and made sure I understood every aspect of the project. Sam has strong communication skills and I enjoy working with him.

Amy

Remarkable (Honest) Attorney

Sam Lockhart is not the first attorney I have hired, but he is unique for the simple reason that he is a very honest attorney. Many people believe that an honest attorney is an oxymoron, but Sam changed all of that. I highly recommend him.

Terry

Excellent Business Attorney

We initially retained Sam Lockhart a few years ago to negotiate with our landlord to reduce our monthly rent on the space we lease for our business. He was able to achieve a 40% rent reduction which was huge for us, much more than we expected. He assisted us with setting up another Corporation, establishing our Family Trust, reviewed our Employee Handbook from a legal perspective and is always available to answer the many questions that a small business owner has. He is an invaluable resource and a great person. My husband and I would highly recommend him.

Knowledge & Normative Convergence in Property Law May 20, 2020
Post by Malcolm Lavoie. One of the most intriguing features of New Private Law scholarship is its recognition that diverse normative accounts often converge in explaining core private law doctrine. For instance, the right to exclude as an incident of ownership can be understood in consequentialist terms as a means of accounting for information costs, […]
