Diltina Development Corporation

In 2011 I hired Walt to handle a workout for me and i was 100% satisfied with the outcome. I don't feel anyone could have done a better job then Walt. Based on his excellent performance, I recently ired Walt to negotiate a significant acquisition for my company, and it ended up being one of the most successful acquisitions in our company's 17 year history. It is fun and exciting working with Walt to discuss strategies and negotiate deals. Walt is a great partner for my business. We have more deals working.

Ninety-Nine Investments, LLC

Doing real estate in Miami for many years, I’ve come to know alot of attorneys, and I have the experience to distinguish the good ones from the bad ones. Recently, we entered into a real estate transaction in the Atlanta market without having any local contacts. We feel extremely fortunate to have met Walt Burton. We were faced with a very short diligence timeline and closing schedule, and Walt never missed a beat. He guided us through the entire process. Great guy, great character and great detail-oriented attorney.

Kauffman Tire, Inc.

I worked with Walt for several years at Troutman Sanders LLP, and he was always considered the “Golden Child” as he was the favorite real estate attorney amongst the lawyers at the firm. Walt earned this status due to his great personality and his exceptional ability to get deals done effectively, efficiently, and on time. He has a unique ability to cut through all of the legal white noise and get to the heart of a matter. Walt is a business man, so he understands the business issues and doesn’t waste time and money on insignificant matters. I’m now General Counsel at a large, privately owned company, and I call Walt whenever I’m unsure of something because I know he’ll know the answer, or be able to get to the bottom of a question quickly as he’s very resourceful and intelligent. Walt is an excellent attorney, and I recommend him wholeheartedly. Clients now have the benefit of hiring an exceptional large firm attorney in a more personalized small firm setting, at a much lower cost. He’s a great bargain and you will quickly realize that you want him on your side both as an attorney and a friend!

Matt Dressler, Teammate

Kevin was always the kind of person, who never gave up on anything or anyone no matter the circumstance. From the long hours on the track to the grueling work-outs in the weight room, he was always admired and respected by other team mates on the UT track team. Kevin always had a passion and tenacious ability to focus on the task at hand no matter the distractions.

Matt Dewalt, Teammate

Kevin and I competed on the Track team. He quickly became a leader on the team and was a major contributor to the National Championship that Tennessee earned. He's a leader, a do'er. Kevin is someo I would trust both personally and professionally. He's one of the most solid all around guys - I think most people who know him would say the same.

Tools Network

Starting a new business, I knew we needed to have an attorney to look over everything related to our industry. I did a lot of homework and found Kevin Thompson. I called Kevin and was able to talk to him directly about what we wanted to do, I told him about our company and even went to Nashville and met Kevin after I knew he was our man. I took the plunge and made Kevin our corporate attorney. I wanted an attorney to be compatible with the our internet company and Kevin out performed our expectations. The level of service was significantly better than most of the high priced firms. Kevin made our setup a breeze and I and everyone on my staff enjoy working with him. Kevin is our primary attorney and he over sees our operating system in general, he was the best choice I could have ever made. If you are looking to start up a company or have started and now find you need an attorney firm, I would highly recommend Kevin and his staff, the fees are fair and he will go overboard to help. You should not be disappointed!, and more than likely will be impressed. I cannot thank him enough for all the work he has put into the Tools Network. It’s going to be hard to find someone superior to Kevin for the price and features he offers.

MePower

I was researching MLM attorneys and I came upon Kevin Thompson's name. I spoke with four other MLM attorneys besides Kevin, but I almost knew immediately he was the person I was looking to work with. I spoke with Kevin several times before we began working together, and every time I spoke with him he was pleasant and friendly. When Kevin had an opinion of something he believed should be changed in my business he was honest, and straight with me. Kevin was extremely efficient in his assessment of my company, and quickly figured out what I was trying to achieve. He was fast, helpful, and made me feel as though I had someone on my side that knew what they were talking about. Thank you Kevin! It has, and will continue to be a pleasure working with you.

Kevin Thompson has been a wonderful resource for advice and expertise regarding all things MLM. He has been instrumental for our company in guiding us through the process of getting started in this often complicated world of MLM law. What first impressed me was his willingness to listen and learn about my business plan and what my needs actually were. He has consistently been responsive, professional and easy to talk to. I would recommend Kevin without hesitation.

Go GungHo

Kevin was fantastic. We have a referral program so didn't think the MLM laws applied as such to us. Kevin helped us understand what we could claim. He hit every deadline he committed. He gaveus extra help beyond what was promised once he saw our distribution model. He thought out of the box to draft policies and procedures etc that matched our new business model. He helped us understand the applicable law but clearly demonstrated a sound understanding of our business' needs. Kevin referred me to other great attorneys for patent work etc., Further, he was an absolute gentleman. Very respectful and great to work with. I would say it was easily the best experience working with an attorney that i have ever had.

I worked with Kevin on a compensation plan project and was most impressed with his professionalism, his expertise in the direct selling industry, and his work ethic. I would recommend him to anybody as an effective attorney in the direct selling industry.

Signature Management Team

Kevin is one of the best communicators, written and verbal, I’ve come across and I’ve always felt being good at both is nearly impossible. He also has the uncanny ability to break down complicated issues into understandable pieces so they can then be more easily evaluated. And as a lawyer he is very good at communicating complicated legal issues so the lay person can follow without needing broad legal knowledge. I’ve always appreciated that about him. He’s a valuable asset to any team.

Midland States Bank

I have worked with Walt for the past two years on many successful CRE workouts. We recently worked together closing a new CRE loan that had many complexities, including a large out of state industrial building, a long term land lease, a tenant that was a joint venture of two large out of state companies and it involved a number of environmental and title/survey issues. We were challenged to close the loan within 3 weeks of credit approval. I organized a conference call with our borrower and their counsel and Walt walked everyone through a checklist and discussed each parties responsibility. He even assisted me by working directly with the title company and our borrower to assist them in obtaining critical documentation. In the end, Walt’s willingness to take ownership of the transaction and meet the closing date resulted in a very satisfied customer for the bank. Walt is prompt, thorough, knowledgeable, experienced and always checks back to make sure we are satisfied, and I look forward to engaging him on many more lending opportunities.

I have worked with a lot of Attorneys in my 30 years in business, but I've never encountered another attorney that I thought was as thorough and detailed as Walt. His negotiating skills are excellen and other attorneys are now asking me for Walt's number so that he can assist them with their own legal matters. I would strongly trust Walt to handle matters for me in the future. My experience with Walt was excellent.

Jillian Chase

Being a new start-up Party Plan company we were seeking the best-of-the-best for our consulting A-Team. When it came time for legal counsel on making sure we were doing everything right, Kevin's namewas presented to us by other members of our consulting team, telling us he was the best...and they were right! From the first minute Kevin was right there with us, literally day and night, as we had some deadlines we wanted to meet. Always cool, always professional, and always one-step ahead...that's Kevin. Most importantly to us, Kevin speaks English, not legalese! That was extremely refreshing and helped move things along smoothly and without some of the usual stress that can come with dealing with legal counsel. I would highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for an attorney who knows the direct selling market and makes working through the legal issues painless.
