Thomas Demuth

"I have worked with Tom on several complicated projects, notably a major project in Tunica, and am partners with him on a project in Jackson, MS."

"My companies first retained Tom DeMuth as our attorney in the mid- 1990s when Tom was a young attorney at Godfrey and Kahn, S.C. My various companies continue to work with Tom to this day. Our company began by acquiring and developing large travel centers throughout the U.S. We ultimately sold this portfolio and Tom represented us in the sale. We then began acquiring and developing, with Tom’s assistance, oil change facilities in the mid-west and built a portfolio of about 60 centers which we franchised as Valvoline. Ultimately, we sold this portfolio to a Canadian company and Tom represented us in this sale. After that sale, we acquired, with Tom’s assistance, a portfolio of properties in Florida and then develop and acquired, with Tom’s assistance, additional properties to add to the portfolio. I then decided to sell my interest in the Florida company and I used Tom as my advisor. I continue to acquire and sell companies and real estate and I still work with Tom. Tom has represented our companies in corporate matters such as establishing the entities, restructuring our entities, merging our companies with outside entities, admission of new shareholders, regulatory filings, preparing non-compete and licensing agreements, obtaining debt and equity, the sale of many entities and many similar matters. Our companies are heavily involved in the real estate industry and Tom assisted us in the buying and selling, entitling, developing, leasing, financing and franchising of our real estate. Our companies deal with tax issues daily and since Tom began his legal career as a tax attorney, he is able to provide us quality tax advice. As someone who has retained many different attorneys in many different parts of the country, I have never worked with anyone as skilled, ethical and responsive as Tom. He provides us with innovative solutions and common-sense advice in a cost-efficient manner. Tom is a very unique attorney in that he has a thorough understanding of corporate, tax, regulatory, real estate, litigation and estate planning law. If you would like to discuss anything further, Tom can give you my contact information."

"Tom is an experienced real estate attorney with a vast experience in both real estate law and commercial real estate in general. The background in commercial real estate ownership and development gives Tom a better foundation than most real estate attorneys which equips Tom to provide better advice to clients. I highly recommend Tom."

"Tom is a former law partner of mine at Godfrey and Kahn. He was always my "go to" attorney for real estate matters when we practiced together. He is "top notch"!"
