"Mr. Stambaugh was hired to review and handle negotiations regarding a labor contract. Initial consult was free and he was reasonable in his fees. More importantly, his insights into the contract were exceptional, concise and clear; the contract was finalized with clear language that protected clients interests and gave client fair compensation."
