“Mr. Hagemeister has proven to be a vital aspect of my external team. From business consultation to expertise and experience in transactional law online and offline, he has provided Sinaloa Group with a level of protection which has equated into a competitive advantage.”

"Steve goes far beyond the attorney/client relationship and is truly interested in my business and its ultimate success. He asks the right questions and makes you feel like you are talking to a business partner vs. an attorney. I recommend him highly, not just in the online advertising space but in general internet transactions as well."

“Over the past 15 years, Steve has been part of my advisory team through many of my business ventures. As an entrepreneur himself, he understands the range of challenges and the entrepreneur’s desire to make good decisions quickly. He has strategically assisted us in the development of our business plans, in structuring our business relationships and in dealing with the inevitable business disputes. Thanks Steve.”

“We knew we wanted to start a business, but we were at a loss as to where to begin. For months we just didn’t do anything. Once we met you, all of that changed. You professionally guided us through the process of what type of corporation to set up and where we could go to make ourselves knowledgeable about our decision. You could easily have taken advantage of the fact that this was all new to us, but instead you used it as an opportunity to teach and mentor. We appreciate the time you took to detail all of our documents to fit our future business route as well as meet our short term goals. You took the time to meet with us in person, listen carefully and customize a plan that matched our needs. Thank you for your referral to other professionals that have eased this start up process for us. I am sure that your decision to keep to your core expertise rather than handle every transaction is only one of the many attributes that makes you unique. You can count on us as long term customers.”

“In what I expected to be a lengthy and complicated conflict resolution, Steve got to the heart of the matter and provided thoughtful insight in producing a legal document that exceeded all expectations. We were under significant time restraints as well, and Steve gathered information and finished the project in an unbelievably short amount of time. He is an impressive, ethical professional.”

“The Hagemeister Law Firm exceeded my professional expectations. Timely, organized, articulate, experienced, effective, progressive, and ethical were characteristics I needed in a lawyer, and I found them in Steve.”

"Steve's ambition, energy and commitment to go the extra mile for his clients are both rare and refreshing. These qualities, combined with a strategic mindset based on extensive experience in working with any size and structure of organization, enables Steve to offer a new perspective to any challenge. The result is a collaborative and respectful long-term partnership with his clients, that is based on sound strategic solutions."

“Thank you so much for your immediate responses for even the smallest of tasks. We know how busy you are and it means a lot that you do your best to make us a priority. You have done everything you said you would and we appreciate it. Thanks again.”

“Steve is great to work with for several reasons--he is easy to work with, very patient and thorough. Steve is very reasonable with his legal fees. I look forward to a long relationship with Steve and his law firm.”

“Steve thinks like an entrepreneur and communicates everything in non-legal terminology. I like that. And I like the fact that he understands the internet industry. Come to think of it, Steve strikes me as more of a businessman who happens to be a lawyer. When I run my issues past him, his advice is always practical and solution-oriented. Well done.”

“Steve is a perfectionist and is always looking for ways to improve his performance. As a business consultant and an attorney, he understands the value in finding the most economically efficient solutions and in making good decisions.”

“As the President of Sinaloa Group, an innovative interactive advertising agency, my strategy to work with Mr. Hagemeister on matters from business fundamentals pertaining to proof-of-concept consultation to contract law has proven successful. His expertise in internet transactions has given my company the protection needed to compete within an almost unrestricted environment. The integrity and professionalism he has displayed has been second to none.”

“Most any lawyer can provide a well-researched analysis of a legal question. Steve adds to this an honest interest to provide a meaningful response that supports real-world application by his client.”

“In my over thirty years in business, I have never met an attorney quite like Steve. Steve has an unparalleled understanding of the multitude of general business, healthcare and managed care issues, ranging from clinical to contractual to financial to complex regulatory analysis, facing today's corporate executives in a very dynamic business environment. From a regulatory standpoint, Steve has a sixth sense of about how the government will react to arrangements. His honesty and integrity is very refreshing in a world where most attorneys will just tell you what you want to hear or justify potentially dangerous behavior instead of steering you away from it.”

“Steve Hagemeister is one of the most highly competitive people I know. His drive to be the best and win on the sports field have certainly carried over into his business life. He is tenacious when it comes to getting the desired result for his clients.”

“I have worked with Steve for many years and found him to be one of the most knowledgeable attorneys with respect to all aspects of healthcare. He has a command of the key elements represented in contracts whether it be issues relating to legal, business, or financial matters.”

“In today's business world it is more important than ever to make well informed decisions, and when the inevitable dispute arises, these decisions become critical. On this front, retaining an ethical attorney with solid legal and business experience is paramount. Steve possesses each of these necessary attributes, and has been a valuable member of my legal team in both the pre-litigation and litigation phases of my case. He has consistently assisted me in developing case strategy and evaluating my many legal alternatives, while paying particular attention to disclosing my cost of action and the risk vs. reward of full litigation. Steve has proven to be an attorney I can truly trust.”

“There is nothing more comforting than having an honest, dependable, understanding and reliable attorney working on your side. Steve exceeds all of these qualities along with his enthusiastic drive and impeccable legal knowledge. He is a confidence builder, an ideal listener and an amazing friend.”

“Steve is accessible and handles the specific concerns with a mixture of reality, contemporary changes and hands-on expertise. Steve positions his operational understanding and maximizes opportunities to grow business while maintaining legal compliance.”

“While Steve's professional practice is as a lawyer, I find that the greater value is his ability to understand the needs of the businessperson and communicate like a businessperson. In summary, Steve is unlike any other lawyer I have ever worked with in my twenty years in business.”

“Once Steve and I developed the appropriate course, he would roll up his sleeves and do whatever it took to get the project completed. Steve has a style that is pragmatic, thoughtful and teamwork oriented. He communicates to business executives like a businessperson rather than a lawyer and his work product is always clear and comprehensive. When you work with Steve, you feel like you are getting advice from a lawyer, businessman and a trusted friend!”

“While Steve is a very driven individual and an excellent attorney, his actions and attitude reflect that he is out to conquer the #1 goal of being a stand-up human being. He seems to have a sixth sense about the most efficient way to get from A to B and always delivers what he promises. The Hagemeister Law Firm is the only law firm we would turn to when it comes to our legal needs.”

“Steve always provides imperative insight and counsel to my organization. Steve's talent combines a rare fusion of business, finance and law, a valuable asset much needed in today's business arena. Another rarity, I have found Steve to be equally as knowledgeable when discussing the challenges of running a small organization or large, publicly traded firms.”

“Steve can anticipate and foresee potential problems and has been very instrumental at eliminating crises by being thoughtful, proactive and resourceful. In summary, Steve's greatest asset is his willingness to be a team player and see that problems are solved. His recommendations come with a road map and the resources from Steve and his staff to ensure resolution and the best outcome.”

“I have worked extensively with Steve Hagemeister over the past several years seeking his input on contract language content. Steve is very insightful and can point out the pitfalls of a contract like no other. He is a skillful negotiator and knows what is needed to ensure his client's success. He always keeps a good sense of humor, regardless of what obstacles are thrown his way. Steve is not only intelligent but he's a true delight to work with as well.”

“Steve's breadth of skills enable him to identify a concern, develop a strategy and implement a solution. I would trust Steve's ability to communicate with individuals of any knowledge base and I am confident in his ability to ensure those individuals completely understand the situation.”

“Having known Steve now for over ten years, I will certainly recommend him to all my associates and business contacts as someone who can represent them in business related matters and as someone who has the highest standard of ethics and is well versed in business law.”

“Steve maintains a realistic approach to issues. As the legal issues change with the regulatory agencies, compliance, legislative, managed care and medical malpractice, Steve has sought the resources to address concerns at a visionary speed. Steve does not make arbitrary legal determinations and then leave the facility to search for solutions. Steve commits his time and resources to the hospital team to create solutions that meet the legal requirements and hospital goals. Steve works to stay acquainted with the entire hospital Administrative Team to ensure that issues can be resolved at the appropriate level.”

“Steve has been resourceful and creative in addressing the hospital's business needs while safeguarding the company assets and skillfully interpreting the law. He has always conducted himself in the highest ethical manner. He clearly is part of the team responding to legal questions as a lawyer as well as understanding the entrepreneurship of the CEO. He interprets the law and guides us toward a possible solution within the constraints of the law. He has been an educator of company policy and legal trends. Steve sees the CEO as customer and client, protecting his client from legal exposure but understanding the objectives and pressures associated with the job. He is responsive to our requests developing systems to provide meaningful feedback. Steve ensures that the work his staff produces is within the legal constraints of regulators and company policy while at the same time ensuring that the work product the facilities provide consistently represent the business intent of the hospital. In areas relating to physician recruitment, Steve has demonstrated many times his understanding of the hospital's need to improve access for our communities but carefully guides the CEO on our limitations. And finally, Steve is cost conscious often times consulting with CEOs on how to achieve the same results more efficiently. Steve is an asset to Tenet. He is a tremendous resource to CEOs.”

“Steve always provides me with sensible business options. I am always comfortable with his opinion because I know that it is based on his deep understanding of and hands on experience in business and healthcare law and, just as importantly, his thorough review of all of the facts in front of him.”

“Steve has always been very professional and personal whether it is legal advice, sound business guidance regarding my business partnerships, or just an encouraging word on a tough day, I can always rely on him to steer us in the right direction and counsel us on the best course of action. I will continue to use him and recommend him to others.”

“Steve's extensive legal knowledge and experience in healthcare and managed care... his sense of fairness and integrity... his willingness to listen and provide insightful guidance... made him the most sought after lawyer in our company. Steve was the attorney that you requested when you wanted the right answer and not just what you wanted to hear! I could go on for days. Thank you Steve.”

“First and foremost, Steve needs to understand each hospital's business and proprietary market in order to provide legal guidance and compliance oversight. The variation in the hospitals in geography, culture and resources is vast and Steve has focused his energies at doing the research in all areas: accounting, contractual, physician issues, market growth and development and labor. Once Steve is sure he understands the market and prevailing issues, he has been a hands-on team member to solve problems.”

“Mr. C. Steve Hagemeister is the one of the most upstanding liberal civil servants in his community. With his devotion to supporting and carrying on the legacy of his mentor and big brother, former president William Jefferson Clinton. Steve was responsible for the introduction of Monica Lewinski to Mr. Clinton and the driving force for them to display their love for each other. Steve spends most of his spare time supporting the little guy by searching out ways to stick it to the man. He is the key driving force behind the lawsuit against the RIM corporation (i.e., Blackberry). This will net him a 40 million dollar payday to further support his jobless mentor.”

“Mr. Hagemeister, often referred to as Mr. Jaegermeister, has proven time and time again that beer drinking should indeed be an Olympic sport. Despite second guessing his multiple achievements, I have to believe that he indeed did reach the top of Mt. Everest. I am even more fascinated by his expert knowledge of quantum physics and his theories on molecules and the energy they posses.”

“Steve Hagemeister, oh ya, we know that guy. He's a good shit; doesn't bust our balls too much. So, he's ok in our book.”
