Richard Shope
I contacted LPE after efforts on my own to find a satisfactory buyer were unsuccessful.
LPE introduced me to an individual who I did not know but who was aware of me and my practice.
LPE assisted with the negotiations which resulted in a successful sale of the practice. I chose to take a large portion of the purchase price in payments. I received the last payment recently and made my last payment to LPE. Everything done by LPE in connection with this transaction was done in a timely and professional manner. I have been very pleased with the services of LPE.
