TESTIMONIALS

From Jennifer Dennehy
owner of Kinetic Creativity

In 2018 I was looking into various ways to re-organize my business. I saw brief statements about Benefit corporations but couldn’t find too much information about whether a Pennsylvania limited liability company could be established as a benefit company. So I reached out to a lawyer friend who recommended John Leemhuis as the person who specializes in this type of work.

When I sat down with John, I was immediately blown away by his knowledge about Benefit corporations, but I was particularly moved by his authentic passion for how this type of business could truly make a positive impact in our communities both socially and environmentally. Social impact is a large part of my mission at Kinetic Creativity which enables dance for all people regardless of age, ability or income level. After sitting with John to discuss the details, it was clear that this was the type of business I wanted to create in Erie, PA and that he was the lawyer to help make this happen. I highly recommend John as a lawyer, and if you are considering becoming a B-Corp or benefit company, it is worth meeting with John to learn if it is a good fit for you

From Mr. Mike Okel
president of Hughes-Peters


It is my distinct pleasure to highly recommend John Leemhuis as a business law attorney. John and I have been associated for over 20 years. When the company I worked for was sold, I needed to find a new career. I turned to John to help me with the biggest decision of my life in acquiring a business in another state. He was very experienced in acquisitions, and a savvy lawyer with a solid reputation for resolving legal matters to his clients’ satisfaction.

John has been my attorney, legal advisor and confidante as my company has grown with acquisitions in markets such as Chicago, Orlando and Houston. His financial expertise and due diligence in handling these proceedings for my company has made the process very streamlined and efficient.

Not only does John do the work needed to accomplish the acquisition, but he has educated me along the way so that I became more knowledgeable about the purchase process. This has assisted me in being able to evaluate business opportunities in a capable and timely manner.

John Leemhuis was very instrumental in the success that Hughes-Peters has achieved because of his business acumen. He helped to launch the next phase in my business career. I am pleased to support John in the opening of his law office.
