EXCELLENT Based on 14 reviews Posted on Ryan2025-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are great. Highly recommend. Great communication and attention to detail. Mr. Marshall was extremely helpful and did a fantastic job for us. Would recommend him to anyone.Posted on Zenobia Chinoy2025-03-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David Pipal is the a true professional. He worked tirelessly on our behalf to help us through a difficult process with an insurance company. We would not hesitate to recommend this firm.Posted on Mike Ritzmann2025-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It took a very good reason to choose a firm 367 miles away from me and Jon and MPP provided it. After Jon did the intake over the phone and gave me as much time as I needed to explain a complicated affair, my wife and I discussed it and retained MPP the next day. I knew MPP would put my mind at ease and resolve the matter in my favor, and they certainly did - expeditiously and with authority, dispatching the claimants with prejudice. Brett Leal handled the case and, as expected, had an intricate understanding of relevant law, but also picked up on things I never considered which resulted in an extremely strong draft letter. This got the ball rolling in my direction right away and we wrapped it up shortly thereafter. It was easy to maintain contact with Brett and his support staff when I needed a follow up or had a quick question. I certainly hope I don't find myself needing another lawyer, but if I do, I will call Brett and MPP straightaway.Posted on Joyce2024-10-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful people! Very prompt at returning calls, and emails. Knowledgeable and professional. I felt comfortable with Brett and that he would address all issues and concerns.Posted on Tyler Beard2024-10-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Helped me deal with a difficult situation and provided a buffer from an unhinged tenant giving me mental space and freedom in focus on other things.Posted on Charlotte Morse2023-12-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our company had a customer with a fairly large outstanding balance (for a small business) that we tried in every way to collect. Marshall Presley and Pipal PLLC worked their magic and we not only received the full amount owed with partial interest but all attorney fees as well. We tried for two years to collect on this outstanding balance with no success. We very much appreciate the efforts of Jonathan Marshall and his staff. We will definitely utilize their services again if needed.Posted on Fine Cut Construction2023-10-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to common questions about our legal services.
Entity formation is the legal process of creating a business structure—like an LLC, corporation, or partnership. Choosing the right entity impacts taxes, liability, operations, and compliance, so it’s a critical first step in starting or restructuring a business.
The best entity depends on your goals, ownership structure, risk tolerance, and tax considerations. An attorney can explain the differences between LLCs, corporations, and other options to help you make an informed decision that supports long-term success.
Depending on the entity type and state, you’ll typically need formation documents like Articles of Incorporation or Organization, an Operating Agreement or Bylaws, and an EIN. A lawyer ensures these are properly drafted and filed.
At MPP Legal, we take the guesswork out of forming your business. We offer personalized guidance, draft all necessary documents, and help you set up your entity correctly—right from the start.
We don’t just fill out forms—we help you understand the legal and strategic impact of your entity choice. MPP Legal provides insight, structure, and long-term legal support tailored to your business goals.
