Allen Stahl + Kilbourne - Winston-Salem

Scott Burger and ASK Law have been incredible to work with in this ever-changing industry. To say the last seven years have been challenging is an understatement, but Scott has been a tremendous help from day one — from early on TTB permitting and NC ABC permitting to trademarks and everything in between. Most recently, he and his team guided us through obtaining our DSP and winery permits in 2025, and we truly couldn’t have done it without them. They are always responsive, thorough, and go above and beyond to keep us informed every step of the way. Highly recommend Scott and the ASK Law team for anyone who needs reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed support.

I’ve worked with Scott on many commercial real estate transactions, and he is consistently outstanding. He’s highly responsive, incredibly knowledgeable, and understands the real-world dynamics of getting complex deals across the finish line. Scott doesn’t just draft documents, he thinks strategically, anticipates issues, and helps solve problems before they become roadblocks. My clients are always in great hands with him, and I have complete confidence bringing him into any transaction. If you need a sharp, practical commercial real estate attorney, Scott is exactly who you want on your team.

Scott and the team at ASK law have been an incredible resource. I was referred to Scott by a mutual friend in the craft industry and ever since that intro - Scott has been someone I could reach out to and know with confidence I am being pointed in the right direction. I recently purchased a local brewery in the WS area and Scott and his team handled everything from start to finish, and has gone above and beyond since the transition to help me navigate the industry and its complexities. I highly recommend Scott and his team for anyone that needs guidance and support navigating the craft industry. Cheers!

Scott Burger, Derek Allen, and team always provide common sense legal solutions for our craft brewery business. They are conscious of the tight margins of a small business and are very efficient in how they operate, using (highly competent) paralegals to handle more basic tasks but not afraid of digging in where their legal experience is required. I have yet to find limits to their legal abilities. Their advice is very practical and well-informed, as they've operated in the NC alcohol space for a long time and therefore seem to know all the key players on both the regulatory and business sides of the industry. Most of our work is with Scott Burger, and Scott is responsive to the extreme and simply a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend Allen Stahl + Kilbourne!

I cannot recommend Allen Stahl + Kilbourne enough. We have been working with Derek and Scott since our brewery's inception and they have helped us navigate all of the legal complexities of a brewery (and those of any other small business in general) in a very time and cost efficient manner. Their expertise has made them an indispensable partner in our business's growth and progression.
