"Alejandro was great to work with. Very responsive, pleasant and knowledgeable."
"I very much enjoy working with Alejandro and as an attorney myself, trust his advice when it comes to tech and startups."
"My experience with Alejandro was fantastic. Before utilizing his expertise for legal document review and creation I wanted to obtain his insight on some foundational elements of creating a business. As a person new to business ownership, Alejandro was able to walk me through the necessary legal thought process for choosing the entity type, state of incorporation, and help me walk through the timing of incorporation given my current go-to-market roadmap. I look forward to using his services again in the very near future."
