Client Reviews
"Julia was great - extremely responsive and was able to turn around the initial work almost immediately (which I've found to be rare in the legal profession). I had asked her to focus on a few key areas, which she did extremely well while also proactively identifying a few outliers and making recommendations - was very accommodating in setting up quick phone calls throughout to answer questions. Overall great experience!"
"Julia is a clear and timely communicator and able to distill down information so its easily digestible and clear to all involved."
"Julia was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with! She even took the time to meet with me in person to talk about future projects which was great. I would definitely hire again!"
"Great working with Julia. She was highly responsive, communicated well, followed up, and was detail oriented."
"I strongly recommend Julia! Having a small start up with varying needs, Julia has been able to advise me on issues large and small, from intern contracts to intellectual property issues to consulting contracts with large multinationals. She also walked me through all the steps of incorporation and helped me register for my trademark. She is super responsive, delivers on time and I always feel I am a VIP client!"
""Julia has been a tremendous help to my various technology-related projects since 2008. Her expertise in my little startup-focused corner of the business world helps me thwart not-so-obvious legal mistakes. Additionally, her services are cost-effective and timely. I recommend her services to every early-stage technology entrepreneur.” — James Cropcho"
