Client Reviews

"Mr. Bark succeed to create a LLC on my behalf and draft contracts for my new business. His response time is really good. Just one thing, there was a misunderstanding when he helped me to open the business bank account (I'm not a US citizen), which led that account to be closed by the bank since paperwork brought by Mr. Bark didn't meet their policy. Fortunately, I managed to open the bank account myself."
