"Jose is amazing - he help me a great deal."
"Jose was a fabulous resource - responsive, insightful and thorough in reviewing my work. I appreciated his communication and clarity explaining complex & foreign contract language. Will use again. Thanks Jose!"
"I have known and worked with Jose on a range of business issues since ~2001. My business context with Jose has included a variety of legal matters including shareholder agreements, employment agreements and more. Jose is a thorough and thoughtful attorney that would be an asset to most large businesses. Jose uses his keen intellect to quickly distill the essential elements of a variety of contracts, so that an intelligent business person (without much legal experience) can understand what the issues are. He can help business teams quickly focus on the key decisions they must make and the trade-offs that they should consider. Jose is diligent and has a sense of urgency about his work. He is a team player able to work with people from a variety of backgrounds."
"Jose is a pleasure to work with. He is a great communicator who makes sure that he is delivering what you are asking for. He makes a promise of when your work product will be delivered and sticks to it. Jose is very knowledgeable of the business of healthcare and uses that knowledge to assist with deal negotiations. I trust and rely on the advise I get from Jose, he is a leader among his peers."
