Client Reviews
"Martin drafted our agreement on a short deadline. He thoroughly explained the document and offered to make any changes required by the other party at no extra charge. He offered me a low, fixed annual rate phone consult fee that is perfect for a small business owner. Martin is also my registered agent and provides my annual corporate filings and minutes."
"As our organization continues to grow, Martin has been an invaluable partner. He has been a great sounding board and adviser on sensitive and organizational issues. Martin has worked with us on the preparation of documents, employee handbooks, agreements, etc. He assisted us in explaining the agreements to our veterans and volunteered as a presenter at our PTSD Awareness Conference. I consider Martin a valuable member of the This Able Veteran team."
