Client Reviews
"Jeff helped me incorporate my fledgling photography business and has served as counsel since the beginning. He has always helped answer all of my legal questions (from employment issues, tax questions, moving our offices, etc.) as my business has grown and changed over the years."
"Jeff reviewed an existing contractor agreement, summarized it and drafted an entirely new agreement to grow and protect my new business properly. Jeff was professional, very responsive and we will definitely use him in the future for any legal needs."
