Client Reviews
"I had a contract dispute with a large local plumbing company and needed good advice urgently. I reached out to Insight Legal. Ranvir was prompt in responding to my consult request. He took my initial call and patiently listened while I provided a broad overview of my specific situation. He gave me some pointers which I used to work with the plumbing company to negotiate a settlement amount that was ~50% less than the amount claimed. He subsequently took time to review the proposed simple one page settlement agreement I received from the contractor and substantially beefed it up to make sure my interests were protected and that I would not be exposed to any future claims or liability. Ranvir was polite and thoroughly professional in my interactions. Highly recommend him. 5 stars, well deserved."
"I was looking for an attorney to help me set up an LLC. We set up a consultation, and it was an extremely productive and helpful meeting. Ranvir has been very nice to work with, and responsive. He did a great job setting up the LLC from start-to-finish -- all of the state filings, putting together the operating agreement, etc. Highly recommended if you are starting a new business. I plan to continue working with Insight Legal and Ranvir for additional work in the future such as contract review."
"Ranvir is my go-to when it comes to business legality matters. Walked me through the S Corp formation process and various filings thereafter (board minutes, employment agreements, & etc.). Always attentive during our meetings and responsive when you need his expertise on the fly!"
