Client Reviews
"We used Phil to review and update several business documents including our Non-Disclosure and Non-Complete Agreements. Phil was able to quickly review and provide meaningful revisions to our documents which had not been updated for many years and subsequently contained several terms which were no longer valid or enforceable."
"Phil was able to identify state regulatory hurdles for a proposed crypto based money transmitter business. Although the financial backers ultimately chose not move forward with the project, Phil was able to identify a cost effective solution that would have enabled us to begin operations legally and quickly that was never considered by prior counsel. The most remarkable part is that it took Phil only a few days of research to identify options whereas our prior counsel provided only a single and very expensive option after several dozens of billable hours had been expended."
