"Mr. Riordan did not provide the services he promised. The job I posted was to sign a document and he promised to deliver that. What he delivered was a letter stating that he can not sign the document because he is does not practice law in California. The money that I paid him was a complete waste and feel misled. I communicated that with him and asked for a refund but of course he denied it."

They were incredibly friendly and easy to work with — the kind of attorney you feel comfortable asking the hard questions to — and their communication was consistently fast, clear, and proactive. If you want an attorney who’s both technically sharp and genuinely approachable, this is the one to hire. Truly worth every dollar.

Communication was fast, clear, and organized, and every deliverable was polished and usable immediately. If you need someone who’s not only technically strong but also understands how real businesses operate, this is the attorney you hire. Worth every dollar."
