Legal Services for ROYAL eRetailer Solutions - Agreements Review and Development
"Michael did an outstanding job helping me with several agreements for my new Amazon services consulting and sales company. His expertise and experience really shine through in the quality of his work, and I found his services to be very affordable, especially considering the high caliber of what he delivered. After completing the agreements, I needed a significant addition based on some feedback I received a day or two later. Michael was incredibly accommodating and made the update without seeking additional payment. As someone starting a business, where expenses often outweigh revenue in the beginning, this was truly appreciated. Thank you, Michael! I look forward to working with you again very soon on our next assignment!"

Review Business Consulting Agreement
"Jake is a great attorney to work with. I needed help reviewing and revising a contractor agreement before signing. Jake spoke with me before to make sure he covered all of my concerns - and also let me know what I should look out for in future contracts. He was able to turn around the work in half a day... 10x faster than any other lawyer that quoted me! He also offered to work on any revisions until I was satisfied. I would highly recommend him to anyone."

"Brandon recently worked with my partner and me on a Buy/Sell Agreement. His approach is smart, personable, and empathetic. He understands that his clients are not lawyers and have many questions. He answered our questions without judgment and explained things in ways that business owners will understand. His communication style allows for efficiency to move the process forward with fewer revisions. He was accessible, prompt, and provided us with an agreement that addressed our concerns, leveraged his experience, and allowed us to move forward in our business. I would recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice and services."
