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.

"I hired Daniel H. Weberman, Attorney at Law to represent us in a case against a former client as well as update our current services agreement. Mr. Weberman was patient answering our questions (as this has been our first legal matter in 17 years in business). Through Mr. Weberman, we were able to win the case against our former client as well as have our service agreement updated. I hope I don't need legal services ever again in the future. If I do, I will most definitely hire Mr. Weberman again."
