Consulting Contract Template
"Timothy Marks worked on two projects for me and it was a great experience. We had a kick-off call where he made sure he understood my situation and needs. He created detailed contract documents that are easy for me to edit as needed. He also provided a very detailed analysis and interpretation of policies I needed reviewed for my situation. He explained them in an easy-to-follow way, provided context and his rationale. On top of it all, he was very quick in responding to any questions I had. I would hire Tim again anytime."

What Are Certification Marks?
Certification marks are names, symbols, or devices used by groups or persons that show compliance to a set of standards. A certification mark does not distinguish between producers.
