Client Reviews
"Mara is great at what she does and I will recommend her to anyone. “She listens, rather than waits to talk giving you the ability to explain your needs. Based on that, she is able to decipher what is needed for your contractual needs and translate that to protecting you. Conversely, she is able to talk heavy legal jargon and explain it to you in simple terms. What more can you want in a lawyer?”"
"Mara Geronemus is a rock star! “Mara is our go-to lawyer for our start-up. We have worked with her from day 1 and continue to use her as a freelance General Counsel when we need to create or amend contracts and documents or for basic legal questions and advice. We cannot recommend her more highly. Mara is smart, fast, detail-oriented, collaborative and budget minded. We have sent many friends and colleagues to her and they have all been incredibly happy with the outcome of her work and the experience of working with Mara.”"
