Client Reviews
"Jim has been an ideal attorney for us. Knowledgable, thoughtful and fair-minded. He provided not only the specific services we needed—document review and drafting, liaison and negotiator with opposing counsel—but general legal and business guidance, which proved invaluable for our company. We plan to work with Jim again, and would strongly recommend him to others."
"Extremely helpful and helped me feel good about signing an agreement for a very affordable price. Thanks so much!"
"Jim understood our business immediately, asked great questions, and produced an excellent set of legal documents for us. I will definitely be working with him again."
"James is going to go above and beyond the minimum. He is extremely thorough and well organized. He created a versatile Purchase Contract form me that was well written in plain language. The flow was well thought out. Hire him before his fee skyrockets."
