"Thank you so much for your expertise and help in the independent contractor field. You proved to be an expert in this field. I am so glad you had a blog on this subject as It helped me distinguish you from all the other website attorneys who named independent contractors as their field of expertise along 5 or more other fields. At every step your positive attitude to all my inquiries throughout this transaction made me feel very comfortable and reassured. I now know I picked the right attorney!!!!!!!!!"

""I worked with Bob when he was VP and General Counsel for Scotia Prince Cruises. My company GMD Solutions was the Washington Office for Scotia Prince Cruises and marketed the ship's capabilities for military charters. For example, we chartered the ship to the Military Sealift Command on two occasions, including several months for Hurricane Katrina relief. Bob was an exceptional General Counsel, working on difficult legal and employee issues during the ship's operations in Maine and Canada, as well as the charters to the US Dept of Defense. He would be an asset to any company!" - Ronald Carlberg, President, GMD Solutions, Inc. - Washington DC"
