Client Reviews
""Mike advised us on forming an LLC. He explained the advantages of an LLC for our business, and then took care of everything. The whole process was effortless. He even called on several occasions after the set up to see if we had any problems switching everything over to the LLC (car title, bank accounts, etc.). He seems to really care about our business and our progress."
""My husband and I are starting a new company and needed to get a trademark. Not only was Mr. Thomas clear and precise at every step, but he kept us informed and aware when we needed to be. I look forward to working with him in the future and would highly recommend him for his expertise.""
