Client Reviews
"Fast response, clear communication, good result. Thanks!"
"Chad is super knowledgeable, responsive, smart and pragmatic. A pleasure to work with."
"Chad is very responsive and considerate to my needs. He produced quality work in an extremely tight timeline and helped me close the deal successfully. I would definitely work with Chad again."
"A great experience working with Chad. I value deep legal knowledge, accuracy, concise communication, and speed. Chad has them all."
"I hired Chad to draft a terms of service and privacy policy for a website and mobile service. I have to say that I was somewhat disappointed in the overall quality of work. I was hoping to find an attorney that would think hard about my business situation and be proactive about thinking through scenarios that were specific to my business, but I found him mostly responsive to my suggestion and concerns rather than proactive. I had to do a lot of groundwork to make sure I was safe and the whole thing took a lot of my time."
"Fast and Reliable"
