"Very strong on intellectual property, patents, copyrights, etc. especially as they pertain to software."
"As a small business owner trying to protect my company while expanding, I knew I would need a lawyer to help me wade through legal jargon in contracts. Thank goodness I found Kristin. She made the whole process easy for me and took the time to answer all my question, as well as change the contracts so that they were not so heavily in favor of the owners."
