About
I've worked exclusively with startup companies and small business owners since opening my firm. I've handled multiple startup formations, website policies, contractor/consulting agreements, and much more. I also have experience representing a variety of larger companies.

As a business owner, I know, first hand, the common struggles and issues my clients face. I work closely with clients to create innovative solutions for their legal needs.

I pride myself on preparing plain English legal agreements that my clients can understand and establishing flat fee pricing so my clients can better plan and budget for their legal needs.
