Client Reviews
"I was looking for someone to draft an Independent Contractor Agreement, Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy for my business and Jenny did a great job of providing what I needed and more. She offered a rate that stayed within my budget, and she took the time to review my website, business model, and my competitor's websites as well. She offered suggestions that were helpful, but most importantly it was easy and comfortable working with her."
"Jenny Villier was excellent at helping me revise an independent contractor agreement. She explained to me the original version's implications, along with the reasons for the changes requested. I felt that the work was done with a high degree of professionalism, and would work with this attorney again in the future."
"Jenny Villier has been the best attorney I have worked with thus far. She is easy to work with and gets the job done! So very glad I found her."
