Client Reviews
"Jenny has been more than professional during this process. She has worked diligently and efficiently to resolve our legal matter. I plan on using Jenny for all my legal matters. Thank you!"
"Exceptional attorney. Highly recommend for all business needs."
"Prompt & Thorough!"
"Excellent experience. I had Jenny review and revise our consulting agreement. She was very informative on what language to put in the agreement. This is my 2nd project with her and I will continue to use her/"
"I hired Jenny to address concerns that I had about an independent contractor agreement for a job in New York City. Although she had the ideal background for the job, I was initially hesitant to hire her since she is located in Colorado. I therefore scheduled a phone call with Jenny before deciding to hire her and she went out of her way to research the New York-specifics of my situation. I am very satisfied with the results and can highly recommend her."
"Jenny was great to work with. Quick responses, great clear communication, and exactly the deliverable I was looking for."
