Client Reviews
"Wonderful experience. Jenny was very knowledgable."
"Jenny was great. She reviewed my contract in one day so that I had a response that afternoon. Her work is excellent. I would use her again."
"Jenny guided us through structuring and forming a limited liability company, and drafted a thorough, customized operating agreement for our new business. Our needs were time sensitive and Jenny's turnaround time was great. We were very satisfied and will use Jenny again for our business's ongoing legal needs."
"Jenny counseled our nonprofit through every step in the process of becoming a 501(c)(3) exempt organization, and complying with annual filing and administrative requirements. Jenny was patient, organized, and confident, and provided straight-forward, easy to understand legal advice. We appreciated her availability and responsiveness, and felt that the process from start to finish was very smooth."
