Client Reviews
"Continued Great Work."
"Understood my problem and was able to assist with reviews and edits on y transaction agreement in timely manner"
"Repeat customer here and still only have good things to say. Would recommend 10/10."
"Very pleasantly surprised how smooth this experience was. Mike was extremely professional, thoughtful, patient, and thorough. Will definitely work with him again."
"As a former executive for a billion dollar company, I have worked with many attorneys. As such, it is with privilege that I can recommend Michael Martin as a superb, top notch attorney. Michael has drafted a term sheet for my startup and has guided me in negotiating with investors. He has also drafted a non-compete agreement, inventions assignment, confidentiality agreement and more. His response time is amazing and he is super quick to come up with solutions. And as a rare combination to his gifted skills, he is uniquely personable and a pleasure to work with."
"Mike was instrumental in helping us negotiate and close the disposition of our company through an asset sale. He then guided us through the liquidation process so that the proceeds of the sale are protected against future claims. We look forward to working with him on other projects in the future."
