"Patrick is a highly professional and very responsive attorney. He helped my partner and me incorporate our startup and completed several additional contracts related to the startup.

"I had a great experience working with Patrick. I recommend him to others and will work with him in the future. He set up a Delaware corporation for me, and also reviewed my angel investments documents. He turned around work quickly, and I particularly liked that he would SMS me if he had a question that could be answered with a short or yes/no answer, rather than call or email me."
