"Patrick did a great job! I'm happy with his work."
"Patrick was very communicative, thorough, and efficient while working with us. As a growing start-up with little resources, his services were exactly what we needed."
"Patrick drafted a terms of service, terms of use, and a privacy policy for my new online business. Patrick did a great job in making sure he understood my business model, explaining to me the risks and liabilities I needed to protect myself against, and answering all my questions. His knowledge and experience with internet law was especially useful to me. I found his pricing to be fair and transparent. If you're starting or currently operate an online business, I highly recommend working with Patrick. He is great!"
"Working with Patrick to incorporate my LLC was a great experience. He was knowledgeable, speedy, and answered all of my questions - and honest and transparent about his rate, and which aspects of the process I could do myself. Highly recommended!"
"Patrick was incredibly helpful in drafting a Master Consultant Agreement for me that protected my rights and addressed my intellectual property concerns. It was easy to communicate with him, and his previous experience with startups and technology gives me confidence when I sign new business."
"As a tech startup based out of Brooklyn, NY we wanted to find someone who we could trust and who could help guide us through the enigma of initial paperwork; to this aim Patrick has been invaluable. In addition to helping us set up our initial business documents and organizational agreements, he has done a great job of being available to answer those small clarifying questions. We have really enjoyed working with Patrick and look forward to working with him as we grow."
