"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!"

"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."
