Rhea was thorough in her review - pointing out details and their implications, all along providing explanations that were clear and informative. She clearly had mastery of the area of legal area. Additionally, she was responsive to all of my questions in a timely and complete manner. Further, her attitude made it clear that she has a passion for her work and made it fun for me to work with her!""

Rhea is very comfortable dealing with complex technologies and business issues. She is diligent, detail and service-oriented, but also always keeps the big picture in mind. She has been a great partner for us and I highly recommend her."
