Client Reviews
"Super fast turnaround & response times. 2 days from initial chat to completion. All work was very high quality and much more than I thought I needed (i.e., appreciated his comprehensiveness to go above and beyond what was explicitly asked). Also made recommendations and general legal advice that is always appreciated when you're a small business owner!"
