"Great to work with and super flexible."
"Stacy was professional, responsive, and very thorough throughout the process. She helped me with the formation of my company and prepared the key agreements needed to support the business as it grows. She also took the time to answer my questions carefully, explain the practical use of each document.. I appreciated her attention to detail and would be happy to work with her again."
"Great lawyer, and kind enough to allow a project to be paid in 2 invoices over time!"
"This is the second time I have hired Stacy and it was a great experience yet again. I initially hired Stacy over a year ago to create documents and contract for my newly formed business. She delivered the documents on time, within the estimated hours, and the contracts included more than I even thought to ask for. When I needed those same contracts edited for a specific project, hiring Stacy was a no brainer. She is knowledgable and talks through your legal needs to ensure that your intent is fully captured. Stacy is the lawyer I will contact for all my contracts moving forward."
