Client Reviews
"Drew was of great help and managed to get all my affairs done very professionally and efficiently."
"Was very responsive and straightforward."
"Drew is an AMAZING lawyer! He is very responsive, smart, experienced, friendly, and goes above and beyond the scope of the job to deliver the best results. In my case, he did verify multiple solutions to resolve my startup incorporation issue and managed to find excellent solutions that many other lawyers couldn't suggest! Drew always tries to make it easier for me to sign documents or understand any legal terms related to my job. Additionally, he was very helpful in answering some questions I had that are not related to the job he was handling. I would always work with Drew on any legal job in the future!"
