Client Reviews
"Scott was prompt & knowledgable. His attention to detail is highly appreciated, and did not go unnoticed. I will be using his services in the future."
"Scott went above and beyond in helping me negotiate a consulting agreement with a corporate client. He provided the language I needed to improve several clauses in the draft contract. He also provided detailed comments to support his recommendations, along with other helpful advice. I'd highly recommend Scott Stram for legal work through Upcounsel."
"Very happy with Scott's service."
"Scott is a rock star. He worked through reviewing and cleaning up my reseller and client service agreement contracts efficiently and thoroughly. As a first time business owner, I really appreciated his willingness and clarity of explaining things to me."
"Best experience with an attorney that I have had for two primary reasons: (1) I got exactly the product I want (and had a lot of particulars), and (2) brief turnaround times were very helpful"
"Scott was knowledgeable, easy to work with and delivered a great form of contract I'm excited to put to use."
