Assist with Other Trademark & Copyright Matter
"I chose Yvenne because she took the time to research and learn about my business before she even submitted the quote. This was important to me because I have a unique scenario and little legal experience and needed someone who could also help me understand my situation. This high level of care and attention to detail carried through to all of her work throughout our time together. I appreciate how invested she was in my project. The legal documents she created for me were exactly what I was looking for and I'm extremely pleased with the results. Yvenne is very responsive and easy to communicate with, the quality of her work is extremely high, and she is overall a pleasure to work with. Thank you Yvenne!"
