I am the principal attorney at BeaconLegal LLC, a new Boston-based firm focused on providing high-quality legal services to startups, emerging businesses, and entrepreneurs at affordable rates. I started BeaconLegal to provide modernized, online services with a personal, boutique touch that goes beyond the commoditized services available on other legal websites.
