CEO - AFITD, Inc.

I hired Melanie to draft business documents for my SaaS (Software as a Service) platform and they were specific to Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Those documents are very important in terms of ensuring that they are properly tailored to my business offering. It was key that these documents give my ...business the protection and risk mitigation it needs when providing a paying service and dealing with user data. Melanie was thorough and the processed was not rushed! We went through several document reviews together and we also held a 2nd demo of my product just to make sure she understood the nuances intimately. Based on that, Melanie was able to draft additional policies that gave us the coverage domestically and internationally to ensure compliance. Melanie really looked at things from the lens of my business to ensure that we will not be in a vulnerable position. I absolutely plan on hiring Melanie again. My only wish was that she could practice all law in my jurisdiction and I could use her services more :)

I am SO GRATEFUL to have found her and while I hope that I won't NEED her services too often, I am so relieved to know that she is there if I need he...r again. Straightforward. Integrous. Effective. Hire her!

We reached out to Melanie to get a contract written for us and she was very responsive and helpful. We gave us a consultation and took care of all the details of the contract. We were able to close the contract with her help since she adjusted her schedule to accommodate our deadline. We really loved... working with her.

My First Business Trademark

This was my first opportunity to work with an attorney in Trademark procedures so I was totally dependent on being in business with someone honest, professional yet personable, straightforward and knowledgeable. Attorney Melanie Amber Cunningham scored 100% in all categories. Would definitely not h...esitate to recommend her and acquire her services again. Thank you, Florenstine W.
