Posted by Devin | October 19, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Corporate & Incorporation

Great business attorney for startup companies

Justin helped me and my co-founders form a startup tech company. He helped us form the company, raise seed capital, prepare an equity incentive plan for our key employees, build scalable SaaS service agreements, and ultimately complete a Series A VC round. He was very knowledgeable throughout the... process and mindful of our timeline, costs and expectations. We continue to work with him, and refer others to him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
