Employment Contract

I consulted with Deven on my employment contract and non compete agreements during contract negotiations. It was the first time I was negotiating an employment contract and had Deven review it for me as my attorney. He was thorough and pointed out specific areas within the contract that I could ne...gotiate and recommended the questions I needed to ask to ensure the contract was a win win by explaining my rights and potential needs of the organization I was negotiating with. As I was new to this, he was patient with me and answered all my questions to my satisfaction.

Excellent Service, Knowledgeable and Responsive!

We have had Deven as our legal representative for the last 2.5 years. He has been a pleasure to work with. With a small business you worry about all the legalese. Deven has gone above and beyond in explaining the nuances, walking us through each section and recommending the approach. He is extrem...ely responsive and is thorough in his approach. From LLC formation, to contract negotiations and employee agreements, we have been able to use his help for all our legal needs.
