Very knowledgeable and concise.
David explained my options in a very clear and concise way. When I did not understand something, he explained it so that it was easy to understand. He is clearly very knowledgeable.

Steered me in a positive direction in an awfully negative world...
Attorney Brezina was kind enough to take the time to answer a question I had regarding copyright concerns if I were to seek permission from the owner of lyrics to use their material for a business idea I have. I did not use the exact words or maybe the correct words to explain what I was truly asking and still Attorney Brezina was able to identify my true question. The task I had described that I will attempt to complete on my own is a bit daunting for an inexperienced researcher and creator of legal documentation yet Attorney Brezina answered in simple terminology that I am able to easily understand and has given me confidence that I can do this!! Thank you sir, and please accept this note as a documented promise on the only 'legal' I have lived - my word - that if I am ever able to get this business plan going I will be sending you one of the first products I get made, legally. Don't get nervous, lol, it's only a tee shirt! Stay awesome!!
