About Brett
Biography
The 10 years I've spent on the business side of the table (in positions as a Venture Capitalist, Financial Analyst and launching businesses other than my law practice) give me a unique look at law from the perspetive of founders and entrepreneurs. I approach legal problems with practical solutions.
Whenever possible, I offer clients fixed-fee options to get aligned on what we are doing, why and what it will cost.
If you have any legal needs or questions about what you've been doing and why, give me a call.

Great business attorney for start-ups
