His guidance has helped me clear obstacles on the path to success with my startup, Stellar Research. Mr. Blackledge has helped me sharpen numerous legal agreements. In addition, he is well known and well connected in the startup ecosystem; the introductions he has provided have invaluably accelerated the growth of my company.

Great Business lawyer who knows the most underrated skill any professional can have.
I have worked with David Blackledge for nearly 3 years. He has always provided my clients with sound legal advice. Prompt, professional, courteous and to the point. David knows the most underrated skill any professional can have is the ability to listen. He listens to the details of the case and does his due diligence before just offering up a canned solution. I would recommend David Blackledge to anyone needing professional legal advice for their business.
