    Great for corporate/startup law

    Posted by

    Our startup has been using Todd and the folks at Gallinger Law for all our corporate legal needs for the last few years, and we couldn't recommend them more highly. Todd is thoughtful, diligent, and always very reasonable with billing. If you have a small to medium sized company and need legal help, give Gallinger Law a try (the first consultation is free according to their website).

    I had an issue about two plus years ago where my ex-partner didn't want do any work in the company and yet was demanding 50%. I called on Mr. Gallinger, he handled it without having to go to court, and yet helped me expel him from the company. To me that was minimum cost money wise as well as avoided all headaches.
