Specialist who Cares
I spoke with Inna for a consultation for our startup tech company and she was patient, informative, helpful and very generous with her knowledge. We used a big firm in the past and had trouble connecting with them on the specific issues we faced as a small tech company. I really appreciated being able to speak with someone who really "got it". Inna understands the entrepreneur perspective and can provide excellent counsel on traversing the long winding road from incorporation all the way to liquidation. I recommend giving her a call if you are looking for a more personal and startup focused attorney to represent your interests.
