Excellent Small Business Lawyer

Jeff recently helped us set up an LLC and investigate other legal matters involved in protecting our small business from liability. He is an absolute pleasure to work with, is honest and upfront about time and cost and clearly explains legal mumbo jumbo in ways that we are able to easily understand. ...He is very knowledgeable about business law and if there are specific issues that fall outside of his expertise he has a large network to consult. I would highly recommend Jeff as an excellent small business lawyer.

Contract Help!

I have a boutique Interior and Event Design Business. I've had a few projects here and there each year, but now that my friends have started to refer my services to more people that I didn't have personal relationships with, I started to worry about the contract language that I had piecemeal togethe...r through NOLO. I knew that it was time to get serious about protecting myself. I thought. "How can I expect new clients to take me seriously if I don't have a serious contract?" Jeff Miller was referred to me by a friend and I couldn't be happier with his services. He reviewed my contract within the time frame agreed upon. He really cared about my business and crafted a contract that suited my needs (not a rushed generic contract), and he was willing to answer all of my million questions to put my mind at ease. His knowledgeable and charismatic nature really helped calm my nerves. I very much appreciated being treated like family, which is the way that I treat my clients. He really knows his stuff. I'd refer him over and over again!
