Posted by Bob | November 03, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Corporate & Incorporation

An excellent guide from startup through growth

Gary guided the corporate formation for both of our startup cosmetics ventures. We've grown fast, and Gary has kept up the pace either providing counsel directly, or by quickly finding the best specialist resources within his firm. No matter what issues confront us - IP, fraud, digital crisis respons...e, executive employment agreements, option plan setup, real estate leases, IP licensing - we feel confident that Gary will help us navigate with confidence that we've got the best legal advise possible.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
