Excellent Attention to Detail

I was very happy with Jeff's contract services and consulting! As I was interviewing multiple law firms to work with, Jeff immediately stood out from all the rest because he actually took the time to understand my need and my use case from the very beginning. He asked insightful questions and uncover...ed areas that I hadn't even thought of. He was able to tailor a contract that worked perfectly for my small business and was spot-on with the details. Jeff went above and beyond to help my small business and I am grateful for his professionalism and expertise. I'd recommend Jeff to any business owner.

Opened Company & Negotiated Purchase Agreement

Jeffrey has done several things for me: *Formed my Partnership LLC *Negotiated Purchase Agreement/Wrote Purchase Agreement *Wrote Selling Purchase Agreement It's been a crazy year for me but Jeffrey really helped me succeed. I paid Jeffrey to form my Partnership LLC for me and it was very smooth.... It was worth peace of mind to know we had all our ducks in a row and what steps were needed for a very fair price. Another family member decided to do Swift Filings and ended up missing licenses. My partner and I were having issues and had to have Jeffrey negotiate the purchase agreement (which was not easy). He let me know what my options were and helped me save thousands of dollars! It was nice to be able to ask him all the questions I had during a very stressful time. I recommend him to anyone starting a business, negotiating needs and for contracts. He is professional, responsive and priced fairly. Thank you Jeff!

Assistance with overbearing broker

Jeff worked with us to stratigize how best to handle a corporate broker who had become more focused on obtaining fees than actually trying to help us procure a good buyer for the company. His wisdom and restraint allowed us to continue on the process in the event that a good buyer might come along, ...and also contain the broker such that when we disengaged, we were not charged any surprise fees.

Terms of Use document for blog

Jeff provided great help in crafting a Terms of Use document for my small business. He understood the use cases and was very responsive throughout the engagement.

Helpful advice and discernment in handling business agreements

In starting my own business, I've had a lot of documents to review that I don't have the expertise. I initially hired Jeff to review an NDA. Jeff provided prompt feedback to my questions using the comment features in MS Word, which I found very helpful. He also did a 1:1 call to review the docume...nt. Importantly, he also provided guidance to help me when reviewing similar documents in the future as well as answering tangential business law questions. I've since hired him to help in some of the other legal business paperwork. His advice on contracts has been very useful to help discern when to decline a contract. It's difficult to say 'no' to a contract early in a business venture. However, I've found myself better off for sticking with his advice and declining work when the other party is not willing to address the concerns he raised.
