Fantastic Support for Business Contracts

We were referred to Martin by our previous attorney, who shifted her practice to focus on estate planning. Our business was in need of someone to help draft some contracts for new employees and contractors. Martin was great to work with, he was clear about cost and timelines, and the contracts were d...elivered timely. He was also very collaborative to ensure specific considerations were included in the contracts, so we felt it was custom to our needs, not a boilerplate document. I wouldn't hesistate to work with him again.

Work with Martin Kreshon Today!

Martin provided a great deal of extra value during our initial consultation as I interviewed other area attorneys. His manner and knowledge put me at ease right away. I hired him to legally form my business in WA State, including all business licenses and company records needed for my files, and obta...ined my EIN from the IRS. It was so easy. I will definitely work with him again on contracts and other legal needs going forward.

Assistance with Independent Contractor Agreement

Martin helped me draft an independent contractor agreement for my counseling practice. He was personable, responsive, and thorough. Not only did he ensure the contract met all compliance requirements, but he also took the time to clearly explain the legal reasoning behind each element. I felt informe...d and confident throughout the process.
