The Best! Smart, Diligent and Not Afraid!

I hired Cedric to defend myself and my company for a frivolous discrimination/wrongful termination lawsuit. He was able to kick the case on the first pleading! Got me out from under what would have been a years long drawn out. Cedric was clearly smarter than opposing council. They didn't know how... to properly please the case and were not aware how they were being duped by their own client. I love Cedric. You will too!

Cedric is a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and helpful attorney.

I run an autobody shop in California and have used Cedric to advise on employment law, provide my business with an employment handbook, contracts, and letters. He also dealt with a trademark dispute for my business and filed a trademark for us. He's a great lawyer to have worked and will work wit...h! Great communication, fast paced, great listener and most importantly trustworthy! Highly recommended!

Cedric is the best! so Helpful! Hire this man!

I hired Cedric to review and revise contracts for my company. Cedric was such a pleasure to work with! He is exactly what we were looking for; very knowledgeable on contracts and other specific issues that he researched for us. He was also very responsive and prompt, which is greatly appreciated. ...I would definitely work with him again!

Great contract law attorney

I hired Cedric off Upwork for him to draft an independent contractor agreement for my business and to provide consultations regarding independent contractor and employee issues. Cedric was extremely responsive, provided me with a very quick turnaround, and was incredibly easy to work with. I appre...ciate that he went back to make an additional minor revision upon my request, and did so very quickly. I plan on working with him again and I would highly recommend him for contract and employment law.

He outsourced my startup documents then charged triple to fix his errors

I hired Cedric on Upwork to draft some startup documents. When I received them (3 days later than promised) they were riddled with errors that proved he was either dangerously incompetent or was outsourcing my legal documents to a foreign virtual assistant with a low level of comprehension of the Eng...lish written word - let alone contracts. After sending him a long list of errors, misspellings and someone else’s name not even involved in my agreement, Cedric charged me TRIPLE the initial agreed upon cost to fix the errors his assistant made. Then blocked me when I inquired about the charges.
