Wonderful Experience!

Tristan has been wonderful! He helped me transition from a sole proprietorship to an official California benefit corporation--while I was traveling out of the country! His rates are very reasonable; he even posts them on his website so there are no surprises. Working with Tristan has saved me time... and prevented many headaches. Do yourself a favor and reach out to him TODAY!

Wonderful resource

Tristan Blaine helped me start my own business, something I had never before done in my life. He helped me understand the process of forming a business structure that had been completely foreign to me before. He is a wonderful resource and the fact that he is transparent about his flat and very reaso...nable fees makes him stand out among all other small business lawyers. I would recommend him to anyone.

Excellent Contract Advice, Guidance, and Creation

I just started my freelance writing business this year and am so glad I met Tristan only a few months in. I hired him to write my client contract and to review a contract a prospective client sent to me. For my own client contract, Tristan used samples of my writing to craft a contract that sound...ed like me and was tailored to my business, while still setting forth all the necessary terms and conditions. Not only did he draft up a great contract, but he also took the time to explain everything to me and always encouraged any questions. I'm someone who always needs to know "why" behind everything so the fact that Tristian was so thorough in his explanations was very much appreciated. In fact, because of this contract, I can now explain to my clients the difference between licensing and assigning rights without breaking into a sweat! For the contract review, I was under a tight deadline to sign a contract from a prospective client. Tristan was able to help me out right away, without hesitation. He went through the contract with a fine-tooth comb and highlighted areas to ask to be changed. Tristan also helped me determine what my bargaining chip was with the prospective client. Because of his advice, I had the confidence I needed to successfully negotiate a major change to the contract. I can’t recommend Tristan’s services highly enough. As someone just starting out with my business—and someone who’s heard so many horror stories about not getting paid—I know how important it is to make sure a contract is working in my favor. If you’re looking to get paid the money you deserve and set up crystal clear terms with your clients, then you need to call Tristan today—worth every penny!!
