Michael S Melfi

"Michael was fantastic to work with. He took the time to understand both the legal and practical realities of my business instead of just making redlines in a vacuum. His feedback was thoughtful, pragmatic, and always explained in a way that made it easy to understand the trade-offs behind each recommendation. What I appreciated most was that he looked for solutions, not just problems. He helped strengthen our legal documents while also offering practical guidance on payments, risk management, and launch considerations that went well beyond the contracts themselves. I’d absolutely recommend Michael to any startup founder looking for a knowledgeable attorney who understands how to balance legal protection with building a real product."
