Draft Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement
"Brandon drafted a full legal document suite for our startup — an IP and Feedback Assignment Agreement, a Data Processing Addendum, and a Beta Tester Agreement and Liability Waiver — and the quality stood out. The three documents were clearly built to work together rather than as separate assignments: consistent defined terms, a clean order-of-precedence structure so it's obvious which agreement controls when two of them touch the same topic, and matching cross-references throughout instead of the small inconsistencies that usually creep in across a multi-document set. He was also genuinely responsive to specifics rather than working off a template. Earlier concerns we'd raised — international beta testers and moral rights handling, the right notice address, folding data-processing terms in properly, keeping references to our live Terms and Privacy Policy current — all showed up addressed in the drafts without us having to chase them down again. Communication throughout was clear and properly paced for a non-lawyer founder working through this for the first time. Would work with him again and recommend him for startups that need their legal documents to actually hold together as a set, not just individually."

Software IP and Contractor Dispute
"Alexis was very helpful in handling a complex contractual and intellectual property dispute. She communicated clearly, explained the available options and their practical consequences, and kept the strategy focused and proportionate rather than escalating the matter unnecessarily. I especially appreciated her pragmatic approach, careful drafting, and transparency regarding risks and potential legal costs. I would be comfortable working with her again and would recommend her to others."

Review Severance Agreement- NY State
"I had an excellent experience working with this Maria. From our first conversation, she were incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed, and she made sure I understood my options before making any decisions. Her guidance and negotiation strategy helped me achieve a meaningful improvement and I truly appreciated having someone in my corner throughout the process. She was professional, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about reaching the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Maria to anyone navigating an employment matter. Having an experienced advocate made all the difference, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again."
