Client Reviews
"Brandon is very knowledgeable in his field. I can't overstate how much he helped me. He helped us with our legal documents for a startup we are launching, and the way he reviewed the regulations and laws regarding insurance across multiple states was fascinating. I hope that as our platform grows, we can use his services more, or maybe we get lucky and become big enough to partner with him as our sole legal counsel. Thank you"
"I hired Brandon to draft a Master Services Agreement for my consulting practice. The initial draft was thorough and well-structured. When I came back with a detailed list of 20 revision requests, Brandon worked through them methodically and reconciled all the downstream references so the document stayed internally consistent. He also flagged and incorporated several enhancements I had not requested but that improved my position as the service provider. On one provision where I had a question about a stylistic choice, his explanation walked through the underlying UCC conspicuousness requirement and case law in clear terms, which helped me understand not just what the document said but why the language mattered. I would hire Brandon again without hesitation for future contract work and any indemnification negotiations that come up with future clients."
"Brandon was thoughtful, responsive, and very practical throughout the engagement. He took the time to understand the actual product and platform structure rather than forcing generic boilerplate onto the business. The review was detailed, actionable, and clearly grounded in real startup/platform experience, particularly around privacy, moderation, liability, and global launch considerations. Turnaround was fast, communication was clear, and the final documents felt significantly stronger while still aligned with the product vision. Highly recommend."
"Very fast turnaround"
"Brandon was fantastic and very thorough."
"Brandon did a fantastic job! I asked him to review and make adjustments to a Privacy policy, Terms of Service, and Risk Disclosure for a startup fintech Saas product. Brandon addressed every "for counsel review" flag I had and added several other best-practice provisions. He completed the work in a very timely manner as well. Highly recommend."
