Client Reviews
"Honestly did not know what to expect when I first reached out to Orlando. We had been burned by a previous attorney who gave us vague advice and overcharged for it. Orlando was the complete opposite. From our very first call he was direct, organized, and clearly knew exactly what he was talking about. We needed a shareholder agreement that could hold up if things ever got messy between partners and he delivered exactly that. Every scenario we were worried about was addressed. Voting rights, buyout provisions, non-compete clauses, everything was covered in plain language that all of our stakeholders could actually read and understand. Three months later we brought in a new investor and the agreement held up perfectly during due diligence. That alone told us everything we needed to know about the quality of his work. Orlando is the real deal and we are lucky to have found him."
"As our business grew we started bringing on independent contractors and quickly realized we needed proper agreements in place to protect both sides. Orlando drafted clear and thorough contractor agreements that covered scope of work, payment terms, confidentiality, intellectual property ownership, and termination conditions. He made sure everything was legally sound and compliant with current standards and took the time to explain each section so we actually understood what we were signing. His turnaround was fast, his communication was excellent, and he never made us feel rushed or like just another client. For any business owner building a team, having the right agreements in place from the start is critical and Orlando makes that process simple and stress free."
"Starting a new business with partners can get complicated fast, especially when it comes to the legal structure. Orlando helped us draft a comprehensive LLC operating agreement that covered everything including ownership percentages, decision making authority, profit distributions, and what happens if a partner wants to exit. He did not use a generic template and fill in our names. He actually listened to how we planned to run the business and tailored the document around our specific goals and concerns. Every partner left the process feeling informed and confident. If you are forming a business and want to protect yourself and your partners from future disputes, Orlando is exactly who you want in your corner from day one."
"We were about to sign a commercial lease for our new office space and wanted a legal eye on it before committing. Orlando reviewed the entire agreement thoroughly and flagged several clauses that were heavily skewed in the landlord’s favor. Things we never would have caught on our own. He did not just point out the problems but actually helped us renegotiate better terms and explained why each change mattered for our long term protection. The whole process felt collaborative rather than transactional. If you are a small business owner about to sign any kind of lease or contract, do yourself a favor and have Orlando look at it first. It could save you a lot of headaches and money down the road."
