"Tim has been very helpful for everything. What I really liked is that he set up a zoom call with me and he explained everything in detail. He was also the only lawyer that was very honest on what actually I really need and what is "good to have" but not necessary at the moment. I liked his honesty and the fact that he completed all the contracts in a timely manner. I would work with Tim on different contracts in future and I recommend him."
