Hi. I’m Justin, and I founded this practice five years ago with a vision to make business law understandable. After working for years in Big Law on Fortune 500 deals, I realized that most legal questions aren’t as complicated as people think. Contracts can be written in simple language and business law doesn’t have to cost a fortune. We love what we do because we solve people’s problems everyday. But you’ll love it because we solve them affordably.
So whether you need sophisticated counsel for on-going contract review, or whether you just need to set up an LLC — we’ll solve it for you.
Expert business lawyers. Normal people. (The best combination.)
