Client Reviews
"Excellent!"
"Seth has amazing experience and expertise -- from the beginning, he understood our case and position better than anyone. With it being a very rough case and our company being in a difficult position, Seth has been diligent, patient and caring. As we do business, we try to ensure we hit a target for the value we recover alongside our attorney — this is not always easy albeit the hardest thing you’ll ever do as an entrepreneur is negotiate with an attorney (or sell a salesman) — I think this puts us in a difficult position, nonetheless, am hopeful for our outcome."
"Seth's response time was really quick. I wasn't expecting that from a busy attorney."
"Super responsive and helpful. I needed to consult an attorney about an indemnification agreement. Seth reviewed the document quickly and told me specifically what the indemnification agreement covered and didn't cover. I now have the information that I need to understand my liability more clearly."
"Understood my questions and needs; "spot on"! Thank you."
"Seth is Great!"
