Consulting Agreement Review

Zvi Raskin

"Zvi was great. HIs very knowledgeable in contract law around consulting and confidentiality agreements. His experience with IP and tech industry is very helpful if you are in those arenas. HIs approach is very personable making him very easy to work with. A little loose with deadlines. Like his flat fee structure with the understanding that he would see the matter through and not constantly adding hours for every revision and rebuttal to a counterparty revision. I will use him again."

Matthew Riordan

"Mr. Riordan did not provide the services he promised. The job I posted was to sign a document and he promised to deliver that. What he delivered was a letter stating that he can not sign the document because he is does not practice law in California. The money that I paid him was a complete waste and feel misled. I communicated that with him and asked for a refund but of course he denied it."
