"Michael did an outstanding job helping me with several agreements for my new Amazon services consulting and sales company. His expertise and experience really shine through in the quality of his work, and I found his services to be very affordable, especially considering the high caliber of what he delivered. After completing the agreements, I needed a significant addition based on some feedback I received a day or two later. Michael was incredibly accommodating and made the update without seeking additional payment. As someone starting a business, where expenses often outweigh revenue in the beginning, this was truly appreciated. Thank you, Michael! I look forward to working with you again very soon on our next assignment!"
