"Working with Brandon was a great experience. I look forward to working with him again in the future."
"Brandon delivered solid work across multiple rounds of a Business Associate Agreement negotiation with a contractor marketplace. The engagement spanned an initial federal HIPAA framework drafting, multiple rounds of redlining and negotiation, and a final federal-consistency review of state-law additions delivered by separately engaged Illinois counsel. What stood out: when the matter required Illinois-specific expertise outside his bar admissions (DC and MD), Brandon was direct and honest about it. He confirmed the gap, recommended local counsel, and accepted a clean handoff back when Illinois additions were ready for federal review. That kind of intellectual honesty about scope limitations is rare and valuable — a less scrupulous attorney would have stretched the engagement to cover state matters they weren't qualified to opine on. His final memo confirming alignment with 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164 was the kind of artifact that supports both internal compliance defense and counterparty negotiation. The structural cleanups (signature block parallelism, dynamic pagination, numbering corrections, indemnification carve-out from the liability cap) all materially improved the document. Communication was professional throughout. Reasonable rates for the federal HIPAA depth provided. Would engage again — Brandon is now my go-to for federal HIPAA matters as my client base grows. Highly recommended for healthcare entities needing federal HIPAA / HITECH expertise, multi-jurisdiction matters where federal substance dominates, or clients who value direct, honest scope communication."
"Easy to work with and thorough."
"Brandon was very helpful in reviewing and fine-tuning our co-founder startup documents. We feel set up for success moving forward! Thanks so much."
"Timely and professional."
"Very responsive and pragmatic. Brandon reviewed my documents thoroughly and gave clear, actionable guidance on employment/IP/conflict issues without overcomplicating things. I left with much more clarity and confidence on next steps."
