"Scott is super easy to work with and added great value to the document being drafted. I would definitely work with him again."
"I had a Publishing Agreement that I wanted to have reviewed. Scott communicated clearly and concisely with me. His response time was impeccable. He was very knowledgeable and had a good deal of experience dealing with the same kind of Agreement that I had him review."
