I worked with James Forrest earlier this year while incorporating my company as an LLC in North Carolina. Straight away, I was impressed with James's professionalism and responsiveness. He was informative and helped me with each step, managing my expectations along the way. I was particularly impressed by the level of consideration and advice he had for me and my business, and his ability to customize a set of contract templates for me to use in my business development. He listened to the concerns I had about what I perceived as my increasing risk resulting from the growth of my business. He validated these concerns in some places, alleviated them in others, and really did a great job of giving me what I see as appropriate risk coverage in the contracts I now use with my own clients. I have built a great level of trust in James, and I recommend him to anyone in my network.
