I consulted with Kate at SGC who helped me set up my medical practice’s professional corporation. She is very knowledgeable, efficient, and made things very easy! I’d highly recommend!

As a first time business owner, I had very little knowledge on how to get my company up and running in a legal manner. Kate did a fantastic job walking me through the steps and took care of all the back-end paperwork, which saved me a ton of time to focus on the other important aspects of starting a business. Her prices are also competitive and a great value. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Santon General Counsel for your business legal needs!

I never knew that it was actually possible to trust an attorney until I met Kate. She took the time to explain every step of forming my corporation and answered every single question that I had. She is extremely knowledgeable and makes sure that every single aspect of your business is fully covered. She is just an absolute pleasure to work with!

Kate was referred to me by my business coach and a previous one of her clients, and came highly recommended. Now I see why! She is extremely knowledgeable, honest, responsive, professional, and efficient. It was a pleasure doing business with her and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is starting up a business for the first time. She takes the time to explain things and "dumb" it down to people like me who knew next to nothing about the process. Thank you Kate!

We engaged Kate to help establish the legal structure for our climate startup. She provided great advice on the most beneficial corporate structure (which ended up saving us thousands of dollars on our taxes this year), and set up the entity quickly and efficiently. She has also provided ongoing support on a variety of other issues in the business. She is extremely responsive, personable, and professional and we trust her to give us the best possible advice and highest quality service. I have recommended her to multiple colleagues, who have also used her and been very happy with the service they have received. I feel extremely lucky to have found Kate and highly recommend her to any potential client.

I was so concerned regarding some employment contracts. Katherine answered all my questions and helped me understand the law without rushing me. She is also super friendly and her attitude is very pleasant. I high recommend her.

Kate helped me incorporate my business and was very responsive, easy to work with, helped to guide me through everything, and was very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend her!

I was connected to Kate through a mutual friend for legal services that my Corp. was in need of. She was very knowledgeable during our initial consultation. After that, as we moved forward trough the process (certifying our corporation as a women-owned-small-business with the SBA) she was 100% efficient with filing and communicating and kept everything very clear and straightforward for me. We have already worked together on a 2nd project (she helped me create an LLC for real estate holding) and that whole process was also just as easy. It is a major relief to have Kate in my corner and while she handles everything so beautifully, I can relax worry-free. By hiring the right attorney, I've been able to make moves for my business that I might have been too intimidated or inexperienced to make on my own. Thank you Kate & SGC!

Before Kate, each legal issue was a long, difficult process for us. Since we work with Kate everything became easier and quicker. I can't imagine how did we do without Kate before.

With Kate, everything comes down to her clients! That is what truly matters most to her, over anything else. Small businesses are the backbone of the economy and often times, these small businesses are the innovators and the creators with a dream. Kate holds onto that very dream and makes sure all aspects of that dream are protected. That is the partnership you need as a small business owner to get your dream off the ground. It is the passion in Kate that truly allows her to stand out and make her the perfect partner for you and your business!
