SJ was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when I needed help starting my small business. We had a million questions and she was very patient:). Not only that, she had a lot of contacts to send us to for all of the other tasks involved with setting up our business. I will certainly work with her again when I need some help with personal legal services as well. I highly recommend!
