Emily has been such an amazing part of my career journey. She is a reliable resource who puts 110% in everything she does.

C-Suite Executive Client
Small Business Owner
I reached out to Emily for guidance with my family's small business. We had some general questions and needed to file a few forms including a DBA. I felt overwhelmed trying to figure it out all on my own. What I loved most about Emily was that she didn't make me feel inadequate or talk over my head. She was very straightforward and used the right language to help me understand the process. I quickly had the tools needed to move forward. I'll be using Emily for all my legal needs moving forward!

Karen, Small Business Owner
Supportive & Knowledgeable
Emily has been very clear and communicative about what services she can help me with as I set up my business as well as understanding that as a new and small business owner, I need to be really mindful of my budget. So she worked with me to figure out what was most important to me to hire her for as well as what would be legally responsible to do. I did not feel like she nickel and dimed me as I feared a lawyer would do but was understanding and happy to clarify things I had questions with.
Michele, Small Business Owner
