Business Clients:

“Erik has offered us a variety of attorney services. He has always offered great service with both our legal requirements and understanding how these fit into our overall business strategy..” – Josh Lipton, Owner of Wandertec and Bikeshop Hub

“Erik has done great work for us on short notice providing us with legal assistance and contract drafting and negotiation when we needed it. It is great to be able to call him whenever we need assistance with business and legal decisions. Having a lawyer that knows our business well has given us a competitive edge when negotiating commercial deals.” – Ben Robinson, Owner of Chicago Style SEO and Rinzai Designs

“Erik has acted as my company’s attorney since the nearly the very beginning and been instrumental in our success. He was not involved in the initial structuring of the company, but came in afterwards, reviewed our documents and found where potential problems and exposure to risk were. He worked to explain everything to us clearly and then drafted the documents to “fix” the problems.

As we have grown, Erik has worked hard to make sure that everything from our contracts to the privacy policy on our website do the utmost for us.

Recently he was extremely important and instrumental in helping us with complicated contract negotiation; not only did he save the deal by finding ways to structure the contract in ways the other side found agreeable, but he made it so that we actually had less risk exposure than when we started negotiations. His negotiation style, substance, and demeanor was truly amazing and his counsel was worth every cent.” – Rod Holmes of Chicago Style SEO

He’s an invaluable lawyer who’s helped startups like mine with a wide range of tricky issues, ranging from client contracts to restructuring our business, to dealing with equity and potential funding issues.

He’s provided us keen insight and perspective by educating us with a wealth of information and references on every single issue.
