"Daron was excellent for helping with my prenup! He was incredibly responsive and worked with me when we had to make last minute changes to our plan due to the other party’s lawyers making some big mistakes, which Daron was able to correct! He was also great about explaining the process in simplified terms that I could understand."

"5/5. Thorough, responsive, and precise. I hired Paul to review the legal side of a consumer app launch: terms of service, privacy policy, consent flows and outbound messaging compliance. He went well beyond reviewing documents. His biggest strength is attention to detail. He read our product the way it actually works, not the way we described it, and caught issues I would never have found myself: a jurisdiction question hidden inside a phone-number format, a consent step that was broader than it needed to be, and message wording that promised more than the system did. When facts changed, he re-checked the current law and revised his own earlier conclusions, rather than defending them. He was also remarkably responsive. Each revision came back quickly, reflected everything I had sent, and ended with a clear list of what was done and what remained. His final package gave me exactly what I needed to launch: finished documents, a short list of release conditions, and the reasoning behind each one. I'd hire him again without hesitation."

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

View Trustpilot Review

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
