"Sunnita was very prompt with clear revisions showing what needed to be updated and explaining why. Also, she made sure my documents weren't generalized, but fit Georgia's laws and are specific enough to hold up in court. All of my questions were answered and she stayed in communication with the message feature. I really appreciated that she didn't try to overcharge me for her service. I'll use her for my projects going forward, great experience."

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.

View Trustpilot Review

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.
