"I just had an amazing experience with one of your attorneys, Orly B, who in addition to being extremely professional, on target, friendly and easy to communicate with via phone, email and the platform, was extremely expeditious in her turnaround time, responding with comments in minutes and made herself available at all hours. Based on when I submitted additional information to her comments and her response with expanded comments, she could only have been working on this at length in the wee hours of the night. Overall, I really just a great experience and thank you so so much for having professionals like Orly on board. I will certainly recommend!"

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.
