"Solid drafting work on a B2B paid services agreement with a nuanced surcharge model. Daehoon delivered on time across two rounds, cited actual Illinois case law where relevant, and proactively flagged edge cases I hadn't specifically asked about. His initial bid was the sharpest of the seven I received — he clearly read the parameters carefully. One note for future buyers: scope discipline runs both ways with him. He'll flag scope creep quickly and quote a supplemental fee (in my case $600 on a $1,200 base) for revisions beyond the follow-up envelope. That's fair and clearly communicated, but budget for it if you expect iteration. Would hire again for drafting work where scope is well-defined upfront."

In my thirteen years of practice, I've had the opportunity to argue cases in state, federal, and tribal courts; in subjects as diverse as gaming, land tenure, water rights, treaty rights, finance, employment, criminal defense, conflict of laws, and tort (among others). But the real value I brought my clients came through avoiding litigation, fostering relationships, and developing long-term strategies.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Ashley. She immediately understood what my needs were in terms of drafting a contract. The entire process – from start to finish – was over in the blink of an eye, and Ashley delivered the exact contract that I needed to ensure that my interests were protected.
