"Great and knowledgeable. Thanks, Scott!"
"A great experience."
"Scott is extremely knowledgeable and helpful"
"My business partner and I approached Scott to prepare an Operational Agreement and Subscription Agreement for our firm. Scott understood our needs to a great depth by prompting us with the right set of questions. Going into this, we had a simplistic view of the agreement. In several areas of OA and SA, Scott played out some future scenarios and influenced on including terms that strengthen firms ability to operate well. We were impressed with his recommendations. After the initial draft, we had plenty of questions and Scott patiently clarified them to us. In the end, our needs are well met and we are happy with the outcome. Scott is a very good attorney to work with."

"Scott has been with me from concept to reality. Lonestar Life Sciences and all of the medical, agricultural and technology subsidiaries was not an easy structure to figure out, but luckily Scott has been highly involved in the development as we progressed over the past few years. Usually attorneys have a bad reputation of being difficult to work with, but not that case here. Scott has been our "go to" guy for both simple or complicated business consultation. I would recommend him to anyone in an experienced business or just starting one."
