Highlights:I am a Chicago-based IP/Internet/Technology/Entertainment law attorney who also handles general business law matters. I am also IP/Technology Of Counsel to the large Boston firm of Perry, Krumsiek, and Jack (http://www.pkjlaw.com). This relationship allows me to expand my services into many other corporate legal arenas such a formation, governance, real estate transactions, taxation, and litigation. I am also a business systems consultant and have extensive experience in both the legal and technical arenas. This duality of skills is one the primary reason my clients use my services, as I can better understand their legal needs than most attorneys.

I am an entrepreneurial individual, owning several businesses. I know what it takes to run a business and keep it running. I have worked with every size of business, from Fortune 100 companies like Pfizer and Aon and international companies like Lloyd's of London, to mid-size companies and of course, startups. I have also done legal work for performers, including well-known R&B artist, Ashanti. My clients span nearly every major industry and niche sectors as well.

I am a firm believer in making sure that my clients receive the best possible service for the best possible price. I'm certainly not the lowest cost Guru you will find here, but I certainly will be the best attorney for your hi-tech legal needs!

Thanks for your time and consideration. Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions, as I am here to serve you!
Work terms:For most matters, I am willing to work fixed bid. However, please understand that there may be some situations such as litigation, negotiations, etc. where fixed bid is not possible as the scope of work cannot be readily determined. If the scope of the work falls more within the purview of one of my partner's, I will work with you to get a quote from them which we will both honor. I will always work with you to get you the best possible price.

For matters under $400, I usually ask that payment be made up front before work will be performed. For matters over this amount, I will accept a 1/2 down, 1/2 on completion. In rare cases, I will work on a payment plan.

All work product is delivered to you in MS Word format. I typically allow one round of modifications as included in the fees paid; however, this is negotiable depending on the project.

I appreciate your business and look forward to the opportunity to serve you!
