"As a young agency in an emerging field (behavioral design), our legal needs are not always simple. Over our years working with Lia we've been so appreciative to have her trusted counsel. Her breadth and depth of experience is impressive. The care, innovation, and expertise she applies to solving our unique needs has been so valued. She has always taken the time to thoughtfully, and clearly explain things to our leadership team and works collaboratively with us to take care of our needs. When our needs were minimal, Lia guided us well. And as our needs grew, Lia grew with us. Lia has consistently been absolutely professional, and a great pleasure to work with, throughout handling our company formation and operating agreement, drafting and negotiating independent contractor agreements, trademark applications, and providing general counsel on a variety of topics, large and small. - Robin Krieglstein, CEO, Live Neuron Labs"

"My experience working with Lia has been invaluable, to say the least. Finding the right legal counsel for your business’s needs is not a decision we took lightly, and we could not be more fortunate to have ended that search after finding Lia. Not only is Lia experienced in all of the complexities and unique legal requirements of our business; she also understands the importance of building long-term relationships and has consistently kept that consideration in mind while advising us. Regardless of the circumstances, Lia has a way of entangling the issues we present to her and breaking them down for us, in actionable steps, from the most complex of situations to our day-to-day needs—not an easy task in the construction/contractor industry. Lia’s ability to quickly comprehend our needs, and then clearly communicate what our next steps should be, is a rare thing to find. Outside of transactional work (drafting and negotiating our contracts, registering or protecting our IP, handling minor disputes), Lia has provided us with ongoing legal counsel regarding strategies to avoid potential problems before they happen. She has consistently been there to advise us regarding the laws that may apply to our services, as well as to answer any employment or vendor-related question we’ve had along the way, always with the goal (and result) of positioning our company’s leadership to deal with any situation that we may face going forward. Finding legal counsel like Lia is not easy, and our experience working together has been invaluable. We look forward to working with her for years to come and highly recommend her services to all other businesses owners and entrepreneurs. - West Budreau, CEO, Western Facilities Services Group"
