What People Say
Client Reviews
Personable and Professional
Gus was by far one of the most personable and professional lawyers I’ve spoken with. I needed to seek out legal advice to a) see if I had legal grounds to make a claim and b) how to navigate and pursue the claim if so. Gus listened with empathy and gave super clear, honest advice on how to proceed with a very difficult business owner. If another situation arises where Gus’ services are needed, I will 100% engage Gus as trust has been established by the character that he displayed in our first call.

Expert Counsel
Not only is Gus a skilled and thoughtful lawyer, but he also has the rare ability to communicate in a way that’s actionable and free of legal jargon – plus he’s an all-around great guy to boot. I am grateful for his expert counsel and look forward to continuing to work with him in the future.

I definitely recommend him
My partner and I reached out to Gus for a very small scale business investment and a very basic knowledge of the legal due diligence requirements. He responded to our inquiry the same day, spent a very reasonable amount of time reviewing the documentation we provided, and took the time to explain complex matters in very simple terms to us, for some of that time he didn’t even charge us. We learned a lot from our interaction with Gus. I recommend him, and the above and beyond service he provides to his clients to anyone needing business legal counsel.
