Here are their reviews

Jai Belagur Business owner

As a technology services business I had a need for an attorney who could help me with some difficult contract agreements I had to negotiate to win business. Being a startup I was looking for a knowledgeable attorney who was willing to personally work on my contracts at a cost I could afford as a startup. I was glad I found Danya Shakfeh, who exceeded my expectations in the quality and timeliness of work she delivered while patiently educating me on the contract nuances which came in extremely handy while negotiating the contracts with my clients. Now I can sleep well knowing that my business is not exposed to undue risks while knowing that affordable and trustworthy help is just a phone call away as I grow my business. Danya is an extremely organized attorney who practices her profession with a high sense of integrity and works flexibly to deliver quality service you would expect from a qualified attorney.

Georgina Fofana, Chicago Business Owner

I truly appreciate Attorney Shakfeh for taking the time to help me through the process of getting the documents I needed prepared for my business. As a new small business owner, it was imperative that I found the right person who would not only type something and send it to me, but also sit me down and explain what's in the document and even made recommendations as to where to go next. Whether you're just starting out or have been doing this forever, she's the one to go if you need legal help for you business!
