"As a former executive for a billion dollar company, I have worked with many attorneys. As such, it is with privilege that I can recommend Michael Martin as a superb, top notch attorney. Michael has drafted a term sheet for my startup and has guided me in negotiating with investors. He has also drafted a non-compete agreement, inventions assignment, confidentiality agreement and more. His response time is amazing and he is super quick to come up with solutions. And as a rare combination to his gifted skills, he is uniquely personable and a pleasure to work with."

"Mike was instrumental in helping us negotiate and close the disposition of our company through an asset sale. He then guided us through the liquidation process so that the proceeds of the sale are protected against future claims. We look forward to working with him on other projects in the future."
