“Attorney Trocki and Attorney Monique Paquin are consistently professional, clear, direct and responsive. Within 24 hours from my initial request, I had everything in place to establish my LLC - including an EIN number, Sec of State papers etc. Monique also alerted me to fraudulent efforts directed at newly established companies in a timely way allowing me to navigate effectively. They are skilled, knowledgeable and also a pleasure to work with.”
