"I really didn't want to make any comments or rate, but Upwork didn't end the contract when I requested and kept billing me for hours. I don't really think I can rate you because you were just reading the whole time, but I had to put something. I hope this does not appear on your profile, but I couldn't allow Upwork to keep logging hours. The "End Contract" just will not go through until I click on stars. Disregard the rating."

"Jairo did an amazing job analyzing my Equity contract. Was extremely thorough in protecting my best interest short term and long term. Would absolutely work with again."

"Mr. Nelson was an excellent client. He was professional and saw the value in hiring the best in order to protect himself. I was happy to be able to protect his interests by going through his Partnership contracts clause by clause and pointing out where he was at risk. I guided him to negotiate better terms that put him in a better position. Partnership contracts are of particular interest to me because they often involve labor law, investors, and stock and I'm able to provide a better understanding of the benefits of resolving disputes through arbitration, mediation, and international courts, if disputes should arise in the future. I highly recommend Mr. Nelson. It was a pleasure working with him."
