WHAT SAY MY CLIENTS:

  • I would definitely recommend Jamii.
         I started my own wellness business in 2013, but never began the process to become an LLC. I was so busy with family life, serving at church, working a full-time job, and working the business, that I didn't feel like adding one more thing (more…)
    Bell Yoga & Wellness
  • Stellar Realty & Property Management.
         I’ve owned my own business for over 10 years and recently started a new one.  Attorney Smith provided me with an LLC Operating Agreement for my new business - Virtual Intelligence Assistant Services.  Not only did she provide the documents I needed for my LLC, she also created a Client Services Agreement and On-Boarding process that has provided the protection I need, while providing a framework for delivering excellent customer service.  Last and certainly not least, Attorney Smith provided me a comprehensive estate plan for me that not only protects and provides for my family.  It also addresses how my businesses are to be handled if something happens to me.  I couldn’t be happier with the comprehensive and thorough services I received.
