What clients are saying:

–We had no idea what we were doing or what all was entailed in opening retail/bar business, but Rachel and her team made it effortless. She was so knowledgeable and guided us through all of the things we didn’t know would need to be done.

–I talked with six attorneys before finding Rachel, and I am thankful every day that we were lucky enough to find such a perfect fit. She understands our vision as well as short and long-term strategies. If you are an entrepreneur, do yourself a favor and call her.

–Rachel and team are the epitome of advocacy. Everything they do proves they have their clients’ best interest in mind. They fight for you to get the best possible outcome in your situation. They’re extremely responsive and great at taking a stressful situation and making it easy to understand and navigate. You want to add this team to yours!

–I have been working with Rachel for four years now on my two Nashville-based businesses, and they have always been beyond reliable, fairly priced, and consummate professionals. They are exceptional in many areas but for those in hospitality, it is second to none. The team is always prompt and thorough in their communication. I know I can call or email them anytime for anything, whether it is a small inquiry or a larger issue.

–As first-time small business owners, we were in dire need of someone who knew the ins and outs of creating an LLC, business licenses, trademark filing, beer permits, and liquor licenses, and navigating the necessary steps through city codes and council requirements… We are open and operating, and we could not, literally, have done it, without the cheerful guidance, patience, and knowledge of Rachel.

–I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you.  From day one you have been super responsive, available and very thorough. In a nutshell, I think you’re awesome! Thank you again!
