Gordon had a very thoughtful and methodical approach to working with me and my Board on a mutually agreeable contract.

We highly recommend Gordon for his expertise on not-for-profits, employment law, and mediation.

After assessing my personal needs and wishes, he helped me to complete an estate plan that worked for me. He was happy to explain things that I did not initially understand and he followed up with me in a timely fashion after drafting my initial plan. He continued his follow up with me until he was sure that I was completely satisfied. He was very thorough and enjoyable to work with.
