- I recommend Andrew Gale.
Andy was referred to me through the Chapman University entrepreneurship incubator program. Though I graduated from Chapman two years ago, I re-joined the incubator program and am involved as an alumnus based out of NYC, where I live and where I am starting my business. I decided to get involved again because I knew that through Chapman, I’d get introductions to great resources, and in particular was seeking legal advice for early-stage startup structure.
Andy offered much more than just legal advice. He listened to my needs, identified areas of my business model that needed to most attention/focus, and helped me create a list of immediate next steps/action items from a lean startup approach. I thought that I’d only get about 15-30 min of Andy’s time, but we spent an hour on the phone together, during which I had Andy’s undivided attention. I expected that the conversation would be pretty baseline, just covering my needs from a legal perspective (filing as a business, contracts, etc) but instead, Andy took the time to dive deep: to understand my business model, resources, and any pain points where he could help. He provided insightful advice coming not only from a legal standpoint but with extremely acute business awareness and with my available resources and necessity for a lean approach in mind. His experience with early-stage startups is evident, and his advice is on-point and helpful. I’ve had so much advice thrown my way from other entrepreneurs, angel investors, friends with accounting or finance backgrounds, etc… talking with Andy cut through the noise and identified a clear road that is right for my needs, for my business.
I left the call feeling like I had not only a lawyer whose services I could use to draft contracts at various stages of my business but a mentor/partner who really cared about watching my business grow and had the legal/business insight to advise me as I took the next steps in making it a reality.
I will 100% be using Andy’s services as I move forward in establishing and growing my business, and I would 100% recommend Andy, whether you are in Orange Country or across the country.
