Testimonials
”We engaged Jenny Lee for regulatory litigation defense. A federal body was initiating enforcement proceedings and we needed a strong attorney who understood the landscape and was able to defend us from a potentially multi-million dollar suit. We felt Jenny understood us and our plight. It was like she was in the trenches with us. The quality of the legal responses and arguments made were impeccable. It was a 3-year exercise and eventually the federal watchdog decided not to proceed. The narrative and storytelling nature of her writing kept solidifying our case. I felt we would have a meeting to discuss strategy and then I’d get a document that actually said it far better. Superb collaboration and very strategic. We were and continue to be very impressed.

”The firm's services were fantastic. Jenny is the epitome of the ideal lawyer for founders. She made a concerted effort to deeply grasp our business model because she genuinely cared. Her focus wasn't on racking up legal fees; she was sincerely invested in our business's success. With her blend of tough yet compassionate questioning, she inspired us throughout our collaboration. Through several rigorous sessions facilitated by Jenny, we arrived at a unique solution that surpassed our initial expectations. She wasn't simply a lawyer; she became an integral part of the team that significantly contributed to crafting our go-to-market strategy. I can't recall any other lawyer ever fulfilling such a role.

”Jenny Lee is extremely knowledgeable of the CFPB and regulatory environment. Unlike attorneys that are familiar with the regulations, she has a hands-on perspective. Extremely happy with the result. Jenny Lee is able to support the Team in day-in, day-out responses but more importantly overall strategy. She always listens to positions that she then crafts into deft formal responses. I would absolutely recommend Jenny. A person would not get better legal assistance anywhere else.
