<p style="text-align: left;">&ldquo;Johanna provided timely advice on establishing my new firm and covered, in one day, issues that would have taken weeks, or even months, to cover on my own.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">She provided time and money saving value as I charted into independent practice, the nuts and bolts of which my legal training did not prepare me for. She helped me understand my potential clients and define my services, prepare budgets and learn how to manage cash-flow.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Johanna was particularly helpful in advising on relationships with strategic partners and contractors. I recommend her expertise and service to anyone who is making THE LEAP and needs strategic advice in order to do it in an efficient and effective way.&rdquo;</p>
