My Services
My Services
I provide strategic legal support for founders, startups, and emerging tech companies navigating complex regulatory landscapes. Whether you're launching a token, building an AI platform, raising capital, or structuring your company for growth, I offer practical, business-aligned counsel designed to keep momentum moving. My services are tailored, responsive, and focused on protecting your vision at every stage.
I founded Restored Law to offer legal guidance that reflects how today’s innovators actually operate. Traditional firms often miss the pace, nuance, and complexity of building in blockchain, AI, and other fast-moving industries. This practice was built to provide clarity, strategy, and legal reliability that supports innovation, not slows it down. My goal is to help good people build great things with confidence and care.

01
Clarity
I believe legal support should bring structure, not confusion. I focus on clear guidance that helps you understand your options and make confident decisions.
02
Responsiveness
Your time matters. I make it a priority to stay accessible and engaged, especially during high-stakes or fast-moving situations.
03
Integrity
I protect more than your business. I protect your reputation, your relationships, and the principles you stand on. Every decision is grounded in what is right, not just what is legally acceptable.
