Mike Moyer, AuthorThe Slicing Pie Handbook
I especially appreciate working with Matthew because he understands the legal and operational challenges of a start-up. From day one, he was flexible about how we would work together and payment terms. As an entrepreneur himself, Matthew puts himself in your shoes. We’re grateful to have him on our team.
Carol Fowler, CEOKloboMedia, Inc.
It’s been terrific to work with Matthew and his team. Matthew understands the unique needs of start-ups beyond the legalities. He’s been with us from the beginning—from startup through our first round of fundraising—and continues to work with us today.
John P. TooheyCEO and Co-FounderDominode
Matt has been a pleasure to work with. The speed of work and professionalism that he exhibits is a competitive advantage in doing business. He is proactive and keeps our goals and limitations in mind. We came to Matt because of his prior experience with Slicing Pie, and have stayed because of everything else
Sourabh JainCEORelaxVR
Working with Sentient Law is a pleasure. They understand my goals as an Entrepreneur and help me find the most effective path to achieve them safely and legally. These guys get it.
Mike Hostetler, PrincipalEpic Creative, Inc.
Our entrepreneurship journey began with Sentient Law and has continued for three years. They have been exceedingly helpful in advising us through many legal challenges. They are fantastic and we highly recommend their counsel, as we have felt completely supported along the way.
Deanna CharlesCEOMambo, LLC
We have worked with Matt for several years now. His responsiveness and practical results are consistently beyond our expectations. Sentient has spoiled us for other outside counsel relationships, and if I had to put my finger on it, it’s not just the exceptional turnaround time and flexibility – it’s the intangible of having their heads in the game right along there with you.
R. David MoonCEOArx Nimbus, LLC
Matthew worked with me on the Slicing Pie method. He brought an expertise and enthusiasm to this daunting legal challenge that enabled us to get through it at a reasonable cost with approval from all involved. Matthew continues to work with us, helping clarify legal questions as we grow. He has also opened his network to us and made additional resources available along the way.
