US Lawyer Needed

I have many clients in the US. I suggest a one hour Skype or telephone discussion. This will enable you to decide whether I have the experience and competence to do the work you require. I charge $40 per hour plus the 10% commission payable through freelancer. If you have any general questions, ask and I will answer. David less
