Testimonials
“I own a Deal a Day Website and needed a complete package set up for all our legal agreements.

I would highly recommend him to anyone especially if they are an online business.” - Dr. Brian Miller, President and CFO of GazooiT Inc., www.GazooIt.com (Newark, Delaware)
“I first worked with Bill when I launched Expand Networks in 1999. Over the past twelve plus years Bill has always demonstrated an exceptional understanding of not only the law but specifically the law as it pertains to technology. He is a true trail blazer in the space! Bill is knowledgeable on a wide range of tech-law topics from preparing complex OEM agreement and partner agreements to reviewing a one page Non disclosure Agreements. He is honest, fair and never too busy to return a quick email. His passion and professionalism is reflected in the quality of his work.” - Tom Silvestri, CFO, Expand Networks Inc., www.expand.com (Roseland, New Jersey)
“Bill’s knowledge of technology and online issues is unsurpassed. Having referred Bill to many of our Clients over the years I have total confidence in his ability to handle the legal issues well. Bill is also extremely responsive working within our limited timeframes. I can highly recommend Bill Galkin to anyone looking for a reasonably priced yet knowledgeable Internet and Technology attorney.” - Gary A. Klingsheim, Vice President, Moonrise Productions, Inc.

“I have hired Bill to advise, assist and guide on a number of internet intellectual property related legal projects and can unequivocally and without reservation recommend Bill for his expertise and integrity. Prior to working with Bill, I had a few (very expensive) experiences with some of the larger “name” internet intellectual property law firms. I found Bill’s work and professionalism to be on par with those IP firms. Where Bill really distinguishes himself from “the pack” is his extremely reasonable fee structure, the fact that he really cares about his clients and his relationship oriented (beyond billable hours), extremely personable style.” - Steven Monaco, Financial Markets Sales, Business Development & Marketing Professional (San Francisco, California)
“Mr. Galkin helped us with website terms of use/privacy policy. We have enjoyed working with him. We especially appreciate his dynamicity, responsiveness, patience, flexibility, as well as expertise and knowledge. It is our pleasure to recommend his services.” - Monterey Language Services, www.montereylanguages.com (Marina, California)
“As Zend’s contract attorney, Bill invested months to help me successfully negotiate an 85-page development and strategic alliance agreement with one of Zend’s largest partners. Bill’s long experience with software agreements and the nuances of intellectual property litigation helped us navigate some difficult waters related to warranties, indemnification, limits of liability, and open source licensing. He had numerous, creative suggestions for rewording troublesome clauses in a way that helped meet both parties’ needs. He was firm when necessary, but realistic about true risks and the need to find good compromises. Based on my experience with numerous attorneys prior to Zend, I rank Bill’s skills and contribution as exceptional.” - Michael Scarpato, Senior Director, Business Development, Zend Technologies, Inc., www.zend.com (Cupertino, California)
“We initially contracted with Bill to draft the terms of service and privacy policy for our web application (http://i-wheel.com). When it came time to re-write our master client agreement, we turned to him again. And then, when an enterprise client required modifications to the agreement, Bill facilitated email and phone negotiations with the client. Throughout our relationship, we have been impressed by the promptness with which Bill responds to our emails, and the time frame within which he completes new work and incorporates revisions. We have also felt confident in our decisions because Bill takes the time to educate us when we are faced with subtle legal situations. Last, but not least, we have been surprised at how reasonable Bill’s rates are–every time we receive an invoice, I am surprised that it isn’t more.” - Daniel Nelson, Software Architect for Joel Barker’s Implications Wheel (Minneapolis, Minnesota)

“Mr. Galkin helped us draft and execute an outsourcing services agreement and equipment leasing agreement for a large client. We are very pleased with Mr. Galkin’s work, timeliness and comprehensive approach. He led us to consider issues we otherwise would not have. We will certainly use him again.” - Ravi Thakker, President, MDcentric LLC (Charlotte, North Carolina)
“That ours was a start-up web hosting business made it absolutely essential that the attorney we would ultimately select to be our Legal Counsel brought robust knowledge of internet law, experience with similar start-ups and a willingness to be an active participant not just in policy matters but in organizational structure and development, service offerings and alliances. We thought it would be difficult to be completely confident that whomever we selected was indeed the right best person but, in hindsight, choosing Bill Galkin was probably the easiest and most comfortable business decision we have made thus far. If only all were so straightforward.” - Geoff Biddle, GraceRoute, LLC, Building a Socially Responsible Web (Bethesda, Maryland)

Before choosing Bill we looked into his professional experience, which made the decision easy (given his deep knowledge in this industry). I would highly recommend Bill.” – Howard Chai, ResumeCompanion.com
