CounselPress staff are super knowledgeable, efficient, timely, understanding under stress, and very personable. These are rare commodities in the hectic legal milieu that we operate in.

I just wanted to endorse Counsel Press' Senior Appellate Counsel Alaine Patti-Jelsvik for giving me such great customer service on a recent appellate engagement with Counsel Press. Always with a dash of good humor, Alaine expertly guided me safely through a thicket of unusual appellate deadlines. When I needed her help, she was just a phone call or email away. When I need appellate services in the future, Counsel Press will be my first call.
