"Working with Jo-Ná has been the best investment I’ve made in my business. Made over $25,000 in sales within 6 weeks of our initial consultation based on a single suggestion she made to me. Jo-Ná makes it easy and convenient for busy entrepreneurs like myself to work with her. She provides more than legal advice and business services.”

Rom JB, Founder of RJB Tutoring

“Working with Jo-Ná has been a real breath of fresh air. Not only do I feel like she's taking care of my legal wants and needs, but she's doing it in a way where I feel at ease and very comfortable about everything.”

Chris Ducker, Entrepreneur, Founder of Youpreneur

“As a creative entrepreneur I knew there had to be a starting list of what I needed, that this was surely a path many had walked down before, so I loved that so many of my friends and colleagues in my industry had all used Jo-Ná . It affirmed that I wouldn't have to explain who I am and what I do, but that's she'd "get it" from day one.

Jo-Ná  was so incredibly patient while I waded through a whole new language with legal. At times it felt like learning Russian, but she never hesitated to explain it again, let me know everything was going to be alright, and she'd be with me until we checked off everything and made sure my business was streamlined and protected. The fact that she was walking me from the starting gate to a specific end-point through the list of what she knew I needed, let me focus on being the CEO and then turn on my legal brain during our calls, knowing she'd lead the way in between.”

Hilary Rushford, Stylist, Creative Business Mentor

“I thought you were amazingly fun to work with and so supportive. It’s like you genuinely cared that I was fully protected (I never felt like just another billable client). You have fabulous energy. You let me know exactly what to expect from you and you consistently delivered on time, great accountability and you really listened to what I wanted and graciously made changes (though you rarely needed to). You did a great job of working with my team and I loved your encouragement and ideas that went beyond legal issues.”

Barbara huson, Business & Wealth Advisor

“Working with Jo-Ná has been a pleasure. She’s swift, smart and incredibly easy to work with. I feel so much safer knowing that I have had her look at all of my contracts. There aren’t a lot of lawyers who get my service based business the way that she does. She is also an amazing business consultant. Her advice is priceless. My business is in great hands.”

Monica Shah, Business Coach, Founder of Revenue Breakthrough

“Working with Jo-Ná has been one of the best moves I’ve made for my business, hands down. Before we worked together my business strategy was hope. I hoped my contracts were solid. I hoped my relationships with clients and associates would remain great. I hoped I hadn’t missed anything important in the fine print. Hiring Jo-Ná and going pro with my legal matters has created a feeling of calm that’s worth more than money can buy.”

Nisha Moodley, Women’s Leadership Coach

“Jo-Ná this was an amazing agreement. Definitely the most easy to understand that I’ve ever read. Thank you. I am very happy!”

Sarah Jenks, Founder of SarahJenks.com

“Before I worked with Jo-Na, I was struggling to upsell my 10 week program to clients. Jo-Na instantly diagnosed what I could change to show people the value of continuing to work together and within our brief session I had tangible takeaways I could immediately apply. After months of hearing “No thanks” within 2 weeks of working with Jo-Na I upsold my first program, by making the changes based on Jo-Na’s insight I’ve been able to double my revenue and bring in 30% more clients overall. Jo-Na has a gift to instantly pinpoint the quick foundational changes that drive huge results! IF you want to increase your revenue and influence on the world talk to Jo-Na ASAP!”

She knows what she's doing and makes the entire process easy for you.”

Elsa Isaac, Stylist

Cynthia Malaran, Graphic Designer

“I absolutely love Jo-Ná. She made it easy for me to understand what my business needed and why. She’s not only an expert at what she does (she’s brilliant), she goes above and beyond.

Paul Francis, Musician, Founder of Brooklyn Jazz Orchestra

“Jo-Ná thank you so much. You and your team have made this process so easy and a lot less scary than I thought it was going to be. I'm so grateful.”

Tasia Benoit, Entrepreneur

“Working with Jo-Ná was so far from intimidating it’s not even funny! She was great at explaining everything to me without making me feel overwhelmed, frustrated or stressed (all the things I feared I’d feel working with a legal advisor). I can’t believe how vulnerable my business was. 

She’s a brilliant, dedicated and loving lawyer who truly cares about her clients. You don’t find many like her, so grab her while you can. My only regret is that I didn’t work with her sooner.”

Rachel Luna, Business Coach, Speaker, Author

“If you’re in business, you need Jo-Ná. Recently, I had two major clients approach me to do work. I needed to be sure our contracts were ironclad and protected us both. In one case Jo-Ná skillfully negotiated the terms of the agreement. In the second case, she drafted a complex agreement that, while protecting my business, made it clear for both parties. Both clients signed (and neither were the shy type). Thank you Jo-Ná for your diligence and counsel. I can breathe easier knowing that you’re in my corner.”

Ruth Sherman, Celebrity Speaking and Media Coach

“Jo-Ná’s a Rockstar! I found myself working on a consulting contract with none other than the attorney credited with saving the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade. Now, I’ve dealt with a lot of contracts (big ones) but I must admit, this one made me nervous so I called Jo-Ná. 

She delivered on all levels (big words for a picky customer like me) and I handed the contract over expecting the usual back and forth. However, this time I lifted my jaw off the ground as I watched the contract (with every one of Jo-Ná’s changes accepted exactly as delivered) happily executed and signed by my client! If you need someone to watch your back and sleep easy knowing your legal matters are handled well give Jo-Ná a call.”

Nathalie Molina Nino , Speaker, Serial Entrepreneur

“I abso-freakinlutely LOVE working with Jo-Ná, She just gets it. As a creative entrepreneur, the things I am working on sometimes have no precedent and not only has she made it easy for me to understand how to protect my work, she interested in and advised me on the long term vision for my business and growth. She always has an eye out on how we set things up now so that it’s in the best interest of my business in the future. She will always go the extra mile to make sure I have everything that I need. Hands down the easiest lawyer I have ever worked with. And I never get that slimy feeling that I get from some lawyers that she’s out of for herself. Never. From the first meeting I knew she was on my side and that is priceless.”

Kristen Domingue, Brand & Marketing Strategist, Founder of One Life, One Purpose

“Jo-Ná is wonderful to work with. She’s been instrumental in the development of our collective and has really worked hard to tailor solutions to our needs. Her experience, motivational attitude and expansive knowledge has been key in helping us legitimize our business practices.”

Ryann Holmes, Co-Founder, Bklyn Boihood

“Before I met Jo-Ná I didn’t know any lawyers that knew what I needed to protect my specific kind of small business. Coaching, blogging, and internet marketing come with their own unique challenges and I needed a legal advisor that not only “Got that” but could point out areas of vulnerability that I didn’t even know existed. Now I can sleep at night knowing that I am taken care of from a legal standpoint.”

Isabel Foxen Duke, Coach

“Jo-Ná took me from entrepreneur to successul business owner. She went way beyond the normal scope of a lawyer. She’s a true friend who aligns with your mission and wants to see you succeed.

Veronica Gerbremariam, Model, Wilhelmina

“I had my first contract handed to me and I had no idea what to do with it. I knew I needed someone smart, efficient and reliable to serve as my advocate and I trusted Jo-Ná’s work. She was incredibly responsive and I appreciated the time we spent reviewing her suggestions. I feel confident I can contact her with questions. I feel protected.”

Allegra Stein, Coach

“Working with Jo-Ná was a wonderful process from start to finish. She’s knowledgeable, professional, pleasant, detailed and quick. She made what could have been a very intimidating process easy, accessible and even enjoyable. I was highly impressed with the level of service she and her team provide. I look forward to working with her again in the future.”

Julie Weber, Founder of The Samana Project

“I was looking for a lawyer that didn’t just treat me as just another client and didn’t give me the time of day and one that understood my small business and I found Jo-Ná. 

I was really happy with the result. She took care of everything and I felt really comfortable handing my contract over to my clients. I feel like she has my interests at heart and I know that I am protected. She takes her time in knowing you and your business. She really cares about you. She’s the type of lawyer you want on your side and you know that you will be taken care of.”

When you speak to her you are immediately at ease because she’s so genuine and easy to talk to. She’s not at all the gruffy, stuffy lawyer I expected. She’s a brillant, advice-giving, problem-solving friend. I would highly recommend that you book a consulting session with her now before someone snaps her up because a lawyer, I mean friend like this is hard to find. If you want amazing legal advice Jo-Ná is your person.”

Kimberly Gosney, Hope Loves Cards

“Working with Jo-Ná was easy. She made it clear what would happen next and what I needed to do. She is a delightful person to work with and she responds to questions rapidly and explains the process well. Thanks Jo-Ná for making me feel that I was in safe hands in an area I did not fully understand.”

Clare Monteau, PhD

“Jo-Ná was referred to us through Instagram. After looking for a lawyer for almost 2 weeks, discovering her service was literally a godsend! She not only took the time to listen to my concerns, she also quickly turned around materials which allowed my entire team to breathe a sigh of relief (as tight deadlines lingered over our heads). Her passion for helping creatives navigate intimidating legalese and daunting forms is quite evident, and rare. I will ALWAYS go to her from now on, and will happily refer her to any and all of who ask!”

Nilsa Salgado

"Jo-Ná is an incredible strategic thinker. When I worked with her, she was efficient, detail-oriented and effective when it came to asking me the right questions and keeping me on task. Her assessments of the work I was doing and the options she provided to enhance the work enabled me to keep my eye on the bigger picture and bring me back to the deeper vision that was guiding me. I would recommend her to any entrepreneur that wants to grow their business effectively."

Kelly McNelis, Founder Women for One, Author “Your Messy Brilliance”

“Jo-Ná is extremely professional and structured. As I am very structured in my thoughts I wanted to ensure I was working with the right lawyer. Jo-Ná provided and delivered exactly what was needed. She is informative, listens, respects the opinion of clients and guides the client to the correct structure and format. Without Jo-Ná’s support I am not sure my launch would have happened, at least not so smoothly.”

Denise Gaylord

“I definitely recommended her. Jo-Ná has a friendly welcoming nature and one that works very well with cross borders and cultures. Her easy & comforting style, as well as her expertise in legal affairs gave me confidence and was timely. She provided all that was required in a fast and professional fashion. We will continue working with her and her support of our Company will continue.”

Laura Choueri

“Jo-Ná was amazing from the start. She made me feel very comfortable, understood and excited about my work and the work we were going to do together. Her personality and positivity is one of the best things about her. For this reason alone, she's amazing to work with, not to mention the incredible job she does. She is very intelligent, kind, helpful and far exceeded my expectations.”

Sierra Taylor

“Jo-Ná is a sharp attorney and business strategist who not only gives legal counsel, but she also gives great common sense advice on how to maneuver in the fast-changing landscape of digital enterprises. I appreciated our sessions as I was setting up my business and the clear and concise plan she laid out for me to get me from the idea stage to the "open for business" stage of my business. She fosters growth in her clients. Working directly with her has been an overwhelmingly positive experience. She knows her stuff and delivers exactly what she promises.”

Markette Smith

“She assisted me in turning my freelance work into a full-fledged creative media agency - Altruistic Media.  

The process of working with Jo-Ná was both comprehensive and efficient. We created goals together and brainstormed ways of achieving those goals, while effectively managing time and maintaining priorities. I am full of very intricate ideas, but I sometimes lack the focus to bring them to fruition. Jo-Ná helped to empower me to give my creative agency structure and to utilize my intention to manifest a more refined positive result. If you have raw talent or an incredible idea, but for whatever reason you haven't taken the time to develop these things into a sustainable business model you need to work with Jo-Ná. Even if you currently already have a business, Jo-Ná will undoubtedly assist you in taking that business to the next level. Not only can she provide you with the tools to make your business sustainable, but she will assure that you're well equipped to continue to effectively grow. She also has a certain magic charm about her that is undeniable and will inevitably bring light into your life. I can't begin to describe how grateful I am to know and work with Jo-Ná, it has truly been a blessing.”

Elijah Lee Reeder

“Of course I found exactly what I needed in Jo-Ná and her team. The process of working with Jo-Ná was professional, seamless and fun. I knew I was in good hands from the moment we had our first consultation. Her knowledge and positive energy made the whole process (and at times with the incorporation process it was long) very easy. As a result of her work, I now have a fully incorporated business and have increased my yearly income by tens of thousands of dollars. Bottom line is this: not only is she a very talented lawyer, but she has a great heart and truly wants you to succeed!”

Karen Litzy

“Jo-Ná took the time to walk me through the steps I needed to take to achieve my business dreams and told me exactly what she could do to expedite and ensure success on my path.

If you are looking for someone to watch your back and give you the truth regarding legal matters who feels welcoming and generous spirited and uses everyday language so you can actually converse together then she totally is your gal! I felt as though Jo-Ná was my bodyguard for the scary cage. I didn't even have to go near the cage. I fully trust Jo-Ná to guide me through my legal protection with professionalism and expertise and it's such a wonderful bonus that Jo-Ná happens to be a fabulous human!”

“My previous lawyer left me feeling like I knew more about IP law than she did, which definitely didn't instill much confidence. Jo-Ná made me feel really comfortable moving forward with my big project because I knew all my legal bases were covered.

Get on her client roster now before it gets super full!”

Lara Adler

"Jo-Ná Williams saved me hours of time, thousands of dollars, and an invaluable amount of anxiety. I have known Jo-Ná for years and can vouch for her compassion and integrity that shines through with everything that she does. It wasn't until recently that I had the opportunity to work with Jo-Ná and to say that I was impressed would be an epic understatement. Rather than feeling exploited, frustrated, and helpless, I felt calm, confident, and safe with Jo-Ná's guidance. service and care. I only wish we had started working together sooner!
