Justin Shelton focuses on helping businesses through all stages of their existence. As an entrepreneur, he is passionate about providing tangible value to his clients and ensuring that they receive proper advice to avoid common (and hidden) pitfalls and mistakes. Justin assists clients with choosing and forming the right type of entity, issuing equity and setting up proper organizational documents.
