Combined with her innate intelligence and diligent work ethic, then and still today, she possesses a rare human quality of unbounded kindness. Melissa dedicates herself and her practice wholeheartedly to her causes and sees them through with zeal.

“I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Jaffe on numerous proposals and contracts supporting research at Geron. I routinely met with her to review scope of work outlines and provided her with some background details. In very short order, she would provide a well prepared agreement for implementation. This high level of performance was typical of her great work ethic and analytical skills. She would put in extra time as necessary in order to meet specific deadlines and was able to juggle multiple requests from other departments. Overall, I would strongly recommend Ms. Jaffe to any biotechnology company seeking legal/contract expertise.”

As my career coaching business has grown it’s become more apparent that I need to have a client agreement. I had no idea where to start and frankly, was fearful my true intentions would get lost in legalese. Melissa provided a clear and concise method to creating the agreement using terms I, and my clients, can understand. She took the fear out of creating this document and gave me excellent advice about how to introduce it to clients.
