“AEGIS consistently was the driver to getting the deal done!  AEGIS did not accept “no” or “there’s not enough time” as an answer – they just jumped through hoops to make things happen!  I know all of the outside professional firms that worked on this deal were extremely impressed with the capabilities and performance of AEGIS in this deal.”

- Tom Wilcher, CEO, Soft Surroundings

“Succinctly put, Scott Levine is an entrepreneur’s entrepreneur.  Add to that the fact that he’s a great lawyer (in the best possible sense of the word) and you’ve got an invaluable asset to the innovation ecosystem of our region. He has done a remarkable job in developing a firm that can service virtually every need of early to mid-stage companies from business planning, capital sourcing, deal making, deal closing…and everything in between.  Moreover, his commitment to the nonprofit sector through AEGIS’ Stetin Center further differentiates his firm as being one of the best resources for entrepreneurs–commercial or social–in the St. Louis region and beyond.”

“AEGIS has worked on multiple matters for me over the past 2/3 years.  I feel like we have been to war together having started two different businesses both with intellectual property concerns, multiple share-holders and all the chaos that accompanies getting a business off the ground.  He has provided sound council throughout the processes and when the occasion has arisen that our work has been outside his scope, he has brought quality people to the table to help out.  Throughout our relationship, AEGIS has understood what my concerns have been and has, overall, been a fantastic guy to work with.”

-Bryan Davis, Bungee Corporation

We have worked with Aegis for years.  They are the perfect resource for an entrepreneurial company like ours.  Why?  Because they are one themselves… they just get us!  We work with Mark on all our legal issues and he is so fast and responsive- you’d think he already knew what we were going to ask.

“AEGIS wrote a concise, investor ready business plan using a rudimentary operating business plan we had developed as the base. Within 60 days, we now have an Angel and VC investor ready document to provide prospects with. The business plan has been well received by our founding round of investors as well. Highly recommended.”

“I retained AEGIS  to validate and freshen the business plan for Adnorm.  Their work product had great research and was very thorough.  AEGIS has a great grasp on business practices and was very helpful in general.  Its work was one reason why I recommended her firm to be considered for a project for an insurance company where I serve on the Board of Directors.”

- Ewin Barnett, Adnorm

“Marty more than willing to help my wife and I understand all options we had as were were preparing our family trust, health care power of attorney, amongst other documents to get our simple estate planning needs met before the birth of our daughter.  He laid the groundwork for us, asked us some very good questions so we thought about all aspects of our decisions and even brought up many valuable points we would have never thought about on our own. Having Marty as our partner in our estate planning was one of the best choices we have made in our personal/financial lives.  His process was very complete and his value exceptional for all of the deliverables and the peace of mind we now have. Our daughter was born in March and updates have already been made to our documents.“
