A Lawyer that Understands Creatives I would highly recommend Jacob for anyone pursuing indie game development that needs a legal consultant. He is incredibly professional and helped me navigate my situation with confidence. He was very helpful every step of the way, from understanding my needs in the beginning, providing clear advice for navigating my situation, and even followed up after. As an indie dev, I really appreciated his cost transparency and willingness to work with indie budgets. Game development is already challenging enough, so having found Jacob and knowing that he understands the unique challenges in the game industry means I don't have to worry about the potential legal hurdles down the road and can focus more on game development.

After a month of reviewing and searching online communicating with many attorneys in an attempt to find anyone that understands how to guide me through the legal process to acquire all the steps for the foundation to have my Tabletop Board game, that will have Electronic Books and Video Game as well, ready for me to understand the steps that I will need to do. Mr. Jacob Vela has been very knowledgeable and given insightful with showing much patience with aiding me in understanding the legal forms and meanings of what I should do to have my dream become a reality. I plan to hire the services of Mr. Jacob Vela for every legal document or representation that his company covers when it comes to the game that I am working on, for anything that may arise in the future. I would definitely recommend Mr. Jacob Vela to anyone who is attempting to start any game to be ready for the public and needing to have any legal paperwork accomplished. Most definitely.

Biography

I'm a lawyer who is also a game developer. I'm aiming to leverage that knowledge, both of the law and of working in creative fields, to help other game developers, content and video creators, board game designers, and other creatives make their dreams - and businesses - a reality.

I graduated from Willamette University College of Law in 2022 where I took an interest in contracts and intellectual property. From there, I wanted to be able to combine it with my interest in the business of video games and other artistic fields.

My practice, Argo Law LLC, seeks to help clients with their transactional matters through individualized attention, transparent billing practices, and direct knowledge and experience with the unique aspects of the industry.
