Hello, my name is Jacob Vela
I’ve been a big fan of video games and tabletop games ever since I was a little kid. I started developing games as a hobby when I was in high school and have been doing it ever since. I’ve published several gems across various storefronts.
While in law school, I took an interest in intellectual property and contracts law, and wondered how I could protect artists like game developers. I’ve seen a lot of posts where game developers were running into legal problems that require the help of a lawyer, but one that really understands the industry.
I’ve built my practice around providing that legal help to developers using specific industry knowledge from game development. I’m here to help you because I’ve been there before. My rates are flexible with no surprises and can fit your budget, even if you’re a first time developer.
