What our clients are saying
Propylon came into our state with an impressive understanding of legislative processes. From our first meeting, they had carried out extensive research into our unique methods of drafting legislation and worked diligently to master our old system. The modern solution has introduced efficiencies, streamlined processes and creates a positive user experience for the drafting attorneys and staff. The levels of support have been truly excellent and I look forward to the next phases of the project.
