Michelle T.
I am an experienced, well-rounded attorney with a background specializing in trusts and estates, contracts and business law. I have extensive experience working with simple contracts all the way up to multi-million dollar deals.
"Michelle drafted an excellent and unique Post Nuptial agreement which outlines a very specific "process" that will be used to divide assets in the event of divorce. Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing. Michelle rose to the challenge at a very reasonable price. Other, "meter man" attorneys would have charged at least 5x more. I highly recommend Michelle!"

Randy M.
Hi, I'm Randy, and I've been practicing law for over 30 years with a genuine passion for contracts and legal drafting. I spent nearly 15 years running my own solo practice in Richmond, Virginia, where I built a thriving firm helping everyone from small business owners to entertainment professionals navigate their legal needs. Those years taught me that great contracts aren't just about covering all the bases legally - they're about understanding what my clients actually need and translating that into clear, enforceable agreements. My sweet spot is contract drafting across a wide range of areas. I've written hundreds of LLC operating agreements (both single and multi-member), prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, residential and commercial leases, independent contractor agreements, service contracts, NDAs, consulting agreements, and corporate formation documents. I also have extensive experience in estate planning documents - wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and living wills - plus employment agreements and entertainment law contracts. These days I'm based in New York City, but I work with clients nationwide on contract matters. What I love most about this work is taking complex business relationships and turning them into documents that actually make sense and protect everyone involved. Whether you're a startup founder needing your first operating agreement or an established business updating your contractor templates, I focus on creating contracts that work in the real world, not just on paper. After three decades of practice, I still get excited about a well-crafted contract. Let's talk about how I can help with yours.
"Randy was great and even though I didn't prepare things 100%, we went with it and didn't change the bid price. He was patient and understanding brought up a lot of issues I didn't notice. Very good work! I would work with him again in a minute!"

Note Payable
Virginia
I loaned money to a 5013c organization, I want a lawyer to look over the contract, worried about them defaulting on it
I am worried about a 5013c organization defaulting on a promissary note, they do not seem to have their act together, want to have a lawyer look over the promissary note and get advice on what happens if they default on it
Donya G.
Sure. I take it they have not yet signed as yet? You can draft the agreement with some protections to ensure payment; however, you need to keep in mind that payment will always be contingent on whether they have money to pay or not. I am a contracts attorney and if you you would like my services, you can contact me on the contracts counsel website, or post your job on the website and attorneys will respond to your job. All the best Donya Gordon

Software Agreement
California
Can a SaaS company terminate and agreement with a client?
We are a SaaS company that wants to get out of a relationship with a client. What are our options?
Michael M.
The broad general answer is that all agreements if drafted carefully have a termination provision. Reasons can be for cause or for no cause. This provision like all others in the contract are negotiated by the parties.

Recruitment Agency Contract
Washington
Is it legal for a recruiting agency to charge a fee for providing a candidate who was previously referred by another agency?
I recently engaged a recruiting agency to assist in finding a suitable candidate for a position at my company. However, another agency had previously referred a candidate who I ultimately hired through the new agency. Now, the first agency is claiming that they are entitled to a fee for the candidate, even though they did not actively participate in the hiring process. I would like to know if it is legally permissible for the new agency to charge a fee for providing a candidate who was previously referred by another agency.
Merry K.
I'm sorry to hear about what seems like a complicated mess. I suggest that you carefully review the contracts from each agency. The types of questions a contracts attorney would look for would include whether or not you're obligated to the first agency for referring a person and whether or not the second agency may be on the hook to the first agency for referring an employee signed up with the first agency. I'd want to know the time limits for referrals - eg, if the first agency's contract says that you would be obligated to pay them for a hire within "x" amount of time after referring the candidate. To my knowledge, this is the only chapter of Washington State law to review, that is on point: https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=19.31 It's often possible to negotiate a settlement in these types of situations. The first agency wants to be paid for their time/effort, which is reasonable, especially if they had a contract with you, but you may be able to settle (if you do, be sure to get everything in writing - that they release you from further liability). If the second agency is somehow at fault, you may be able to get them to reduce the fee they charged you, and/or pay the first agency some or all of the first agency's fee. I hope this has been helpful. This is not the kind of project I take on anymore, but you should be able to find a great employment attorney through ContractCounsel.com if you need one to help you navigate.

Settlement Agreement
Florida
Are settlement agreements common in business?
I am a small business owner considering entering into a business partnership with another individual. We have discussed the possibility of a settlement agreement to define our respective rights and responsibilities in the partnership. I am interested in knowing if settlement agreements are common in business, and how they are typically used in such agreements.
Diane D.
Their called Operation Agreements, and every partnership and LLC should have one. Most do.

Investment Advisory Contract
North Carolina
Can an investment advisor change the terms of an advisory contract without the client's consent?
I recently entered into an investment advisory contract with a financial advisor to manage my portfolio. However, I received a notice from the advisor stating that they will be making changes to the terms of the contract, including an increase in their fees and additional services that were not initially agreed upon. I am concerned about these changes as they were made without my consent and I would like to know if the advisor has the right to unilaterally modify the terms of the contract without my agreement.
Jeff G.
If the original agreement allowed for the advisor to make these changes unilaterally (without your input/consent) and/or on some predefined periodic basis, then yes, they can. However, if the agreement is silent about changes to the terms of your relationship, or is otherwise restrictive about how/when changes can happen, then no, they can't simply decide to change the terms. The next thing you'll want to evaluate is the termination language of your agreement and see if and how much notice is required for either of you to end the relationship. It's sometimes the case that the change notification you received is really an attempt to get you to terminate the agreement when they don't have the power to do so. But you'd need someone to review the agreement for you to provide competent advice.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
