"Matthew was absolutely excellent to work with. He responded to our project request immediately, was always available via text, phone, or email to answer any questions, and handled our demand letter quickly and efficiently. We got a response same-day as a result of Matthew's demand letter, and we had a check in our hands within a few short weeks of hiring him. He even offered to handle a few additional things, like negotiations and document signing, and finalizing the settlement. Would highly recommend Matthew for your legal needs!"

"Bryan handled three matters for my corporation over six weeks: a trademark and domain question, an entity and ownership cleanup with Delaware records, and a coverage and notice review of two new insurance policies. Every piece was delivered on time, in writing, and in a form I could act on the same day. He read the actual documents, flagged the problems I had not seen, sequenced the fixes correctly, and told me plainly what did not need doing. His fees were fixed and agreed in advance, and he refunded the platform fee he said he would. His work has been central to getting my business on a compliant footing, and he is now my go-to counsel for business matters."

Founder & Principal Attorney

Tewksbury, Massachusetts
8 Yrs Experience
Licensed in MA
Suffolk University Law School

I am a Massachusetts attorney with an MBA and approximately six years of experience advising closely held businesses, business owners, and individuals on contracts, corporate transactions, commercial real estate, and day-to-day business legal issues. My practice focuses on helping clients draft, review, negotiate, and understand agreements that support their business goals while identifying practical legal and financial risks before problems arise. I assist clients with matters including business purchase and sale agreements, commercial leases, independent contractor agreements, confidentiality agreements, operating agreements, entity formation documents, corporate governance materials, and outside general counsel support. I also bring many years of litigation experience involving contract, business, real estate, construction, and ownership disputes, which I believe helps me review agreements with an eye toward clarity, enforceability, and avoiding future disputes. My goal is to provide practical, responsive, and business-minded legal guidance to small businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals who need clear answers and well-drafted documents without unnecessary complexity.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

View Trustpilot Review

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

View Trustpilot Review

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
