About the Lawyer Selling this Template
Randy M.
Hi, I'm Randy. I've been practicing law for over 30 years, with extensive experience drafting, reviewing, and revising contracts for individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses. I spent nearly 15 years running my own law practice in Richmond, Virginia, where I represented small business owners, professionals, entrepreneurs, and clients in the entertainment industry. That experience taught me that a good contract must do more than address legal requirements. It should clearly define the parties' rights and obligations, anticipate practical problems, and protect my client's interests if the relationship does not go as planned. Contract drafting and review are major parts of my practice. Over the course of my career, I've drafted and reviewed hundreds of agreements. I also review contracts prepared by other attorneys, businesses, and individuals to identify legal issues, assess enforceability, and identify potential compliance issues under current applicable law. My experience includes: • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements • Employment and independent contractor agreements • LLC operating agreements for single-member and multi-member LLCs • Consulting, coaching, freelancer, and professional services agreements • Residential and commercial leases • NDAs and confidentiality agreements • Entertainment industry agreements • Business formation and corporate documents • Other commercial and business contracts I also have substantial experience preparing estate planning documents, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance medical directives. I'm currently based in New York City and am licensed to practice law in Virginia. I work remotely with clients on contract projects across the country. My approach is practical and straightforward. I take the time to understand the transaction, the client's objectives, and the risks that need to be addressed. I then draft an agreement that is clear, thorough, and usable in the real world. Whether you need a new agreement drafted, an existing contract reviewed, or revisions to a document you are negotiating, I can help you identify the important issues and prepare a contract that reflects your objectives. I would be glad to discuss your project and how I can help.

He asked me clarifying questions as needed, was quick to respond to my questions, and provided recommendations for how to ensure my other processes fulfill the promise of my form. I highly recommend Randy and would hire him again for future legal review needs!"

Review of employment agreement before accepting job offer
"I had a great experience working with Randy. I had a long, somewhat aggressive non-competition employer agreement for a job offer that I wanted to take. He reviewed every point of the agreement within the agreed timeline and provided a very detailed and specific report about the various risks and practical effects it could have on my future career. He even offered very reasonable suggestions to the terms to negotiate for before signing the offer letter. I am very pleased with the outcome and it allowed me to sign the job offer without fear of a clause that I didn't understand."
Reply From Randy M.
Mike, thank you for your thoughtful review. I’m glad I was able to help you sort through the agreement, understand the practical risks, and get the main concerns addressed before you signed. Best of luck with your new position!

Marriage Prenup Review
"I cannot recommend Randy highly enough. From start to finish, he provided one of the most professional and thorough legal experiences I've ever had. This was my first time navigating a prenuptial agreement, and I wasn't sure what to expect. Randy exceeded every expectation. He conducted an incredibly detailed review of the agreement, carefully explaining each recommendation in plain language while supporting his findings with applicable Georgia law. His attention to detail was remarkable, and he identified issues that I never would have recognized on my own. What impressed me most was his responsiveness, clear communication, and genuine commitment to ensuring I understood every aspect of the agreement before signing. Our overall marriage license timeline was seriously delayed because my Fiancé's attorney (also from Contracts Counsel) stopped responding halfway through but Randy even caught several drafting errors from my fiancé's attorney that could have easily been overlooked. That level of diligence speaks volumes about the quality of his work. If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, meticulous, responsive, and truly advocates for his clients, Randy is an outstanding choice. I am incredibly grateful for his guidance and would not hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to family, friends, and colleagues. Thank you, Randy, for your exceptional service and for making such an important life decision much easier to navigate."
Reply From Randy M.
Thank you, Nikesha, for your thoughtful review. It was a pleasure working with you, and I’m glad my review helped you better understand the agreement and move forward with greater confidence. I wish you and Amon-Ra all the best!
