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.

Recent Review for Randy M.

"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."
