I focus my practice on startups and small to mid-size businesses, because they have unique needs that mid-size and large law firms aren't well-equipped to service. In addition to practicing law, I have started and run other businesses, and have an MBA in marketing from Indiana University. I combine my business experience with my legal expertise, to provide practical advice to my clients. I am licensed in Ohio and California, and I leverage the latest in technology to provide top quality legal services to a nationwide client-base.

Briana C.
Legal services cost too much, and are often of low quality. I have devoted my law practice to providing the best work at the most affordable price—in everything from defending small businesses against patent trolls to advising multinational corporations on regulatory compliance to steering couples through a divorce.

Rebecca S.
I absolutely love helping my clients buy their first home, sell their starters, upgrade to their next big adventure, or transition to their next phase of life. The confidence my clients have going into a transaction and through the whole process is one of the most rewarding aspects of practicing this type of law. My very first class in law school was property law, and let me tell you, this was like nothing I’d ever experienced. I remember vividly cracking open that big red book and staring at the pages not having the faintest idea what I was actually reading. Despite those initial scary moments, I grew to love property law. My obsession with real estate law was solidified when I was working in Virginia at a law firm outside DC. I ran the settlement (escrow) department and learned the ins and outs of transactions and the unique needs of the parties. My husband and I bought our first home in Virginia in 2012 and despite being an attorney, there was so much we didn’t know, especially when it came to our HOA and our mortgage. Our real estate agent was a wonderful resource for finding our home and negotiating some of the key terms, but there was something missing in the process. I’ve spent the last 10 years helping those who were in the same situation we were in better understand the process.
"Rebecca you were awesome I appreciate you working with me and helping me get this done. I look forward to working with you in the future."

Brand Ambassador Agreement
California
Can a brand ambassador terminate a Brand Ambassador Agreement if they are not receiving the agreed-upon compensation?
I have been working as a brand ambassador for a company for the past six months, promoting their products on social media and attending events on their behalf. However, I have recently noticed that I am not receiving the compensation outlined in the Brand Ambassador Agreement we signed at the beginning of our partnership. Despite several attempts to address this issue with the company, they have not taken any action to rectify the situation. I am now considering terminating the agreement, but I want to know if I have the legal right to do so in these circumstances.
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and thanks for coming to contractscounsel.com. The short answer? PROBABLY. Generally, the terms of the agreement will outline what it is you can do if you aren't receiving the outlined compensation. If the agreement is silent on this, then the law generally doesn't automatically terminate the agreement; however, you can suspend your performance until you are paid and demand the money that you be paid here. To cover your bases, it’s smart to send the company a written notice explaining that they’ve breached the agreement by not paying you and stating that you’re terminating the contract as a result. This puts everything on record in case they try to dispute it later. If you’re not sure about the specific legal details, consulting with one of us here would be a good idea to ensure your termination is legally airtight. We can review the agreement for you and let you know your options. Best of luck!

Asset Purchase
California
I am a seller .Buyer broke the contract, How do I get the earnest money in case the buyer did not agree to sign ? .
I am a seller . made a contract to sell the commercial building. But Buyer did not make to fulfill their jobs, my broker asked to sign for the deposit. They did not answer for long time. Escrow company said without both sign, can not release the deposit to the seller.
Donya G.
That is correct. The escrow agreements I have drafted or reviewed would only release the money if both parties agreed. However, the document should outline what happens when there is a dispute. You will need the document reviewed and then advised on the next steps. As a contracts attorney who has experience with contract disputes, I can assist you. If you would like to engage my services, you may contact me on the Contracts Counsel website. Donya Gordon

Contract Agreement
Illinois
What is my best path to recover a down payment paid to a contractor who never started my job and has gone MIA while I've been trying to cordially recover my money. Demand Letter via certified mail etc..?
I signed a contract with a contractor to update my home. I signed the contract and paid a $5k deposit (the contract has zero verbiage related to a deposit) to 'get on his list'. After several months and failed attempts to get a specific start date I informed the contractor I was not going to move forward with the project. He said he would pay the deposit back but asked for me to accept $1000 / month. He paid $1000 back however has gone MIA since and is not returning any calls or texts.
Jane C.
I suggest you have an attorney send a demand letter. If that fails, you can bring you claim against the contractor to small claims court.

Software Agreement
Florida
Software agreement and dispute escalation?
I am a software developer who recently entered into a software agreement with a client. We have been having some disputes regarding the agreement, but we have been unable to come to a satisfactory resolution. I am now looking for advice on how to best resolve the dispute and how to protect my rights under the software agreement.
Daniel D.
The first step to resolving a dispute is to look at what the software agreement says. The agreement may have terms or conditions in there that discuss what happens when there is a dispute. Without seeing the agreement it is difficult to say what you could do to best protect your rights and resolve the dispute.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
