Billy Joe M.
I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2006 with a degree in Political Science, Finance, and Economics. I stayed around Champaign for law school and graduated in 2009. I then worked at a big law firm in downtown Chicago. It was boring, so I quit in early 2011. I thought that I could not be happy practicing law - I was wrong. After I quit the traditional law firm life, I began representing my own clients. I realize now that I love helping normal people, small business owners, and non-profits address a variety of legal issues. I hope to hear from you.
"Billy Joe was great to work with on a demand letter related to a HOA dispute. He was understanding of my situation, thorough in communication, and worked with me through a complex situation. I'm not a lawyer and he was very personable, as well as responsive. Highly recommended!"

Ryenne S.
My name is Ryenne Shaw and I help business owners build businesses that operate as assets instead of liabilities, increase in value over time and build wealth. My areas of expertise include corporate formation and business structure, contract law, employment/labor law, business risk and compliance and intellectual property. I also serve as outside general counsel to several businesses across various industries nationally. I spent most of my early legal career assisting C.E.O.s, General Counsel, and in-house legal counsel of both large and smaller corporations in minimizing liability, protecting business assets and maximizing profits. While working with many of these entities, I realized that smaller entities are often underserved. I saw that smaller business owners weren’t receiving the same level of legal support larger corporations relied upon to grow and sustain. I knew this was a major contributor to the ceiling that most small businesses hit before they’ve even scratched the surface of their potential. And I knew at that moment that all of this lack of knowledge and support was creating a huge wealth gap. After over ten years of legal experience, I started my law firm to provide the legal support small to mid-sized business owners and entrepreneurs need to grow and protect their brands, businesses, and assets. I have a passion for helping small to mid-sized businesses and startups grow into wealth-building assets by leveraging the same legal strategies large corporations have used for years to create real wealth. I enjoy connecting with my clients, learning about their visions and identifying ways to protect and maximize the reach, value and impact of their businesses. I am a strong legal writer with extensive litigation experience, including both federal and state (and administratively), which brings another element to every contract I prepare and the overall counsel and value I provide. Some of my recent projects include: - Negotiating & Drafting Commercial Lease Agreements - Drafting Trademark Licensing Agreements - Drafting Ambassador and Influencer Agreements - Drafting Collaboration Agreements - Drafting Service Agreements for service-providers, coaches and consultants - Drafting Master Service Agreements and SOWs - Drafting Terms of Service and Privacy Policies - Preparing policies and procedures for businesses in highly regulated industries - Drafting Employee Handbooks, Standard Operations and Procedures (SOPs) manuals, employment agreements - Creating Employer-employee infrastructure to ensure business compliance with employment and labor laws - Drafting Independent Contractor Agreements and Non-Disclosure/Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation Agreements - Conducting Federal Trademark Searches and filing trademark applications - Preparing Trademark Opinion Letters after conducting appropriate legal research - Drafting Letters of Opinion for Small Business Loans - Drafting and Responding to Cease and Desist Letters I service clients throughout the United States across a broad range of industries.
"Ryenne was professional and very helpful. Her review of our agreement broke down the legal jargon into laymens terms and helped our team discussions for the decision making process ~ Thank you!"

Debt Collection
Settlement Agreement
Washington
I was injured when a Chinese safety product and won my argument.
I bought a safety sling off Amazon (I am Paraplegic) and the first time I used the lifting harness it failed and I fell hitting my foot on the floor and injuring it. After a lengthy investigation I was awarded an $18,000 Settlement Agreement and McLarens did all negotiations for the Chinese Supplier (Vendor of Amazons) and the Wire Transfer was set up for payment. It has been over 100 days since the agreement was made and we still have not been paid. The agent of McLarens on behalf of the Chinese Company (NEFFT) is my only contact and negotiated this settlement with will not return my Email and 5 times she has emailed she says she will contact her Client but I do not hear back from her and have to ask all over again. She has stalled for over 100 days now. What is the time limit for non payment and if so can they be Sued for Breach and bad faith practices and would that qualify for 3 times the amount of Settlement for Breach? Also my injured Foot is getting worse on top of it! Please help if possible?
Merry K.
I'm so sorry to hear about this. However, you posted on ContractsCounsel in the "question and answer" part of ContractsCounsel - I think you should obtain legal help, and for this, you need to post your request in the "project" area and expect to pay an attorney for help and advice. I'm sorry, I'm unable to answer all your questions - I just dropped in to provide these comments to you. (Also, please do not ask for me for a project, and I am not available for this type of work right now).

Demand Letter
California
Demand letter and statute of limitations?
I recently received a demand letter from a creditor regarding an unpaid debt. The letter states that I must pay the full amount within 30 days or they will take legal action. I am concerned that the debt may be outside the statute of limitations, and I wanted to know what legal recourse I have in this situation.
Myrna L.
If you are certain that the debt is time barred, debtor may not sue you. In California, there is generally a 4-year limit for filing a lawsuit based on a written agreement. Just make sure you don’t inadvertently restart the statute of limitations, i.e. acknowledge the debt.

Note Payable
New York
I need to sue on an unpaid promissory note
The note was written back in March 2019 I hired an attorney and he has done nothing for me! I made tons of requests to try to settle out of court with this man and he just keeps blowing me off
Jane C.
An attorney needs to review what has been done so far on the case and move forward from there.
Debt Collection
Repayment Agreement
Massachusetts
Can a repayment agreement be enforced if there was no written contract or agreement?
I recently borrowed a significant sum of money from a friend to cover some unexpected medical expenses. We agreed verbally that I would repay the loan in monthly installments over a period of one year, but there was no written contract or agreement. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I am now facing financial hardship and am unable to make the agreed-upon payments. My friend is threatening legal action to recover the loan. Can they enforce the repayment agreement even though there is no written contract?
Laura H.
If the final payment was scheduled for more than one year after the agreement was made, Massachusetts law generally requires a written document. Texts or emails are considered writings that may be used to fulfill this requirement. However, there may be an exception if the parties began performance. A local attorney can review the evidence to provide specific advice.
Debt Collection
Demand Letter
Washington
Drafting tone in a demand letter?
I recently received a demand letter from a creditor for an unpaid debt. I am unsure of how to respond in a way that is both respectful and firm. I am concerned about the tone of my response and I would like to make sure that it is appropriate and in line with the law.
Merry K.
It is always an excellent idea to (1) Use a polite and professional tone, along the lines of how you would write if your letter could end up in front of a judge some day; (2) Have a friend or family member review your letter with you before you send it; and (3) include all your pertinent contact information. However, I do want to mention that when you write back, if you don't know what the debt is for, you are within your rights to request written verification of what the debt is for - I mention this because there is a popular scam of sending fake debt collection letters to people and causing them all kinds of stress and distress.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
