Melissa G.
My name is Melissa “Mel” Green and I provide legal counsel to entrepreneurs, start-ups, and small businesses that is clear, concise, and focused on the practical impact of decisions. As trusted legal counsel, I proactively identify risks, and develop effective, practical solutions that protect my clients businesses, create positive outcomes, and help mitigate legal exposure. My areas of expertise include business formation, contract law/commercial transactions, healthcare law, and intellectual property. I also provide services as an outside general counsel or “fractional general counsel”. Prior to starting my own law firm, I spent the majority of my career in-house at large and small corporations, both for profit and not-for-profit, working with senior and executive management, in addition to other stakeholders at a variety of management levels. to proactively identify and address risks, mitigate legal exposure, streamline processes, lead persuasive negotiations that are integral to ensuring positive outcomes for the organization, and deliver hands-on, spectacular client service. There came a time when I realized that individuals and smaller entities were not receiving the same level of legal support and guidance as mid-size to large companies and as a result, individuals and small businesses were not growing and sustaining on the same level. I wanted to use my expertise to provide those that were underserved by the legal market with competent counsel at an affordable price. With the increasing number of new businesses, I knew that I could make a difference to those that needed legal guidance but were putting it off in fear of “Big Law” prices. I love to “partner” with my clients, get a deep understanding of their business, develop lasting professional relationships and watch them prosper. I want to find a way to help my clients maximize the reach, value and impact of their business. Services that I have provided over the course of my career: (i) reviewing, drafting and negotiating commercial agreements (leases, MSAs and SOWs, consulting services agreements, confidentiality agreements, SaaS agreements, coaching agreements, independent contractor agreements, coaching agreements, photographer agreements, waivers and releases, licensing agreements, etc.), (ii) business formation (operating agreements, written consents, bylaws, etc.), (iii) preparing policies and procedures for businesses in highly regulated industries, (iv) conducting federal trademark searches and filing trademark applications/preparing trademark opinion letters after conducting appropriate legal research, and (v) general business counsel.

Tenant Rental Agreement
Illinois
I'm a landlord looking to add a lease clause that allows my tenant to break the lease if he/she covers all rent up until the start of the new tenant's lease. Can you help me?
I'm in Illinois and my current tenant would like to renew the lease but add this clause for flexibility to possibly purchase a house. We discussed that she will cover the rent up until the new tenant moves in.

Can the tenant use the property for storage?
As a business owner, I am looking to rent a commercial property to use for storage purposes. However, I am unsure if the property's lease agreement allows for such use or if there are any restrictions in place. Therefore, I am seeking legal advice on whether I can use the property for storage and if there are any legal implications I should be aware of.
Donya G.
In order to advise you on the lease, you would have to have the lease reviewed so that the purposes for the lease can be established and discussed with you. I can help to review your lease and advise you on you can and cannot do based on the lease. You can connect with me via the website to engage my services Donya Gordon

How To Get an Addendum to a Lease as a Tenant
I'm a tenant with a Case & Associates Property looking to get an addendum made to a lease agreement, specifically about a possible error with the lease term that was signed on. Is this something that can be done between a tenant and property manager? Do I need a tenant lawyer involved? Honestly any help with how to proceed on this is greatly appreciated. The error is that I had wanted to sign on for three months, but got put on for fourth months instead. I believe an addendum could correct this, but am not sure.
Sarah S.
You're basically asking for free legal advice because you're not asking for a drafted document but I'll bite because no local lawyer will have a remedy for this anyway. The LL tenant laws for Oklahoma are found in Title 41 of the Oklahoma Statutes. They are very loose. Your proposal could be done, but the PM would have to agree to it. Typically when contracts are altered, there must be a new form of consideration in exchange for the alteration/addendum (unless you're being put on federal military orders which can break any lease.) If you're not going to offer them something of value (i.e. more money, guaranteed professional cleaning of the apt, etc.) they will not have a reason to sign it. If the language of the lease clearly stated 4 months and you signed it anyway, that is on you and you're out of luck. "I wanted to sign on for 3 months but got put on for 4 months instead." Who signed your name without your consent? Were you fraudulently coerced into signing for 1 more month....It sounds like you signed for 4 hoping you could get them down to 3 later...

Residential Lease Agreement
Washington
Residential lease agreement and association rules?
I recently signed a residential lease agreement and have recently been made aware of association rules that may affect my rights and obligations as a tenant. I am concerned that these rules may conflict with the terms of my lease agreement and am seeking legal advice to ensure that I am aware of any potential issues that I may face.
Merry A.
If you would like to request me through a project, I’d be happy to review all documents and WA State law and provide you with advice. It will be important to know whether or not you were informed that you will have to comply with the HOA rules at the time you signed the lease—many leases state the necessity to comply with HOA CC&R’s and/or Bylaws and/or rules as well as WA State law.

Ohio
Do I need witnesses for a rental agreement?
I recently signed a rental agreement with my landlord for a new apartment. I am concerned that the agreement may not be legally binding as there were no witnesses present when I signed it. I am looking for advice on whether or not witnesses are needed for a rental agreement to be legally valid.
Michelle M.
Witnesses are not required for a residential lease agreement in Ohio. However, if the term of the lease is 3 years or longer, the signatures must be notarized. I hope this helps.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

View Trustpilot ReviewI 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 ReviewI 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.
