Stacey D.
I enjoy helping businesses of all sizes succeed, from start-ups to existing small and medium sized businesses. I regularly advise corporate clients on a variety of legal issues including formation, day to day governance, reviewing and drafting business contracts and other agreements, business acquisitions and sales, as well as commercial and residential real estate issues, including sales, purchases and leases. As an attorney licensed in both Michigan and Florida, I also advise clients on real estate issues affecting businesses and individuals owning real property in either state, whether commercial, residential or vacation/investment property. I also regularly assist nonprofit organizations in obtaining and maintaining tax exempt status, and provide general legal counsel on all matters affecting public charities, private foundations and other nonprofit organizations.
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.

How should i set up my llc in Michigan for real estate development company
Im starting a Michigan llc will be a real estate development company will employ 100s eventually
David H.
Hello, I am a Michigan licensed attorney. The business formation structure you choose will impact your taxes and also protect you from liability depending on the structure. A limited liability company can be set up in multiple ways from a sole proprietor to a multi-member company. And it can be taxed in one of three ways as a pass-through tax, as an S corp, and as a regular Corporation. This all depends on how you choose to set it up. Please let me know if you would like assistance in setting up your LLC that is a service I can help with. There are State filing documents, setting up a tax ID number with the IRS, then setting up an operating agreements. Those are some of the basics. I can walk you through those or I can do the work for you to set up the agreements and file the paperwork. Please let me know if you're interested in utilizing my legal services. Thank you for the opportunity answer your question. Attorney Dave.

Is it wise to start a single-member LLC to invest in Cryptocurrency and the Pot Stock market
I have/had an LLC that is a marketing company for D2D sales. Obviously, since COVID we are all out of business. I have been investing in crypto since 2016. I lost almost all of my money in the "ONECOIN" cryptocurrency SCAM. Now I am well educated in the market and believe I will make millions in the Crypto and Metaverse market. I am interested in the tax benefits and protection of the money in my family accounts from retirement and IRAs.
David H.
Hello, I'm a Michigan licensed attorney. I also research and invest in Bitcoin another cryptocurrency. It looks like your question has a couple of facets to it. One being protecting your personal finances from cryptocurrency losses, but also including them in a future investment tool such as an IRA. There are different tax consequences depending on how you you move forward and what structure you choose. I can help you with this. Depending on how you choose to move forward emails from you an accountant / tax attorney.

Business Contract
Washington
Penalty for breaking a business contract?
I am a small business owner looking to enter into a contract with a larger company. We have negotiated terms and conditions, but I am concerned about the potential penalty if either party breaks the contract. I would like to know what the legal consequences may be for a breach of contract, so I can make an informed decision about entering into the agreement.
Merry A.
Some contracts incorporate both reasons for breaching or ending a contract, and some incorporate the amount of a penalty. Most business contracts incorporate what state's laws apply, and whether a dispute will be taken to arbitration or court. If nothing is specified in a contract, parties are most likely to sue for lost income. To truly make an informed decision, I recommend that you consult with a business attorney BEFORE you sign a contract, so that he or she can review the proposed contract and recommend changes BEFORE you sign.

Are electronic signatures valid on contractor agreements?
I am an independent contractor and I was recently asked to sign an agreement using an electronic signature. I am concerned about the validity of this agreement and want to make sure that I am protected under the law if I sign it. I am looking for advice from a lawyer to understand if electronic signatures are legally valid on independent contractor agreements.
Darryl S.
YES. How is that for a simple answer? Sadly - simple answers are rare with most lawyers. Not me. Check out my website where I offer fixed fee services on 1099 Contractor Agreement review or templates. www.fixedfeelawfirm.com.

Do I need to file my Operating Agreement in Texas?
I know I need one but does it go with State filing?
George O.
No, but you definitely need to have one, preferably reviewed and prepared by a lawyer; there are a lot of businesses that will give you templates, etc., but do not have the experience and knowledge that a lawyer brings to the table.

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 ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
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. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
