"Hired for a settlement contract to be written out in legal manner. Ammended contract as well to add clauses that we had not written.Efficient, professional. Said the time-frame would be about 4 business days and he did deliver on that in fact worked through the weekend and mlk day. Offered one final revision as well as a call to finalize language of contract. The final document delivery was more than we expand also he went above and beyond to deliver extra documents we may need. Would highly recommend."

University of Missouri - Kansas City

I represent a diverse mix in a vast array of specialties, including litigation, contracts, compliance, business and financial strategies, and emerging industries. Credit for this foundation of strength goes to those who taught me. Skilled professors and professionals fostered my powerful educational and professional background. Prior to law school, I earned dual Bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration & Accounting from Peru State College. I received a Master of Business Administration degree from Chadron State College. My ambitions did not stop there. While working full time as a Senior Accountant for the University of Missouri, Columbia, I achieved the lifelong goal of becoming a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Mizzo provided excellent opportunities and amazing experiences. Managing over $50M in government and private research funding was a gift. As a high ranking professional in the Department of Research, I was given priceless insight into the greatest scientific, journalistic, medical, and legal minds in the world. My passion for successful growth did not, and has not stopped. I graduated summa cum laude (top 3%) with a Doctorate in Law, emphasizing in urban, land use and environmental/toxic tort law from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. This success lead to invaluable experiences of serving as Hon. Brian C. Wimes' judicial clerk for the U.S. District Court for the W. D. of Missouri, as a staff editor/writer for UMKC Law Review, and as a litigation and transactional attorney with Lathrop GPM (fka Lathrop & Gage). My professional and personal network is expansive, with established relationships throughout the U.S. and overseas. Although I engage in legal practice all over the country, I maintain law licenses in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Federally, I hold licenses in the W.D. and E.D. of Missouri and the District of Nebraska. To offer extra value, efficiency, and options, I maintain a CPA license and am obtaining a real-estate brokerage license.

As a result, I finally received the information I was looking for. The firm was very professional to work with."

Consulting Agreement

Massachusetts

Asked on Jun 8, 2024

Can a consulting agreement be terminated without cause?

I have recently entered into a consulting agreement with a company to provide my expertise and services on a project basis. However, I have concerns about the termination clause in the agreement, as it states that the company can terminate the agreement at any time, without cause. This worries me because it leaves me vulnerable to sudden termination without any valid reason, potentially resulting in financial loss and damage to my professional reputation. I would like to understand if such a termination clause is legally enforceable and what options I have to protect my interests in this agreement.

Laura H.

Answered Jun 11, 2024

As a general rule, a contract can be terminated without cause if the document says as much. It's a good idea to have your agreement reviewed by a local attorney for more information.

Debt Settlement Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jul 12, 2023

Debt settlement agreement due diligence?

I recently entered into a debt settlement agreement with a company and I am concerned about the due diligence that was conducted by the company. I am worried that I may have been taken advantage of and I would like to know if the agreement is legally binding. I would also like to know what options I have if the agreement turns out to be invalid.

Diane D.

Answered Jul 28, 2023

The only way to tell if your agreement is legally binding and what options you have is to have an attorney review it. However, if all the parties have signed the agreement, it is most likely legal.

Photography Usage Rights Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jul 4, 2025

Can a photography license agreement restrict the use of photographs taken in public places?

As a professional photographer, I often capture images in public places, such as city streets and parks, and license them to clients for various purposes. Recently, I received a photography license agreement from a potential client that includes a clause restricting the use of photographs taken in public places without obtaining additional permissions or model releases. I am unsure if such a clause is legally enforceable and if it infringes on my rights as a photographer to freely capture and license images in public spaces. Can a photography license agreement restrict the use of photographs taken in public places, and if so, what are the limitations and considerations that need to be taken into account?

Ralph S.

Answered Jul 25, 2025

You can put pretty much any kid of restriction in your agreement and decide what you want and not want transferred. It's your artistic work, it does not matter what the picture is of (I guess maybe it's difficult to prove the photo is yours?). However, in a breach of contract situation, you need to show your damages. I would consider some liquidated damages provision that they would pay you a set amount if it used for any other purpose.

Maintenance Services Agreement

New York

Asked on Dec 30, 2024

What are the key provisions that should be included in a Maintenance Services Agreement?

I am a small business owner who is in the process of hiring a maintenance services provider to handle the upkeep of my office space. I have been asked to draft a Maintenance Services Agreement to outline the terms and conditions of the arrangement, but I am unsure of what provisions are essential to include. I want to ensure that the agreement covers all necessary aspects, such as the scope of work, payment terms, liability and insurance, termination rights, and any other key considerations that may be relevant to protect my interests as the client and ensure a smooth working relationship with the maintenance services provider.

Damien B.

Answered Dec 31, 2024

You are on the right track in identifying the key provisions: scope of work, payment terms, liability and insurance, and termination rights. Not all maintenance service agreements are exactly the same. Generally, what I do is look at a few of them. Then I speak with my client about the facts. Afterward, I draft the specific agreement for their purposes, including the appropriate provisions based on the client's specific needs.

I 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.
