In my thirteen years of practice, I've had the opportunity to argue cases in state, federal, and tribal courts; in subjects as diverse as gaming, land tenure, water rights, treaty rights, finance, employment, criminal defense, conflict of laws, and tort (among others). But the real value I brought my clients came through avoiding litigation, fostering relationships, and developing long-term strategies.

Randy M.
Hi, I'm Randy, and I've been practicing law for over 30 years with a genuine passion for contracts and legal drafting. I spent nearly 15 years running my own solo practice in Richmond, Virginia, where I built a thriving firm helping everyone from small business owners to entertainment professionals navigate their legal needs. Those years taught me that great contracts aren't just about covering all the bases legally - they're about understanding what my clients actually need and translating that into clear, enforceable agreements. My sweet spot is contract drafting across a wide range of areas. I've written hundreds of LLC operating agreements (both single and multi-member), prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, residential and commercial leases, independent contractor agreements, service contracts, NDAs, consulting agreements, and corporate formation documents. I also have extensive experience in estate planning documents - wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and living wills - plus employment agreements and entertainment law contracts. These days I'm based in New York City, but I work with clients nationwide on contract matters. What I love most about this work is taking complex business relationships and turning them into documents that actually make sense and protect everyone involved. Whether you're a startup founder needing your first operating agreement or an established business updating your contractor templates, I focus on creating contracts that work in the real world, not just on paper. After three decades of practice, I still get excited about a well-crafted contract. Let's talk about how I can help with yours.
"Randy was amazing with us! He communicated efficiently and answered any pending concerns we had. Our prenup was delivered on time and just what we were looking for. Would recommend to anyone for their various needs!"

Landlord Tenant Legal Questions and Answers
Landlord Tenant
Lease Agreement
New York
Can the landlord terminate the lease early?
I am currently renting a property and I am concerned about the possibility of the landlord terminating the lease early. I am wondering what circumstances would allow the landlord to terminate the lease before the end of the agreed-upon term, and what my rights and options would be if this were to happen. I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to help me understand the legal implications and potential outcomes of this situation.
Donya G.
It will depend on what your lease states. You will need someone to review your lease and then advise you based on what the contract allows. It is not typical that a landlord to end the lease early unless there is a break on the tenants portion but this would all depend on the signed lease. If you need assistance with that, you can engage my services to assist you Donya

Rental Lease Agreement
Texas
Can a landlord change the terms of a rental lease agreement without the tenant's consent?
I recently signed a rental lease agreement for an apartment, which clearly outlined the terms and conditions of the tenancy. However, my landlord has informed me that they intend to make changes to the lease agreement, specifically regarding an increase in rent and modifications to the maintenance responsibilities. I am concerned about the legality of these changes and whether a landlord can unilaterally alter the terms of a rental lease agreement without obtaining the tenant's consent.
Lorraine C.
As with most legal questions, the answer is "it depends." Without reviewing the original lease, I can't know if there is a reservation of rights for the landlord to increase rent or change maintenance responsibilities without amending the lease or obtaining additional consent. If you would like me to review the lease for you to provide a more solid answer, please feel free to contact me. Lorraine Coats, Esq.

Residential Lease Agreement
North Carolina
What is a residential lease agreement?
I am looking to move to a new apartment and need to know the details of a residential lease agreement. I am familiar with the basics of a lease, but want to make sure I understand all the details of what I am signing. I am also interested in understanding what my rights and responsibilities are as a tenant.
N'kia N.
A residential lease agreement is sometimes referred to as a "residential rental agreement," a "rental agreement," a "residential lease," a "lease agreement," or simply a "lease." It is a legal contract between a landlord and a tenant that details the terms and conditions of the tenancy, including the rights and responsibilities of each party. Every U.S. state has laws regarding the rights and responsibilities of residential landlords and tenants. For example, North Carolina's "Residential Rental Agreement Act" can be found in Chapter 42 of the North Carolina General Statutes. Generally, a residential tenant has the right to possess (or occupy) the property, the right to quiet (or peaceful) enjoyment of the property, and the right to the property being fit and habitable. In exchange, a residential tenant is responsible for paying a rental fee (in full and when due), not damaging the property, and keeping the property safe and sanitary. However, a residential lease agreement may grant additional rights to and/or impose additional responsibilities upon a tenant, so long as neither conflict with the law. For example, a landlord might provide a tenant access to a business center, a clubhouse, or an exercise room but might charge a fee for said access. For another example, one landlord may prohibit pets, one may allow pets but charge no fee, and another may allow pets and charge a fee. Last, not everything stated in a residential lease agreement is necessarily enforceable. Having an attorney review a lease before signing it can help clarify the rights and responsibilities of the landlord and the tenant, which can also help avoid confusion and conflict later on.

Residential lease agreement for short-term rentals?
I am a homeowner in the state of California who is considering renting out my house on a short-term basis. I am interested in understanding the legal implications of such an arrangement, particularly in regards to the lease agreement that would need to be drafted. I would like to know what provisions I should include in the lease agreement to protect my interests and ensure that I am compliant with the law.
Merry K.
I think you need to post this as a CA question, not as a WA question. However, your first step is checking government and HOA rules, if any and make sure that this is allowed. You will need to change your insurance and possibly add another policy specifically for short term rentals. Let me know if I can ever be of help with WA State legal questions!

Building Lease
Ohio
Can a landlord terminate a building lease before the agreed-upon end date?
with background: 'Can a landlord legally terminate a building lease before the agreed-upon end date? I signed a lease for a commercial space for my small business, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the landlord has informed me that they want to terminate the lease early. I am concerned about the potential financial and operational impacts this may have on my business and want to understand my rights and options in this situation.
Michelle M.
The answer to your question is contained in the lease. All rights and obligations of parties to a commercial lease are controlled by and provided for within the lease. If your lease provides for early termination by the landlord, then the landlord can exercise that option. If it doesn't provide for early termination and you are in compliance with the lease, then they can't terminate early (at least not without your consent). You should retain a local attorney who can review the lease and provide advice concerning your specific situation. Best of luck!
