Chaz G.
As a former corporate attorney at one of the world's premier global law firms and former in-house counsel at Texas Instruments, a Fortune 500 technology leader, I bring big-firm expertise and corporate-level sophistication to entrepreneurs, startups, and small business owners who deserve the same quality legal support as the largest companies in the world. As a lawyer and startup founder with products currently being sold in national retail chains, I've spent my career at the intersection of complex business transactions, corporate law, and policy. I know how deals get done, where contracts go wrong, and how to protect businesses before problems arise. Now, I put that experience to work for founders and business owners who need practical, straightforward legal guidance without the intimidating price tag of a major law firm. Whether you're signing your first vendor contract, structuring a partnership, protecting your intellectual property, or navigating a business dispute, I translate the law into plain language so you can make confident decisions and focus on growing your business. What I bring to the table: - Complex commercial transactions experience at an AmLaw 100 firm - 7+ years as in-house counsel at a Fortune 500 company - Deep understanding of how businesses actually operate day-to-day - Flat-fee, transparent pricing with no billing surprises - Fast turnaround and direct communication If you're building something, I want to help you protect it.
"Chaz was extremely helpful, thorough, and professional. I hired him for a cease and desist letter involving an unauthorized use of my company’s business identity, EIN, and credit. He took the time to review the documents carefully, explain the legal issues in plain English, and help me understand the strengths and challenges of my situation. What stood out most was how organized he was. He prepared a legal analysis memo before our call, walked me through the authority issues, and adjusted his approach after reviewing additional company documents. He was patient, clear, and never made me feel rushed, even though the situation involved several complicated details. The final work product was strong, detailed, and tailored to my specific facts rather than feeling like a generic template. I would definitely recommend Chaz to anyone who needs a knowledgeable attorney who communicates clearly and takes the time to understand the full picture."

Privacy Policy
New York
Does my Privacy Policy need to address the GDPR?
Same as the CCPA. Should I worry about GDPR given we're a US business?
Ema T.
If you are planning to operate in Europe you will need to address the GDPR. The GDPR is a EU regulation that addresses data protection and privacy of EU residents. It provides specific rights for users located in the EU. These rights should be addressed in your privacy policy and contain additional sections and information laid out for EU residents. Any information provided as an answer to these questions does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship between the attorney and anyone in relation to any information provided under the Q & A section of this website.

Does my Privacy Policy need to address the CCPA?
I have a website and we have customers from across the US.
Ema T.
If you are planning to operate in California, USA it is recomended to address the CCPA. California is the first state in the US to enact a state statute addressing the privacy rights of the state residents (but it is estimated that other states will follow). The CCPA provides specific rights for users located in CA, those include the right to know what personal data is being collected, whether this data is disclosed or sold to any 3rd party, (and to disagree to the sale), the right to access their personal data, request a deletion of their information, and more. These rights should be addressed in your privacy policy and contain additional sections and information laid out for CA residents. Any information provided as an answer to these questions does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship between the attorney and anyone in relation to any information provided under the Q & A section of this website.

When do you recommend I draft a custom Privacy Policy for my site?
I downloaded a free privacy policy and we are starting to get more users on our site. I am not sure when I would need to draft something custom.
Ema T.
The Privacy Policy should be located on your website from the moment your website is "up in the air" therefore it is recommended to contact a lawyer to draft it at least 2 weeks prior to the launching of the website. The privacy policy provides information to visitors of the website on the operators of the website collect, use, store and protect the personal data of the visitors. Personal data can be information provided by the users (personal and financial is most common) or information collected automatically such as IP. Each privacy policy should be tailored to the specific website or app. Any information provided as an answer to these questions does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship between the attorney and anyone in relation to any information provided under the Q & A section of this website. it is being used because the exact content of the privacy policy is dependent upon the function of the site that it relates to, the information it gathered, and how it is being used. An important note about PP is that certain countries and states have specific rules regarding the use of their residence data and those should be addressed in your PP if you are planning to operate in these areas.

Is agreeing to a ToS the same as signing a contract?
I would like to learn if opt ins to website agreements are the same as signing a contract.
Ema T.
Terms of service can be a binding contract (if your terms of service are not binding they are basically useless). In most cases, if a user had actual or constructive notice that the use of the service is subject to the terms of service and the user has accepted the terms of service online then those terms of service will become a contract just as if the user has physically signed it. If however, after signing electronically the user is also required to sign a physical copy to become a customer the physical copy will usually prevail. Any information provided as an answer to these questions does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship between the attorney and anyone in relation to any information provided under the Q & A section of this website.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
