Khari P.
I’m a New York-based attorney with over 20 years of experience, working at the intersection of litigation and transactional law. I help individuals and businesses create solid legal documents — prenups, contracts, leases, and more — with an eye toward clarity, fairness, and long-term protection. As a litigator, I’ve seen firsthand how vague or one-sided agreements can lead to unnecessary disputes, court battles, and financial stress. That perspective shapes the way I draft and review documents: I build them to stand up, not just get signed. Whether you’re preparing for marriage, launching a business, or resolving a dispute, I bring a practical, client-first approach rooted in legal insight and lived experience. Clients appreciate that I explain the law in plain language, respect their time, and tailor every solution to fit their goals — not just the paperwork. Let’s make sure you’re protected — not just on paper, but in real life.

Venue Rental Agreement
New York
Can the venue owner change the terms of a rental agreement after it has been signed?
I recently signed a venue rental agreement to host an event at a popular event space in town. The agreement clearly stated the rental fee, duration, and other terms. However, a few days later, the venue owner contacted me and informed me that they had made changes to the agreement and that I would now be responsible for additional fees and restrictions. I'm wondering if the venue owner has the right to change the terms of the rental agreement after it has been signed, and if not, what actions can I take to ensure that the original terms are honored?
Damien B.
Generally, neither party can unilaterally change or modify the terms of an agreement once both parties sign it. The only way is if a contract provision states that one party can modify the terms of the agreement without the consent of the other party. You would want to review the agreement to verify exactly what it says. If there is no provision that a party can unilaterally change the agreement or certain terms of the agreement, then there could be a possible claim for breach of contract if one of the parties refuses to honor it as it is written. An option is to file a lawsuit now to have a judge declare that the other party must abide by the terms of the agreement as is.

Promissory Note
New York
Breach of contract: Promissory note
Someone owe my money which he took as a loan signing a promissory note. He moved out of Syracuse, NY and know that he is living in the state of Ohio. How can I sue him to collect $7,286? Please help.
Donya G.
Does your promissory note talk about what happens if he doesn't pay? Does the law of NY apply to your agreement? If so, you can sue in NY court. In order to get a firm answer on what to do, I would need to review the promissory note and see what it says. You can connect with me and engage my services through Contracts Counsel. Donya Gordon

Employee Benefits Agreement
New York
Do you take cases for unemployment overpayment benefits?
In 2020 during covid my business was forced to shut down. I was also working, I had a job and I owned an event planning business. before filing for UI I called in to ensure I was able to file for the PUA for my business. I was told by the representative yes I can. in her words she said "anyone can apply for the PUA" she did not explained to me that I cannot apply if I had another job, or what the conditions were, as I have never filed for or been on unemployment in my life until covid happened. In september 2022 I received a letter stating that I was overpaid benefits in the amount of $62000. I filed for a weaver which I was not qualified for, then I appealed and the judge ordered a recalculation and that amount went from $62K to $58K. I cannot pay this money and I need help in fighting that this was not my fault. My taxes will be garnished every year until this is paid off. I am hoping someone out there can be of assistance to me, I really need it.
Donya G.
Hello, I am sorry for the mix up. I worked with a client last year with similar circumstances. She was overpaid as well. We had a hearing and it was determined, since she had never filed before and English is not her first language that she had not done it intentionally so that fine on the payment was removed. That being said, if you were overpaid, you will need to repay the amount. She signed up on a payment plan. I suggest you do the same. If you need to engage my services to assist you, you can find me on Contracts Counsel website or my personal page Regards Donya Gordon
