I am a business attorney focused on providing practical, targeted legal services for small businesses, startups, contractors, consultants, and service providers. I help clients efficiently review, draft, and improve everyday business contracts, including service agreements, NDAs, independent contractor agreements, vendor contracts, commercial leases, and purchase documents. My approach is straightforward: identify the terms that matter, explain risks in plain English, and deliver clear, usable edits or drafts without unnecessary complexity. I regularly handle fixed-fee, quick-turnaround projects such as contract reviews, agreement drafting, and demand or termination letters. While I offer streamlined, project-based services for routine matters, I can also assist with broader business legal needs as they arise.

Litigation Legal Questions and Answers

Litigation

C Corp

Ohio

Asked on May 28, 2023

C corp and indemnification?

I am the CEO of a small C Corp. Recently, my company has been sued by a customer for a breach of contract. I am concerned about the potential financial and legal implications of this lawsuit and want to understand the rules and regulations around C Corp and indemnification. In particular, I am interested in understanding how C Corp indemnification works and what I can do to protect myself and my company from liability.

Paul S.

Answered Jun 23, 2023

Depending on the state where the company is incorporated, indemnification of directors and officers may be mandatory. In any case, indemnification only comes into play if this customer has named you personally as a defendant in the lawsuit. If the customer has done so, and you were acting in good faith within your role as a director or officer, the company should pay all your expenses in defending yourself, and any judgment against you if you lose. Of course, you should be hiring an attorney to defend the company (and you, if you are named) in this lawsuit. It's not a good DIY project.

Demand Letter

Georgia

Asked on Sep 16, 2023

Can I draft my own demand letter?

I recently received a letter from a company that I have a dispute with. The letter was a demand for payment of a certain amount of money, and I am not sure if I should respond to the demand or not. I am considering writing a demand letter of my own in response, but I am not sure if I am legally allowed to do so and what the potential consequences could be.

Bobby H.

Answered Oct 20, 2023

Although engaging a lawyer is preferred, there is generally no legal prohibition against a non- lawyer making his/her own demand or respoding to a demand provided you do not threaten violence or bodily harm or use any other language which may give rise to criminal liability. However, if the amount the claim is undisputed, and depending on the type of claim, there are provisions which allow a court to award the person making the claim his/her attorneys fees in addition to the amount of underlying claim if a demand is rejected under circumstances if the case goes to court. Thus, use of an attorney is again advised but generally not legally required.

Contract of Service

California

Asked on Aug 11, 2024

Can a service provider unilaterally modify the terms of a Service Legal Agreement without seeking consent from the customer?

I recently signed up for a service that required me to agree to a Service Legal Agreement, which outlined the terms and conditions of the service. However, after a few months of using the service, the service provider sent out an email stating that they were making significant changes to the Agreement, including increasing fees and reducing the level of service provided. I did not agree to these changes, but the service provider claims that they have the right to modify the Agreement without seeking consent from the customer. I am wondering if this is legally permissible, and if not, what recourse do I have as a customer?

Dolan W.

Answered Sep 17, 2024

Hello! I'm so sorry that this happened to you. To modify a contract legally, the following requirements must be met: All parties to the contract must agree to the modification. This means that both parties must sign and date the amendment to the contract. The parties to the contract need new consideration -- something of legal value -- to modify a contract. For example, if a party wants more money for something they would need to provide additional performance in exchange. A writing is not required for a modification, but it is recommended. If they are making changes to the agreement, then they have to wait until the term is over (e.g. every 30 days) before they can make any changes. Best of luck to you!

Litigation

Demand Letter

Georgia

Asked on Sep 15, 2023

Demand letter before litigation?

I am considering sending a demand letter to a company that I believe has wrongfully taken money from me. I want to know if a demand letter is necessary before I can pursue litigation against them. I have already sent them a letter asking for the money back, but I haven't received a response. I am now considering taking legal action and want to know if a demand letter is necessary before I do so.

Gregory F.

Answered Oct 10, 2023

No, a demand letter is not necessary before filing suit, but a demand letter sent by an attorney can carry more weight and be more effective than one you send on your own. I suggest you consult with an experienced Georgia litigation attorney, such as myself, to discuss your specific situation before deciding on your next steps.

Commercial Lease

Texas

Asked on Apr 14, 2023

What's the survival clause in a commercial lease?

I am looking to enter into a commercial lease for my new business. I am unfamiliar with the terms of a commercial lease, and am particularly interested in understanding the survival clause. This clause is important to me because I want to make sure I am fully aware of my rights and responsibilities as a tenant. I need to know what is expected of me should the lease be terminated prematurely.

Curt L.

Answered Apr 28, 2023

A survival clause is fairly standard in a lease. It extends the effectiveness of certain provisions, such as party representations, warranties, promises, and covenants beyond the expiration or termination of the lease, but not beyond the legally prescribed statute of limitations. For example, If you make a fraudulent representation in a 1-year lease, the other party to the lease who is damaged by your fraud could still sue you for that fraud even after the end of the 1-year lease.

Contracts 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.

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. 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.

I 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.
