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.
"Excellent experience with Tim on my relatively complex EULA for a suite of network appliance products. Tim was very fair with pricing, responsive, diligent, thorough, technically knowledgeable, took the time to address all my questions and concerns, and finished (with revision) on schedule and budget.

Compliance Agreement
New York
Can I be held liable for a fraudulent eCommerce transaction on my website?
I recently started an eCommerce business where I sell various products online. However, I recently had a customer who claimed that their credit card was fraudulently used on my website to make a purchase. While I have implemented security measures, I am concerned about the potential liability I may face if this customer decides to take legal action against me. I want to understand my legal responsibilities and potential liabilities in such a situation.
Damien B.
As an eCommerce business in the US, you must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). These standards outline best practices for securely processing and storing credit card information. Non-compliance can increase liability. In New York, the Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security Act requires businesses to implement reasonable safeguards to protect private information, including credit card data. Even small businesses must comply, although they are subject to less stringent standards. Internationally, there could be other laws: the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union law that regulates how companies and individuals handle personal data. An attorney can review your processes to identify and mitigate legal risks.

Data Breach Policy
Texas
What legal steps should I take in response to a data breach?
I work for a small e-commerce company that recently experienced a data breach, resulting in the potential exposure of customer information, including names, addresses, and payment details. We have already taken immediate actions to contain the breach, notify affected customers, and engage with a cybersecurity firm to investigate the incident and improve our security measures. However, I am now looking for legal guidance on what steps we should take to comply with applicable data breach laws, mitigate any potential legal consequences, and protect our company's interests going forward.
Jennifer B.
It sounds as though you have already taken the immediate actions mandated under Texas law. If you have customers in other states, you must adhere to the notification laws of each relevant state. This may involve notifying state attorneys general, credit reporting agencies, and affected individuals within specified time frames. To minimize potential legal repercussions, your company should diligently document all actions taken in response to the breach, including the steps taken to contain the breach, the notifications sent, and the measures implemented to prevent future incidents. Engaging with a cybersecurity firm, as you’ve done, is a commendable step towards demonstrating your dedication to data security and compliance with legal obligations. To safeguard your company’s interests in the future, conduct a comprehensive review of your data security policies and practices. Implementing additional security measures, such as training employees on data protection and regularly updating your security protocols, can help prevent future breaches and reduce liability. Consulting with legal counsel specializing in data privacy and security can provide tailored advice and ensure ongoing compliance with evolving data breach laws.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
