Gerald W.
My clients know me as more than just an attorney. First and foremost, my background is much broader than that. Prior to attending the Valparaiso University School of Law, I earned a Master of Business Administration and ran a small business as a certified public accountant. Thanks to this experience, I possess unique insight which in turn allows me to better assist my clients with a wide range of business and tax matters today. In total, I have over 20 years of experience in financial management, tax law, and business consulting, and I’m proud to say that I’m utilizing the knowledge I’ve gained to assist the community of Round Rock in a variety of ways. In my current practice, I provide counsel to small to medium-sized businesses, nonprofit organizations, and everyday individuals. Though my primary areas of practice are estate planning, elder law, business consulting, and tax planning, I pride myself on assisting my clients in a comprehensive manner. Whenever I take on a new client, I make an effort to get to know them on a personal level. This, of course, begins with listening. It is important that I fully understand their vision so I can help them successfully translate it into a concrete plan of action that meets their goals and expectations. I appreciate the individual attributes of each client and know firsthand that thoughtful, creative, and customized planning can maximize both financial security and personal happiness. During my time as a certified public accountant, I cultivated an invaluable skill set. After all, while my legal education has given me a deep understanding of tax law, I would not be the tax attorney I am today without my background in accounting. Due to my far-reaching experience, I am competent in unraveling even the most complex tax mysteries and disputes. My CPA training benefits my estate planning practice, too. In the process of drafting comprehensive wills and trusts, I carefully account for every asset and plan for any tax burdens that may arise, often facilitating a much smoother inheritance for the heirs of my clients. Prior to becoming certified as a CPA, I made sure to establish a solid foundation in business both in and out of the classroom, and the acumen I’ve attained has served me well. Not only am I better able to run my own practice than I otherwise would be; I am able to help other small business owners fulfill their dreams, as well.

Terms of Service
Texas
How to include confidentiality in terms of service?
I recently started a business and need to include terms of service for my customers. I want to ensure that all customer data is kept confidential and secure, and am looking for advice on how to include this in the terms of service. I understand the importance of having a well-drafted terms of service to protect my business, and I want to make sure that the terms of service include confidentiality provisions.
J.R. S.
Congratulations on your new business. I am happy to see you are taking the steps to protect your customers, as well as your business. Here is a general list of things for you to consider as a Texas entity: 1. Clear Definition of Confidential Information: This can include customer files, lists, business, marketing, financial or sales record, data, electronic data, program, plan, survey, and any other record or information relating to the present or future business, products, or services. It can also include customer and patient related information that could damage the company if this information were to come into the possession of competitors. 2. Confidentiality Conditions: The terms of service should detail the conditions under which information qualifies as confidential. For instance, the information could be considered confidential if it's disclosed to the recipient, either directly or indirectly, including the identity of customers, consultants, and suppliers. 3. Regulations for Public Access: The terms of service should include regulations to ensure non-discriminatory public access while complying with confidentiality and disclosure protections. 4. Non-Disclosure of Customer Information: The terms of service should state that customers' identities should not be disclosed, even if the trade secret being protected is a customer list. 5. Return of Confidential Information: The terms of service should state that upon termination of the agreement, the recipient is required to return all confidential information. Depending on what your company does, and the type of information that is collected on your customers, there may be more necessary legal disclosures. You can contact me for more details or to set up a private consultation to evaluate your legal disclosures necessary for your industry.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts 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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
