"Michelle drafted an excellent and unique Post Nuptial agreement which outlines a very specific "process" that will be used to divide assets in the event of divorce. Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing. Michelle rose to the challenge at a very reasonable price. Other, "meter man" attorneys would have charged at least 5x more. I highly recommend Michelle!"

Hi, I'm Randy, and I've been practicing law for over 30 years with a genuine passion for contracts and legal drafting. I spent nearly 15 years running my own solo practice in Richmond, Virginia, where I built a thriving firm helping everyone from small business owners to entertainment professionals navigate their legal needs. Those years taught me that great contracts aren't just about covering all the bases legally - they're about understanding what my clients actually need and translating that into clear, enforceable agreements. My sweet spot is contract drafting across a wide range of areas. I've written hundreds of LLC operating agreements (both single and multi-member), prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, residential and commercial leases, independent contractor agreements, service contracts, NDAs, consulting agreements, and corporate formation documents. I also have extensive experience in estate planning documents - wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and living wills - plus employment agreements and entertainment law contracts. These days I'm based in New York City, but I work with clients nationwide on contract matters. What I love most about this work is taking complex business relationships and turning them into documents that actually make sense and protect everyone involved. Whether you're a startup founder needing your first operating agreement or an established business updating your contractor templates, I focus on creating contracts that work in the real world, not just on paper. After three decades of practice, I still get excited about a well-crafted contract. Let's talk about how I can help with yours.

"Randy was very thorough and asked plenty of follow-up questions to make sure he created the contract I needed exactly as I needed it. He worked quickly and gave updates along the way as he drafted the document for me. I would definitely work with him again."

Employment Legal Questions and Answers

Employment Agreement

Florida

Asked on Sep 2, 2021

Can an employer fire an employee while the employee out on sick leave

I am out on sick leave. can I resign my job?

Forest H.

Answered Sep 21, 2021

Good morning, Florida is an "at-will" state (with a few limited exceptions). Depending on the size of the employer, you may be subject to FMLA protections. Otherwise, unless there is an employment contract in place, an employee can quit at any time and an employer can fire an employee at any time. Unless the reason for the firing is illegal, such as a protected class or whistleblower protection, you can be fired while on sick leave.

Noncompete Agreement

Connecticut

Asked on Aug 1, 2023

Noncompete agreement and change of control?

I recently accepted a new position with a company that has requested that I sign a noncompete agreement. I understand the agreement and the limitations it puts on me, but I am concerned about how the agreement would be affected if the company is sold or changes ownership in the future. I would like to understand my legal rights in the event of a change of control.

Thomas L.

Answered Aug 4, 2023

If the future company buys the equity of your current employer, the Non-Compete continues in effect. If the future company buys the assets, the Non-Compete is terminated. I would request a sentence be added to the effect that "if there is a change of control of the Company (meaning more than 50% of the equity interest or 50% of the voting equity control) is sold or transferred, then this Non-Compete Agreement is terminated.

Employment Handbook

Washington

Asked on Aug 10, 2023

Employment handbook employee rights?

I am an employee of a company and I recently received a copy of the Employment Handbook that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the employees. After reading through the handbook, I am concerned that some of the policies may not be in compliance with the law. I want to make sure that my rights as an employee are being respected and that I am fully aware of any legal obligations that I may have.

Merry K.

Answered Aug 18, 2023

Hello - I have been an attorney for nearly 38 years and specialize in employment law. It would be helpful to know what policies concern you, but be aware that federal and state law, and usually county and city as well, override any policies that are incorrect. Meanwhile, keep in mind that if you are an "at will" employee you have few, if any rights (other than certain ones protected by law); that sometimes employers don't keep up with updating their polices; and that HR is not your friend. If you feel your rights are not being respected, you may want to book a 30 or 60 minute consultation with a WA State Employment attorney. If you feel you have been or are being discriminated against because of a protected class status, you can also file discrimination complaints with the WA State Human Rights Commission and/or the EEOC. If you are not getting the wages you should be receiving, you can file a wage complaint with the state; you will be protected from retaliation for doing so. If you feel your working conditions are unsafe, you can file a complaint with the WA State equivalent of OSHA, and/or with OSHA (federal). Best wishes, Merry

Equal Employment Opportunity Policy

California

Asked on May 22, 2025

Can I file an EEOC complaint for workplace discrimination based on my disability?

I have been working at my current job for several years and recently I have been facing discrimination from my supervisor due to my disability. Despite providing all necessary documentation and accommodations, my supervisor has been consistently undermining my work, excluding me from important meetings, and making derogatory comments about my disability. I am now considering filing an EEOC complaint, but I am uncertain about the process and if I have a strong case.

Christopher N.

Answered Jul 1, 2025

Short answer: Yes. There are some siginficant deadlines (180 days and up to 300 days) you will need to meet, forms to fill out, and a venue to choose (California law vs. Federal law). Without more specific it is difficult to give you specifics, Thus, given the deadlines and the specifics of your case, I HIGHLY recommend you speak with an employment lawyer very quickly to fully understand where you in the timline, what you will need to prove, and where to file -- and more importantly, if you have a case. Good luck.

Employment Offer

Ohio

Asked on Jul 27, 2025

Can an employer rescind a job offer after it has been accepted?

I recently went through the interview process for a job and received a verbal offer, which I accepted. However, a week later, the employer contacted me to rescind the offer, citing budgetary constraints. I had already given notice at my current job and now find myself unemployed. I would like to know if the employer has the legal right to rescind the offer after it has been accepted and if I have any recourse in this situation.

Gary S.

Answered Sep 8, 2025

Hello and thank you for the opportunity to respond to this very important question. Here’s is a general breakdown of the situation from a legal perspective: 1. Is a verbal job offer binding? General rule: Employment in most U.S. states is “at-will.” This means either the employer or the employee may terminate the employment relationship at any time, for almost any reason, unless a contract specifies otherwise. A verbal job offer can sometimes create a contract if its terms are clear and definite (position, compensation, start date, etc.), but enforcing it is often difficult—especially if it’s for at-will employment. Courts usually distinguish between "an enforceable contract" (rare in at-will employment unless specific promises are made) and "a preliminary negotiation" (not enforceable). 2. Legal claims that might be available You likely do not have a straightforward breach of contract claim unless there was a definite term of employment promised (e.g., “we guarantee you 12 months of work at X salary”). However, there are a couple of possible avenues: Promissory Estoppel (Reliance): If you reasonably relied on the promise of employment (e.g., quit a stable job, relocated, incurred expenses), and suffered damages as a result, some courts allow recovery under promissory estoppel. This doesn’t force the employer to hire you, but may entitle you to compensation for losses caused by reliance. Fraud / Misrepresentation: If the employer knew at the time of the offer that there was no budget (or never intended to hire), you might argue fraudulent inducement. This is difficult to prove but can apply in bad-faith scenarios. State Law Protections: A few states have stronger protections for employees in this position. For example, California courts have sometimes allowed damages for reliance even when employment is at-will. Other states may not. 3. Practical considerations If the employer rescinded the offer quickly due to genuine budget issues, courts often see that as within the scope of at-will employment. However, since you gave notice and are now unemployed, "promissory estoppel" may be the most viable theory. The potential recovery is generally limited to the losses incurred (e.g., lost wages during the unemployment period, moving expenses), not the value of the job itself. You may also want to explore negotiating severance-type compensation from the employer as a goodwill measure (sometimes companies will do this to avoid litigation or reputational harm). Disclaimer: This response is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is created by this communication. Laws vary by jurisdiction, and you should consult with a qualified attorney in your area for advice regarding your specific situation.
