Michelle T.
I am an experienced, well-rounded attorney with a background specializing in trusts and estates, contracts and business law. I have extensive experience working with simple contracts all the way up to multi-million dollar deals.
"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 Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing.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!"

Randy M.
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 did an excellent job reviewing our Nanny Agreement. He brought up issues we wouldn't have thought of otherwise. Highly recommend for his thoroughness and responsiveness!"

Note Payable
Virginia
I loaned money to a 5013c organization, I want a lawyer to look over the contract, worried about them defaulting on it
I am worried about a 5013c organization defaulting on a promissary note, they do not seem to have their act together, want to have a lawyer look over the promissary note and get advice on what happens if they default on it
Donya G.
Sure. I take it they have not yet signed as yet? You can draft the agreement with some protections to ensure payment; however, you need to keep in mind that payment will always be contingent on whether they have money to pay or not. I am a contracts attorney and if you you would like my services, you can contact me on the contracts counsel website, or post your job on the website and attorneys will respond to your job.

Contractor Agreement
Texas
How to handle breaches in a contractor agreement?
I am currently working with a contractor to complete a project for my business. We have agreed to a contract and have been working together for the past few months. Recently, I have noticed that the contractor is not meeting the requirements of the contract and I would like to know how to handle these breaches in a contractor agreement.
Michelle T.
Great question. First, you want to read your contract very carefully to see if the actions are in fact a violation of its terms, sometimes there can be flexibility in the provisions with regard to timelines and so forth. If there is in fact a breach, make sure you keep accurate documentation of the violations. Often times, a well written letter to the other party listing their obligations under the contract and how they have breached those violations is enough to get them to change their behavior. If not, you have the option to ask the court to enforce the agreement or require the breaching party to compensate you for any damages.

Royalty Agreement
Washington
Is it possible to negotiate the terms of a royalty agreement for my creative work?
I am an independent artist who recently received an offer from a publishing company to use my artwork for merchandising purposes. They have provided me with a royalty agreement, but I am unsure about some of the terms and whether they are fair. I believe that my artwork has significant commercial potential, and I want to ensure that I am adequately compensated for its use. Therefore, I am seeking legal advice on whether it is possible to negotiate the terms of the royalty agreement to better protect my interests and maximize my potential earnings.
Merry K.
I do not consider myself an expert in this area, but a royalty agreement is a type of contract, and there are several things for you to know about contracts in general. In no particular order: 1. The terms of any contract can be negotiated; 2. Any time a company hands someone any type of contract the company wrote, almost all terms will favor the company and not the other party signing the contract; and 3. Any time one is considering signing a contract for any type of real value, it's best to have a contracts attorney review the contract, advise you, and help you negotiate terms that are more favorable to you. (I'm not trying to push work for attorneys - I'm suggesting this to protect you). If you were signing a contract to have a kid mow your lawn once a week, you typically would not need an attorney - but for something like this, you were wise to ask questions. You can find contracts attorneys through wsba.org, and looking through the Directory under "contracts" or of course through ContractsCounsel.com. Whatever attorney you hire for a consultation, review, advice, or negotiation for something so important, please be sure to look into the attorney's reviews, education, experience, etc, just like you would for any other "expensive employee." Good luck to you, and I wish you every success. As a PS, this type of contract is outside my wheelhouse - just posted these comments to try and be of help to you. Best, Merry

Podcast Contract
Georgia
Can a podcast contract restrict the host from starting a new podcast after the termination of the current one?
I am a podcast host who is currently under contract with a podcast network, and I am considering starting a new podcast once my current contract ends. However, I am unsure if the contract I signed prohibits me from doing so, as it contains clauses about exclusivity and non-compete agreements. I would like to know if it is legally permissible for the network to restrict me from starting a new podcast after the termination of the current one, and what steps I can take to ensure my rights are protected in this situation.
Jerome L.
1. Post-Termination Non-Compete Clauses It is legally possible for a contract to include a post-termination non-compete, but these are subject to limitations. Courts generally look at: Duration (e.g., 6–12 months) Geographic scope (less relevant for digital content but still noted) Scope of restriction (e.g., same topic, format, or competing platforms) If the restriction is overly broad—like prohibiting you from podcasting at all—it may be unenforceable depending on your state’s laws. 2. Exclusivity Clauses (During the Contract) Many podcast contracts prohibit hosting or producing other shows during the term. That’s typical. The issue becomes: does the language extend after the agreement ends? If so, you’ll want to review: Whether it’s a true non-compete How long it lasts If there’s compensation tied to the restriction 3. IP & Ownership Check whether the network claims ownership over: Your host name or likeness The podcast’s brand or concept Past episodes and subscriber lists They may argue that launching a “similar” show is derivative or confusingly similar if they own your original show’s IP. What You Can Do: Review the exact contract language—pay close attention to any clause that mentions exclusivity, non-compete, or “work for hire.” Consult with an attorney (I’d be glad to assist) to evaluate whether the restrictions are enforceable or negotiable. If you're not yet at the end of the agreement, you may also consider negotiating a clean exit or carve-out for future projects. Let me know if you’d like help reviewing your agreement—I can walk you through what’s enforceable, what’s negotiable, and how to position yourself for creative freedom moving forward.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
