I'm in general practice with an emphasis on real estate, litigation, and contracts
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 Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing.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 was great! He took the time to review Arizona ROC codes and provide detailed recommendations on what to change or add into my contracts and delivered to me on time. 10/10 would highly recommend."

Employee Rights
Employment Handbook
Connecticut
Employment handbook employee privacy policy?
I recently started a new job and my employer provided me with an Employment Handbook. I have read through the handbook and noticed that there is not a section on employee privacy policies. I'm concerned that the lack of an employee privacy policy could leave me vulnerable to having my personal information shared without my knowledge or consent. I am interested to learn what kind of legal protections I may have in this situation.
Thomas L.
There are numerous state and Federal laws governing your privacy, HIPAA being a notable example, so even if your employer had no handbook at all, your employer would still be subject to all these laws.

Employment Handbook

Employment handbook overtime policy?
I recently accepted a new position with a company and was given an employee handbook to review. I was looking over the overtime policy and noticed that it does not appear to be in compliance with the federal and state laws. I am concerned that the policy could leave me in a difficult position if I were to ever be asked to work overtime, so I am looking for advice and guidance from a lawyer to determine if the policy is legally binding.
Thomas L.
Private contracts, including employee handbooks, cannot change state and Federal law. So in your case, state and Federal law control, regardless of what your employee handbook says.
Employee Rights
Contract for Employment
Kansas
Can an employer fire an employee without giving a reason?
Can an employer terminate an employee's contract without providing a reason, and what are the legal implications for both parties involved? I am concerned because my employer recently terminated a coworker's employment without any explanation, and it has left me worried about the security of my own job. I want to understand the rights and obligations of employers and employees in such situations, and whether it is possible to challenge a termination without cause.
Randy M.
I get why this feels so unfair, but the truth is, in Kansas, your employer really can fire you without giving a reason. That’s what at-will employment means. It sounds harsh, but unless something illegal happened, your coworker’s termination was probably legal. Kansas law gives both the employee and the employer the right to end the working relationship at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all. That’s the default. But that doesn’t mean employers can do whatever they want. There are limits, even here. They can’t fire someone for discriminatory reasons such as race, sex, age (if you’re over 40), disability, religion, pregnancy, military status, or national origin. They also can’t retaliate against someone for reporting illegal activity, filing a workers’ comp claim, serving on a jury, or engaging in other legally protected activities. The thing is, employers rarely admit it when their reasons cross the line. They’ll usually point to performance issues or vague personality conflicts, even if the real reason is discrimination or retaliation. So just because they didn’t give a reason doesn’t mean they’re doing something wrong. But it doesn’t mean they’re not, either. It’s complicated. Now, if there’s any kind of employment contract involved, that changes things. And it doesn’t have to be a formal signed agreement. Even an employee handbook with a discipline policy or verbal promises about job security could create contractual rights under the law. Courts sometimes treat these as implied contracts, especially if the company has a history of following certain termination procedures. That matters because the legal standard shifts. If there’s a contract that says employees can only be fired for cause or that outlines specific steps before termination, the employer has to follow those rules. In that case, you wouldn’t need to prove discrimination or retaliation. You would only need to show that the company broke its own policies. That is often much easier to prove. So the smartest thing you can do right now is go back through the materials you received when you were hired. Look at your employee handbook and see if it mentions progressive discipline, for-cause termination, or any guarantees around job security. Even if the handbook says it does not create a contract, courts will still consider the overall context. Also, keep detailed records. Save emails, document your performance, and write down anything that seems off. If there is a pattern of unfair treatment or if your coworker’s firing did not follow standard company procedures, that documentation could become important. At-will employment gives employers a lot of flexibility, but that flexibility has limits, especially when contracts or protected rights are involved. You're not powerless here. You just need to be prepared, informed, and proactive about understanding your rights and what your employer has promised, whether directly or indirectly. If anything seems questionable, there are places you can turn for help. Both state and federal laws may apply. Federal protections include Title VII, the ADEA, the ADA, and the FMLA. Kansas also offers protections under the Kansas Act Against Discrimination and its wage and hour laws. Agencies like the Kansas Department of Labor, the Kansas Human Rights Commission, and the EEOC can investigate wrongful termination claims. The KHRC requires discrimination complaints to be filed within six months. The EEOC allows 180 days. There is no filing fee with either agency. What happened to your coworker might be perfectly legal. But if anything about it raises red flags or does not line up with the company’s usual practices, it is worth looking into now while you still have time to protect yourself.

Physician Employment Agreement
Texas
Physician employment agreement confidentiality?
I have recently accepted a position as a physician at a new practice and I have been asked to sign an employment agreement. I am interested in understanding what type of confidentiality is required in this agreement, as I do not want to compromise any of the practice's confidential information. I would like to know what the agreement states about confidentiality and what the consequences are for any breach of confidentiality.
Mark D.
This would require a review of the agreement. The typical cost for such a review is $750 but can cost more depending on the complexity of the issues involved.
Employee Rights
Employee Separation Agreement
Florida
Employee separation agreement and non-disparagement clauses?
I recently left my job after working there for five years. My employer asked me to sign a separation agreement that included a non-disparagement clause. I am concerned about the implications of signing such a clause and want to understand my rights and obligations under the agreement.
Daniel D.
It is hard to say what your rights and obligations are under that separation agreement without seeing it as all agreements and the obligations contained within them are different and could impact you in various ways.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
