"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 Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing.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.

Note Payable

Virginia

Asked on Sep 15, 2021

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.

Answered Oct 5, 2021

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.

Waiver

Washington

Asked on Sep 10, 2024

Can a waiver signed by a participant in a recreational activity protect the activity organizer from liability for injuries caused by their negligence?

I recently participated in a recreational activity organized by a local company, and before participating, I was required to sign a waiver releasing the company from any liability for injuries. During the activity, I sustained a serious injury due to the organizer's negligence in maintaining the equipment. I am now wondering if the waiver I signed is legally enforceable and if it can absolve the company from responsibility for their negligence, or if I still have grounds to seek compensation for my injuries.

Merry K.

Answered Sep 13, 2024

I am very sorry to hear about your injuries, and wish you a speedy and quick recovery. Many attorneys who practice full-time in personal injury law (I'm not one of them) can overcome a release and waiver. Moreover, it's often possible to go after more than just the company in this type of circumstance - there's the company, but there's also the Board, there are individual employees, and there is the manufacturer of any equipment uses (this would be a products liability matter). In Washington, you have at least a year to sue for personal injury. I recommend that you talk with at least three personal injury attorneys. They will want you to have a time line of the event and all the medical treatment you received, and will want to see all your medical records. You don't need someone in your county - it can be anyone licensed in WA State.

Bill of Sale

Illinois

Asked on Aug 20, 2025

Is a bill of sale necessary for a private vehicle sale?

I recently sold my car privately and did not use a bill of sale, as both parties agreed on the terms verbally and exchanged payment. However, I am now concerned about potential legal issues that may arise from not having a written agreement. I would like to know if a bill of sale is necessary for a private vehicle sale to protect both the buyer and seller.

Randy M.

Answered Sep 6, 2025

A bill of sale is not legally required in every state for a private vehicle sale, but skipping it can lead to unnecessary problems. Whether your state mandates it or not, having a signed bill of sale is one of the simplest ways to protect yourself during and after the sale. It provides written proof of the transaction, including the sale date, purchase price, vehicle identification details, and whether the vehicle was sold “as-is.” If the buyer fails to transfer the title right away or incurs tickets or tolls before doing so, you could still be on the hook unless you have clear documentation showing you sold the car and on what date. While a verbal agreement can be legally enforceable, it’s not enough to protect you if a dispute arises. Let’s say the buyer later claims the car wasn’t in the condition you described, or you’re contacted by law enforcement or a toll agency asking why your plates are still connected to unpaid charges. Without a bill of sale or other written record, it becomes your word against theirs. In contrast, a simple, signed document can resolve that question instantly. That’s why states like New York, Vermont, Montana, and a handful of others require a bill of sale as part of the title transfer process. In states where it’s not legally required, such as California or Texas, the DMV still recommends using one for your own protection. In your situation, where the sale has already taken place, it’s not too late to create a retroactive bill of sale and ask the buyer to sign it. Include the basic facts: date of sale, buyer and seller names and addresses, VIN, odometer reading, sale price, and a short acknowledgment that the car was sold “as-is” without warranties. Most buyers won’t object to signing something that protects them as well. You should also file a release of liability or notice of transfer with your state’s DMV if you haven’t already. This document tells the DMV that you're no longer the owner and helps protect you from liability if the buyer fails to register the car right away. For future transactions, always use a bill of sale, even for low-value vehicles or sales to friends and family. You can find attorney-drafted versions through legal platforms like Contracts Counsel. The time it takes to fill it out is minimal compared to the potential headaches of dealing with a DMV problem or legal dispute down the line. Make sure the buyer transfers the title quickly. Until they do, you might keep getting their tickets and toll bills in the mail, and you'll have to deal with the headache of proving you no longer own the car if any legal issues come up. You may also want to keep a copy of any communications you had with the buyer confirming the sale, such as emails, texts, or a receipt of payment. These won’t replace a formal bill of sale, but they could help support your position if needed. If you encounter resistance from the buyer or complications with the DMV, that’s a good time to speak with an attorney in your state who handles vehicle sales, consumer protection, or civil liability. The attorneys here on Contracts Counsel would be happy to assist you.

Consulting Agreement

Illinois

Asked on Nov 4, 2023

Can I modify a consulting agreement later?

I am a small business owner who recently hired an independent contractor to provide consulting services. We have drafted a consulting agreement that includes the terms of our arrangement, but I am now considering making modifications to the agreement. I am seeking advice from a lawyer to understand the legal implications of modifying the agreement.

Jeff A.

Answered Nov 14, 2023

Hi there, Yes, you can modify a consulting agreement by preparing an amendment, and having both you and the independent contractor sign it. The key is having the contractor first agree to any changes in principle, and then making sure the amendment (1) accurately reflects those changes, and (2) includes other standard language ensuring the continued integrity and enforceability of the original agreement.
