"Morgan delivered far beyond the price point. He didn't just review our investor package — he caught gaps two other reviewers missed (including a top-tier venture firm we benchmarked him against), rebuilt the custom documents to professional standard, and added missing closing mechanics we didn't even know we needed: the 83(b) election, escrow instructions, stock assignment. He pushed back on his own client when the documents said otherwise — that's the lawyer you want. §144 analysis citing the 2025 Delaware reform, triple anti-broker-dealer protections, a related-party ARR cap he invented on his own — depth you'd expect at five times the fee, closed out with a proper written memo on firm letterhead. The timeline ran a bit longer than planned in places, but the result was more than worth it: every item closed, every question answered, the whole package consistent and ready to sign. Very happy overall — would hire again, and our next project is already queued."

Prenuptial Agreements I represent clients in the preparation and review of prenuptial agreements. My experience includes drafting comprehensive prenuptial agreements on behalf of the initiating fiancé, ensuring that the agreement accurately reflects the client's financial interests, assets, liabilities, and objectives while complying with applicable legal requirements. I also represent the non-drafting fiancé by conducting a thorough review of proposed prenuptial agreements, identifying legal and financial issues, explaining the rights and obligations created by the agreement, recommending revisions where appropriate, and negotiating modifications to help protect my client's interests before execution. Probate Administration Represented a client in the complete administration of a California probate estate valued at approximately $1 million. Successfully handled the matter from the initial petition through final distribution, preparing all required court filings, advising the executor throughout the administration, resolving probate requirements, and obtaining court approval to close the estate. Achieved the successful distribution of the estate assets to the executor and sole beneficiary in accordance with California probate law.

Jennifer G.

Business, Contract & Estate Planning Attorney
Houston, Texas
5 Yrs Experience
Licensed in TX
South Texas College of Law Houston, Houston, Texas

Business and estate planning attorney with 12 years in law — five as licensed counsel, plus seven as a law clerk and legal assistant before that. I draft and review business contracts, form LLCs and corporations, and build wills, trusts, and estate plans. Two things make my work different. Alongside my JD I hold an LLM in Wealth Management and have passed the Series 65 (Uniform Investment Adviser Law Exam), so I understand the tax and financial mechanics behind a document, not just its language — the same rigor I've applied to trust and entity structures for families with $100M+ in assets goes into a single NDA review. And I spent years in civil litigation defending insurers and their insureds, so I know which clauses actually get fought over, and I draft with that in mind instead of pasting boilerplate. Flat-fee quotes whenever scope allows. Same-business-day responses. Most single-document projects delivered in 1–3 business days, with a plain-English summary of what I changed and why. Licensed in Texas (Bar No. 24123061) and malpractice insured; available nationwide for contract, business, and commercial matters that don't require state-specific admission. Message me what you're working on and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.

Employment Legal Questions and Answers

Employment

Independent Contractor Agreement

Texas

Asked on Jul 3, 2025

Employee vs. contractor: What are the legal distinctions?

I am a small business owner in the tech industry and I am currently in the process of hiring individuals to work on various projects. I am confused about the legal distinctions between an employee and a contractor and how it may impact my business. I want to ensure that I am classifying workers correctly to avoid any potential legal issues and to understand the rights and responsibilities associated with each classification.

Darryl S.

Answered Aug 15, 2025

This is an important distinction and has both financial and legal implications. Independent contractors do not get overtime, benefits or workers compensation and thus are generally cheaper to hire and easier to fire than an employee who does get these benefits. The IRS and Department of Labor use multi-factor tests examining control, financial aspects, and the relationship's nature—key indicators include whether you provide tools/equipment, set specific hours, integrate the worker into your business operations, or maintain an ongoing relationship versus project-based work. Given the complexity and high stakes of worker classification in the tech industry, where the line between employee and contractor is frequently blurred, I strongly recommend consulting with an employment attorney who can review your specific situation and help establish proper classification procedures. Additionally, consider having workers sign clear agreements that reflect their true working relationship and maintain documentation supporting your classification decisions.

Employment Contract

Florida

Asked on Apr 19, 2023

What's probationary period in an employment contract?

I am a recent college graduate who recently accepted a job offer from a company. As part of the offer, I was asked to sign an employment contract. I understand that the contract includes a probationary period, but I'm not sure what that entails. I would like to know what the probationary period is and what it means for me as an employee.

Diane D.

Answered May 10, 2023

A period of time to evaluate you and to show that you're a good fit for the job and that you are fully qualified for it. At the end of the probationary period, they will either keep you on or terminate you.

Employee Separation Agreement

Texas

Asked on Jun 13, 2023

When to use an employee separation agreement?

I am an employer considering letting an employee go and am looking to understand when an employee separation agreement is necessary. I am unsure of the distinction between an employee separation agreement and other termination documents and want to ensure that I am following the proper protocol and protecting my business in the event of legal action.

Wendy C.

Answered Jul 18, 2023

Separation agreement is usually helpful when separating with an employee amicably and includes other terms that you want to ask of the other party and which you will also make promises. In other words, it is a two-way (or mutual) agreement. A termination letter is most likely a one-way communication, a notice that such employee is being terminated. You should talk to your preferred counsel to discuss facts in detail and make a determination which one will be the right approach.

Employee Separation Agreement

New York

Asked on Jul 18, 2023

Employee separation agreement and outplacement services?

I recently resigned from my job and my employer has presented me with an Employee Separation Agreement. I understand that I am entitled to outplacement services, but I am unclear if this is something that is included in the agreement or if I need to negotiate for it. I am concerned about my future career prospects and would like to ensure I receive the services I am entitled to.

Gregory F.

Answered Aug 1, 2023

I strongly recommend that you have an attorney experienced in severance negotiations review the agreement and advise you. I am licensed in NY and would be happy to do so. Feel free to reach out to me directly at 770-807-0083.
