"Faryal did exactly what she said she'd do and was on-time and didn't charge more than she quoted. The document she provided was excellent, if a little dense and hard to use for non-legal folks."

"Sunnita was very prompt with clear revisions showing what needed to be updated and explaining why. Also, she made sure my documents weren't generalized, but fit Georgia's laws and are specific enough to hold up in court. All of my questions were answered and she stayed in communication with the message feature. I really appreciated that she didn't try to overcharge me for her service. I'll use her for my projects going forward, great experience."

Licensed in OH
Cleveland State University College of Law

I am a business attorney focused on providing practical, targeted legal services for small businesses, startups, contractors, consultants, and service providers. I help clients efficiently review, draft, and improve everyday business contracts, including service agreements, NDAs, independent contractor agreements, vendor contracts, commercial leases, and purchase documents. My approach is straightforward: identify the terms that matter, explain risks in plain English, and deliver clear, usable edits or drafts without unnecessary complexity. I regularly handle fixed-fee, quick-turnaround projects such as contract reviews, agreement drafting, and demand or termination letters. While I offer streamlined, project-based services for routine matters, I can also assist with broader business legal needs as they arise.

"Excellent experience with Tim on my relatively complex EULA for a suite of network appliance products. Tim was very fair with pricing, responsive, diligent, thorough, technically knowledgeable, took the time to address all my questions and concerns, and finished (with revision) on schedule and budget. Great experience overall and I'll definitely be using Tim for more work in the future with my business. I'll also be using Contract Counsel and recommending it to everyone I know as well! THANK YOU! -Devin"

"I hired Daehoon to review and redline a founder separation and IP purchase agreement. As a solo technical founder with no in-house counsel, I needed someone who could work independently, and he did. He delivered on the promised date with a clear memo, redlines, a clean draft, and the closing documents. His structure was substantially better than mine, with stronger payment and escrow protections, and he flagged legal risks I had missed. He stayed within the flat fee. I would hire him again."

Hi, I'm a first time author and I have contract from a legit publisher in the UK. My editor,(also in publishing) marke it up a little with his concerns, for you. Although you would have caught it.

"I was very pleased with all the work Sara S. did as she knew both very technical details about the contract and also had good strategic ideas. One might want to ask how long the project might take, but in some ways that's largely up to you, like how many changes are your requesting and what do you want her to look at. For the flat fee, we got a lot done. And she has expertise in many areas if you look at her reviews, but it also doesn't hurt that she did a book with a hybrid publisher (one that you have to submit your book - one who I actually spoke to at one point, and they have to choose you.) All in all I think I think we covered quite a bit for the flat fee."
