Michael M.
www.linkedin/in/michaelbmiller I am an experienced contracts professional having practiced nearly 3 decades in the areas of corporate, mergers and acquisitions, technology, start-up, intellectual property, real estate, employment law as well as informal dispute resolution. I enjoy providing a cost effective, high quality, timely solution with patience and empathy regarding client needs. I graduated from NYU Law School and attended Rutgers College and the London School of Economics as an undergraduate. I have worked at top Wall Street firms, top regional firms and have long term experience in my own practice. I would welcome the opportunity to be of service to you as a trusted fiduciary. In 2022 and 2023, I was the top ranked attorney on the Contract Counsel site based upon number of clients, quality of work and number of 5 Star reviews.

Adam J.
I'm a California-licensed attorney with 18 years of experience helping everyone from Fortune 500 companies and venture-backed startups to individuals navigating real-life legal situations. I bring an high degree of emotional intelligence to every matter, and am also certified as both a coach and as a counselor. My career started at Fenwick & West, one of Silicon Valley's top law firms, where I worked alongside names like Google, Airbnb, Kleiner Perkins, and Sequoia Capital. From there I moved in - house at companies like Cloudflare, Autodesk, and Enphase - which gave me a practical, business-minded perspective that I bring to every client, no matter the size of the matter. Today I work with businesses and individuals alike. On the business side, that means commercial contracts, leases, startup corporate work, and serving as a fractional general counsel for companies that need a trusted legal partner without the overhead. On the personal side, I help individuals with employment matters, disputes, demand letters, contract review, and the kind of everyday legal situations where you just need someone knowledgeable in your corner. I'm direct, responsive, and I speak plain English — not legalese. Whether you're a founder closing your first deal or an individual facing a situation you've never navigated before, I'll give you the same level of attention and care.
"Excellent experience with Adam who was very quick, responsive, yet thorough in completing my project. Highly recommend!"

I help founders and business owners set up core contracts, deal documents, and ownership terms so they can form companies, close business sales, bring in partners, and launch products without expensive surprises later. I focus on LLC and corporation formations and operating/shareholder agreements, business sales, founder and partner arrangements (including buyouts and separations), commercial contracts (NDAs, MSAs, privacy policies), and IP/SaaS ownership and licensing tied to those deals.

Carver F.
I'm the principal attorney at FarrowLaw PC, a California business and commercial law firm based in Long Beach. My practice covers transactional work, employment law, litigation, and day-to-day advisory matters for business clients — essentially, I help companies make clear-eyed decisions about risk, contracts, and strategy without the usual legal hedging. Before law, I trained in computer science and worked in-house at technology companies, which gives me a working fluency in how tech businesses actually operate. A significant portion of my practice involves representing tech and startup clients, where that background lets me engage with technical realities rather than abstract them away. If you're working with a client who needs a practical California business lawyer — particularly one who speaks the language of tech — I'd welcome the introduction.

As a lawyer with a background in contract drafting and litigation, I created this template settlement agreement to help you formalize a resolution to a legal dispute. I also have legal services packages set up if you need additional help with the template (i.e., reviewing it after you filled it out, needing help filling it out, etc.).
Overview of the Template Simple Promissory Note
You can use my template simple promissory note to memorialize a loan agreement, or to borrow money (with or without interest). My simple promissory note lays out all the relevant terms, rights and obligations of the loan, from the amount of the loan itself to the agreed-upon repayment plan.
For context, a proper promissory note should include information such as the amount and date of the loan, the names of the parties (i.e., the lender and borrower), the interest rate on the loan and its beginning date. Your promissory note should also describe how the loan will be paid (e.g., in installments of principal and interest, in installments of interest only, in one lump sum on a specific date, due on demand, etc.).
What is Included in the Template Simple Promissory Note?
My template simple promissory note contains key provisions to help formalize the terms of the loan. For example, my template simple promissory note identifies the value to be received by the borrower and the express promise that the borrower will repay the loan to the lender, along with interest at a specified rate.
My template simple promissory note also contains important language about the payment terms, including the need to repay both the principal and accrued interest. This section also details when loan payments are due and the amount to be paid each month. In addition, there are provisions addressing what steps the lender can take in the event the borrower defaults on the loan and which state law governs the promissory note.
All of the provisions in my template settlement agreement are modifiable so it can be used to accommodate any unique aspects of the loan agreement. I’ve also included recommended language that can be used to fill in specific sections, such as the payment terms.
Who Should Use the Template Simple Promissory Note?
My template simple promissory note was drafted in manner to enable use by any party seeking to formalize a loan agreement, whether that be a lender or borrower.
Benefits of Using the Template Simple Promissory Note
My template simple promissory note was designed for simplicity, clarity, and to be user-friendly. These features can help both the borrower and lender reach an agreement on the parameters of a loan in clear, understandable language.
Having a formalized promissory note is helpful since it memorializes the terms and conditions of the loan agreement and can be used as evidence in the event a legal dispute arises between the borrower and lender.
If there is a legal dispute surrounding the terms of the promissory note, you may need to escalate the matter to litigation. If that situation arises, having an experienced attorney by your side can pay dividends. My legal services are available. If hired, I will be there for you every step of the way, offering clear communication, accurate legal guidance, and proactive solutions.
