"Harry has been sharp, responsive, and straight with me. He reviewed my waivers and then flagged several issues in my other agreements that were bigger than what I hired him for, instead of just doing the narrow job and moving on. He explained the risks clearly, told me what to hold on and why, and structured a fixed-fee scope that worked with my cash flow rather than pushing me into a monthly plan I wasn't ready for. He also brought in outside specialist counsel where it made sense instead of stretching past his own expertise. Easy to recommend."

Tim E.

Founding Member/Attorney
Free Consultation
Cleveland, OH
12 Yrs 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.
