Las Vegas, Nevada
14 Yrs Experience
Licensed in NY CA, NV, TX
Western State University College of Law

I am a business attorney and former in-house corporate attorney with more than a decade of experience helping companies navigate contracts, commercial relationships, day-to-day operations, and disputes. My practice includes drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial agreements, licenses, leases, vendor and service agreements, and other business arrangements. Licensed in Nevada, California, New York, and Texas, I also hold an Executive MBA. My goal is to serve as practical, long-term outside counsel to small businesses and entrepreneurs that value responsiveness, sound judgment, and advice grounded in commercial realities - not merely technical legal answers. I handle disputes when necessary, but much of the value I bring lies in identifying issues early, preserving business relationships, and preventing avoidable conflicts. I do not bill separately for routine phone calls. I want clients to feel comfortable calling before a small concern becomes an expensive problem, and I am always happy to have an initial conversation to see if the fit is right for you. www.linkedin.com/in/maxkelner

"Daniel provided an exceptionally thoughtful and thorough analysis of a complex payments and marketplace regulatory issue in the context of a Stripe Connect-enabled online marketplace. He took the time to understand the actual payment architecture and business model rather than providing a generic legal answer, identifying important issues and inconsistencies I had not considered — including inconsistencies between specific provisions of the Terms of Service and the platform’s underlying technical architecture — and explained his conclusions clearly and precisely. His work was extremely detailed, commercially practical, and clearly reflected deep expertise in this area. I came away extremely impressed by both the quality of his analysis and the care he put into the engagement, and I would not hesitate to work with him again."

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
