"Mike did strong, thoughtful work on our contractor IP assignment and was clear about the tradeoffs on worker classification. Revisions were handled well and all within the flat fee. Only knock is responsiveness, there were a few multi-day gaps and I had to follow up to keep things moving. Would still recommend for the quality of the drafting."

"Heather did outstanding work reviewing our sponsor-facing contract templates. Her memo was thorough and practical, with clear explanations, specific replacement language, and a negotiation guide we'll use for years. She caught issues we had missed and turned everything around remarkably fast, including clean tracked-change redlines on all four documents. Highly recommended for life sciences and commercial contract work."

"Alton was responsive, thorough, and clear. He reviewed a consulting agreement against my prior employer’s restrictive covenants under two states’ law, delivered a practical risk memo and a redline I could send as is, and caught an issue I hadn’t asked about. Flat fee, on time, no surprises."

Max K.

Attorney, Executive MBA
Free Consultation
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

"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."

Attorney

Houston, Texas
3 Yrs Experience
Licensed in NY DC, WA
Wayne State University

July 29, 2023 My name is Diamond Simpson Roberts, ESQ, MSPH and I am convinced that I can be a value added asset to most any company. As the first in my family to graduate a four-year university, I graduated from Wayne State University Law School in 2000 but could not afford a bar prep course upon completion. After over 20 years, I sat for the July 2022 UBE, successfully passed and am currently licensed in three states! This is an example of my self-motivation, internal drive and passion. I offer over 28 years of diverse experience in healthcare, strategy, sales/marketing, legal/policy and business savvy. I have many years building, leveraging, and sustaining long term relations to drive revenue as an entrepreneur and for corporations. My analytical strengths provide me with an innate ability to think through tough situations/topics while viewing both vantage points (which is excellent for law and life). I have been appointed to serve on numerous committees due to my heightened ability to identify client issues and priorities and provide solutions based upon relevant products, services and needs. I have led teams with and without authority; specifically, I have managed teams for an Adult Foster Care Facility called Etonne Cares, during my post-graduate fellowship with the largest Catholic Healthcare System in the U.S. and during my two-year executive order appointment with the Federal Government (Presidential Management Fellowship). Most importantly, I am a collaborative team player who knows how to improvise, overcome and adapt! I offer numerous years of being a pharmaceutical trainer and being an adjunct using the online platform. I welcome the opportunity to continue in the interview so that I may further highlight the skills I can (and will) contribute to my success in the role. Respectfully, Diamond Simpson Roberts, ESQ, MSPH DQSSIMPSON@GMAIL.COM M: 313-942-6747

Review & Redline Form ADV Part 2A, Portfolio Management Contract, and Financial Planning Agreement

"Michael's credentials and resume are a testament to his expertise, particularly his extensive legal experience and nuanced understanding of financial matters, which were evident in every interaction. He played a crucial role in preventing me from entering into an agreement that could have gravely jeopardized my financial future, with potential generational consequences. His advice was not just technically sound but delivered with a clarity and urgency that was both impressive and impactful. Interacting with Michael reminded me of watching Winston Wolf from 'Pulp Fiction'—efficient, direct, and incredibly effective. Why hire Michael? The value I received for every dollar spent was extraordinary. To give a sense of the scale, it felt like for every $1 in fees, the practical value returned was over $100—a ratio that signifies exceptional expertise and guidance. This was not just a financial gain for me, but an investment that will benefit my heirs immeasurably. Michael's approach was not just about providing legal advice; it was tailored to my unique situation, demonstrating his ability to adapt his vast knowledge to individual needs. A heartfelt thank you, Michael, for your meticulous attention to my case."
