How a Professional Training & Coaching Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a Service Agreement in California (2025)

In 2025, a business in California posted a project seeking assistance with a service agreement for doula services. The client, who provides support during delivery without offering medical advice, wanted to ensure that the agreement complied with California laws while offering the maximum protection available for a sole proprietorship. Additionally, the client expressed concerns about adapting the existing document that was initially structured for an LLC, highlighting the importance of making the right changes. As a result, the client received eight proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $300 to $595, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over a week.
