MEET THE PRINCIPAL ATTORNEY
I was 7 or 8 years old when I wrote my first contract.
I vividly remember making my parents enter into an agreement with me about chores.
They wanted me to clean my room, I wanted to get paid, and I drafted up a contract laying out the terms. I did not agree to clean up a single thing until their signatures were firmly embedded onto my 8.5 X 11 loose leaf paper.
I proudly displayed my work on the kitchen refrigerator to make sure that everyone was on the same page about how this arrangement was going to work so that no one took advantage of my hard work without adequately compensating me.
Decades later, I'm still defending the rights of the emerging contender, but I've learned so much over the years. I now know that it takes a lot more than a contract to protect a business.
And I learned early on in my career that:
Success does not happen on an island.
What you don’t know can hurt you or slow you down.
It is okay—and far less costly—to ask for and receive help so that you can focus on your strengths.
Now I help people like you build businesses, protect brands, and establish legacies
Instead of contracts and negotiations over chores, I help my clients protect their valuable businesses and brands by:
Strategically protecting businesses as they launch or reorganize with limited liability companies, corporations, and other legal tools.
Registering trademarks to protect business names, logos, slogans, and other valuable brand assets
Empowering professionals, experts, and consultants to scale and monetize their expertise with copyrights for their frameworks, manuals, and other expert content as they expand their reach and impact their worlds
Reviving businesses that may have fallen off due to inactivity and mistakes
Negotiating and drafting brand agreements, licensing agreements, and consulting agreements that highlight and protect my clients’ value on and offline
Assisting founders, business owners, and busy professionals plan for their money, property, and loved ones so that their legacies are secure
My clients are legally protected and save hours of work because they let someone help them.
