FAQ

Q: Where are you actually located?

A: We are a fully remote firm. We are licensed to practice in the District of Columbia, New York, New Jersey, and Missouri. 60% of our clients are located in the District of Columbia and 40% of our clients are located in New York City. We have one client in each of the States of New Jersey and Missouri.

Q: Do you have plans to expand to Maryland and Virginia?

A: We can sometimes work with Maryland and Virginia companies through our network of other attorneys or if the client has a base in D.C.

Q: I am a consultant. Can you help review my consulting agreement?

A: Yes. Consultants typically need assistance with reviewing an agreement they received from a client or crafting a template agreement for their own business. We draft, review, and negotiate consulting agreements, independent contractor agreements, and nondisclosure agreements on a daily basis. Our goal is for your business to have professional documents that help you get paid, protect you in the event of a dispute, and protect your intellectual property.

Q: Would you work with my business?

A: We work with a range of clients, from single-member LLCs to public companies. Some of our clients need help with obtaining a business license or a charitable solicitation license, domesticating their business from one state to another state, obtaining an EIN, or forming a new LLC, corporation, public benefit LLC or corporation, or other entity. Other clients need help with drafting legal documents, including privacy policies and terms of use or service for their website, employment and independent contractor agreements, and services agreements. We also help startup founders with founder’s documents and financing. Lastly, we help businesses purchase and sell their businesses through M&A transactions.

Q: How can I schedule a consultation with your firm?

A: The easiest way to schedule a consultation is by using our Calendly link on the Contact page, calling us at (202) 630-6546, or emailing info@legallyprotect.com. We will likely schedule a telephone consultation first, and if needed, an in-person consultation.

Q: What should I know before we meet (either in person or by phone)?

A: Please know that I cannot give legal advice unless I am representing you. I can provide general legal information, but the purpose of the consultation is for us to decide whether we are a good fit and can work together.

Also, working with an attorney is a lot like going to the doctor’s office. You may have done some WebMD research on what disease you think you have, but you still want to keep an open mind and listen to what the doctor says. Your diagnosis could be wrong, or the doctor could say you’re right, but let’s go my way in terms of treatment.

Many of my clients come to my office having already self-diagnosed their business’s legal problems. Sometimes I will ask the business to take a step back and schedule a legal strategy session or a business audit with me so that I can explain what they should consider doing before they hire me to solve a specific legal issue.
