How long has your business existed? Your Answer: Less than 2 years. As a start-up venture, your company is in a high risk category for legal dangers frequently overlooked by entrepreneurs in pursuit of rapid growth. A Business Legal Diagnostic should be performed in addition to handling the problem that brought you to this website in the first place. Please note that this law firm does not represent businesses for free, for a percentage of equity, or based on promises of future income in exchange for current representation. Because of the inherent instability of multi-level marketing (MLM)/network marketing ventures, we rarely represent those who own or work as independent contractors for such companies. Question

How many lawyers have you hired in the past 5 years? Your Answer: 1-2 attorneys. If you've hired 1-2 attorneys to handle other types of legal matters in the past 5 years (such as a divorce or custody case), that's okay. However, please note that I'm not a replacement attorney who comes in to rescue you if you've had a dispute with your last business lawyer. If you trash your last lawyer when talking to me, I'll have to assume that sometime in the future you'll be trashing me too. Question

How many lawyers have you hired in the past 5 years? Your Answer: 3 or more lawyers. If you've hired 3 or more attorneys to handle other types of legal matters in the past 5 years (such as a divorce or custody case), that's okay.

4:
Do you want your lawyer to handle business legal transactions and/or go to court for you? Your Answer: I want him to do both. I'm a transactional attorney. In plain English, this means that I represent clients in business legal matters but I am not a trial lawyer. If you qualify to become a client, you need to know beforehand that any lawsuits will need to be handled by a trial lawyer. I can make referrals for someone to handle your court cases. Note that you'll rarely find a transactional attorney who is a good trial lawyer...and vice versa. The skill sets are very different. Question

Approximately how much pre-tax gross profit does your business generate each year? Your Answer: Less than $100,000. Your business probably isn’t a good fit for legal representation for this law firm unless you’re willing to sacrifice to invest in putting the right legal protections in place for your company. Like your doctor and dentist, a law firm rarely works for free. This firm already represents several charities and doesn’t have the time to represent any more. If you’re looking for cheap/free legal advice, this isn’t the place to find it. Question

If you're looking for free legal advice, I can't help you. If you're looking to have simple business documents drafted, I can probably help you. Note that pre-payment is required. Life's too short to waste it with debt collection. Question

How much money have you budgeted this year to pay for a lawyer to represent your business? Your Answer: Nothing. I'm looking for free legal representation. I'd like for my doctor, dentist, and auto mechanic to work for free too. They charge for their services (like me) because they're running businesses. I already do free legal work for some nonprofit organizations. I simply don't have the time to work for you for free, in exchange for equity in your company, or for the promise of future income. If you're looking for free (pro bono) legal representation, please contact your state or local bar association for a referral. And if you do get free legal help, when you get funds, please donate to a worthwhile charity (such as the Texas Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital or a battered women’s shelter) to express your gratitude for the assistance you received. Question
8:
If you qualify for legal representation by this law firm, will you refer at least 1 business owner like yourself to the firm as a potential client? Your Answer: Yes. Most new clients of this law firm are word-of-mouth referrals by existing clients. Without such referrals, it would become necessary to spend a lot of time marketing instead of representing clients with quality service. Successful business owners have friends who have the similar business legal issues. This means that when you refer business owners like yourself to become clients you do them a favor by providing the opportunity to have their companies protected. You also make it easier to represent your legal needs because less marketing time is needed. One of the conditions on legal representation by this firm is that you agree to refer at least 1 business owner like yourself if we deliver as promised in the first legal matter in which you’re represented by the firm.
