Monthly Plans & Flat Fee Services

We go against the mold and do not believe in the traditional law firm model. Here’s how our monthly plans and flat fee services work.

Why a monthly plan?

The purpose behind the monthly plans that we offer is to help small business owners obtain the legal services and advice they need without having to fear a budget-busting use of legal services.

Plan ahead.

We believe in a proactive style of problem avoidance, rather than the traditional ''break it, fix it'' problem solving style of traditional legal practices.

Ask questions.

We want clients to call and ask us questions long before a question becomes a problem. We will ask questions of you to avoid problems.

Advise.

As your advisors, we will be the people you can trust, the people you can speak openly with, and can count on as part of your management team.

We listen. We advise. You decide. You thrive.

We listen. We advise. You decide. You thrive.

We are committed to seeing small businesses thrive.

    Monica

    Stephen

  • "Matthew is detail-oriented and thorough. His legal advice has become invaluable for my company. I would highly recommend him."

    Chrissy

  • "It was a pleasure working with Matt in recent months on some contract reviews. His attention-to-detail is second to none, and his industry-specific knowledge made our interactions that much more productive. Very responsive and professional, I have no hesitation in recommending him.”

    Mitch

  • “Matt has been absolutely fantastic to work with. We came to Matt with a contract that we had outgrown. As our design firm has grown, so has the need to close any gaps or uncertainties in our legal forms. Matt worked one on one with us to create a custom contract that suited our specific needs. He took the time to get to know my business in person, studied who we are and asked us about our goals. He was quick to respond and explained everything along the way. It was refreshing to work with someone who spoke our language and really related to us. I would recommend Matt to any small business for any legal needs.”
