Our Partnership Commitment
I limit my Legacy tier to 15 clients for one reason: Mission Capacity. By removing the billable hour, we remove the barrier between you and your attorney. This model allows me to act as your 'General Counsel,' providing the strategic foresight and 24/7 access required to keep your business and family legacy secure for the long haul.
Defending Your Rights
Ideal for: New business owners, solo farmers, and those needing to fix a weak legal baseline.
Starting at $750 per month
Business Entity Fortification: Proper setup or audit of LLCs/Trusts to ensure personal assets are truly shielded.
The "Veil" Protection: Annual review of corporate formalities to prevent creditors from "piercing the veil."
The Priority Line: Unlimited 15-minute 'Pulse Check' calls for routine business questions. Whether it’s a quick contract question or a potential employee issue, you can call without watching the clock.
Guaranteed Response: All inquiries receive a priority response from the firm within one business day.
Quarterly Governance Audit: We will verify your LLC standing and filings every 90 days to ensure your personal assets remain shielded.
The Digital Vault: 24/7 access to your firm-managed repository for all your critical business and estate documents.
Flat-Rate Projects: Preferred pricing on one-off legal needs (e.g., a single land transfer).
Building Your Business
Ideal for: Growing companies and established farms with employees, vendors, and high activity.
Starting at $1,500 per month
Everything in the Foundation Tier, plus:
Contract Review & Vetting: Unlimited review of vendor agreements, grain contracts, and equipment leases (up to 5/month).
Labor & Employment Shield: Development of employee handbooks and non-compete/non-disclosure agreements to protect your trade secrets.
Regulatory Watchtower: Proactive alerts on Ohio Ag and manufacturing law changes that impact your bottom line.
Priority Response: Guaranteed same-day response for all non-emergency legal inquiries.
Annual Site Audit: One on-site visit per year to walk the farm/factory and spot liability gaps.
Protecting Your Legacy
Limited to 15 clients
Ideal for: High-net-worth families and businesses where transition to the next generation is the top priority.
$3,000 per month
Everything in the Foundation and Operational Tiers, plus:
Fractional General Counsel: I function as a member of your executive team, sitting at your table for major strategic decisions.
24/7 Red-Line Access: A direct priority line for immediate operational emergencies (OSHA visits, accidents, or urgent disputes).
The Succession Roadmap: A multi-year, documented plan for the smooth transfer of management and ownership to the next generation.
Quarterly Kitchen Table Briefings: On-site strategic sessions to ensure your "Perimeter" is moving with your growth.
Next-Gen Mentorship: I facilitate family board meetings to train your heirs on the legal and financial responsibilities of taking over.
Begin your Succession Roadmap by flagging potential gaps in your family or business protection. Identifying these risks now is the first step in moving from reactive legal trouble to proactive defense.
Frequently Asked Questions
"Why a monthly fee instead of hourly billing?"
Answer: Hourly billing creates a "tax" on communication. It punishes you for calling your lawyer before a problem explodes. My concierge tiers encourage proactive defense. You pay for the outcome (a secure legacy) and access (knowing exactly who to call), rather than just my time.
"What if I don't use the service much one month?"
Answer: You aren't paying for "tasks"; you are paying for the Shield. Much like insurance or a security system, the value is in the constant monitoring of your perimeter. In "quiet" months, we focus on the Legacy Roadmap—the deep-dive succession work that usually gets ignored until it’s too late.
"Can I change my tier level later?"
Answer: Absolutely. As your business grows or your family situation changes, we can adjust your "Perimeter" to match. However, please note that the Legacy Sentinel tier is strictly capped at 15 partners to ensure my direct availability. If that tier is full, you will be placed on a priority waitlist.
"Does the Legacy Tier cover litigation or court appearances?"
Answer: These tiers are designed for proactive defense—to keep you out of court. While the Legacy tier includes high-level negotiation and dispute resolution to deflect lawsuits, formal litigation is a separate tactical engagement. However, as your General Counsel, I oversee any litigation to ensure your long-term mission remains protected.
"How do I know which tier is right for me?"
Answer: That is exactly what our Legacy Readiness page is for. We’ll look at your current assets, your family goals, and your operational risks to recommend the tier that provides the most effective shield for your specific mission.
