I can operate my business with even more confidence.

I want to shout out Melanie Cunningham of MC Law, a fellow female entrepreneur who just helped me update my #freelancer contract. Thanks to her, I can operate my business with even more confidence. For me, as for many freelancers I know, shaping your own contract is a scary yet crucial part of business-adulting - yes, let's be real - and Melanie helped me handle it with ease. She answered all of my questions thoughtfully and compassionately with examples to help me understand how terms like indemnity and force majeure can play out. Documents were organized easily and effectively in an online system. I highly recommend MC Law's services for #entrepreneurs operating in the U.S.!

Straightforward. Integrous. Effective.

I was so stressed about the legal matters that I was dealing with concerning my business. Melanie's manner, insight, and intellect put me right at ease. I am SO GRATEFUL to have found her and while I hope that I won't NEED her services too often, I am so relieved to know that she is there if I need her again.

Focused on Small Business Needs

1. Based on the initial consultation, I felt like Melanie was competent. I actually already had another attorney, but honestly, their communication was not as prompt as I needed and I felt like my work may have not been 'billable' enough for them. Melanie was focused on small business needs. . .

2. The document creation process was methodical and based on the first draft, I could tell that Melanie was paying attention to the needs that I expressed as they were reflected in the documents and well written.

3. Don't hesitate to hire Melanie!
