In my 15 years of practice and 20 years in the legal field, I saw a major disconnect between law firms and our clients. I heard the same stories repeatedly—business owners feeling too intimidated to ask vital questions, lawyers talking down to them or making them feel stupid, and fear of surprise bills and unpredictable hourly billing. I knew we could do better with our clients.

When I set out to build Rising Brand Legal, I couldn't help but compare these all-too-common complaints with the way I prefer to practice law. Counting minutes to bill hours is as frustrating for me as it is for you. That's why we prioritize flat fees wherever possible. It not only makes sense for our operations but also provides our clients with the predictability you need.

The human aspect was just as critical. I didn't want our clients to feel like they were in the dark, at the mercy of legal jargon and complexity. My vision was for you to feel empowered and knowledgeable about your business, confident in the choices you make day to day, and assured that when legal issues arise, we're here to guide you.

I'm proud to say that at Rising Brand Legal, we've achieved this vision. And let me tell you, it's not just rewarding—it's so freakin’ fun! We're not just lawyers; we're partners in your business journey, and we're here to make it a success!
