Legal Ease
Santa Monica, California · Full-Service Legal Help for Companies, Families & Individuals

One phone call. Two kinds of help.

In-house counsel for software companies that can’t justify a full-time lawyer yet, and plain-spoken help for families dealing with divorce, estates, immigration, and the justice system.

Practices

Everything we do

Eleven practice areas across two sides of the firm. Each one has its own page with what we handle, how we work, and what to expect.
Formation & Governance→

Entity choice, founder agreements, and clean records from day one. Fixing these before a financing costs a multiple of getting them right at the start.

Fundraising & Venture Financing→

SAFEs, convertible notes, and priced rounds, handled by counsel who has sat on the company side of the table.

Commercial & SaaS Contracts→

Master agreements, subscription terms, order forms, NDAs, and the playbooks that let your sales team handle most of it without a lawyer in the room.

Privacy & Compliance→

Terms of service, privacy policies, CCPA and GDPR, TCPA and telephony rules. Enough to pass an enterprise security review without hiring a compliance department.

Employment, Equity & IP→

Offer letters, invention assignment, contractor agreements, option plans, handbooks, separations, and trademarks. The paper that follows every hire.

Divorce & Family Mediation→

Divorce, paternity, custody, visitation, support, and small claims, resolved with a Los Angeles County certified mediator rather than a courtroom.

Legal Document Preparation→

Family law, estate, and small claims paperwork, prepared and filed by a registered Los Angeles County legal document preparer.

Wills, Trusts & Estate Planning→

Wills, revocable living trusts, health care directives, and powers of attorney, drafted so they work when they are needed.

Immigration→

Family petitions, green cards, citizenship, work authorization, and visas for founders and early hires. Attorney-handled, start to finish.

Mobile Notary & Signings→

Acknowledgments, jurats, loan signings, estate documents, and apostille coordination across Santa Monica and the Westside, usually same day.

Justice System Navigation→

Alternative sentencing, treatment advocacy, in-custody support, record sealing, and reentry. The reason this firm exists.

Not sure where you fit?→

Call or write. A free first conversation sorts out what you need and who should handle it, even if that is someone else.
