Business Law

In terms of clients, I prefer to work with people who are sincere, respectful, and focused on achieving their personal and business goals and objectives. They listen, ask questions, and follow-up on what we discuss. We become a team.

In terms of cases, call me. My primary areas are business law, wills and trusts (estate planning), and employment law. I have 20 years of experience. I have seen and done quite a bit in that time. So, if you have a personal, business, or legal issue, call me. Let's talk about it.

I attend continuing legal education seminars on a wide range of topics related to business law and law office technology.

I regularly write a column, The Law According To Moses, for the Ohio MBE Newspaper. I write on a variety of law-related topics as a way to educate the public and to empower individuals and communities to get involved and to take control of their own destinies

As a young lawyer, I assisted a husband and wife (my first business clients) in forming a small construction company. The husband had worked for many years as a laborer and a mason. I continued to provide legal advice, counsel, and representation as the company grew to be a successful, multi-million dollar enterprise that was recognized by the SBA as a Small Business of the Year. After, 19 years, they are going strong and are still one of my favorite clients.

Provided legal advice, counsel, and representation to client in multi-million dollar business acquisition and real estate transaction where the client had retired from her employment, relocated to Central Ohio, and purchased an existing business enterprise.

Provided legal advice and counsel to a nonprofit community development corporation concerning multi-million dollar tax credit transactions for affordable housing.

I began my own law firm in 1991, right out of law school. Even during those periods in which I worked for other corporations or organizations, I maintained a select group of private business clients. My law firm's primary purpose and mission is to promote and secure legal, social, and economic justice for all. At the heart of that mission is a deep-rooted commitment to helping empower individuals and communities to influence and to control their own destinies.

Moses Law has a diverse clientele who come from all walks of life. They include individuals, small businesses, entrepreneurs, entertainers, technology companies, construction companies, child daycare centers, real estate investors, inventors, federal, state, county and city employees, union members, corporate employees, school teachers, IT professionals, retail businesses, restaurants, churches, nonprofit organizations, as well as, couples, families, and senior citizens. Minority and women-owned business enterprises in Columbus, Ohio comprise a significant portion of the firm's clientele.

Moses Law provides clients with legal advice, counsel, and representation in personal and business matters, transactions, administrative proceedings, and court hearings. Business law is our primary area of practice. To that end, Moses Law provides business advisory and legal services to Ohio entrepreneurs, start-up ventures, and growth-oriented businesses from business planning and formation through sale or other disposition of the business. We also advise and counsel clients concerning asset protection and basic estate planning.

We guide our clients through the development of business plans, choosing a form of business, corporate and limited liability company structuring decisions, funding and financing, contracts negotiation, regulatory compliance, technology and Internet issues, and real estate matters, among others.

Intelligent business and legal planning is essential when starting a new business to ensure business growth and long term success. We endeavor to ensure that our clients are well prepared to grow their businesses and avoid the pitfalls many encounter when not represented by an experienced Ohio business attorney.

Over the years, I have worked as a Staff Attorney for a legal aid society, as an Associate General Counsel of a labor union, and as a Contract Specialist for an Internet company specializing in electronic commerce.

Yes, if you hire me. This means that your $50 consultation fee is credited towards your legal fees if you hire me. So, the consultation fee is $50. You pay that when you come in.

Let's say you want me to form a single member LLC (limited liability company) for you. The fee for that may be $495. If you hire me, the $50 is credited towards the $495 which brings the cost of LLC down to $445. If you decide not to hire me, I receive $50 for the legal advice and counsel I gave you during the consultation. You leave the meeting better informed and with some additional knowledge you didn't have when you came in.

For litigation, administrative hearings and proceedings, and complex business transactions, I require a deposit of fees upfront. The amount of the deposit depends upon the type and complexity of case. The typical retainer ranges from $1,500 to $3,500.
