Legal Services

“I want to encourage entrepreneurs to use legal counsel from day one. Over the years I’ve known many people starting new companies who shied away from hiring an attorney because they thought that they couldn’t afford the fees. I know from sad experience that one three-hour meeting can save you a million dollars down the road. I’ve come to depend on legal counsel and trust it.”

• Multi-state Filing Under Charitable Solicitation Laws
• Charitable Organization Formation
• IRS Tax Exempt Filing

Most states in the US require organizations that solicit contributions within the state to register with the state before soliciting contributions to residents of that state. Not only could an organization face significant fines, license revocation and penalties, but also negative publicity for those who fail to comply with state statutes regarding registration.
