Posted by Chandler | November 12, 2026 | Hired Attorney

Clear, practical legal guidance for my small business

Franci prepared the agreements and website policies for my sound healing and coaching business this fall. She was responsive to my questions, including the follow-ups, and explained each point in plain language so I understood exactly what I was signing. Her recommendations were practical for a small... business owner, and she quoted anything outside the original scope upfront, so I could decide what I needed. I’d recommend her to any business owner looking for clear, dependable legal support.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
