Principal Attorney Vonnie Dones is the founder of Legalcleanup.com. Prior to forming Legalcleanup.com, Dones, as a legal assistant, assisted the Director of the City of Cleveland's Office of Fair Housing & Consumer Affairs (FHCA) in representing and protecting Clevelanders from consumer scams, fraudulent business practices, and unfair and unequal treatment in housing. Dones provided consumer protection in the following areas: Unfair and deceptive sales practices, fraud, new home construction, debt collection defense, landlord-tenant disputes, breach of contract, warranty disputes, refunds, home solicitations, home repairs and renovations, and contract cancellation. His experience with the city exposed him to countless complex and unique fraudulent business practices and inequities faced by consumers, in which he now draws upon to help his clients resolve their legal issues.

     Before receiving his law degree from Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, Dones was signed as a recording artist with Violator / Def Jam Recordings / Polygram Records. He worked with Russell Simmons, Lyor Cohen, and the late Chris Lighty, in which he now draws upon to help his clients in entertainment law. He signed an artist and label deal with Chris Lighty CEO / Founder of Violator Entertainment, who has signed and managed artists such as Sean "Diddy" Combs, Warren G, L.L. Cool J, Soulja Boy, Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot, Mariah Carey, Nas, 50 Cent and more. He was also signed as an artist with Marley Marl at the House of Hitz in Manhattan, New York. Marley is often described by many as the “inventor of sampling.”

     Dones has worked in marketing, advertising, and promotion with entertainment artists such as Soulja Boy, Teirra Mari, Roscoe Dash, Trina, and more. He is the founder of a marketing and entertainment promotions and booking agency, which has been endorsed by Rick Ross, T.I., Meagan Good, Kevin Hart, Tom Arnold, Jay Mohr, Henry Cho, Whitney Cummings, Chris Delia,  Bun B, Young Jeezy, John Witherspoon, Lupe Fiasco, Vince Young, T-Pain, Paul Rodriguez, Keri Hilson, Trey Songz, Mario, Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, Mos Def, and more. Dones has over 20 years of experience in the music industry.

     At LegalCleanup.com, we think outside the box to provide our clients with the most practical and efficient solution to their legal needs. We are a law firm that provides legal services online as well. As a result, our clients may avoid the unnecessary legal costs associated with hiring a lawyer who provides “full legal” services only. Our online delivery model provides a more efficient way of servicing clients with a limited budget. What may have taken a client in need of record-clearing much longer to do at a much higher cost, will now take a fraction of the time at a fraction of the cost. Many law firms in the traditional sense, do not take full advantage of new technological advances that reduce the time and money associated with delivering legal services.

     Our online delivery model does not sacrifice or diminish the quality of workmanship, unlike unlicensed legal professionals or legal form companies who cannot provide legal advice, coaching or counseling, and can only fill-out basic forms on a person’s behalf. We cut the costs associated with delivering legal services while maintaining the integrity, standards, and quality of legal services. Less time, more efficiency, equals more cash in our client’s pocket. We make the process easier for our clients by simplifying document preparation. By integrating smart technology with legal advice, coaching, support, assistance, and document review, we provide our clients a legal solution that is user-friendly and personalized. We offer our clients a budget-conscious choice.

     Our online document preparation system coupled with attorney support makes our legal service delivery process easier and cheaper. While our online model of delivering legal services is not entirely new to the legal profession, our added features and customized packages provide a more cost-effective, safe, and efficient way of serving clients with legal needs. Again, we offer our clients the option to choose the package that fits their budget and desired level of attorney support. In addition, we provide our clients with a secure, encrypted online client account.

     Our clients sign in to their secure account and interact or communicate with their lawyer. It is user-friendly and efficient. Our clients can gain access to their online account from their computer, notebook, or tablet while sitting at home enjoying a cup of coffee. Clients are given the options of communicating via e-mail or web cam, (i.e. Skype). Clients can send and receive documents, electronically sign documents, and ask questions about their legal matter(s) at their convenience. Our online legal service is 24/7 and we respond to all messages quickly. Our clients have the advantage of having a licensed attorney by their side guiding them along the way.
