501 (c)(3) public charity!
Yesterday, we received our official notification from the IRS that we are now a 501 (c)(3) public charity! We owe this accomplishment to WRO Law. We started this process over two years ago with LegalZoom and it was overwhelming and costly. We were fortunate to be members of WALA and WRO Law took our request for legal services. From day one WRO Law explained the process in simple and easily digestible terms. WRO also created our bylaws and filed the packet for us, making themselves available throughout the entire process. From start to finish it took less than 90 days to receive our 501 (c)(3) public charity status. We strongly recommend WRO Law for all of your business legal services!

Quality Service with the Outcomes you Want
When you sit down to look for a lawyer from a list of names, it can feel overwhelming. Prior to working with Atty. White, I contacted 3 other lawyers. None of them felt as personable, knowledgeable and excited for the case as Rolanzo. Yup, you heard me. Excited. Contract negotiation and revisions are not something that gets the blood pumping but throughout my experience with Rolanzo, he was always excited about the case, took the time to explain everything with plain language, and caught some of the catches within our contract as well as points we needed to advocate for. That kind of service is exactly what I was looking for. I recommend Rolanzo without hesitation. He was everything I needed in an attorney at a more than reasonable price. I hope to not need any legal services anytime soon, but if I do, he's my guy!

Would recommend to all!
I had the pleasure of attending law school with Rolanzo. He is kind, diligent and very approachable. We worked on many projects together throughout our time in law school. It was refreshing to work with someone who had such a strong work ethic and empathy for others. Both qualities are extremely important in becoming a successful lawyer. I would recommend his services to anyone.

Efficient, Friendly, and Helpful!
As an artist, I have to apply for a lot of grants, and sometimes the grant agreements have clauses that I don't understand, and can come off as vague. The specific clause I reached out for was about residency status that could result in a heavy penalty if I moved out of the county the grant was for. I am in the process of purchasing a new property, so I wanted to ensure that this would not interfere with my residency status. I reached out to Rolanzo to help me figure out if I was legally able to retain residency status, and how to prove my residency status moving forward. I am building my business and always need help to understand the often vague terms in legal agreements. Not only did Rolanzo help me with my legal questions regarding the grant, but he did it efficiently, at a reasonable cost, and genuinely cared about what I'm going through. I look forward to working with Rolanzo to help me with my growing art business and property needs!

Sold my home!
I wanted to sell my rental property, in a timely manner. I got in touch with Mr. White and told him that I wanted to sell my property, without an agent. We discussed the pros/cons with this strategy, and decided to go the route of "FSBO" (for sale by owner). By the following day I had a questionnaire to fill out so that he could acquire the necessary information to draft my sales agreement. This is the first time I've sold a home, and the process ran extremely smooth. Mr. White was patient and really took the time to answer any questions I had. The house was sold and I am eternally grateful for his hardwork and guidance, thoroughout the sale. If you are seeking a diligent, thorough, patient lawyer, look no further. I would definitely hire him again!

Trademarking Brands
Mr. White was referred to me by a very dear friend. His services are not only reasonable, but offers a very quick turnaround time in completing necessary paperwork. He takes the time to do thorough research for your company and offers the best counsel services! He has made such an impact on my business and has helped to relieve my stress! If you are a small business owner and looking to trademark, file paperwork for your taxes, and etc. Mr. White will help you and guide you through every step of the way!

The Best business lawyer!!!
Helping my mom with her hair salon and trying to branch out and grow out business, we really were lost in all the legality of things, so I reached out to Rolanzo and consulted with him. After just a few minutes, I was ready to hire him. He has been an amazing and hardworking person to work with. He has been very knowledgeable and patient with us. If you are looking for an attorney that really works for your best interest, then he is definitely the one!

Friendly, knowledgable, and efficent!
I called Rolanzo out of the blue having no idea what kind of attorney I should get for my ATM business. One can imagine how esoteric that subject is, so I did not know who to reach out to. After a timely call back, Rolanzo set up a next day consultation with me to discuss further and knew more about the legal issues regarding ATMs in a night than I could dredge up in over a month of due diligence on the industry. Rolanzo not only helped me write a comprehensive contract for installing the ATMs, but also offered continued services on contract negotiations, and feedback on my business model and marketing materials. Top notch! I look forward to continuing as a client as I build my business.

Rolanzo not only worked fast and hard he was easy to communicate with and answered all my questions with attentive care and utmost respect, he went above and beyond to deliver the necessary requirements and knew exactly what he was doing, he made this job an easy hire as the description of his formal background speaks for itself. Extremely well conducted and professional, will be using again in the future.

Man where can I start Rolanzo came in at the early stages of my LLC. He gave me a lot of great legal advice and direction. He helped me draft legal paper work to ensure I was protected. He has been very communicative and understanding. Also to top it all off very reasonable with his pricing and quality of work. I definitely recommend him!

DC LLC Filing and Assistance
Rolanzo was, and in no particular order, well informed, helpful, patient, fair and all around perfect. I had no idea what to do or the process and he explained it all and walked me through each step. I have recommended him to friends and will only use him and his firm in these matters.

So helpful and diligent
Mr. White helped me so much when my old apartment company was bullying me even though we already had an agreement. Thanks to his hard work I have a great resolution.

LLC and contracts help was wonderful!
He helped me with filing in the state of Maryland for my new small business to protect my copyright and what-not, drafted contracts and internal documentation for said business, and reviewed contracts I made before working with him and advised on further proceedings. He was forthright, communicative, and respected my pronouns and formal name. As far as I can tell, he was incredibly helpful and I had no problems with him (and don’t anticipate any coming up).

Efficient and Professional
I founded a non-profit and was referred to Rolanzo White to provide legal guidance on registering a Federal Trademark and I am so glad I was. We had a quick phone conversation and then everything happened electronically and received the confirmation of filing within 2 days! I was so pleased by his work ethic and understanding of my needs that I immediately asked him to complete a Copyright for my book. Again, everything was done at a reasonable cost, quickly and with minimal effort on my part. I have already referred him to a Facebook Group of non-profit Founders!

Very understanding!
I contacted Mr. White for some consulting regarding a memorandum of understanding. He was very up front and made sense all the way through. He very knowledgeable and very understanding. After that, I requested his service again for some guidelines on starting my own LLC and also some consulting with other legal matters. Every single time he delivered. I would highly recommend Mr. White.

Unbiased legal advice
Rolanzo has given me legal advice regarding both my business and automotive accident. On both occasions he clearly provided me with all my options, best practices, and his unbiased opinion. I really trust the legal advice given and it has proven time and time again to be the most in favor for me (the client).
