As a small business owner, you’re wearing many hats!
When you’re running a small business, you often simply do your best and get the job done—even when it’s not your area of expertise.
But winging it on the legal side doesn’t feel smart.
You’re aware of the inherent risks in your industry that leave you exposed—and you know disputes are unavoidable.
And, frustratingly, hiring in-house legal counsel or a small business lawyer from a big law firm is well outside your small business budget.
So you’re walking a fine line, acting as your own legal counsel with the help of Google and crossing your fingers—hoping that nothing comes up to put your business at risk.
Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Melissa “Mel” D. Green. I launched MDG Law Virtual in 2022 with a mission to provide sound business and legal advice at affordable prices for small businesses who struggle to pay big law firm prices. I’m dedicated to working with you to meet your unique budgets and goals. I’m a coach at heart—and I’m genuinely invested in your success.
Whether you’re setting up a new business, making strategic changes, dealing with a specific legal matter, or needing ongoing small business legal services, I have a package for you.
We discuss your objectives and concerns and determine what services you need.
If you choose to move forward, I’ll send you an engagement letter detailing planned services and an invoice.
Once I have the signed engagement letter and the invoice has been fully paid, I’ll perform the services requested.
“Lawyers can be rude, dismissive, and use a lot of really complicated jargon. And that’s not Melissa. She’s honest, kind, knowledgeable, and talks to you like a person. It always felt easy.” ~Dr. Arielle Miller
As your small business lawyer and guide, I’ll walk you through the steps of setting up a new business entity, create terms and conditions and contracts, and act as your outside general counsel for any legal issues that arise as your business grows.
Every second of every day, someone enters into a legally binding agreement. It might be a lease for an apartment or space in a commercial building. It might be a master services agreement because your business needs services from another entity.
Being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart. It comes with a certain level of risk, but with that risk can come great rewards.
When I started my legal career, I learned very quickly that most people think you only need a lawyer when you run into trouble or that all lawyers go to court and argue cases - but there’s so much more that we do.
