Our Process

Getting legal help for your business should not feel complicated. Here is exactly what the process looks like when you work with South Florida Business Attorney PLLC.

Step 1 - Reach Out

The first step is a conversation. You can initiate contact in whatever way is most convenient for you:

  • Phone call: 954-601-4088
  • Email:  mstevenson@soflobusinessattorney.com
  • WhatsApp — for clients who prefer messaging: 954-601-4088
  • Video call
  • In-person meeting — available by appointment at our Fort Lauderdale office.

There is no wrong way to start. Whether you have a specific document that needs attention or a business situation you are not sure how to handle, reaching out is the right first move. The initial conversation is an opportunity to discuss your situation, understand what you need, and determine whether this firm is the right fit for your matter.

Step 2 - We Talk About Your Situation

Every business matter is different. Before any work begins, we take the time to understand your specific situation, your goals, and what you are trying to accomplish. This is not a one-size-fits-all practice. Whether you are forming a new entity, reviewing a contract, buying or selling a business, or looking for ongoing legal support, the conversation is the foundation for everything that follows.

If you prefer to communicate in Spanish, that is not a problem — this firm is fully bilingual in English and Spanish. You will never need to work through a translator or worry that something important is lost in the explanation.

Step 3 - Engagement Letter and Invoice

Once the scope of work is clear and both parties are ready to move forward, you will receive an engagement letter outlining the terms of the representation — what is included, what is not, the fee, and the payment terms. Transparency at this stage matters. You will know exactly what you are paying for before any work begins.

Payment is straightforward. This firm accepts:

  • ACH bank transfer
  • Zelle
  • Credit card
  • Cash

Work begins once the engagement letter is signed and payment is received according to its terms.

Step 4 - We Get to Work

Once the engagement is formalized, the work begins. You will have direct access to your attorney – not a paralegal, not a case manager – throughout the matter. Communication is responsive and clear. If something changes in your situation or new questions arise, you are not navigating a phone tree to get an answer.

We operate as a focused solo practice, which means the attorney who speaks with you at the outset is the same attorney working on your matter from start to finish.

Step 5 - Results Delivered

The goal of every engagement is a clear, practical outcome — a document you can use, a transaction that closes correctly, a business that is properly structured, or a contract you fully understand before you sign it. Legal work that sits in a drawer does not serve your business. Everything delivered by this firm is designed to be useful, accurate, and appropriate for your specific situation.
