3. You may not realize a DIY contract is omitting important details

Welcome to Fortify Legal Services! I want to provide you with the additional support you need to be successful in any opportunities or challenges you face. My first goal is always to try to help you avoid going to court.

In the event that you need to sue someone, or someone sues you, we will work together to form a plan to give you the best chance of successfully defending or prosecuting your case. I also ensure that you know what is going on by explaining the process of the lawsuit, where we are in it, and project where things may be headed. I know that you have worked hard to build what you have. I look forward to working with you.
