Nonprofits

Trusted Counsel for the Organizations That Serve Our Community

Churches, ministries, and nonprofits do vital work, and that work deserves a legal foundation as strong as its mission. We help faith-based and charitable organizations stay compliant, protect their people and property, and focus on what matters most.

We understand that nonprofits run on limited budgets and dedicated volunteers. You’ll work directly with an attorney who takes the time to understand your mission, speaks plainly, and gives practical guidance that respects both your resources and your values.

How We Help

• Formation & tax-exempt status — Incorporating nonprofit and religious organizations, drafting bylaws, and guiding you through the application for federal and state tax-exempt recognition.

• Governance & bylaws — Advising boards and leadership on their duties, meeting and voting procedures, conflicts of interest, and keeping governing documents current.

• Ongoing compliance — Helping you maintain good standing with annual filings, charitable registration, recordkeeping, and the rules that come with tax-exempt status.

• Contracts & property — Reviewing leases, facility-use and rental agreements, vendor contracts, and real estate matters, including buying, selling, or financing your building.

• Employment & volunteers — Guidance on staff and clergy employment, independent contractors, volunteer policies, and workplace questions unique to ministries and nonprofits.

• Risk & everyday questions — Serving as ready counsel for the day-to-day issues that arise, from policy questions to disputes, so leadership can act with confidence.
