Our firm’s unique First Counsel® program guides entrepreneurs through the formation of their new business and provides basic legal services for the first twelve months from the inception of the business–all for a flat fee. Your primary attorney has full access to the knowledge and experience of attorneys in a variety of practice areas vital to businesses just getting off the ground, including labor and employment, tax, real estate, finance, employee benefits and intellectual property.

Our attorneys counsel clients on their best business strategies because they get to know and understand each client's legal challenges.

Throughout our history, Leonard, Street and Deinard has been committed to serving entrepreneurs, family businesses and private companies. We developed the First Counsel program with this commitment in mind. We believe the quality legal advice and services we provide through the program also demonstrate our dedication to establishing long-term relationships that help clients build and sustain thriving businesses.
