Most small businesses simply don’t have the resources to retain in-house counsel. At the same time, operating without legal advice is dangerous. A simple mistake that a lawyer could have easily warned you against could end up costing your company a fortune.The answer to this dilemma is outside general counsel services. Instead of retaining a lawyer on staff full time, you pay only for the advice you need, when you need it. At Padgett Law, P.A., we provide such services. Our Tampa-based attorney has more than 35 years of experience in a wide range of business law matters. You can trust him to be highly accessible and responsive, providing the proactive counsel you require to make informed decisions.

“Avoiding problems on the front end is typically far less expensive than trying to fix them later. I’m available to discuss all your legal issues before you make any costly — or potentially fatal — business decisions.” – Attorney Stanley T. Padgett
