What legal services does the firm provide?
We provide practical legal guidance related to nonprofit formation, governance and policies, contracts and agreements, employment and HR, compliance and risk, and outside general counsel support.
Does contacting the firm create an attorney-client relationship?
No. Contacting the firm, submitting a form, or scheduling a consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is only formed after the firm confirms representation in writing.
Is the initial consultation free or paid?
We offer a free 30-minute Get Clarity consultation to discuss your situation and determine whether MILA is the right fit. Detailed legal analysis, document review, or formal legal advice may require a paid engagement.

Yes. For appropriate matters, we provide ongoing outside general counsel support for organizations that need regular guidance with governance, contracts, and operational legal questions without hiring an in-house attorney.
In which jurisdictions does the firm practice?
The firm's attorneys are admitted to practice in Florida. Representation outside of Florida depends on the specific legal issue, federal law applicability, and jurisdictional rules. Please contact the firm to discuss your specific matter.
What information should I prepare before contacting the firm?
