Why Having a Legal Partner Beats One-Off Support Every Time
Running your own medical practice means you’re no stranger to juggling patient care, business demands, and constant regulatory challenges. When a surprise demand letter lands in your mailbox, an employee threatens legal action, or you get notice of an audit, the stress can be overwhelming — especially if you’re scrambling to find trusted advice in the moment.
​
That’s where having fractional general counsel changes everything.
​
With Protect & Prosper, you don’t just get one-off legal help—you gain a dedicated partner who already knows your specialty, your practice’s unique needs, and your goals. When a cease and desist pops up for your marketing materials, or you need clarity on complex compliance issues, simply send a message through your secure client portal and get a clear, expert answer within 1 business day.
​
No frantic Googling. No explaining your practice again and again. Just fast, reliable guidance from someone who’s in your corner—hand-holding you through the mess so you can breathe easier and focus on what you do best: caring for your patients.
You deserve more than a one-time legal fix.

As a doctor, you're not just a medical professional – you're a superhero, saving lives while juggling the demands of running a business. It's a feat comparable to walking a tightrope. You're constantly providing exceptional patient care without forgetting to take care of yourself too.
Striving to stay informed on the ever-evolving compliance requirements for medical doctors, all while implementing practices to grow a profitable healthcare business without an overwhelming patient care case load. It can seem like a Herculean task.

Having transitioned from rigorous civil rights litigation into becoming a champion for business owners like you, navigating the intricate maze of compliance, from Georgia Medical Act to HIPAA, is my arena. I'm the expert business lawyer you've been waiting for.

Rest assured, we work on a flat fee basis, so you can budget without any surprise expenses.
But that's not all! You also get expert legal advice and counsel tailor-made to your needs, safeguarding you from jeopardizing your license and livelihood.
And just when you thought the deal couldn't get any sweeter, I throw in a cherry on top: a money-back guarantee. That's right, a risk-free opportunity. Because I believe in my work as much as you believe in yours.
So, while providing exceptional patient care remains your priority, let managing the legal health of your practice be mine.
I'm your legal partner to a more fulfilling medical practice.

Fractional General Counsel Service FAQS
What’s the difference between the Legal Protection Suites and the Protect and Prosper Packages?
The Legal Protection Suites focus on bringing one or more specific areas of your medical practice into compliance. With a suite, you get a complete compliance system—including contracts, checklists, vendor recommendations, training, and step-by-step implementation help.
​
The Protect and Prosper Packages go beyond that. They offer a 30-40% pricing incentive compared to buying suites a la carte and include ongoing general counsel support. That means after your initial services are complete, you continue to get monthly attorney calls, unlimited questions through a secure portal, and priority scheduling with Angie via a private calendly link.
​
TL;DR: Suites provide the compliance system service; Protect and Prosper Packages give you ongoing support plus a discount for being proactive in managing your practice’s legal health.
What’s the value of the Edmonds Law Guard fractional general counsel services option?
Hiring a full-time experienced healthcare lawyer with 8-10 years of practice can cost upwards of $200,000 annually. Our Complete Legal Wellness Support gives you the benefits of general counsel at a fraction of that cost. You get expert, ongoing legal guidance tailored specifically to your practice’s needs—without the overhead of a full-time hire. To maintain quality and accessibility, we only take on 3 clients for this service each year.
How do I know if I need ongoing general counsel support?
If you find yourself facing frequent legal questions, hiring or managing staff, expanding your practice, or dealing with complex contracts and regulations, ongoing counsel can save you time, money, and stress. Having an attorney who already understands your goals and operations means faster answers and better protection—especially during periods of growth or change.
Which package is right for me?
​If you’re just starting out or need help with specific compliance areas, a Legal Protection Suite may be enough. But if you want continuous access to legal advice as your practice grows or changes—and want to save on costs over time—the Protect and Prosper Packages are the better choice. These packages are designed for medical professionals looking for a trusted legal partner to walk with them through every phase of their practice.
