Billy Ellyson...
... has practiced law in the Richmond, Virginia area for more than 30 years, specializing in advice to small business as well as non-profit organizations.
- From Solo Practicioners Advises Small Business Owners, Redefines Lawyers' Role, an article in the Virginia Lawyer, the official publication of the Virginia State Bar.His goal was — and continues to be — to eliminate barriers that he perceives impede a lawyer's relationship with his clients: the withholding of advice unless the lawyer is on the clock and public bewilderment and distrust over exactly what lawyers do.
Who we are...
We help clients organize and structure their businesses in order to avoid unnecessary liabilities, including unnecessary contractual and employment issues and unnecessary taxes and to identify and repair any weak spots in business practices and procedures.
Who we hope to be...
We believe that basic legal advice should be given out to the public without charge, on the theory that a basic knowledge of the problem-solving possibilities of the law strengthens and empowers both the community and the practice of law. We want to be a source for this knowledge.
Small businesses...
... are different from large businesses
- different tax advantages
- different asset protection
- different financing methods
- different owners and employees
- different marketing opportunities
and - different risks and opportunities
