Ask HN: Need an attorney for my startup

#1

Post by jimmysdown » Sat, Mar 08, 2014, 4:49 PM UTC

I just incorporated my startup and I'm looking for an attorney to help with corporate-related issues such as:

- issuing stock - making sure my corporation is in order (tiny as it may be at this point) - patent searches - corporate taxes/state sales tax - terms of service

I don't have any idea where to start other than google. Thanks for any recommendations.

(edit; I am in the US, in the rural Midwest, and it's fine to deal with someone out of state. The business is incorporated in DE and is physically in OH.)

I have worked with HN user grellas ( https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=grellas ) on a professional basis for a startup acquisition and I recommend him. He is based in the Bay Area, but I was not, and things worked fine with him and his team over phone and email.
