Meet Your Lawyer

A lawyer who thinks like a business owner.

I’m Blake Turley. I work with small and mid-sized companies on the trademarks that carry their name and the contracts their revenue depends on. Turley Law is a firm of one, on purpose. When you call, you get me — not an associate learning your file. I’m the one who reads the documents, negotiates the deal, and is still on the phone six months later.

More about how I work →

For Small & Mid-Sized Companies

What We Do

Three pillars — book a consultation →

Trademarks & Brand Protection

Federal trademark registration, the Section 8 and Section 15 filings that keep a registration alive, plus copyrights, licensing, and trade secrets. Filed nationwide.

Contract Services

MSAs, statements of work, client terms, NDAs, vendor and contractor agreements. Drafted, redlined, and explained in plain English before you sign.

Business Legal Audits

A read of the contracts, the brand assets, and the corporate record — so the exposure surfaces on your schedule instead of a buyer’s.

Outside General Counsel

The three above on a monthly retainer: ongoing contract review, annual audits, and trademark monitoring, without the meter running on every email.

Corporate & Deals

Entity formation, investment and funding rounds, and mergers, acquisitions, and exits — for companies already doing the work.

Employment — Employer-Side

Offer letters, contractor classification, handbooks, non-competes, and separations. Always representing the company, never the other side.

Turley Law does not take every dispute that comes through the door. The ones it does take grow out of work it already does — a contract it could have drafted, a partner who is now a problem, an employee who left with something that was not theirs. Which disputes I take →
