About Law 4 Small Business

A little law now can save a lot later.

Who We Are

Let’s be clear here. We’re a law firm. But we’re not just any law firm. We do law for small business. We’re all about helping small businesses navigate and avoid difficult problems. Our focus is also on helping new entrepreneurs get new businesses off the ground and assisting existing businesses in remaining safe and protected as they grow. We work through the hard stuff in small business so you can get back to doing business you love.

At L4SB, we measure our success by your success. We endeavor to provide expedient, valuable, flexible, and cost effective services. Our team is your team. We tailor service to your unique business needs and believe together we can realize great things.

Our History

Law 4 Small Business started in 2011 when Larry Donahue identified a gap in legal service tailored for small businesses. There were few places small business owners could find reliable and straightforward legal consultation. Larry sought to change that by incorporating his business and legal expertise to create a space where small business owners could find solid and accessible legal advice.

L4SB has since assembled a team of business minded individuals spanning across several states dedicated to helping small business owners and leaders achieve goals and solve problems. In July of 2017, Law 4 Small Business merged with Business Law Southwest—forming one of the largest, most progressive, business-focused law firms in the Southwestern United States. No matter where you or your business are at, we strive to provide new services and partner offices to assist your business down any path it takes.

Who We Serve

Our clients hail from all walks of life and all stages of business. They run lifestyle companies, venture-backed firms, family-owned groups, sole proprietorships, husband-wife teams, partnerships, and much, much more.

Mr. Donahue with L4SB is very thorough and knowledgeable when it comes helping others starting a new business. He helped me set up my new business for a yoga studio. What would have taken me several months to figure out on my own, he had the answers to all of my questions as we spoke. Mr Donahue is well versed in lease negotiations and has his client's best interest for protection of their new business. I would highly recommend using L4SB for any business related needs.

Larry Donahue was a pleasure to work with. Unlike many attorneys who are more concerned with the accumulation of their billable hours than they are with the needs and limitations of their clients, Larry provided us with practical advice, quick response times, and unexpected insights - all while being mindful of our small business start-up's budget at the same time. I give L4SB an enthusiatic 4 stars!

I really enjoyed working with Larry. I am the owner of a small yoga studio and needed a liability waiver drawn up with very specific language. I was not looking forward to the time, energy, and money I thought would be the norm when working with a law firm. What a pleasant surprise working with L4SB has been! He responded to my call within the hour, worked with me via email, and had the form I needed to me in a few days. I feel very fortunate to have found such a gem in our community. Thank you!

I have been working with him for the past few months on a business contract. I was going to use someone locally but I thought I would give L4SB a try and I am happy I did. His flat rate contract review was spot on. Larry has advised me on several aspects of the contract with my best interest in mind. If it was not for him I may have entered an unfavorable deal. I strongly recommend L4SB for any small business looking for legal advice.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
