Welcome
to a new way of working
with a lawyer.
Look, let’s be real. Business Founders who actually listen to someone who’s been down this StartUp Road a few times have an advantage. I’ve been there, done that and I can provide you with solid legal advice and killer go-to-market strategies.
I’ll be your Easy Button. Everyone else is trying to solve a Rubik’s cube blindfolded, you’ll have an EX Button..
That’s why I built my law firm. I’m here to be your lawyer, your Startup Sherpa, your “Wait, maybe don’t do that” voice.
We’ll tackle everything from “how do I even form a company?” to “how do I not blow all my venture funding in a week?” My background as a lawyer, a CMO, and a multi-time founder means I’ve got the battle scars (and hopefully, a few good stories) to help you navigate the chaos and, you know, actually launch something awesome.

A Law Firm Built For Entrepreneurs and Growing Startups
Your Partner, Coach, Mentor and Friend.
So, you’re building something amazing? Fantastic!
And you need a lawyer who gets it?
Even better!
Michael J. Wieser Law is basically your startup’s legal best friend. We’re here for everyone – tech wizards, bakery bosses, and everything in between! Think of us as your legal translator, turning ‘legalese’ into plain English, and your budget’s guardian angel, making sure those end-of-month legal bills don’t make you want to hide under your desk. We’re all about clear communication, so you’ll actually know what’s going on, and we promise, we’ll try to keep the lawyer jokes to a minimum (but no promises).
More than a Lawyer
Ever wish your lawyer also knew how to launch a killer marketing campaign, or, you know, actually understood what ‘growth hacking’ really means? Well, wish granted! At Michael J. Wieser Law, you’re not just getting legal advice; you’re getting the whole startup enchilada. I’ve been a serial entrepreneur, a CEO (where I learned the fine art of putting out fires), a CMO (where I learned the finer art of getting people to buy things), and, oh yeah, an attorney (where I learned the art of keeping you out of legal fires). So, whether you’re trying to figure out company formation, protect your brilliant ideas (aka, intellectual property), or figure out how to get customers without selling your soul, I’ve got you covered. Basically, I’m the legal Swiss Army knife you didn’t know you needed, but will quickly wonder how you ever lived without.
Let’s make your startup a success, shall we? And maybe, we’ll even have a few laughs along the way.
It’s Your Dream, Let’s Get Started!
Our company formation services can get you up and running in as little as 24 hours.
Form Your Delaware Corporation or LLC
I will get started right away and get you going quickly. I’ll work with you to get your company opened in as fast as 24 hours. Starting with a name search, expedited filing service, Certificate of Incorporation, EIN number, and at I price you can respect, with all filing fees included.

Legal Business Services From Formation, To Funding To Exit
So, you’re building a startup? Awesome!
And you’re probably realizing that launching a business is a bit like trying to assemble IKEA furniture with just a spoon?
Don’t worry, we get it.
At Michael J. Wieser Law, we’re all about helping startups, early-stage folks, and small business heroes navigate the wild world of business.
As a 4X founder (yes, I’ve had my fair share of ‘oh, that’s how you don’t do it’ moments), I’m here to be your legal guide and your slightly-more-experienced-than-you-are buddy. We’ll tackle the legal stuff, of course, but we’ll also help you make those “Wait, is this a good idea?” business decisions that can make or break your venture. Think of us as your startup’s co-pilot, except we actually know where we’re going (most of the time).
