You built the business online.
Now build the legal foundation
to protect it.
Most online businesses are generating real revenue with zero legal infrastructure. No compliant privacy policy. No enforceable terms of service. No protection when a customer disputes a charge, a platform changes its rules, or the FTC comes knocking. We fix that — completely, at a flat fee. Available nationwide.
Your business is live. Your legal foundation probably isn't.
You built the funnel, launched the store, grew the audience, and started generating revenue. What you didn't do — and almost no one does — is build the legal infrastructure to protect all of it before something goes wrong.
A privacy policy you copied from another website is not legally compliant. Terms of service from a template generator won't hold up when a customer disputes a $2,000 course purchase. And if you're collecting email addresses, processing payments, or selling to customers in California or the EU — you have legal obligations you may not even know about.
The founders who get hit hardest aren't the ones doing anything wrong. They're the ones who built fast and assumed the legal side could wait. It can't.
"One FTC complaint, one chargeback dispute, one data breach — and the legal infrastructure you didn't build becomes the most expensive thing you never bought."— Stokes Law Group
Built for the founder who built it online.
If your business lives on the internet — whether you're selling products, services, courses, or software — you need Digital Legal Infrastructure.
Course creators, coaches & educators
You're selling access to your knowledge — courses, memberships, group programs, coaching packages. Your Terms of Service govern refunds, chargebacks, intellectual property, and what happens when a student shares your content. Without them, you have no legal recourse.
E-commerce & product-based brands
You're processing payments, collecting shipping addresses, and managing returns. Your legal documents govern every one of those transactions. A missing refund policy or non-compliant privacy notice can trigger platform bans, payment processor holds, and regulatory fines.
SaaS founders & tech entrepreneurs
You're collecting user data, storing credentials, and providing ongoing access to software. GDPR, CCPA, and platform-specific requirements create compliance obligations from your first paying user. Your Terms of Service is also your primary liability shield.
Influencers & content creators monetizing
You've built the audience and you're starting to sell — merchandise, digital products, brand deals, affiliate programs. Each revenue stream introduces legal exposure that a social media handle and an LLC alone won't protect you from.
The legal gaps that cost online founders the most.
These aren't hypotheticals. They're the scenarios playing out right now for online businesses operating without legal infrastructure.
No Privacy Policy — FTC & State Fines
If you collect names, emails, or payment information — and you do — you're legally required to have a compliant privacy policy. California's CCPA and other state laws carry fines of up to $7,500 per intentional violation. "I didn't know" is not a defense.
Unenforceable Terms — Lost Chargebacks
When a customer disputes a charge with their bank, your Terms of Service is the primary document Stripe, PayPal, or your processor uses to evaluate the dispute. A template TOS or no TOS at all means you lose — and enough chargebacks means losing your merchant account entirely.
No IP Protection — Content Gets Stolen
Your courses, templates, digital products, and original content are intellectual property. Without copyright registration and terms that explicitly restrict use, anyone can copy, redistribute, or resell your work — and you'll have limited legal recourse to stop them.
Platform Risk — No Independent Legal Rights
Shopify, Amazon, Instagram, and every other platform can suspend or terminate your account at any time. Founders who build entirely on platforms they don't legally own have no recourse when it happens. Your legal infrastructure needs to exist independently of any platform.
Copied Policies — False Sense of Security
A privacy policy or terms of service copied from another website creates liability, not protection. If it's incorrect for your business model, jurisdiction, or data practices, it can actually be used against you as evidence of misrepresentation.
GDPR Exposure — International Customers
If any of your customers are in the EU — and if you're selling online, some probably are — GDPR applies to you regardless of where your business is incorporated. Non-compliance penalties can reach 4% of annual global revenue or €20 million, whichever is higher.
Digital Legal Infrastructure Packages
Start with the Compliance Audit to know exactly what you need — then build the legal foundation your online business requires. Flat-fee pricing, no billable hour surprises. All services delivered nationwide via Zoom.
"Know exactly what's missing — before it costs you."
Before you build, you need to know where you stand. The Digital Compliance Audit is a full legal review of your existing online business infrastructure — your current policies, contracts, entity structure, and IP exposure. You receive a written report identifying every gap, every risk, and a prioritized action plan for what to fix first.
This is the entry point. Many founders who complete the audit move directly into Tier 2 or Tier 3 — because once you see the gaps, you can't unsee them.

- CCPA / GDPR exposure assessment
- IP ownership and copyright gap analysis
- Entity structure assessment for online revenue
- Platform dependency risk review
- Written compliance report with prioritized action plan

"ADA website lawsuits have surpassed 4,000 federal cases per year. Most target small and mid-sized online businesses."
The Americans with Disabilities Act applies to websites. If your site isn't accessible to users with disabilities — including screen reader compatibility, color contrast, keyboard navigation, and alt text — you are legally exposed to ADA Title III claims, demand letters, and federal lawsuits regardless of your business size.
We provide a written legal assessment of your website's ADA compliance against WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, identify your specific gaps and risk exposure, and deliver a prioritized remediation roadmap. We coordinate with vetted technical accessibility specialists to handle the code-level fixes — so you have a complete compliance solution, not just a legal opinion.
- Written ADA compliance legal assessment (WCAG 2.1 Level AA)
- Risk exposure analysis and liability documentation
- Prioritized remediation roadmap
- Accessibility policy and statement drafting
- Coordination with vetted technical accessibility specialist
- Demand letter defense guidance if a claim has already been filed
Medium (26–100 pages) — $2,500
Large (100+ pages / e-commerce) — $4,000+
Federal law governs privacy compliance, ADA accessibility, and IP protection. Your business is online. So is our service.
Not templates. Documents built for your business.
Every document we draft is written specifically for your business model, your revenue streams, and your customer relationships. A course business has different legal needs than a Shopify store. A SaaS platform has different obligations than a coaching practice.
We don't pull a template and change the name. We ask the right questions, understand how your business actually operates, and draft documents that hold up when it matters.
From audit to fully protected — here's the process.
Every engagement starts with a Strategy Session. From there, the path is clear.

Protected & Compliant

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a Privacy Policy if I'm a small business?
Yes — size doesn't determine your legal obligations. If you collect any user data (names, emails, payment information, IP addresses), you are legally required to have a compliant privacy policy under multiple state and federal laws. California's CCPA applies to businesses of any size that meet certain data thresholds, and GDPR applies to any business with EU customers regardless of size or location.
Can't I just use a template or free privacy policy generator?
A generic template creates the appearance of compliance without the substance. If your policy doesn't accurately reflect your actual data practices, it can be used as evidence of misrepresentation in an FTC investigation or consumer complaint. Every document we draft is specific to your business model — because your business isn't generic.
What's the difference between Tier 2 and Tier 3?
Tier 2 covers all the essential legal documents your online business needs to operate compliantly. Tier 3 adds trademark registration (Trademark Titan™ package), IP ownership review for digital products, platform and vendor agreement review, and a 90-day compliance check-in. Tier 3 is for founders who are serious about scaling and want complete legal infrastructure — not just documents.
Is the Compliance Audit fee credited toward a package?
Yes — if you retain us for Tier 2 or Tier 3 within 30 days of completing your Compliance Audit, the $1,500 audit fee is credited toward your package investment. The audit is designed to surface exactly what you need, so moving from audit to package is a natural next step for most clients.
Does GDPR apply to my US-based online business?
If any of your customers are located in the European Union — and if you're selling online, some likely are — GDPR applies to you regardless of where your business is based. GDPR governs the data rights of EU residents, not the location of the business collecting the data. Non-compliance penalties can be severe. Our Privacy Policy drafting addresses both CCPA and GDPR obligations.
How does this connect to SLG's other services?
Digital Legal Infrastructure is the Protection layer for online businesses — but most online founders also need trademark protection for their brand, a business entity properly structured for online revenue, and eventually estate planning to protect what they've built. The Compliance Audit often surfaces needs across multiple practice areas. We'll identify everything during your Strategy Session and help you prioritize what to tackle first.
What is the ADA Web Accessibility Legal Assessment and do I need it?
The ADA requires websites to be accessible to users with disabilities. Over 4,000 federal ADA website lawsuits were filed in 2023 alone — most targeting small and mid-sized businesses. Our legal assessment evaluates your site against WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, identifies your exposure, and delivers a remediation roadmap. We coordinate with vetted technical accessibility specialists to handle the code-level fixes. If you have an online business with paying customers, you need this.
Are these services available outside of Florida?
Yes — all Digital Legal Infrastructure services are available nationwide. Privacy compliance, ADA accessibility, IP protection, and digital business documents are governed by federal law, not state law. We serve online businesses across all 50 states via Zoom. This is one of the key distinctions between our digital compliance services and state-specific services like estate planning or business formation.
Your legacy, wealth, and protection are our priority.
Start with a $500 Strategy Session — one hour with Attorney Stokes to assess your online business, identify your legal exposure, and determine exactly which tier of Digital Legal Infrastructure you need. Applied directly to your retainer when you retain the firm within 14 days.
