She does not provide legal advice in a free consultation. If she can’t help, she’ll explain why and do her best to point you in the right direction. If she can help, she’ll explain more about her intake process and what it’s like to work with her.

I’m not a business owner. Should I still contact Stacia with my contract question?2021-12-13T17:53:14-08:00

Yes! Although Stacia primarily represents businesses and business owners, she frequently assists individuals with contracts, especially employment contracts.

Are there any types of contracts that Cornerpoint Law doesn’t handle?2021-12-13T17:54:25-08:00

Yes. There are so many different types of contracts out there! Stacia does not assist with contracts for the purchase and sale of real property, for the purchase and sale of vehicles, certain consumer contracts, certain loan agreements, and certain intellectual property agreements. Stacia’s core legal services are listed below. Still unsure if Stacia can help? Call anyway!

What is the cost?2023-02-09T12:16:31-08:00

Stacia’s rate is $320 per hour of legal time. There is no sales tax. Clients typically make an evergreen fee deposit, similar to a retainer, in advance of work being performed.

Cornerpoint Law makes hiring a lawyer seamless and convenient. Clients provide Cornerpoint with relevant information on their own schedule via an online intake form. Attorney/client agreements are exchanged with electronic signatures, and payment is accepted by check, eCheck, debit card, and credit card. Cornerpoint is both a paperless office (meaning that documents are rarely printed and snail mail is typically not used) and a work-from-home office (click here to learn how Stacia makes that work, and work well at that). As a solo attorney, Stacia’s schedule is flexible, meaning that she is generally easy to reach. Finally, to be clear, Stacia believes lawyers are both invaluable and indispensable. But she also knows that there are more “fun” ways to spend money, so to stay within your budget, you’ll have the opportunity to check her fees in near real-time.

Where is Cornerpoint Law?2023-02-09T12:17:34-08:00

Cornerpoint Law is a virtual law firm based in Seattle and Boise, and most clients are in King, Snohomish, and Ada counties, but Stacia is available to help businesses and individuals located throughout Washington and Idaho. Stacia knows that your time is valuable, so convenience and efficiency are always top of mind. Video conferencing, teleconferences, the cloud, and email work extremely well for most communications. Given Cornerpoint’s fully mobile office, when the situation calls for it, Stacia is always happy to meet in person at a time and place that works for you.

What Clients Say

What Our Clients Have to Say

Stacia is honest, and generous with her time and attention. I worked with her on two separate contractual issues I ran into. She helped me design a contract for my business, and counseled me on getting out of a contract which I was in. She was dedicated, responsive, and very knowledgeable and I had positive results in both instances. She was extremely thorough along the way and gave great advice. I highly recommend working with her.
 
Emily, Client
I value a professional who knows their stuff AND is easy to talk to and truly listens to my viewpoint and concerns. Sometimes you only get one or the other. Stacia provided both.

I needed help with what was probably a small project to her, but was important to me. She provided lots of attention and thoroughness to my case, and I came away knowing exactly what I was facing and able to make well-informed decisions.
 

Su-Lin, Client

I sought legal advice due to my recent relocation to Washington State. Stacia was highly recommended by several colleagues. She was able to give me guidance and advice regarding my situation during my initial consultation. I immediately hired her, and she was able to deal with the other party and successfully close on all legal topics. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs legal advice and a prompt resolution to their legal matters.

Jose, Client
I really enjoyed working with Stacia Hofmann even though it was one of the hardest periods of my life. Stacia was extremely knowledgeable dealing with my case, was easy to work with and was clear in her communication. The billing structure at Cornerpoint Law is straight forward and they offer multiple payment options. Stacia is the right person to have in your corner and I highly recommend her services to anyone.
