Jeff Stoltz - Reston Contracts & Agreements Lawyer Reviews & Ratings

My name is Jeff Stoltz. As a business attorney, my job is help to you - the freelancer, startup founder, and small business owner - create grow, and manage your business. Attorneys have a reputation for being "no" men and women - you can't do this, that is too risky, don't try such a new and untested concept. That's not me. Whether you're at the formation or exit stage, or anywhere in between, I focus on how we can say yes to your ideas while complying with the law and mitigating risks. I will become intimately familiar with the workings of your business so I can provide you tailored advice and guidance to minimize your exposure while still pursuing your strategic goals.. I chose to open my firm because I love the strategy and collaborative planning that business law entails, and wanted to participate more directly in that process with my clients. I enjoy being the consigliere – the trusted guy behind the business owner. Prior to starting my solo practice, I worked at FINRA, the nation’s largest independent securities regulator. My job was to protect investors by investigating brokerage firms and brokers for violations of the federal securities laws and regulations. I worked closely with firm customers to understand their investments and circumstances, identify concerns or problems with their brokers, and fashion remedies to address those difficulties. I bring this same hands-on problem solving approach to my private practice.  I’ve served as a judicial law clerk at the District of Columbia Superior Court, worked in private practice at a small DC-area firm, and obtained my Master of Laws degree with a concentration in securities law.  Originally from Fort Collins, Colorado, I have called the Washington DC metro area home since 2004.. While I enjoy my job, I also have a life outside of work, which includes playing golf, running (I've completed a handful of marathons), and reading, especially biographies of military and business leaders. Fall Saturday afternoons are usually devoted to watching Notre Dame on the football field (go Irish). Most importantly, I love to spend time with my beautiful wife and two-year old son.
