A Note From Tyra
Hi There! I'm Tyra Hughley Smith, the owner and managing attorney of Hughley Smith Law, PC. I am a creative serial entrepreneur and can truly relate to the hustle and bustle of running a business (or several businesses).
When it comes to the law, I am passionate about equipping business owners with the tools they need to thrive. Building a strong foundation is critical for small business owners, and having access to an attorney to guide you through the ins and outs of your concerns will give you the comfort you need to take your business to the next level.
My goal is to provide trusted legal insights to business owners who want to ensure they are operating correctly and in their best interest, along with their business. You'll have predictability and access as you make moves within your business. Think of me and my team as your "business protection" attorneys.
We're looking forward to working with you!

If your matter involves a strict court or filing deadline, response times will of course be adjusted accordingly.
Communication
What tier is best for me?
Legal Up provides affordable legal knowledge and resources to help you get started and leave no stone unturned. This plan is great for newer businesses. You'll have a dedicated lawyer who can answer your questions. (No more Google searches or asking in Facebook groups!) Level Up is for anyone looking to start working with others, put contracts into place, and needs legal counsel when navigating these waters. You get a monthly call, contract reviews, templates and more. The Brand Protector is meant for more advanced businesses, ready to bring on an attorney to be an integral part of their team. You can think of me as your outside general counsel!
How is this different from The Legal Pad?
Our subscriptions are offered through Hughley Smith Law - which means you're actually hiring an attorney dedicated to your business and legal needs. Through your subscription, you'll receive either discounts to/access to The Legal Pad, which is Tyra’s contract website filled with courses, templates, and resources for business owners. Simply put, your subscription is the best of both worlds! The Legal Pad is not a legal firm and is a separate entity; it is not legal advice, and you do not have a designated attorney when you purchase contracts or courses through there, as it is a DIY option.
Are there any hidden fees?
Absolutely not. You make an up-front payment each month (or year) to get access to all member benefits. Just one email to figure out an issue for your business will likely save hundreds of dollars from what it would normally cost to set up a consultation with an attorney to speak with you regarding a very specific issue. If you need a project in addition to your subscription, we discuss your legal needs before starting any additional work.
Will I be able to afford a subscription?
Protecting your company by registering or applying for a trademark can be an investment in the future. It saves you money and time and helps prevent fraudulent activity. Putting this off could later become costly, even lead to lawsuits and rebrand impasses that could affect your business. That said, I offer competitive rates no matter what stage of growth your business is in. But as I always tell clients, it is ALWAYS more expensive to fix a problem after the fact that it is to handle things proactively at the outset.
