Andrea Sager is a serial entrepreneur who left a big law firm after realizing her true passion was assisting small business owners. While in law school, she started her first business, a women’s clothing boutique. After she sold her store and began her career as a lawyer, she quickly realized she wouldn’t be able to assist fellow small business owners, which is why she started Andrea Sager Law PLLC, a virtual law firm.
With her unique experience running multiple businesses, she is a trusted legal expert for small business owners as they grow their business. Andrea is not just an attorney – she develops business partnership relations with her clients, guiding them through all stages of their business growth.
She understands that every small business has a different budget, which is why Andrea Sager Law provides several different modes of service – subscription based, flat-fee, contingency fee, hourly and do-it-yourself. Andrea’s practice focuses exclusively on federal law, including trademarks, copyrights, and other business services.
Andrea is also the host of her own show, The Legalpreneur Podcast.
Andrea lives in Deer Park, Texas (near Houston).
