About
Gray Legal, P.C. (GLPC) is a virtual law firm that helps modern businesses and families protect what matters most.
GLPC is currently going through a restructuring of practice areas as we streamline our current practice mix to include two divisions: Your Legacy Counsel, where Wills, Trusts, and Probate matters are handled by a team of skilled professionals to help clients protect their assets, loved ones, and legacy; and Bedrock Law where the legal needs of creative entrepreneurs & artists are met by providing business, entertainment, and intellectual property counsel to help them protect their brands and creative work.
Having a virtual law firm (also known as an online law office) allows us to deliver safe and secure representation to our clients, no matter where they are physically located. We use a secure client portal for all client communication and case-related documents. This is great because it gives our clients 24/7 access to everything going on with their case. And most importantly it’s secure which helps keep all communications confidential.
