Legal Leadership Without the Overhead

Fractional General Counsel

Most businesses do not need a full-time, in-house attorney. But every serious business needs ongoing legal protection, strategy, and clarity. That is where I come in.

What Clients Are Saying

We are proud to support entrepreneurs, business owners, and nonprofit leaders. Here is what they have shared about working with Freedom Shield Legal.

Dean Harrington: CEO of shamrock home loans

There are few people you meet in the business world who are actually limited and understated by their job title. Matt is one such person. To call Matt a talented, productive, smart attorney would be true and, yet, so limiting. He's much, much more than that. Matt brings all his tools to every at-bat in his role. His high-social, remarkable communication skills, his ability to lead, his rigor and scope and his servant leader heart make him a game changer on any executive team. Matt will serve his lane but won't confine himself to that narrow an expectation. He will do whatever the team needs, no matter how well it matches up with his law and finance degrees. Doesn't matter. "I'm on it". "Give it to me" are who Matt is - every, single day. In fact, in my time working with Matt, he handled litigation, contracts, compliance, finance and licensing. But why stop there? He also stood-up for sales and recruiting, marketing and HR. Not enough? Matt also travailed to our referral partners in states across the country to work our booths at trade shows - to help our sales people. Supremely confident, yet humble; deep in his faith, yet with grace for everyone, Matt is a rare, rare executive.

Nick Sebastian: Co-founder of Eagle insurance co.

Working with Matthew Knych has been an exceptional experience. His broad and diverse background, coupled with the integrity he brings to every interaction, separates him from the pack. His combination of legal expertise and hands-on business experience is unique. It’s rare to find legal counsel who not only understands business strategy but has lived it. This makes conversations seamless and solutions practical. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Charlton Boyd: Co-Founder of NDA Express

Matt is everything you'd want in an attorney - accessible, creative, and a relentless advocate for his clients. I'm grateful for his support so far and look forward to working with him for many years to come.

Shane Hurley: CFO of Witt Fence Co.

Freedom Shield has been an incredible partner for us as a small business. From small issues that "Pop up" to clearly defined services agreed upon, they handle with class and punctuality. We are clear on all legalities from start to finish. They have helped us develop several documents as well mitigate our risk and maintain a level of professionalism. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a Legal team.
