As a pastor, you are called to shepherd your people, not battle legal issues. But without the right legal protections, your ministry, church, and even personal finances could be at risk.

Jonathan and Amanda Ferguson, Revival Culture Church
"She pulls from the word of God. Everything she does is driven by a sense of purpose that's connected to her destiny … Also, she's just fun…So, on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, we would rate her 1,000…"
Israel Campbell, Senior Pastor Flourishing Church, Hermosa Beach & Gardena
“What would we have done without Regan? Launching a church can be overwhelming, especially in California.”
Apostle Guillermo Maldonado, King Jesus Ministry
"Regan has deep knowledge and strong experience in legal, HR, and business matters specifically in the church/ministry context..."

"Regan has been providing Grace Avenue Church with legal and business advice since its founding, from strong foundational documents and planning, to employment questions, to pastoral compensation issues, to intellectual property matters, and more."
Craig Johnson, Champions Foundation Founder
"Regan is an expert in her field and there is no one you would want more to have you start your organization and/or continue to help it grow."
Caleb Konneman, Founder, Church Alive
"Working with Regan was a very smooth process and very easy. And most importantly, I could move forward in confidence knowing that my family, my church, and my legacy were protected and built on a strong foundation."
Sandy R. Pineda, King Jesus Ministry
"Regan has deep knowledge and strong experience in legal, HR, and business matters specifically in the church/ministry context. Also, Regan has an exceptional eye for detail and organization, and the right professional demeanor to perform the oftentimes stressful work she does so well. Beyond that, however, what really sets her apart is that all her knowledge and experience are coupled with a genuine heart and respect for the church and those in ministry. That is an unbeatable combination!
