⭐️About Me
Hi! I'm Karen, a serial entrepreneur, author, and award winning inventor with over two decades of business experience, including 11 years as a highly successful business and contract attorney. I’ve represented clients in high stakes civil and commercial litigation business disputes, real estate, medical malpractice, product liability, and complex class action lawsuits.
Today, I help ethical startups, small/mid-size businesses, and nonprofits protect their vision through clear, enforceable, litigation proof agreements that keep them out of court and focused on growth.
⭐️Featured Press + Founder of Prodigi Kids
Featured in Entrepreneur, NBC News, Yahoo Finance, The Chicago Tribune, and more, I’m the founder of Prodigi Kids, a connection company - creating products, software, books, experiences- anything that creates more moments of meaningful connection between parents and their kids.
⭐️Passionate About Helping Businesses
I live in sunny San Diego with my three kids and am passionate about helping people and businesses succeed with their contracts, business formation, and nonprofit needs.
⭐️Why Clients Hire Me:
1️⃣ Contract Expert
As a former trial attorney, I saw how poorly drafted contracts led to disputes and ended up in court. I learned the secrets of how to draft clear, legally protective agreements that prevent problems before they arise and best protect your interests.
2️⃣ Professional Writer & Communicator
With two decades of experience across legal, creative, and academic work, I deliver precise, on time results and make complex legal concepts easy to understand.
3️⃣ Proven Credentials
I’m licensed to practice law in New York in good standing. I graduated with Honors from Rutgers University with a B.A. in English and received a J.D. degree from Hofstra University School of Law in the top ⅓ of my class where I was Associate Editor of the Hofstra Law and Policy Symposium Journal.

I'm Steffan Alexander Lazerow, a business attorney and entrepreneur with a decade of legal experience under my belt. I regularly handle most of what businesses actually deal with: formation, contracts, IP, brand protection, employment matters, disputes, issues, compliance, and all the smaller legal questions that come up along the way.
What you get with me is someone who's built things too and is actively engaged in building new products or services, so I tend to think about your business from an entrepreneurs mind before I think about it from a legal perspective. No big-firm overhead, no billing games, no handing your matter off to a junior associate.
Who I work with:
I'm outside counsel to about a dozen businesses and founders in tech and SaaS, e-commerce and DTC brands, content creators and influencers, music and entertainment, and the health and wellness space.
Why people hire me:
I am an entrepreneur and an attorney; not just an attorney. I am an excellent communicator, can break down complex topics, and provide the type of service I would want when hiring an attorney.
Background:
I earned my J.D. from Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 2016 and have spent the decade since practicing business law. I currently serve as outside counsel to a dozen active clients across several industries. In 2023, I was one of a small group invited to Upwork's Work Without Limits Executive Summit.
How I work:
Law shouldn't be a black box, and you shouldn't have to nod along pretending a contract made sense. A big part of my job is translation, breaking down the complicated parts so you can make informed calls for your business. Expect clear answers, quick replies, and no jargon for its own sake.
If you're a founder, creator, owner, or operator who wants a sharp legal partner who actually understands what you're building, reach out. I'd like to hear about your business.
**All freelancing contracts initiated on UpWork are between you and Steffan A. Lazerow – Law Office.**
While San Diego, California is listed as my virtual office; I live and work out of Wake Forest, North Carolina.

At Andrew Brodkin Law, I focus on contract drafting, review, negotiation, business formation, and dispute resolution. With a strong background in law and an entrepreneurial spirit, I provide tailored legal solutions for small to medium-sized businesses. My proactive approach helps clients manage legal and business challenges effectively.
I also offer private mediation services for business and civil disputes. Mediation is particularly well-suited for co-founders, business partners, and commercial relationships where both sides want to resolve a dispute without the time and expense of litigation. This is especially true for interstate or cross-border matters where pursuing litigation in another jurisdiction is impractical or cost-prohibitive. My mediation rate is $400 per hour, typically split between the parties at $200 each.

"We landed our first client within two weeks and are now generating an average of 25+ qualified leads per day"
"He is worth every dollar I paid and he'll be worth every dollar you pay when you choose to work with him."
"If you are looking for someone who cares about your company and want you to get results I highly recommend him"
Experts promising to build you a "revenue-generating" sales funnel for under $1,000 in under a week...HA!
Recycling templates, doing ZERO research, unaware of your market sophistication, using AI to come up with a weak offer...
That only gets freebie seekers, wannabe learners & people with no budget.
I don't build funnels that maximize leads.
I build funnels that attract buyers.
And care far more about the people your funnel repels than the people it attracts.
🏆 Here's Why Clients Hire Me
• I have 97 paid funnel consultations with a 4.9⭐️ rating
• Coaching and education businesses invest $6,000–15,000 in my funnel builds, with campaigns achieving up to 10x ROAS.
• I run my own sales funnel and spend tens of thousands on Meta ads outside of Upwork (my IG: @dominibouch)
• I hand-pick just 5-6 clients on a monthly retainer so I can stay deeply involved in improving their conversion rates, booked calls, Meta ad performance, and revenue.
💰 What I do for you:
✔️ Done-for-you sales funnel builds (ClickFunnels & GoHighLevel)
✔️ Funnel strategy, offer positioning & lead magnets
✔️ Landing pages, sales pages & direct-response copywriting
✔️ Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) + ad copy
✔️ Email marketing & automation
✔️ Ongoing funnel optimization
Whether it’s a low-ticket funnel, high-ticket funnel, lead magnet, webinar funnel, book funnel, or a b2b sales funnel...
We should talk.
🗓️ How I Work
1. Paid strategy session (if you don't get value, I'll refund no questions asked)
2. Research your market, competitors, and buyers before writing a single word
3. Funnel strategy.
4. Copy & build.
5. Launch.
6. Optimize until profitable.
📥 If you're serious about building a sales funnel that turns more of your traffic into paying customers, let's talk here. Or DM me on Instagram @dominibou.
Include details about your business and goals so I can see if we are a good fit.
