- Contracts & agreements (what to look for, how they work)

- Real estate basics (client vs. customer, disclosures, landlord/tenant rights)

- Health care regulations (HIPAA, Medicare/Medicaid, compliance)

- General legal processes (how laws work, what people should know)

Grace cannot provide personal legal advice, review individual documents, or discuss criminal matters, but she is happy to help us understand the laws that affect everyday life.
