Counsel you on being mission focused.

The legal professionals at Quest for the Best® understand that as a nonprofit organization your priorities lie in providing assistance and services to others.

Quest for the Best® will advise you on how to be in full compliance with federal and state filing requirements, and help reduce the potential for liability exposure for your organization and the Board of Directors.

If Quest for the Best® approves your request for legal services, we will send you a representation agreement that will outline our relationship, and what we will do on your behalf. Once signed, your organization will be protected under the attorney-client privilege.

To receive free legal services, your organization must have, or, be seeking, IRS 501 (c) (3) status, and be located in Pennsylvania. Priority is offered to nonprofit organizations located in Southeastern Pennsylvania. In some cases, Quest for the Best® may offer legal counsel to individuals who are served by, and recommended, by the nonprofit client.

Quest for the Best® does not assist for-profit organizations, and will not provide advice or services for tax matters (excluding IRS 501 (c)(3) filing), civil litigation, criminal litigation, bankruptcy, and intellectual property matters.
