Who is Propper Legal?

Propper Legal was founded by Abby Durlester, a self-declared (though clients have corroborated this!) fun lawyer.

What is Propper Legal?

I started Propper Legal in order to provide legal services to organizations and individuals who want to embrace modernity. I work with clients in a genuine, transparent way to develop contracts, negotiations, and processes that are equally as genuine and transparent. I feel that, in addition to good lawyering, this will help support communities. By ensuring all parties to a transaction have the same understanding, businesses can run more efficiently, and feel more comfortable working collaboratively. This in turn serves to strengthen local organizations and creators.

Why is Propper Legal (spelled with an extra “p”)?

My great-grandfather’s surname, prior to emigrating from Hungary, was Propper. I was at my maternal grandparents’ house every day growing up, and wanted to pay homage to them - and, as an English Lit major, there was something delightful about using the improper spelling of Propper.
