My search for a firm to establish my nonprofit The Center for Naturalistic Humanism was leaving me feeling overwhelmed. I’m so glad that after reading about and speaking with several firms I decided to go with Bluefield Law. Touria was really wonderful. I needed several revisions of our bylaws and I had lots of questions. Touria answered them all, she made the changes I requested, and was patient and supportive throughout. The staff at Bluefield Law are all top notch as well. Kayla, Emily, Tiffany, and Meghan were helpful, polite, informative, and thorough. In short, it was everything I might have hoped for. I highly recommend Bluefield Law without hesitation.

Working with Touria and her team was an excellent experience from start to finish. Touria is incredibly knowledgeable and efficient, and she made what initially felt overwhelming completely manageable. I went in not knowing where to begin, and she guided me through every step of the 501(c)(3) process with clarity and confidence. Emily and Kayla were always quick to respond to questions and so helpful along the way. Thanks to their support, we successfully received nonprofit approval for Assisi Animal Sanctuary, an animal welfare organization! I’m truly grateful and highly recommend Touria and her office to anyone starting a nonprofit.

Dealing with Blue Field Law, specifically Touria Mobin, was an amazing experience. Touria was instrumental in helping me set up my nonprofit and successfully obtain our 501(c)(3) status. Her pricing was extremely reasonable, especially given the quality of her work. She communicated clearly, kept me informed every step of the way, and made a complex process feel manageable and stress-free. Because of the excellent experience we had, our nonprofit plans to continue working with her moving forward.

What does the $2,500 package include?
Attorney-led legal help: articles or a certificate of incorporation, bylaws and a conflict-of-interest policy, an EIN, help preparing the IRS application for 501(c)(3) status, and help preparing the state filings that follow. Government fees are separate, and you can file with the government yourself.
Do you guarantee success?
Our agreement covers the legal work. Recognition is a decision by the IRS and the state, not something a private law firm can issue. If we do not complete the legal services in the agreement, you do not pay that fee.
How long does the process take?
The full process takes approximately 4 to 6 months, including IRS and state processing time. Form 1023-EZ applications are typically processed within 6–8 weeks; standard Form 1023 applications take 7–8 months depending on IRS workload.
Why not use LegalZoom at $400?
LegalZoom’s $400 covers only the first step in a multi-step process. You’ll pay for each subsequent step separately — often totaling thousands more. Our $2,500 flat fee covers the entire process start to finish, with a success guarantee.
Will I work directly with an attorney?
Yes. You work one-on-one with Touria Mobin, an attorney specializing exclusively in nonprofit formation, at all times. This means you can get legal advice directly, not just document preparation.
Do you work with nonprofits in all states?
Yes. Consultations and document review happen online, for clients in any state. We provide legal help preparing the documents filed with the state of incorporation and with the IRS. We do not replace those agencies.
What are the government (filing) fees?
Government fees vary by state and are separate from the service fee. They typically range from $25–$100 for state incorporation, plus IRS filing fees. We will outline all expected government fees before you sign.
What is your annual compliance service?
After formation, nonprofits must file annual reports with the IRS and state. We offer compliance packages starting at $349/year depending on your organization’s size.
