Welcome to en•lign counsel+compliance

We are D. Y. Grace, PLLC. The trade name en•lign counsel+compliance illustrates our desired shift from the traditional law firm as the status quo.
en•lign's primary function is to partner with and support you and your business. This name was chosen to personify two concepts:
  1. the "enlightment" that the understanding of the law provides, and subsequent "counsel" we impart, combined with,
  2. our ability to "align" your organization within the appropriate "compliance" context.
