I've had the pleasure of working with Kelly Bagla for over 10 years now. We have a complicated corporate structure after an internal acquisition. She has been able to create and maintain all 4 companies compliantly and all within a reasonable cost. Her professionalism and knowledge in the corporate legal world is impeccable. I would highly recommend her to any start up company or anyone who needs to do a restructure.

Kelly Bagla, Esq thank you for the excellent lawful solutions. Kelly is pro-business, actionable, competitor, and licit legal powerhouse. Kelly is the perfect person to translate and navigate you through the legalese of your estate and business planning when you simply need prompt and decisive answers.

Samin is a wonderful attorney, especially in challenging divorce cases. She was my attorney and helped me through my non-amicable divorce. She is honest, knowledgeable, and guided me through the divorce process. She gives excellent advice in order to ensure the best possible outcome for your case. She worked very diligently and is very easy to talk to. She also makes sure that you thoroughly understand your case. Samin and her staff are very professional, friendly, and willing to answer your questions. I feel I am very blessed to have had her represent me and I would highly recommend her to my friends and family if they ever needed a family law attorney.

Kelly is absolutely amazing. If you are looking for a business attorney - ways to protect your business - whether you are a 'one man/one woman show' or a large business entity - she is truly the best. She can help one decide which avenues are most beneficial - through incorporating and drafting the right contacts. Thank you Kelly - your experience and knowledge of the law and how it impacts business coupled with your warm heart are truly one of a kind.

As a Mediator, business owner and former attorney I feel I have a good grasp of who in the legal profession is there to add value to my business and who is there to add value to their business. You guessed it I have to give Kelly Bagla 5 stars for being one of the truly exceptional attorneys who are there to add value to you and your business. She will help you, no matter the stage you are in: start-up, growth, transition or working towards retirement to ensure you are fully protected and in many cases have successfully established an asset you can sell. Kelly has the skill and experience she earned working with the high profile big billing law firms, but she brings you that knowledge, skill and experience for a fraction of the price because, like any good business person, she shed the overhead and can pass the savings on to you without diluting her services. If you own a business in California and you're not protected, it may not be too late to protect your assets by working with Kelly Bagla. Check her out!

Kelly is a consummate professional and is highly experienced at what she does. Trust Kelly to help you make sure your business gets off to the right start or to re-examine what you have in place already and make sure you're covered properly!

I went through 2 other attorneys before I found Samin and hopefully I'll never have to work with anyone else because she is FAR superior to the previous two that I worked with. She is honest and has integrity unlike so many in this field who just prey upon people that are already at their lowest. Her fees are more reasonable than most and like another reviewer said, she is great at having her paralegal do as much as possible which keeps her billable hours to a minimum. I won't lie, she is tough to get a hold of at times, but she does always get back to me within a reasonable time frame. She has been great at working with the opposing attorney (who is not an easy guy to work with!) and keeping us out of court as much as possible. The few times we had to go to court, she did a great job in presenting my side of things and getting the fairest agreement in place when my ex was trying to get as much money and custody as possible. I think part of the reason she is tough to get a hold of at times is because she is so busy and gives each client great attention when working on their case. I think she is busy because she is GOOD. I would never want to work with another attorney.

If you want to surround yourself (and manage your business) by the best and most successful professionals, contact Kelly, she will make it happen for you. Dr. T

Kelly is a Five Star Business Attorney. She understands what it means to be in business as a solo preanieur and she KNOWS the laws that effect small businesses. She has written two books, "Go Legal Yourself" which is a must read for every person who has started, operates, or is considering starting a small business. I could tell you what I learned from reading it but more important I highly recommend you buy it and read it so you will gain the knowledge and educate yourself. She will soon publish her second book and I can pretty much guarantee it will be as valuable to business owners as "Go Legal Yourself". I highly recommend Kelly Begala for all you business Legal requirements. Chef Bob Johnson Coronado Catering

Hiring a divorce attorney to handle your divorce is a crucial decision. If you are leaving a marriage with children, assets and debts to be divided, who represents you during your divorce can determine how well you fair emotionally and financially post divorce. Nothing can derail your divorce faster than following lousy divorce advice. Believe me, I know this situation due to my own experience as I had to search for another attorney midway through my divorce case. My case was too far in that I contemplated on wanting to finish my situation with my initial attorney. But, I felt the lack of memory on even the most basic details about my case, an overlooked filing requesting for a child support order which was forgotten about (which was 9 months of child support I couldn’t collect), a missed hearing, and even the lack of responsiveness a few days before a court hearing. It always left me going into court not knowing what was going on. It actually left me more anxious and stressed where I questioned myself, why am I not changing attorneys? Thankfully, they moved to another firm, and it gave me an opportunity to search for another attorney mid-case without it being detrimental to my case, which was a blessing in disguise despite the stress of now finding a new attorney but now TRUSTING them given I had a bad one, to begin with. When searching for another attorney, you generally base your next move off of reviews you find, follow up with a consultation, and decide from there. Luckily, for me, I was able to see how Samin represented clients first hand while I was waiting for my case to be called up next. What I saw in the courtroom was an attorney who was professional, courteous, competent, very knowledgeable, responsible, and always one step ahead of the process and was never caught by surprise by any obstacles. It was at that moment that I knew she was what my case needed. I needed someone who would represent me the way she did for her clients that day as she was fierce and fearless when fighting for her clients. But given my hesitation due to my previous attorney, I had to make sure her reviews matched what was seen in court, all of them did say very similar things, and were highly rated, so I made the call for consultation, and the rest was history. I consider myself a very detail oriented person, sometimes pushing the boundaries on the patience of the person providing the details. I was very relieved and pleased when I found that Samin and her staff were the same way, very communicative, and responsive. I always felt I knew the status of where things were as she kept me updated with each step of the process. I was still well informed, and if I had any questions, she would thoroughly address each concern to where I was able to understand it, which can be very complicated not to mention overwhelming. Believe me, I can ask a lot of questions because I want to be sure I understand the entirety of it but never once did I feel it was a burden to her as she has rare compassion that I find lacking amongst other family lawyers. If I could describe Samin and her staff in a few words it would be impossible to find the right words, but it would be: no-nonsense, straight to the point, understanding, and very professional. Going through this process was definitely an eye-opener, and I wouldn't wish divorce on anyone, let alone the process. But if I could’ve changed anything, I would've started off with Samin being my representing council as it would’ve saved me my sanity on so many levels over the first 1.5 yrs. Samin, you came at the right time and became an incredible blessing for me, and I am genuinely grateful for all of your minutes/hours/days/weeks that you have put towards my case, I couldn't say it enough, but thank YOU!

As a local General Contractor in Encinitas I can highly recommend Bagla Law Firm. Kelly Bagla has been a great asset in getting our company up to California's strict compliance requirements, including writing up contracts and work agreements which we use with clients, vendors and subcontractors. They also produced our Employee handbooks and various other documents. Kelly is very helpful, easy to talk to and proactive in her approach to helping her clients.

As a certified public accountant, I've known Kelly as a colleague for over 3 years. She has been professional and courteous with the representation of her services and introduced many solutions that have exceeded my client's expectations. Her level of knowledge in citing civil law for her clients has been handled with the utmost prudency and has been precise to the fact pattern represented. Most importantly, Kelly's integrity for which I value most from any professional is ALWAYS in conformance to the ethics of her profession. I always feel safe and confident in providing her dilemmas from my clients and know that she will provide results that will assist my clients peace of mind. In conclusion, I consider her talents to be top notched for which any prospective business owner would see great value of retaining her to protecting their business(es) as well as themselves.
