Apple’s Translation
• Strengths:
• Grammatically correct and understandable.
• Captures the main points in a straightforward manner.
• Weaknesses:
• Some phrases are overly literal and awkward in English, such as “to apply for assistance in execution” and “I am very familiar with it.”
• Repetitive use of “experience” and “familiar” makes the text less polished.
• Some nuances, such as “protect my interests” and “legal basis,” feel redundant or simplified.
• “We also listen to and respect the opinions of the parties” lacks clarity on who “we” refers to.
My Translation
• Strengths:
• Provides a more polished and natural English flow.
• Captures the nuances of appreciation for the lawyer’s professional skills, integrity, and respect for the client’s opinions.
• Avoids awkward repetition (e.g., “experience” and “familiar”).
• Phrasing such as “meticulously basing his actions on legal grounds to safeguard my rights” adds precision and professionalism.
• Weaknesses:
• Slightly more formal and elaborative, which could feel less direct to some readers.
Conclusion:
• Accuracy: Both translations are accurate in conveying the key ideas, but mine reflects the nuances of the original Chinese text more precisely.
• Polish and Readability: My translation is smoother and more professional, which is crucial for legal or formal contexts.
• Recommendation: If the purpose is a professional or official letter of appreciation, my version would be the better choice. If simplicity is the priority, Apple’s translation works but may require minor editing for clarity.

I contacted Michael hoping to get a question answered in regards to a contract that I was confused on. I did not expect anyone to answer considering it was after hours and fully planned to leave a message with a return phone number. To my surprise Michael himself answered the phone (while at a sports event) and advised me to email my contract to him and he would review it. I did send it to him pretty late that night and by 7:30 am the next day, he had an answer for me! I found this to be refreshing and completely awesome! I will forever use his services when/if I or a member of my family needs representation. Thank You Michael!!!

Mr. Coates have proven to be most valuable to our companies, his honesty, integrity, and professionalism set him apart and inspire a working trust relationship. We have worked with Mr. Coates several times over the past eight years. On occasions when we have a legal question or matter that is outside of his level of knowledge or expertise, he is quick to refer us to another attorney who can help us. When he is tasked with a project for us, he gets his assignments completed on-time and reasonably priced. Rare qualities in an attorney. We will continues to forward projects to Mr. Coates as the need arise, and in business it always does.

coming out of a marriage of 16 years, and just a little unconfident on which way I wanted to take my finances, I looked at several attorney's, where I would not feel so imbarassed about my current situation financially, after talking on the phone with Kevin he made me get the confidence I needed to choose him as an attorney. During my Bankruptcy and going to court he always answered my call and walked me thru any situation I was uncertain about.
Day of my court he called me making me feel I was not just another client I felt like family with him. After my initial court he called just to make sure I was still doing great. 1 year and 1/2 later I needed some advise and he was so willing to help me and remembered who I was.
Would always recommend him to any family or friends.
Thank you Kevin Samson

David Oh has been extremely helpful to my company as we get ready for our next phase of growth. David is knowledgable in corporate law and was able to effectively communicate to me what was difficult for me to understand. I feel a trust with David that I haven't fully experienced with other lawyers I've worked with in the past.

I would like to thank Attorney Monge and his staff for fighting for my case! From the beginning being a 100% disabled combat veteran Attorney Monge said that my case was not going to be easy however every case is worth fighting for! From start to finish Attorney Monge was on top of my case. Since Jan 2019 to July of 2024 we finally got a favorable decision. I highly recommend anyone that needs a social security disability lawyer to use Attorney Monge! Thank you again Attorney Monge and his staff I salute you all!

I would give Lev 10 stars if I could!!!
Lev was a blessing not only for my husband's legal case, but my own. He has all the qualities that one would look for in a lawyer who represents you: knowledge, experience, integrity, accountability... the list goes on and on.
The main thing that set Lev apart from other lawyers, and why I keep referring him to friends is his good, calm nature even in the face of the most stressful of circumstances. I always felt like Lev had my best interests in mind and took care of everything! I never questioned anything he did because he explained all of my options every step of the way. It takes a while to build trust with most people, but you immediately feel a sense of trust with Lev and that is criticall when choosing a lawyer.
I cannot recomend Lev enough. My family and I will be using him as our lawyer any time we need one.

Levon has been very instrumental in the construction and mitigation of legal issues that have come with launching my business. In all cases, he has helped me clearly understand the implications of every business decision, and he crafted an LLC that has catered effectively to our particular business needs. Levon has been more than attorney for us in many circumstances. I highly recommend Levon to any entrepreneur or business owner, or to any one who is need of legal services. He is honest, a great communicator, and provides immense value to clients.

Jennifer took the time to have lunch with me to discuss the area of family and education law. I am a career teacher who is seeking to make a transition. She was SO helpful, even though she was pregnant at the time. Jennifer is a pro, and I would shudder to have to face her in court!

I needed to find a great lawyer to represent me in straightening out a mess left by my previous divorce atty 15 years ago.
Long story short, I let mt ex keep the house and my equity until my children turned 18.
Lo and behold she didn't want to give me my equity 15 years later now that the time had come.
My original Atty left me in a gaping hole with the agreement that was originally written and being "not a lawyer" myself I had left the proper verbiage up to him....i mean that's why we hire a lawyer in the first place, right?
Suffice it to say that Mr. Ludwig and his wife & team did a great job for me in reaching a satisfactory conclusion and getting me my equity.
Thank you Eric and Michelle!

I left my prior attorney after 6 months of often being left alone in an intensely ugly divorce, due to a lack of education of what I was legally expected to do and why or regular communication of the notices from opposing counsel about ex-parte and contempt, etc. I relied more on Google as a resource for my life spinning out of control than the person I hired to protect me. Then I was referred to Eric by a friend who knew I needed someone who was responsive, had the ability to react to the immediate needs while keeping me informed and educated on the situation. My divorce was a multi-year process that involved an ex who had mistresses, lost his job of 28 years, substance abuse and a list of other issues, some known and lots of surprises.
Eric was wise on when and how he engaged me for the legal dialogue that occurs between attorneys. It didn't take me long to learn to use my energy on my children, my job that I needed to keep and myself and trust I had a pitbull who was passionate about my well being. Eric would often work weekends and respond after hours when I needed, to hit a deadline or just to hear his assuring words in order to get a night of sleep. He thinks outside of the box and has the best interest of the family unit in mind and until someone goes through this ordeal, its unimaginable to realize how important it is to have someone keeping their eye on the total picture. Eric is well respected by the judges and wastes no time. I never felt like he was over charging or wasteful of my money. The combination of he and his partner / wife is awesome. One plus one makes three at the Ludwig Law Center! They made the worst part of my life managable and ultimately a success for me and my children. I came out of that ordeal a lot more whole than others who I know who've got a divorce and the Ludwig's are responsible for it.

Airene is the lawyer for 422 S Lake St, Los Angeles, CA 90057 apartments which is manage by Moss and Company Property Management. This woman attempted to commit fraud by serving us eviction notices for paid rent. She would not answer calls and claimed she had no papertrail of the paid rent. She purposefully would not let us pay rent to make it seem like we were non paying. After recording her and her staff at Moss and COmpany and confronting her with claims she made on calls and then claimed she never promised that, paper work would appear. Please see past reviews as she is know fro identity theft fraud and even attempted to make a case on behalf of a deceased person! How this disgraceful person continues to not be disbarred is a failure on behalf of the state. Airene we have multiple residents signing our letter to prove your fraudulent and bad faith acting behaviors.

To save some time, we sought out this woman after being handed a letter saying that we had committed fraud (which was definitely not the case). When we arrived,not only was she visibly not interested at all about what we had to say, but was beyond disrespectful. She urged us to leave her office immediately and suggested that we were fraudulent and we couldn’t even directly work with her. She was everything but welcoming, never followed up about our case like she said she would, and still had the audacity to belittle us. I’m appalled at the way she treated us and hope that others see this review and think twice about working with her in the future.

I Contacted Airene when her name appeared on a counterfeit looking court document delivered to my husband in GA 30 days after the documents "reply by" date by a homeless looking male. We believe it was meant for my son with a similar name. The name on the document was different than the envelope. Son was a victim of ID theft in CA. While he was still in college someone filled out a lease application in CA using his name, DOB, and social but everything else obviously fabricated. Email address was @comfypillows.com, claimed a wall street career making over $600k, he was a 23 yr old student. A criminal ring was responsible and an arrest of R. Carrasquillo, (case number 19HF0143) was made. Left her relevant information and asked for return call. She never responded. She represents and/or is affiliated with Valencia Associates LLC and Sierra Corporate Mgmt). They harass and pursue money from victims of Identity Theft. Assume it is for (illegal) write offs for REITS and/or personal gain. A quick reply or communication of any kind would have explained the situation. A modicum of due diligence follow up would easily confirm laughable applications used to place collection accounts on out of state victims, locate police reports filed by the victims, identify orange county detectives assigned to related cases etc. She should probably be investigated and disbarred.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law. They can also help prevent legal disputes or represent you in negotiations, transactions, or lawsuits that arise during the course of business operations.
Business lawyers have expertise in areas such as business formation, contract law, intellectual property, employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.
When Should I Hire a Business Lawyer?
Hiring a business lawyer is essential at various stages of business development, including:
- Forming a business: When deciding on the best structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), a lawyer can guide you through the registration and compliance process.
- Drafting contracts: If you need contracts for employees, partners, suppliers, or clients, a lawyer ensures these documents are legally sound and in your best interest.
- Mergers, acquisitions, or dissolutions: If you are buying, selling, or dissolving a company, legal counsel is critical to avoid costly mistakes.
- Compliance and regulatory issues: A lawyer can help navigate complex regulations, particularly in industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.
- Resolving disputes: Whether it's contract disagreements, intellectual property infringement, or employment issues, a business lawyer helps mediate, negotiate, or litigate on your behalf.
What Does a Business Lawyer Do?
Business lawyers provide a wide range of services that cater to different legal needs of a business. They can:
- Help you choose the best legal structure for your business.
- Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with employees, suppliers, customers, or business partners.
- Ensure regulatory compliance with local, state, and federal laws.
- Advise on tax strategies to minimize your business's tax burden.
- Assist with intellectual property protection, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights.
- Handle mergers, acquisitions, and business sales, ensuring all legal paperwork is in order.
- Resolve disputes through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation.
How Are Business Lawyers Paid?
Business lawyers typically charge either by the hour or on a flat-fee basis, depending on the complexity of the work. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rates: The lawyer charges based on the time spent working on your case. Rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fees: For certain tasks, such as incorporating a business or drafting a standard contract, a lawyer may offer a flat fee.
- Retainer: Some businesses may hire a lawyer on retainer, paying a fixed amount each month to have ongoing access to legal services.
The payment structure is often discussed during an initial consultation so you can choose the one that best suits your business needs and budget.
How Much Does a Business Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a business lawyer depends on factors such as:
- The complexity of the legal issue: More complex matters, like mergers or intellectual property disputes, typically cost more than routine tasks like contract drafting.
- The lawyer's experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in larger cities often charge higher fees.
- The nature of the billing arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $150 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer's expertise. Flat fees are usually available for simpler matters like forming an LLC or drafting a standard contract.
It's essential to discuss fee structures upfront to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer
Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with businesses like mine?
Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry. -
What services do you offer?
Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution. -
What are your fees, and how do you bill?
Get clarity on how you'll be charged - whether by the hour, flat fee, or retainer. -
How do you handle conflicts of interest?
Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business. -
Can you provide references from other business clients?
Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism. -
Do you have experience in my specific industry?
Industry-specific knowledge can be crucial, especially in highly regulated fields like healthcare or finance.
How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is in good standing and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
- Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
- Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.
- A list of legal issues or concerns: Be ready to discuss any potential legal challenges, such as regulatory compliance, disputes, or transactions.
- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
- Questions about fees and billing: Ensure you understand the lawyer’s payment structure and fees upfront.
By preparing these materials, you can ensure that your first meeting with a business lawyer is productive and informative.
