Lawyer Lu's help towards us was phenomenal throughout the whole process! My parents received their green cards in less than 4 months, which was way faster than I expected! She kept us regularly updated throughout the whole process, and she was very patient and answered all of my calls warmly and respectfully. We couldn't have asked for better service and are beyond grateful for her!

I have known Mrs. Kirk for 29 years having gone through law school with her. She is respected by the Court and has always worked tirelessly to aid her clients in the most appropriate case resolutions. On the cases I have been privy to, she has shown care for the well being of her client and their families and her dispositions, including alternative sentences, speak to her years of experience.

First time going through a law experience due to being involved in a car accident. I chose to move forward with Rony, because he was kind, trustworthy, and honest. I had no idea how the process is done but he explained to me the process and was very communicative. He kept me informed of every step he was going to proceed with. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. I appreciate his hard work and dedication, I received a settlement that exceeded my expectations! I would recommend going with the Saleh Law Group (Rony) moving forward to everyone!

Formal Complaint Regarding Legal Representation by Robert Phan
Background
I retained the legal services of Robert Phan of Garcia and Phan for representation in two legal matters, engaging his services based on a personal referral and his claims of 20+ years of legal experience.
Specific Concerns with Legal Representation
1. Court Appearances and Professional Negligence
During the course of representation, I received multiple court notices indicating warrants for my arrest due to alleged failure to appear. Upon investigation, these warrants were a direct result of Mr. Phan's repeated failure to appear in court, despite assurances that he would handle all court dates on my behalf.
2. Ineffective Case Management
Contrary to initial confidence, Mr. Phan did not pursue optimal case resolution strategies:
*He prioritized "keeping me out of jail" over potentially dismissing cases
*Suggested proceeding to trial, explicitly noting increased expenses
*Indicated need to bring in additional counsel, suggesting inadequate expertise for the cases
3. Incomplete Case Review and Discovery
Critical issues were identified regarding case preparation:
*Mr. Phan requested I recall specific case dates, despite having this information in police reports
*Failed to thoroughly review discovery documents
*Claimed to have lost discovery materials for one of my cases
4. Missed Legal Opportunities
An independent attorney confirmed that one case potentially qualified for dismissal due to expired statute of limitations - an avenue Mr. Phan failed to explore.
Communication Breakdown
After expressing dissatisfaction with the services rendered, I requested a refund. My attempts to communicate via phone, email, and text were systematically ignored.
Requested Action
I am formally requesting a comprehensive review of the legal services provided by Robert Phan, with particular attention to:
1. Professional conduct
2. Case management practices
3. Client communication standards
Conclusion
The representation provided fell significantly below the professional standards expected of legal counsel, causing substantial professional and personal disruption.

Stuart did a great job when he created my Trust, Will, and LLC in 2017 when he was with a different practice. Now in 2025, I needed to update my Trust so I tracked Stuart down and found him in his own practice. Very thorough, yet very easy going personality. I highly recommend Stuart for your estate planning.

From the very beginning of the process, where I had a phone conversation with Stuart, we felt very confident that we had chosen the right attorney firm for our case. Later, when Juanita took over the responsibility for our case, and started interacting with us, the confidence and trust just kept growing each time we communicated with her. Finally, the actual process of meeting with Juanita in order to go over everything and finalize our case went extremely well. Both Juanita and Stuart demonstrated outstanding professionalism as well as expertise throughout the entire process.
In conclusion, my wife and I know exactly which attorney firm to contact for our next possible case.

I had the pleasure of working with Mr Sasan Okhovat and his team for my recent accident case, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. From our first meeting, they were incredibly professional and compassionate, making me feel at ease during a very stressful time.
Mr. Sasan communicated clearly throughout the entire process, explaining each step and ensuring I understood my options. He fought diligently on my behalf and was always available to answer any questions I had. I received the best settlement I could have hoped for. I highly recommend Priority Law Group specifically Mr Sasan to anyone in need of a reliable and effective accident.
Thank you again!

In December of 2019 I had a slip and fall and was not sure how to proceed. I was doing my research looking for a great experienced attorney that would be able to handle my case. Since the first day Sasan Okhovat did his best in making sure I received all medical assistance needed. Without him & his team I don't know where I would be. After almost 5 years Sasan and his team settled my case with a great value. The whole team at Priority Law Group did their best in understanding my point of view in every aspect & helping me in any assistance I needed. SASAN IS THE ONE TO GO TO WHEN LOOKING FOR A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY! I will definitely be recommending him to family and friends!
PS// If you're viewing this I suggest to reach out for a free consultation.

I recently hired this firm and Sabrina to help me with a car accident where my vehicle was T- boned by another vehicle. Not only did she help me navigate and win liability, she also helped me with the personal injury aspect of the car accident.
Sabrina's approach is hands-on and personal, a refreshing change from the usual experience of navigating through intermediaries in legal matters. She was always accessible, providing direct support and clear answers to my questions. I can safely say, that I understood everything every step of the way and I was very comfortable. I felt she understood the pain I felt and was able to relay that to the insurance company.
Sabrina took the time to understand my case in-depth, ensuring a tailored service that genuinely prioritized my well-being. Her dedication was evident in every interaction, making the legal process far less daunting and securing the best possible outcome for me.
If you're in need of a personal injury lawyer who truly cares and offers a personalized experience, Sabrina is the one to go to. I am immensely grateful for her support!

I seeked Will's advice on multiple occasions and each time he offered great advice and help to help make a stressful situation less overwhelming and more bearable. I don't know what I would've done if not for Will and his team. Will was on top of each case I threw at him and offered me the best advice while walking me through different options to figure out the best way forward. Overall, great experience despite the circumstances.

I couldn’t be happier with the legal services Will provided. True to the name, Small Law, the job I had for Will was very small. Fortunately for me, Will took on the work even though he was in the midst of a trial and very busy.
Will gave me excellent advice and I walked away feeling that he’s is an ethical and caring attorney. I’ll be returning to Will for my future needs regarding contract reviews and revisions.

Without being too open, I've experienced mediocre lawyers in the past, and I've been cynical since. Will Small broke that view that I had. He was attentive, proactive, incredibly competent, and empathetic to the situation he helped me through. I would highly recommend him for defense against a big corporation coming after you.

Douglass Mckeague came highly recommended to me from a close friend. I had a previous lawyer completely fumble my case, so to say the least, I was a little nervous to hire another lawyer. I was at the end of my rope with a high conflict custody dispute and something had to change.
His expertise in family law and diplomatic approach was the key factor in the resolution of my custody agreement. Best decision I’ve made was retaining Mr. McKeague! I must say he's the most honest, kind and genuine attorney I've ever met. Seriously, the best family lawyer in Orange County! Thank you again for your service!!

I'm not here to rate the work of this buffet as defenders, but to say that they are very irresponsible people, anyone who is in the finance department, along with the supervisor. I have been waiting for a refund of $20,000, for more than 6 months... which was supposed to happen in 3-4 weeks. And every time I call, absolutely no one can help me, I have sent emails to support and there is no answer either, they tell me that on Monday, gosh, I'm calling on Monday. I think that if they are not responsible in one thing, they are not responsible in anything.

John was able to advise on all our options plus he gave his professional opinion as to what would he best for us.

If you need help, call their office. He is quick to respond and get you the help you need. Friendly, efficient, professional.

Seth Bowen has been a huge help in my current case. I highly recommend him. He is to the point, experienced, and honest where he can help or not, in regard to representation and providing services. He is experienced in Family Law and has experience with judges in Van Nuys Court.

Thank you Seth, and look forward to working with you in the future.

You know when a lawyer has a 5 star rating...something is fishy. I experienced this first hand. You only talk to the paralegal and never hear from Seth. We have been waiting for weeks on his response to a matter....and crickets. I recommend you don't get fooled by these ratings.

I recently hired Seth and his team to help me renegotiate a perviously agreed alimony settlement that I felt was not reflective of my Ex's and my current situation. Seth was understanding and supportive, and helped me to have the alimony rescinded. The whole process was made easy and without stress, and ultimately I was very satisfied with the outcome. I couldn't recommend Seth and his Team more. If you are looking for a fair and honest legal representative then this is your best choice. I was initially unsure of my legal options but after discussing everything thoroughly with Seth, I was glad that I decided to move ahead with him and his Paralegal, Nik, who was helpful, patient and a pleasure to communicate with.

I hired Ms. Joyce, then it got delegated to her team and she wasn’t really involved in most of the rest of the work - which was surprising as I hired her specifically. The work of her team was a disaster.
She made little substantive effort to supervise their work, such as apparently never reading the final document to be submitted to court – which was . . . very bad.
Based on my experience, Ms. Joyce also seems to play fast and loose with the rules, which is the exact opposite of what you want from an attorney with the State Bar. This is not entirely surprising for a lawyer who worked at the CA State Bar during all the scandals of Girardi.
Overall, at times the idea that this team has passed the Bar, let alone represent clients, was honestly surprising. For example, Erin Joyce's filings in court messed up service of process, not just once, but multiple times – for over nine months. How do you mess up service of process once, let alone multiple times?
This was a rookie league error. Then Ms. Joyce argued in court a mistaken understanding of personal jurisdiction, missing first year Civil Procedure. The court tore their arguments apart. It was literally a clown show of stupidity. These guys are not just a joke they are downright dangerous.
Based on my experience, whereby they improperly disclosed privileged materials on multiple occasions, they don’t appear to take Attorney Client Privilege seriously – and if a lawyer doesn’t take that seriously, I would find alternative counsel real quickly.
The work quality I got from her team was laughably bad, my other lawyers referred to it as “garbage” and “unusable.” The billing was absolutely egregious, like how in the world did they bill this much for such garbage?
Don’t believe my word, just search online – Joyce has sued multiple clients when the clients terminate her for malpractice, and this isn’t surprising.
Most shady of all, when I got the bill for the "garbage" work they produced, I asked questions on the billables including whether Ms. Joyce had review them - Ms. Joyce never substantively responded to these inquiries.
In my experience, Joyce’s team’s lack of knowledge of operative law was astounding. For example, in my case, there were applicable state Supreme Court cases on the subject, but they spent almost no time (if any) on this type of research so failed to properly mount a defense.
Like another comment here, I had the Joyce team deliver a work product at the absolute 11th hour. Why? There was kind of plenty of time. And, in fact, after promises that it would be ready – instead, the final draft was provided on the final day it was due, and it was highly problematic and not ready for prime time.
Overall, if you are talking to Joyce, you probably need someone you can really trust - this is not that team. They have no idea what they are doing. Run away.

We are very happy to recommend TS and her firm to anyone needing assistance in obtaining a Green Card or U.S. Visa. They were very professional in their handling of our case and clearly explained the process, timeline and what was required of us. They provided frequent updates and answered all our questions, which there were many as this process was entirely new to us. I think we may have even asked the same questions numerous times until we finally understood, LOL. The commission for their services is very reasonable. We wouldn’t have been able to secure the Green Card without their help and we wouldn’t recommend trying on your own.

It was nerve-wracking for me to go through the divorce process. I was having difficulty accepting and understanding why this happened but found calm with the help of Chelsea. Her thoughtfulness and sensitivity to my needs made me feel at ease and cope with what's in front of me, my daughter's emotional well being and what financial support was required for her and her mother. I followed and finished the recommended courses which expanded my understanding of my new life as a responsible father in a single parent household. Thank you for all you have done for me.

I have followed Chelsea on Instagram for over a year and love her relationship/prenup advice and education. I first purchased her Marry Me Smart course and then decided to use Chelsea to represent me as my partner and I drafted up our premarital agreement. At first I was anxious about the process but Chelsea is so knowledgeable and made the process easy, understandable and a positive experience. Thank you Chelsea for setting our relationship up for success!

Emily and Alex represented me during the development of my premarital agreement. I was under a time crunch and they both did quick and extremely thorough work. Emily and Alex were both very kind and I enjoyed working with them. I appreciated that they took the time to carefully explain various legal details. I hope I never need a family lawyer in the future, but if I did, I would absolutely work with them again!

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.
