We were referred to Nikki by another of her clients after reaching out to three other attorneys in the area to draft a family trust. Nikki was by far the friendliest and most responsive. It was a pleasure meeting with her about estate planning as she made it all very understandable and affordable. We feel much more at ease knowing she's handled everything and can assist in the future.

Nikki was hired by me to deal with an unpleasant situation with my "landlord", which is actually a larger management company. Through no fault of my own, my apartment had been uninhabitable for nearly a month, and I could barely get them to acknowledge me. She sprang to action on my behalf immediately, never once backing down. In her interactions with my landlord, she somehow managed to be courteous yet authoritative and was quite effective in her communications. On a personal level, Nikki was knowledgeable, empathetic, responsive, reassuring, and exceedingly patient with me, continually going above and beyond what I ever could have asked or expected of her. She ensured that I knew that she was in my corner, and that she was dedicated to making things right for me. Not only did Nikki prevail for me, she took a weight off of my shoulders when I felt lost, alone, and ignored. She is not just a reputable, experienced lawyer whom I would hire again in an instant, but a truly special person as well. 100% recommend!

I first hired Nikki Allen to get her help an issue concerning my father’s trust, of which I am a beneficiary. The trustee we had in place turned out to be engaged in illegal activity. Nikki quickly took control, had the trustee removed, and has been involved with me every step of the way since. There is no trust, real estate or probate matter that Nikki could not be an asset to. Working with Nikki on my father’s trust, made me realize that I needed to create a trust and redo the wills for my own family’s assets. Nikki worked with me to make sure that everything was put together according to my needs. I was extremely happy with the finished product. I can not recommend the work of Nikki Allen highly enough.

You want Ali representing you. He was able to solve an unresolvable, ongoing dispute within three days AND help us gain more than initial expectations. His frankness, intelligence, and speed, make him an amazing negotiator, who isn't going to waste anyone's time. He was upfront about everything.
In dealing with our case, he kept us informed on new findings at any hour of the day. We all know the feeling of nervously waiting, but Ali ensured that we received information promptly.
Ali was a huge lift off our shoulders, after months in the ringer.
Thank you Ali!

I worked with Ali with handling payments problems I was having with being paid by a large corporate company. We had a start up that had funds withheld from our sales we made using their payments platform.
Ali was very knowledgeable about what my options were to resolve the situation. We spent time going over all the problems and communication. Then we decided on next steps.
Ali drafted a letter and sent to the company, which we had very positive results.
I would recommend Ali for any software companies looking for expertise around any legal actions needed.

I spoke with 3 other options before finding Julia, and she was by far the most competent, capable and friendly of the bunch. During the whole process, I had the feeling that she truly had my best interests at heart. I'm planning to go to her for all my small business needs. Thanks so much!

Working with Julia was an absolute joy. As co-founders of a new startup, we found ourselves faced with numerous questions, concerns, and creative ideas that required legal guidance. Julia demonstrated an unwavering commitment to addressing each and every issue, regardless of its complexity or relevance.
Not only did Julia deliver the requested services with professionalism and efficiency, but she also took the time to educate and inform us about the legal intricacies involved in our enterprise. Her advice, insights, and foresight in future planning have been invaluable to our startup phase.
As we continue to expand our company, we are confident that having Julia as our legal consultant and counsel will prove to be an immense asset. We wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone in need of legal expertise and personalized attention.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Deborah Raymond for my bankruptcy case, and I cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Navigating the complexities of bankruptcy can be overwhelming, but Deborah made the entire process smooth and understandable.
She took the time to explain each step, answered all of my questions in detail, and provided clear guidance on what to expect. What really stood out was her empathy—she made sure I felt supported and reassured every step of the way. Deborah's experience in bankruptcy law is evident, and her attention to detail ensured that everything was handled correctly.
Thanks to Deborah's hard work, my case was resolved successfully, and I now have a fresh financial start.
If you are considering filing for bankruptcy or need help with any related issues, I highly recommend Deborah Raymond. She is truly an expert in her field and a wonderful advocate for her clients.

Deborah was such a delight to speak with. She took her time to ask my husband and I, numerous questions, to determine if our case was feasible at this time. Deborah gave us pros, cons, her expertise thoughts, and made sure we understood obstacles we may encounter, due to our own situation. Deborah was honest & truthful, we all agreed and determined it was not feasible for us at this time. If in the future we need these services, I will definitely be calling Deborah. If you’re looking for services from Deborah, look no further and know that you are being taken care of.
Thank YOU Deborah 🌺

Ana helped my friend Victor with his case. She is so professional, kind hearted, loyal, hard working, consistent, considerate, and compassionate. She truly believes in justice. She has changed his life for the better. Ana, this was your God given assignment. You are a one of a kind. A BEAST in the courtroom and I say that in the most sincere way! Ana takes her time, is very thorough and thoughtful and she stops and nothing to give you what you truly deserve! May God ALWAYS be with you Ana.

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!!

Our family had two big concerns: whether MediCal might seek recovery from our brother's share of inherited real property that was still held in our family trust, and secondly, whether his personal property may be vulnerable unless he had his own trust set up. Internet research on MediCal recovery and the 2017 SB833 bill led us to Amity Law Group. I read their perspective on MediCal recovery, watched an introductory video and decided I to ask for a free consultation on our concern. It was easy to set up, the appointment was set for just a few days from my call, and today we met. After going over the fact pattern we got great news -- the family trust protects against MediCal recovery, and our brother's assets fall below the recovery threshold. The Amity Law attorney was happy to have helped, the consult really was without charge, and there was no attempt for an upsell. I take this firm as more than just honest, but one that is in it for service -- certainly this time without pay! Thank you, Amity Law Group, for hearing our question and taking a huge weight off the shoulders of our family. May this review help drive paying customers your direction!

I am deeply grateful to Aden from ALG for his remarkable generosity and support during a challenging time in my life. As a struggling healthcare student overwhelmed by financial burdens and admittedly naive about my legal rights, I found myself in need of legal advice without the means to afford it. Aden provided invaluable guidance and support without any expectation of compensation in return. Despite my lack of knowledge, he took the time to educate me and ensure I understood my rights. Rather than capitalizing on my circumstances, as some firms might, he provided genuine legal advice, offered his best wishes, and handled the situation with integrity. The firm's selflessness and dedication to helping others, regardless of financial constraints, are truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend ALG to anyone seeking legal assistance, knowing they will receive not only expert guidance but also genuine care and support. Thank you!

Bereliani Law Firm went beyond my expectations!
Sanaz has a good team and thorough system to ensure your bankruptcy gets finalized.
I am self employed, my case was more in depth.
I interviewed several attorneys in San Diego and LA area and they were suggesting Chapter 13 and avoiding chapter 7 because of my equity in my home, they said I was limited on exemptions ie and my vehicle and personal property were at risk!
Sanaz is very creative with creating and interpreting exemptions that the other attorneys NEVER mentioned and or understood, interpreting exemptions is very important, ie “Commercial Work Vehicle” (Truck) verses “vehicle”, that changed the game, the trustee wanted more money for my work truck and was also trying me on personal property and Sanaz put them in check!
She got my Chapter 7 discharged, I kept my condo equity, I owed nothing for my commercial work truck and personal items.
The other attorneys I interviewed were ok with having me agree to make an uncomfortable stressful payment plan to make it easy for them to file chapter 13….
Sanaz and her team tolerated all my calls and emails = STRESS and got me through it.
Sanaz and her team are the ones you want to represent you!!! Worth every dollar!!!
Thank you Sanaz!!!

4 years ago I was facing serious consequences for an incident that changed the course of my career and life. Thanks to Gary Barthel and his team, he helped fight for me to get a better outcome and navigate the process to be able to complete the court requirements to reduce the punishment and ultimately expunge my record. If you're active duty or a veteran in any kind of trouble with civilian or military law I would recommend getting in touch with military law center.

I am a combat veteran, with 10 years of service. In the fall of 2020, I received a call from the Public Defender’s office asking me if I was going to use their services. I told her that she must have the wrong number. She confirmed that she in fact had the correct number. She went on to tell me I was being indicted on two felony counts for attempting to exercise my 2nd Amendment right to purchase a shotgun. I thought, “This is some kind of joke.” It was not.
In the summer of 2016, I was taken to a hospital by the police for an alcohol related incident. Prior to leaving the hospital for home, I apparently signed a document acknowledging that I could not purchase a firearm for 5 years. I don’t remember this or really anything about that night.
After becoming sober, four years later in December 2019, I attempted to purchase a shotgun so I could teach my son to shoot. On the 7th day of the 10-day waiting period I received a phone call that the gun store could not release the weapon to me. I didn’t know why. Two months later I was contacted by an investigator asking why I tried to purchase a gun. “You are barred from owning a firearm” he said. This was news to me. He explained that almost four years earlier I was given what’s called a 5150. This means that a doctor had determined that I am a danger to myself and others. I don’t remember ever hearing those words from a doctor.
I was given a public defender who, in my opinion, did nothing but try to intimidate me into taking the prosecutor’s deal. I refused because I honestly did not know that I was a barred person and was willing to fight for my 2nd amendment right, even if that meant I might become a convicted felon. It seemed like the DA’s office and the public defender both just wanted me to go away. I was getting irritated with the way the whole situation was developing.
Finally, I was fed up. I started asking around for any effective attorneys who truly believed in our constitutional rights and that wouldn’t try to extend the case in order to increase their bill. A veteran neighbor suggested Attorney Gary Barthel at the Military Law Center. Mr. Barthel is a veteran himself and so I felt he could understand the nuance of this case. What he discovered blew my mind.
After retaining Mr. Barthel, he immediately started to examine the evidence and determined the 5150 determination, that I was threat to myself or others, was not properly assessed in accordance with California law. Additionally, Mr. Barthel also determined I was denied a required hearing to appeal California’s 5-year ban to purchase a weapon. Based upon the results of his investigation, Mr. Barthel was able to convince the District Attorney’s office to dismiss the charges.
It took Mr. Barthel only a few months to get all charges dropped. Attorneys are expensive so it is important to find one that is efficient. Mr. Barthel was able to win the case and since it was done so quickly, my total bill was very reasonable. I was also refunded the unused portion of the retainer. I don’t plan on ever needing a criminal defense attorney again, but if I do, I’m calling Gary Barthel. He is very competent, and I would highly recommend his services.

I was very fortunate to have met Reuben in early 2000 and he represented me in Hilliard vs Ameriquest Mortgage, a class action case for failure to pay overtime. Not only is Reuben a great friend but he’s just really brilliant and a pleasure to know. No regrets at all. Thank you Reuben Nathan. God bless you.

Reuben is extremely brilliant attorney. He won dozens of class action cases for unpaid OT, commission, and illegal employment contacts. He is very knowledgeable, so he can tell you rather or not there is a case within five miniutes. He also didn’t need to charge a retainer fee because he is confident in winning the case for his clients. Unlike other attorneys, he takes time and explains to you as why there is a case. He was referred to me by several of my friends and ex-colleagues. I am extremely happy with the outcome of the case. Thus, I am willing to work with him again for “another” case. If I knew Reuben back in 2014, I would have asked him to represent me against one of the largest multi billion dollar mortgage company and also the publically traded company under NASDAQ I used to work for many years. Reuben is the most ethical, caring, and honest attorney. He is not just an attorney, but he treats his clients as if he is your friend.

The law firm represented me in IRS hearings, and throughout the entire process. Working with them could not have been easier. I have never had much luck, dealing with complicated tax issues, and with this firm, I felt peace of mind and much less stress, knowing that I was in good hands.

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.

Ted Huang is an excellent immigration lawyer. He is very knowledgeable and friendly, and he responds quickly to questions over e-mail. It would have been very difficult to do all the paperwork to obtain a social security number and green card without him. With Ted's help, the process went very smoothly and quickly.

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.
