Caitlin was very helpful assisting my wife and I in creating a trust. We were given a checklist of items to bring to the meeting and Caitlin did the rest. We then went over a simple draft which had minor corrections and the trust was created the same day. So glad I can sleep soundly at night knowing my wishes will be met when I pass. Highly recommended.

Caitlin went out of her way to prepare our Trust in the manner we were hoping for. Most attorneys throw your information into a standard, cookie cutter format and leave it at that, but she took the time to prepare the documents perfectly. I’ve worked with attorneys for 25 years, and I think she’s one of the most dedicated, hard-working, amiable attorneys I’ve ever met! Her services are affordable and well worth it for the trust she’s earned with us. The finished product exceeded our expectations! So grateful to have found her!

Francine was an absolute professional when working with her to have our retirement planning process trademarked. Over a period of months we communicated via email, telephone conference, and webinars to layout our plan to achieve our goal. Francine was able to guide us through the labyrinth of legal potholes and landmines which allowed us to not only get our process trademarked, but to obtain a registered trademark! There is no doubt that without her help we would not have been able to achieve the highest standard. Thanks again Francine!

Francine went above and beyond in responding to our urgent need for intervention in a business crisis with a rogue associate. Because this turned out to be a specialty case with unique requirements, she spoke personally the very next day with a top colleague, who in turn cleared her schedule to meet with us ASAP. It would have taken days and probably weeks to get to see this second lawyer. We are forever in Francine's debt for the help she gave us.

She answered my Avvo query with respect and knowledge generously shared. She picked up on fact that it wasn't just about a $2600 fee paid - the acct blew a sol and an 80 year old lost $30K. Other attys answered as if "not worth any atty's time" bc money is so small. That seems like an stand for our legal system. I wish NC & USA had more attys like this fine lady.

I retained Caroline Tucker to represent me in a personal injury matter. My infant son and I were in a terrible car accident back in May 2011 and the driver at fault was not insured. Caroline was very thorough and once she walked me through the entire process, I knew I was in very good hands. She did a fantastic job communicating with the insurance companies and in the end, was able to negotiate a timely and fair settlement for both of us. Thank you Caroline for taking such great care of me and my family's needs.

I was referred to Kimberly by a friend when a former client breached contract. I was in a very stressful situation and from the moment I called Kimberly I felt relief. She was my biggest advocate and really understood the emotional stress I was feeling and took the initiative to handle my case on my behalf. She was knowledgeable, to-the-point, and made me feel very at ease. I couldn’t have found a better attorney to represent me and I’m proud to know her. We all hope to never need a lawyer but if you do, choose her. You will not regret it.

I have had the pleasure of working with Kimberly for the better part of the year, and she has been indispensable and a crucial to the success of my business. I have spent 15+ years in the corporate world, getting below average service from many different attorneys. Before meeting Kimberly I questioned the competence of the profession. Now, I know the trick is having the right attorney working with you. She vigorously defended my firm in a frivolous lawsuit and was able to think 3 steps ahead of the plaintiff. This is what makes her unique and special. She plays the long game and doesn’t just push paper for papers sake. She also helped my business partners and I on multiple corporate transactions, company formations, and tax assessment analysis with her partner Jessica. Her thoughtfulness, skill, and expertise of both the law and having her clients back for the long term, makes her the attorney “ne plus ultra”

I was looking everywhere for a lawyer to handle my case to evict a tenant. Luckily, I found Sep! I drove 2 hours to meet him to consult my case, and it was well worth my time. We won the eviction and was able to get my property back all in one piece. That’s not all, he went above and beyond to help me claim money back from the insurance to cover the costs and repairs. I’m happy that I’ve found a lawyer that truly has my back. Definitely would recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney!

I was just looking at my peer reviews on Avvo and thought I have to do one for Sep. I'm an attorney and Sep is actually my attorney. He first contacted me to be an expert witness on a foreclosure matter and after many conversations with him I hired him to represent me on a case. So far, he's represented me on two matters, and while litigation is not pleasant for the participants (not sure if it's worse or better when you yourself are an attorney) it was always a relief knowing Sep was my attorney. When people hire me and leave my office saying they feel a weight lifted from their shoulders that is the highest compliment. That is what I can say about Sep; that is exactly how I feel when I retain him. When he is handling your matter, your mind can be at peace as long as you do what he asks and trust him.

Paul was referred to me by a friend. I contacted Paul, he was on vacation but still handled my case that I consider over and above the call of duty. We communicated telephonically, by email and by fax and my lawsuit was submitted on time.. I left the country for a month and Paul continued to act on my behalf with the Court.

I gave Julia a 5 star review in 2012 after she stepped in and corrected the many errors in my parents’ estate plan that resulted from one of the “free lunch” seminars that are held in the desert. She has continued to provide 5 star service every step of the way...from my mother’s death, property sales, a remarriage, and finally wrapping up my parents’ estate after my father’s death. Julia’s extensive expertise in the law, taxes and real estate means you don’t need to involve multiple professionals—she can deal with just about any issue that comes up in a professional and timely manner. My only regret is I no longer live in California, so I must find a new attorney. They will have big shoes to fill!

Julia assisted my sister and I with our fathers probate down in California. We had previously been working with another attorney that literally did nothing for us. He dragged his feet and never even so much as present simple paperwork to the courts after 6 months of employing him as our representation. We promptly parted ways with that attorney and were directed to Julia. I can tell you that the work she did for us was a breath of fresh air. She was extremely prompt in all of her responses and thorough in her communication. She went to bat for us in court to try to get things sped along as the previous attorney had left us in a tight bind and delayed the probate closing by 6 months. I'am not an attorney but I do have a great background in client services and I can speak for my sister and myself by saying that Julia was a delight to work with and left both of us with a sense of ease knowing that she was getting everything done for us. I would recommend Julia to anyone. Thank you so much for your help!

Some months now after finalizing my divorce I truly realize the expert care I was in with Ms. Baltazar. After interviewing a number of lawyers at the onset, I selected Ms. Baltazar for her professionalism, depth of legal knowledge, and caring manner. I felt then that she had the combination of attributes that would get me through this difficult time. Throughout she was persistent in representing my interest, clearly explaining current and prospective actions needed to arrive at the best outcome for me. She was always careful to fully explain what the law said on key matters and how it was interpreted by the courts. Ms. Baltazar had the ability to take jumbled information, as I'm sure I sometimes babbled on, picking out the salient points and repeating key information back to ensure she had a firm grasp of my responses. She also had the ability and patience to simplify and present legalese in an easy to understand manner so that i could fully consider it. Since mine was a marriage of long duration, she understood how fearful I was of the financial aspects of the divorce, painstakingly explaining each option for settlement. She effectively dealt with opposing counsel, firmly pushing forward through unexpected delays. I always felt that she was firmly committed to working with me and for my best interest. I had the consummate professional and personable warrior on my side. She made a very tough situation bearable. I am so grateful. Thank you Armine!!!!!!!

I was involved in a spousal support issue/tax matter with my ex-wife. Ms. Baltazar not only provided excellent advise in the spousal support area, but actually found a case ruling in the tax matter which defended my position and which had been overlooked by my ex wife's attorneys. (And tax law is not even her primary area of practice.) This allowed us to arrange for an out of court settlement that was much to my advantage. Because of her gracious and professional manner she was very pleasant to work with.

She explained the process clearly, ensuring that I understood every step. She was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns.

Proud to say that I just became a US citizen last month thanks to Erika and her team!! 👏🏼👏🏼🥳 My experience having Erika Portillo and her team as my immigration attorney for the past 10 years has been phenomenal! From the very start of my case she has ALWAYS been upfront and honest with me about my case which made the whole process much less stressful for me. Erika will ALWAYS go above and beyond her expertise to help her clients as best as she can! I was able to petition my mother and she also just became a US Citizen two weeks ago! The only reason why I took the 10 years to apply for our citizenship was because I personally decided to wait until my Green card almost expired to apply for our Citizenship. I know I should have applied sooner but with three young children, my studies, and work, I got so busy in my “mom life” that I didn’t realize how fast time had gone by. The good thing is that as soon as Erika filed both my mother’s and my N-400 application in December, by February we had already received our appointment letter in the mail for our citizenship exam! After passing the exam, we received our Oath ceremony appointment for citizenship in the SF location just three months after! We are so happy and relieved that we no longer have to worry about our immigration status and most importantly that the process was smooth because we didn’t have to stress about receiving bad service or looking around for new attorneys because Erika took good care of us every step of the way. 🙏🏼 I mean this from the bottom of my heart because I’ve heard so many unfortunate situations of how difficult it is for our people to find a good lawyer who doesn’t charge them every time they show up to their office, or charge them tons of dollars upfront to take the case and then they take forever to respond or get a hold of. This is not the case with Erika Portillo! With that said, I will say that it’s 100% worth your time and money to schedule a consultation with Erika to see if you have a good case. She will not lie to you nor waste your time and money like some attorney tend to. I actually just referred her services to a friend of mine who was asking for an immigration attorney for her brother in law. So I’m confident that if her family takes my referral, they will be in good hands. *FYI: Both Erika and her front desk receptionists are all Spanish and English speaking so communicating with them and getting answers about your case is very easy as well. They were always ready to assist us with a nice smile on their faces. What I love the most about having Erika as an immigration attorney is that she continues to educate herself. She stays on top of all the new laws and that’s what allows her to provide such clear and accurate services. I couldn’t imagine her being able to branch off and now having her own team if she wasn’t this great! That speaks volumes! A big congratulations to her again for that because she’s a very hard working woman who deserves such success, respect, and your trust!

I had a case where I was electrocuted and for 10months VZ worked on my case of course looking to take care of me appropriately based on the nature of the case. Once they found out I was on probation for a crime I had not committed but got railroaded, they first said we can’t represent you because of the nature of your case. I was like, WHAT? We have a working case and now 10months later the partners decide they don’t want to represent me anymore because of my probation???? What the heck does that even have to do with me getting what’s owed to me because I was electrocuted? They gave me some pocket change and took there money like I was an old appliance. Now I could have said no I’ll try and find another law firm but law firms don’t like to take cases that other law firms backed up on. I don’t recommend this law firm to anyone.

I was referred to Michael by a family friend to assist with a sticky business contract negotiation, and I could not have asked for a better attorney for the job. His attention to detail, thoroughness, and focus in dealing with communications, contracts, and investigation of any and all related legislation / legal precedents is incredible. Beyond legal knowledge and experience, he is exactly the sort of person you want to help navigate legal procedures. Michael is professional, direct, and verbose. He is honest, straightforward, and does an excellent job of cutting through excess legal-ese to reach the crucial points. Finally, he knows when to inject a dose of humor and levity -- which can make all the difference when you're slogging through an arduous situation. I will not hesitate to call on Michael the next time I need support, and will recommend him to anyone I can!

We were referred to Michael through a friend who had worked with him on real estate matters. We are a startup and needed help with trademarking our name and logo. Michael was incredibly kind and walked us through the process and got us thinking about where we want to see our company down the line to be able to properly trademark our mark from the start. He made it a joy rather than a chore and we are so grateful. We have our trademark in hand and could not be happier! I have referred Michael to family and friends and they have all shared a very similar experience. He's so sharp, he's efficient and the most honest attorney you will ever meet.

Working with James Burns on our estate planning has been painless and effortless on our part. He answered all of our questions in terms that were easy to understand and comprehend. Our initial visit wasn't rushed and we didn't feel like we were just another potential client. We truly felt James took a personal interest to make sure we understood how he would be helping us protect our assets for ourselves and for our family. His responses after the initial meeting was timely and professional and it continued through the whole process. We feel fortunate to be working with him and highly recommend his services.

James - you did a fantastic job putting our concerns on Probate to rest by helping us put the Living Trust in place. I am relieved that my family is taken care of should anything happen to me. I greatly appreciate you walking me through the end-to-end process. You were very patient answering our questions and found a great solution for us in putting the trust, will, and power of attorney in place. I did not realize the risk I had exposed my family to without having a will, trust and power of attorney and advanced directive in place. I am glad I have taken care of all the details now.

David Robinson has built a wonderful firm that has represented my company over the past 12 years on many issues. More recently David himself had to step in on a particularly technical issue and he handled the situation masterfully. My partners and I couldn't be more pleased with the results.

David represented my firm and I as plaintiffs in a couple cases involving corporate governance, fraud and fiduciary duty claims, in my capacity as a Board member of a private company. These matters were in dispute and litigated in 2011 and 2012. David is very quick in identifying and understanding the critical elements of a case, determining strategy and tactics to achieve the desired results, and in my view has unique talents at crafting persuasive, well written and well supported legal arguments and briefs. David believes in his clients, and is the proverbial bulldog when developing and presenting his client's case. I would highly recommend David in any matter involving disputes in the areas of corporate governance, fiduciary duty etc.

Stephen is an outstanding attorney. He listened to my case and quickly realized the facts and the flaws. He has a high sense of ethics. Where others thought I had no case( I had released contingencies) Stephen helped to craft a winning strategy. He was very encouraging. My ernest money was returned, saving me much time, aggravation, and money.

I can emphatically recommend Stephen Armstrong as a responsive and effective counsel on all cases I have brought to him. He has been especially helpful in dealing with the complex real estate matters I have sought his help on. He has extraordinary computer and digital navigation skills which enable him to access information, write briefs and respond to questions much faster than the many others I have worked with in the past. Perhaps my favorite traits in Mr. Armstrong are his generally congenial and pragmatic personality. Unlike so many other attorneys who lull you into a state of dreary gloom and doom, Stephen remains upbeat and exudes an appropriate sense of humor that is so needed when the "going gets tough". In summary, he is not only an effective attorney, but also a truly good guy! I prefer to remain anonymous for legal reasons, but asure you I am not one of his relatives or college buddies, but rather a client that met him through a need for counsel. ~BH 3-24-2013

Mr. Ripley represented me and took the time and extra effort to understand my case and gather information. He met with me several times to ensure he had all the facts. He took the time to collaborate and follow through with everything he said he would do. When he received documents the afternoon before we were to appear in court he spent several hours reviewing this information. This went into the late evening. He was dedicated and committed to ensuring that all of my questions were answered and all of the information was accurate. He took the time to walk me through every step of the process and made himself available for questions. I am very grateful for his services and professionalism.

I contacted the office of Michael Ripley based on all the peer reviews I had read. Now I know firsthand, where the five stars come from. Above and beyond is the simple two words to convey the level of work this office, Nelia Castro, Jennifer Kiss and Becky, have done to settle my 2nd lien and modify my first with Wells Fargo, jumbo loan. I had initally hired the staff to help me modify my first but out of the blue the 2nd lien, returned after over 5 years of no contact. Their last information saying they had written off the loan. However, 2nd liens can come back and will, once you have some equity. I would strongly encourage anyone, not to wait, because the 2nd started foreclosure as soon as the equity was enough that they would get something out of us. Nelia can be direct when she needs to be but she, Jennifer and Becky are so compassionate. Like a light at the end of a very very long dark tunnel. Listen to them! This level of work takes a considerable amount of time and knowhow and the time and knowledge more than outweighs the compensation. They are a law firm and will need to be compensated as such so they can stay in business and have a life themselves. Going into this, you need to realize that it is ultimately the homeowners creation of their situation at some point along the way and be willing to accept this, fully. That will be the only way you will get through this. Look at the big picture and do not get caught up in the minutia of the cost, interest rate, submission of documents and trust this law firm will give you an honest view of the situation, whether you like it or not. We had to borrow, sell, rent a room to make this happen but we were comitted to keeping our home. The staff at Michael Ripley law stuck with us for a long time, all the long way through. I hope this office is able to stay in business. Homeowners desperately need their help and guidance because there is just no one else to turn to. If you are in our shoes, give a call. Get that consultation. Even if you jumped through the hoops, got all the docs in on time, had the right income, it is still up to the investor to make the final decision and there is no one that has control over that but them, not us, not the law office. If you are reading this, you probably sit where we did over a year ago. It was our 2nd mod, the first 4 years ago. It is a difficult process but with the help of this office it will give you insight to making the best decisions. Good luck!

Like a lighthouse when your coming in from rough seas a "Great" lawyer can you give you the confidence that you can make it safely to port. Rhona Kauffman is that kinda of lawyer. I hired here twice for two cases that were particularly troublesome for me. She returns calls in a timely fashion. Actually listen to my concerns and counseled me in a fashion that was not demeaning but clear and concise without sugar coating. Rhona has a very professional demeanor but at the same time you feel that you are getting the same advise that she would give her own brother. Monetarily I never felt like I was getting over charged and that I was receiving the best service. Thank you Rhona your clients appreciate you !

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
