Eric is one of the best attorneys in California as far as IP Law is concerned. Eric is very thorough in his job and makes sure not to miss out any details in filling a patent. He makes sure every single word used in filling is legally correct. I had the toughest patent to file in a competitive sector but Eric got us through and patent was finally issued. Eric was very patient and answered all my questions along the way. He's very knowledgeable about IP Law and knows his way around to successfully strategize a plan to get the patent approved. I would definitely use his services in future and highly recommend him to others.

I went to Eric for IP consultation and was more than satisfied with all the information he provided! He is extremely knowledgeable about this area of law and has the experience to prove it. Although I'm an attorney myself, he fully demonstrated his vast expertise on intellectual property. I needed information on patents and he went above and beyond to give me insight about the industry and other IP issues to be conscious about. He is very helpful and genuinely gives you the best advice tailored to your interests. I highly recommend him to anyone needing services for intellectual property.

The funny thing is that I found Joe through Avvo, so it's only fitting that I come full circle to write Joe a review here. I was hesitant when I first contacted Joe, but he made a very good impression on me from the very beginning. My initial thoughts were that he was very responsive and timely to my inquiries. He happened to be on vacation when I first contacted him, but he was very professional and still made time for a brief consultation. As I continued to work with Joe, I found him to be very friendly, straightforward and trustworthy. Integrity and timeliness are very important qualities for me when I work with any professional and you'll be surprised how many professionals don't have these qualities. Lastly, Joe does his homework. He gave me good sound advice and everything worked out as he predicted. I would recommend my family and friends to him which means you should too.

I've worked with Avi Muhtar for a few months now. As someone who has talked to a large amount of personal injury attorneys and has gone through a number of firms - I can say with confidence that Avi is in league of his own. Truly a Class Act. And anyone who knows me knows it's extremely rare that l'd say this about anyone. I am truly impressed by how quickly he responds to emails, texts and calls. He is extremely professional and it's truly refreshing to see - especially in the personal injury field. It's really hard to find good personal injury attorneys - let alone great ones. I was literally going from one attorney to another. I couldn't find one who actually cared about me and my health. It seemed these attorneys cared more about self-interests than anything else. I also wanted an ethical and honest attorney. Avi is honest, transparent and trustworthy. I'm not only impressed by Avi's incredible knowledge and the amount of research he does when necessary - I'm also impressed by both his mental and emotional intelligence. Empathy in particular is pertinent when you're working with a Pl attorney and I kept coming across one attorney after another that simply lacked EQ. Avi cares about my needs as both a client as well as someone who's had significant injuries. He is kind, patient, understanding, caring and compassionate. He's on top of things all the time - which is truly rare with Pl attorneys. It's the first time in over 2 years that I finally have relaxed knowing I have a competent personal injury attorney who is a true ally. He's highly intelligent as well as incredibly intuitive. Intuition is extremely important to me as a client, because I believe an attorney who is intuitive cannot only tell when you're telling the truth - but he can also tell when the opposing party or anyone else is not being truthful. I truly believe Avi is simply one of the very few competent personal injury attorneys who values ethics, integrity, empathy, compassion and a heathy professional relationship with his clients. I also believe he's one of the few smart ones who thankfully doesn't have a chip on his shoulder. I'm grateful to God that I found him. He's truly a blessing.

Michael Eyre did an outstanding job of representing me this summer in an ADA case regarding my family’s property in Southern California. His extensive experience in these types of cases made things run smoothly and gave me a lot of peace of mind. Our case never went to trial because of Michael’s experience dealing with these types of cases with the addition of having battled this same attorney representing the plaintiff. That other attorney knew that it was going to be very difficult winning a case against Michael Eyre. It was also a pleasure working with Michael. He was easily accessible, provide excellent clear advice, and keep me posted along the way with all new developments. I am strongly recommending Michael Eyre for anyone looking for a professional, easy-to-work with, easily accessible and case-winning attorney.

Here is our story: We were in one hot-real-estate-mess, with the other party of two (2) attorneys trying to hood-wink us for a lot. Two against one, from a big Irvine firm. My husband must have called at least ten (10) attorneys, and when he called Michael … we knew – Michael was the one! He is cautious, he is honest, and he knows the law. And Michael Eyre does his homework. Always available for us, explaining things, and advising us. Michael knows exactly what he is doing. Siting case law in every circumstance. Negotiating when negotiating is necessary, whatever skillset is required to be successful. Michael Eyre was the best thing that happen to us during this trying time. At the end of our case, not only are we grateful to be his clients, we would refer Michael Eyre, Esq. (our Mr. Lincoln) anytime.

My husband and I are small business owners in Oregon and were searching for an M&A Attorney to assist us with our business sale to a company in San Diego. We reached out to Matt based on his Avvo reviews and were so happy we did. Matt dispells every stereotype about an attorney. He was professional, competent, responsive (even working the weekend and after hours to help us close our deal), pleasant to deal with and we felt like he always had our back. His rates are reasonable as well. Without him we would not have closed on time and we feel like our purchase agreement was well negotiated. We HIGHLY recommend him!!

As a small business owner, I've put off needing an attorney for as long as possible. I was referred to Matt by another business owner and I couldn't be happier with the work he did for me. He made filing an LLC incredibly easy and even helped me figure out the best structure for my business based on my current and future needs. He also drew up a contractor agreement that addressed additional issues I hadn't even considered and added a significant amount of protection for me and my business. I even referred Matt to friend of a friend and he was able to protect her business and keep her from entering into a bad contract with potential partners. He's always responded to my questions in a timely manner, has been transparent with the work he's done and is easy to work with. I believe he has my best interest at heart and will definitely continue to use him for all future business needs.

Outstanding law firm We had a great experience with the Moran Law Group. They are experts in their field and provided us with great education, support, and all the tools required to settle our case. They told us what we needed to do and when we needed to do it. They literally took care of everything from top to bottom in the 5 years we had to go through this. We had a lot of questions throughout the process and they always answered us in a timely manner. It's very challenging to have to go through something like a bankruptcy.

Once I got past the consulting fee and met with Cathy Moran, I felt confident - and honestly hopeful - that she would take care of my case, having a favorable result. She set expectations about my case at our first meeting, in the end she and her team over delivered. I am very pleased with the result and my Chapter 13 payment schedule. Cathy is a straight-shooter - she can be personable - and if she senses time is being wasted, you will know it. If you retain her services, she and her team will let you know what documents and information is needed from you. Don't miss these deadlines. Most of the time that I spent was near the beginning, where the initial work consumed a few hours of time. Make it a top priority and don't procrastinate. After all, it is your financial future. As for communication, Cathy's office is good in keeping you in the loop on the next milestone in your timeline. If you have questions, be concise, specific and send via email; you will receive a quality response that is also concise. Cathy's team of another lawyer and paralegals have talents in different areas, each taking care of a different aspect in my case. I am very grateful to all of them, they allowed me to live within my income and have a life with my family. After receiving the judge's confirmation of my plan, I feel like I have been given another chance, and I know where I'm at financially. I later found out that Cathy is well known and respected among other bankruptcy attorneys in the Bay Area. She is also known to have set precedence in court, fighting for the rights of bankruptcy filers like me. She is very experienced in bankruptcy law. Although I was not surprised to learn these details after knowing Cathy, I was reminded that I was very fortunate to have crossed paths with her and to have retained her services. Blessings.

It is difficult to face that you need to go into bankruptcy. I retained Attorney Cathy Moran. She was very professional and non-judgemental about my situation -- I was already beating up myself. She is very professional and I felt very confident in her knowledge of bankruptcy law and submission requirements. She was very responsive anytime I had a question. I really appreciated that she would respond quickly to my questions. In addition, her office staff was equally responsive regarding general questions or responding to my occasional requests for copies of documents. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a bankruptcy attorney.

Steve Gerrish was exactly the guy I needed when I negotiated my employment contract at the sale of my company. He had a framework of reasonable and customary terms, but he was completely open to my idiosyncratic preferences. I may have imagined it, but I felt that he absolutely understood what I wanted to accomplish, and (conversely) what I did not care about at all. He was clear and responsive when I was drafting and negotiating the contract, and he was ready and alert when the provisions were unexpectedly triggered.

From the first consultation up through the end of the case I could not have wished for better representation. Mr. Baruch is sharp, a creative thinker, and knows the law inside and out. He is a fighter, and was an excellent advocate for me. He was also compassionate and attuned to my specific needs and issues. He is a straight shooter.

She was caring, smart, dedicated, and honest. She was also very articulate and driven to get a divorce agreement that would suit my children and me. At the time of my separation, I was a stay at home mom and had stopped working for seven years. Dana encouraged me to go back to school and get a master's degree, which I am grateful for. Dana is very approachable and easy to talk with, yet she is fierce in the court room. She was actually the second lawyer that I hired to work on my case, after the first lawyer cost me a lot of money and did not help much.

There is a reason HLF specializes in Employment Law. While avoiding specifics I will say this Team of legal professionals set the standard very high. From the moment I used their website to submit my inquiry to present day I never felt anything but educated, cared about, and professionally guided through the scary waters of my specific case. I sought justice and Alex (and his wonderful Team) helped me get it. I feel like I had a voice now and that I have been properly compensated. Towards the end and several times during this experience I was flustered and bewildered. I was worried they would think I was stupid or annoying for asking so many questions, especially after what I had been though.... My self esteem was not very good at that time.

Paul was able to help guide us through a recent real-estate transaction dispute. I would highly recommend him and I would hire him again. He was super knowledgeable and friendly. He was there for us at every step of the process and helped explain all of the issues with the case. No question was ever too small or big, and he really cared about helping us resolve the case. Throughout the case, he helped us create reasonable expectations, and really fought to get us the best possible outcome. In the end, Paul was everything we wanted in a attorney, and he exceeded our expectations.

Choose Paul to handle this emotionally-draining, life-changing decision with the utmost respect and dignity! He is honest, thoughtful, and sensitive to your needs. His door is always open and be responds to emails promptly. He explains everything as you go thru the process, so there is nothing you won't understand the first time. I should have hired him the first time! (I chose a different one, in another state, that I had to fire for inadequacy and disrespect.)

Hanlen was great. He provided consultation on my mother's estate planning and current financial situation. We also asked if he could help us with another situation, which we had not scheduled. He went out of his way to help us with this, providing detailed information, and ways that we could save money during the process. He listened and answered any questions we had, was patient, and friendly. When I called him after leaving his office for an additional question, he answered almost immediately and provided the answer. I highly recommend Hanlen J. Chang.

Hanlen Chang is very knowledgeable and was able to help me understand the laws and context relevant to my concerns and suspicions of financial elder abuse of a family member. I did not realize that local county laws and protocols in California can differ with regard to elder law issues. Hanlen guided me in being an advocate for my family, suggesting appropriate language for letters and focusing on the relevant information, while showing me why some points I was making were not really relevant. He confirmed that I have standing to ask for an accounting of the estate. Working with Hanlen gave me confidence to intercede on behalf of my loved one with an expectation of success. Hanlen was also very responsive when the issue became urgent. He got back to me the same day to schedule a phone consult the following morning. I will continue to rely on Hanlen in this matter and recommend him without reservation to anyone who needs estate planning or elder law advice or assistance.

Hanlen helped my husband and I set up a living trust and he was so easy to work with. Very professional, very knowledgeable and responds in a very timely manner. He even provided a handy list of what sort of assets would need to be transferred to the trust and how to go about it. Hanlen also helped provide guidance on some more complicated issues with our extended family related to estate and financial planning. He has a pretty good awareness of tax planning as well so he can help bring attention to potential situations that may arise down the road based on decisions that are made today. Super helpful to get a holistic view of how to approach situations that we were in and be able to make better informed decisions. He occasionally meets with clients in Palo Alto which has been really great for us since we're based in the South Bay. We have been very happy with the services that Hanlen has provided so far and we will continue to reach out to him whenever future needs arise.

Eric has represented us in many different legal matters, some small and some very large and complicated. The effort Eric, his partner Bob and associates dedicate to each and every case is beyond compare. We have had several attorneys over the years and we have never felt more secure and safe in legal matters since we hired Eric to represent us. His track record with us has been 100%. Eric has a very calming and pleasing personality, we are so comfortable with him we just drive by his office to say hello and catch up. His personality is one that coveys trust and confidence, yet he makes you feel as if you are his only client. It is just a wonderful feeling. We couldn’t be happier. I don’t normally do this type of thing but this person deserves my time. Just a little background I have owned and managed over 12 million dollars in property over the years had several lawyers, all good, but this one is a keeper. If you are looking for the best possible representation on legal issues this is your man and firm.

I could not ask for more from any lawyer. No one wants to need the services of an attorney, but if you do, I would call Frank Perretta in a heartbeat. I feel like I found a great attorney, and a new friend. Terry

Frank was a pleasure to work with. I had some questions regarding resolving a clawback provision in my employment contract and he was able to meet with me on short notice and answer my questions clearly and quickly. When a complication arose several days later, he again met with me to help me understand my options and obligations. Direct, efficient and to-the-point, I felt that he valued my time and was very knowledgeable about the issues raised.

Probably one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with. He really is a godsend. Originally, I had an older lawyer, and he was not doing a good job at all. Three years in court with no results. I fired him and Hired Richard. In less than a year Richard got the 4 unit apartment building transferred into my name that my mother had left me in her will. He really took it to the opposing council at trial. We are waiting for the Judge's decision now. I feel optimistic about the outcome. So glad he was recommended to me. He is worth every penny

I was referred to Richard by my mother’s previous attorney. When I called him, I needed a legal guardian for my elderly mother to make sure another family member was not pressuring her to do anything against her will. She needed objective legal advice and Richard provided her with that. We came to Richard in a time of emotional upheaval within our family. He explained everything to my mother in calm manner and took care of all the tedious work we just couldn’t handle. He made sure that my mother’s best interest was the focus of every document that came our way. These situations can surely be a nightmare—having your family squabble over their own agenda can be devastating. It is important to have someone like Richard to ease your anxiety. He is a very seasoned, experienced attorney with a calming personality and an ability to disarm even the most difficult of characters. Thank you Richard!!

Richard was able to work with my brother and I during a conservatorship proceeding regarding my mother. We were at conflict with her second husband. Richard was able to deal with my brother and I as we got emotional during the negotiations before we went to court. He helped us come to an agreement that was agreed to by both parties before the courts were involved. Richard also really seemed to be cognizant of the cost and in my opinion tried to keep it as low as he could for us. This was appreciated.

The very first time I spoke to Eric about my case was the very first time I felt optimistic about our wrongful death case and that my family and I were in good hands. Not only is Eric a remarkable attorney but he has a conscience and will fight for what is right. I can go on and on about how much a great attorney he is and his compassionate moral character, but there is simply not enough time in the day.

There are reasons that high profile attorneys get to where they are. Eric Dubin returned my email in less than 24 hours. After a short (free consultation), he was immediately honest in saying it wasn't his area of expertise. But he supported me, and even sent words of encouragement, such as "hang in there." PI attorneys get a bad rap from time to time, but there are people like Eric who could (given his well documented trial skills) win probably any case. But he didn't try to be everything to everybody. He was kind, honest, and most of all replied. In fact of all of the attorneys I consulted the one thing that sets these premier attorneys apart is that they actually do call you back. After finding out that a black mold case is not his strongest suit, he never the less was kind, encouraging, and took time to respond to me. By contrast one other supposedly preeminent black mold attorneys who was referred by another attorney (who even made a call on my behalf to get the specific name of the attorney to call, never returned a phone call, nor an email, nor did I ever get an email after filling out one of those utterly annoying "chat now" messages. I've followed Eric's career, and he doesn't talk the talk. He's brilliant, he cares about people, and he is responsive. I hope that I never need an attorney in the areas where he truly excels, but I would go back to him in a moment, and I'd refer him to anyone injured, or unjustly treated.

We hired Eric Dubin to represent us for the wrongful death of our disabled son. Eric treated us with the utmost respect and compassion. Even though he remained sensitive towards us, Eric was a fearless warrior, willing to fight until justice was served. We found Eric to be professional, diligent, bluntly honest, and a creative out-of-the box thinker who was willing to work day and night when needed. We would strongly recommend Eric to anyone who is looking for an attorney who is willing to go the extra mile and has the knowledge to do so. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts! M and M

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.
