Ron Rossi is one of the best real estate and trial attorneys in the business. His experience, knowledge and character are hard to match. He’s an excellent spokesman with a strong presence and is well prepared and organized in the courtroom. He had several top level legal resources at his disposal, which he knew when and how to use to strengthen my case. We worked together for 3 years on my prescribed easement case, which concluded after a 2 week jury trial. Ron made brilliant opening and closing statements, which I felt were instrumental in winning the case. I highly recommend Ron Rossi.

Ron Rossi and his staff work as a professional, compassionate and patient “team” which clearly attributes to the success of the firm.
From the beginning to the end of my case I received high-quality legal representation.
Ron’s expertise and experience in Real Estate Law is impressive and the personal touch was an added bonus. I was referred to Ron by a respected attorney out of the area. I was grateful I was directed to Ron and feel our case was in the best hands possible
Going through the legal process is lengthy, complicated, expensive and often emotional so it put my mind at ease that Ron and his staff looked for a strong legal foundation before going forward with the case. Although we were unsuccessful in achieving the result we wanted, they stuck by my side the whole way through and helped soften the blow when unexpected evidence was produced which turned the case upside down.
Ron cares about his clients, and works hard to achieve the best result.
If you want high-quality Real Estate legal representation I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Rossi, Hamerslough, Reischl & Chuck!

During the course of a complicated $2M+ development project in the Town of Los Gatos, I retained the services of attorney Rick Gullen from the law offices of Rossi, Hamerslough, Reischl & Chuck in response to neighboring property owner’s lawsuits objecting to the project, as well as a breach of contract. Additionally, despite the project being permitted, there was increasing obstruction by City administration in response to these lawsuits that required Rick and his firm to intervene. The scope and breadth of the litigation required the involvement of California Fish and Wildlife, US Army Corp of Engineers, California Water Board, Air Quality Management District, County of Santa Clara, Town of Los Gatos Town Attorney, as well as surveyors, engineers, arborists, and hydrologists.
In addition to his years of personal, in-depth real estate law knowledge and litigation experience, and a large firm behind him specializing in complicated real estate matters, Rick brought to the table personal connections with experts ranging from former city Planners, structural and geotechnical engineers, aerial photography firms, surveyors, specialized insurance attorneys, property title experts, traffic engineers, etc.
The litigations spanned issues including easements, access right of ways, public vs private roadway right of ways, lot line disputes stemming from titles and maps from the 1800’s, and he also successfully won an arbitration award for liquidated damages, arguing against a complex claim of unmarketable title due to appurtenant easements and junior vs senior deeds of trust.
During the course of the litigation and negotiations with the City, Rick’s counsel and direction was always with our best interests in mind. As contentious as it became, Rick’s demeanor with all involved parties, allowed for the possibiltty of an amicable compromise where appropriate. Conversely, he successfully and forcefully argued points where there would be no compromise.
Our project could not have been successful without the help and guidance of Rick Gullen and the offices of Rossi, Hamerslough, Reischl & Chuck

My family and I highly recommend Rick Gullen for real estate disputes. He not only provided excellent legal representation on all fronts (strategy, negotiations, court, etc.) for a real estate dispute, but also helped us through an emotionally difficult time and became our friend in the process. Rick has earned my family's trust and will be our attorney for real estate matters for many years to come.

On a quiet Sunday afternoon about six months ago, I was served with a civil complaint contesting the ownership of one of my residential rental properties in San Jose. I was concurrently noticed of an “ex parte” hearing scheduled for 8:30 am the following Tuesday morning at which time the allegedly aggrieved Plaintiff would seek a court order to immediately place my property into receivership and begin collecting all of the rents etc. I literally had only hours to formally rebuke this craven, contumelious assault and to affirm my ownership position in this property!
I contacted RHRC early Monday morning and found the firm’s initial response professional and sympathetic to the absolute urgency of my plight. Rick Gullen quickly agreed to re-arrange his calendar and meet with me that afternoon to review the complaint and formulate an appropriate response. By the start of our meeting, there were less than eighteen hours before the “ex parte” hearing scheduled for the next morning! Rick, his assistant, and I worked diligently for the remainder of that afternoon and evening to prepare our formal response. We were ultimately successful in this endeavor and the Judge denied all elements of the receivership motion. In the ensuing weeks and months, the complaint response and a counter suit were filed and the discovery process was initiated. Recently, this case was resolved through mediation with an executed settlement agreement very much to my benefit.
As a successful entrepreneur and retired tech executive, I have had considerable experience dealing with dozens of attorneys during the past several decades. I have retained or otherwise engaged attorneys on three continents who specialized in litigation, corporate law, contract law, employment law, family law, patent law, intellectual property law, and international law. All of these attorneys were competent in their respective fields – some were even exceptional. Never however, had I prevailed upon any of my counsel to respond to an issue with such immediacy as I did with Rick. He willingly rose to the challenge as my advocate and successfully countered the opposition at every turn.
For the duration of this case, Rick consistently demonstrated his broad knowledge of the law and his experience in resolving real estate ownership conflicts. His recommendations regarding the strategies and tactics most likely to successfully engage the opposition were very insightful. Rick’s sage advice on the legal options available not only to me as the Defendant, but equally important, the various options likely to be pursued by the Plaintiff, were particularly significant in my management of this case. His pensive, amicable demeanor combined with his tenacity and dedication to defending his client and prevailing in the case, were indeed exemplary.
Should the need ever arise in the future, I would not hesitate to call on Rick for assistance. I am certain however, that he would very much appreciate having more than eighteen hours notice to prepare a formal response and appear in Court on my behalf! I can unequivocally recommend Rick Gullen as an advocate who always represents his clients’ best interests and as a consummate professional in the practice of real estate law.

Recently, I hired Counselor At Law Mr. Noel Lawrence to assist me in settling a matter with a company that takes advantage of senior citizens.
Because the seniors are not expected to live a long life, the company overcharges the seniors. The company is counted on the seniors to "kick off" soon, thus the company can keep the property and funds of the seniors. This is not true.
Mr. Lawrence knows his way around a courtroom. He went after the company with an intense professionalism. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Lawrence as a Counselor at Law. I found him to be extremely helpful with my situation.

I initially missed the attorney, Richard Hall's call. But he left me a message and also called me back the next morning. I cant say enough about how invaluable this phone call was regarding my situation with a second mortgage problem i am having. Richard Hall was extremely knowledgeable and gave me multiple options and a game plan to follow. I found this service from googling my problem and this turned out to be a great find. The attorney seemed care about my situation too. I was on the fence on what action i should take with a creditor regarding my second mortgage and now I feel confident in what I need to do. I would recommend this service and i will use it again if i need it.

I hired Brad after interviewing several lawyers and firms. My case was a motorcycle accident where someone pulled in front of me and I hit them broadsided; broke my pelvic bone and spent 7 months in convalescence centers. Brad was all of the things noted above and became a friend. Not only do I admire his professionalism but he is clearly a family man who cares deeply. I think the best quality was responsiveness ... getting a return email or phone call within a few minutes! Thanks, Brad for all you did for me and Cecelia. We appreciate your help and kindness. Joe

I sought guidance on how to proceed on my own behalf. Ms. Reynolds understood how much time would be needed to advise me and sent a list of documents I needed to provide in advance of our 1.5 hour consultation. She was on-time, thoroughly prepared and knowledgeable on every aspect of the situation. She asked clear, precise questions to be sure I communicated everything necessary for her to formulate her advice, which was specific and explained in detail. I am now awaiting responses to the communications I sent out to see how the situation resolves. I am hopeful of the outcome.

My husband and I are beyond grateful to Tim Rozelle and the entire team at Kantor & Kantor for their exceptional support and unwavering dedication over the past three years. We were entangled in a prolonged battle with our insurance company, Moda, over the denial of coverage for my husband’s proton therapy cancer treatment. Thanks to Tim's expertise and persistence, we have finally reached a settlement and can now move forward with peace of mind.
Tim Rozelle is not just an outstanding attorney; he is a compassionate and understanding advocate for his clients. Throughout our grueling three-year process, Tim was a constant source of reassurance and strength. His ability to empathize with our situation and communicate complex legal matters in an accessible and friendly manner made a world of difference. It’s rare to find someone in the legal profession who is both highly skilled and genuinely caring, but Tim embodies both qualities effortlessly.
We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had Tim and the Kantor & Kantor firm in our corner. Their relentless pursuit of justice and client-centered approach have profoundly impacted our lives. If you need a legal team that combines expertise, empathy, and effectiveness, look no further than Tim Rozelle and Kantor & Kantor. They have our highest recommendation.
Thank you, Tim, for everything you’ve done for us. We couldn't have asked for a better advocate and partner in this journey.

This was a rough case which everyone said that it was impossible to sue an Insurance Company and win.
Kantor & Kantor made the impossible possible.
They were confident from the start that they were going to do their best to accomplish.
And they Concurred it with Hard word and the motivation to make it all happen.
I was told to sit back not to worry and let them do all the work which was a Big Relief due to the circumstances of the Lawsuit.
The Insurance company did everything they could to make things hard for all but Kantor & Kantor does not take no for an answer and continued on and showed them who was running the show.
Unfortunately my Love of my Life had passed during the case and Kantor & Kantor made it easy for me to convince the judge to let me continue the case in my name. I wasn't going to give up easy and either was Kantor & Kantor and again they were successful. They made me feel like I wasn't just another Client but part of a family which made me feel at ease due to the loss of my beautiful wife.
I am forever grateful to them and their team for pulling off what everyone Said was impossible.
Nothing in this world is impossible when you have the right people backing you up and Kantor & Kantor in my opinion is the best there is at what they do.
Thank you

Our family trust was created several years ago, and we knew that several changes were needed. We are so fortunate to have found Mr. Boss to do this work for us. Not only was his knowledge of trust law thorough and up-to-date, but he was very clear and also patient in his explanation to us of various provisions in the trust. I had just spent several months of frustration and confusion with a different lawyer in the administration of my parents' trust. Working with Mr. Boss was like a breath of fresh air after that experience. My phone calls and e-mails were answered promptly. All of the work on the trust was completed in the time agreed upon. We have already recommended him to our best friends, knowing that they would receive conscientious and excellent service.

I was the Executor of a Will with a trust benefiting two beneficiaries, myself and an estranged family member. When this responsibility was thrust on me I was busy with my business, refused to contact the second beneficiary and mostly ignored Don's direction and advice. Don chased me down, forcefully explained my legal obligations and laid out my detailed "To Do" list. Don made it as easy as possible for me but never relented on meeting deadlines and getting things done.
Don knew his stuff and how to manage at least one difficult client.

Mr. Parham Patrick Parhami is an excellent attorney and I have benefited greatly from his services. Given the stressful nature of my legal issues, Ms. Parhami was able to take out the time to explain every step of the process. He was efficient, professional, and open to seeking our further consultation in order to provide me with the most up-to date information regarding the specifics of my case. He resolved my concerns with ease and helped alleviate a great deal of my fears and anxieties. What I really appreciate about Mr. Parhami was his passion and zeal for the law as reflected by his extensive knowledge in various areas of specialty. I was also impressed by his ability to convey empathy and compassion from a non-judgmental stance. I highly recommend Mr. Parhami’s services and will continue to refer my colleagues, family, and friends.

Megan Moghtaderi provided exceptional service during a difficult time and her knowledge and professionalism were evident from start to finish.
Megan was always available when needed and her kindness was a bonus. I felt confident knowing Megan and her team were working diligently on my Trustee/Estate matter.
Additionally, I had Megan review our old trust and she did an excellent job updating the new one. I will definitely use Megan’s service again in the future.

I want to recognize the excellent experience we had with Megan Moghtaderi and her team. We had a situation where we needed a loan to the family trust in order to avoid triggering higher property taxes under Proposition 19, and we needed assistance with finalizing the distribution of the trust assets. We had been working with a previous attorney who was unable to complete the job, and time was of the essence.
Megan and her team obtained and reviewed the files from the previous attorney, worked with the loan company on a rush basis to calculate the distribution schedule and loan amount, facilitated the property transfer, filed the documentation with the assessor, and provided the documentation needed for taxes and beneficiary distribution.
Megan was clearly experienced and professional in handling this type of work, and was very patient and responsive to numerous emails and phone calls throughout the process. She was instrumental in finalizing the trust situation for us.
I will not hesitate to work with Megan in the future and highly recommend her for any trust needs.

I live out-of-state but I own a commercial property in California. In 2015, I needed an attorney to handle litigation with my property manager who was defrauding me by embezzling money he collected from tenants. I found attorney Natalya Byzova Kavanagh online. I hired her after talking with her on the phone, we never even met before I hired her, but I never regretted my decision. She is my attorney up to this date, and I used her for another legal dispute with one of my tenants, as well for any other real estate and general business needs. Natalya is great. She definitely knows her stuff, and she is very thorough when it comes to legal issues. She is always quick to return my phone calls or answer emails, she can answer my questions in a way that I can understand and she was always prompt and proactive in moving the case along. What I specifically like is that she is fair and honest with her bills. She would always advise me on the course of action most beneficial to me even if it meant less billable hours. I felt that she always had my best interests at heart.

We use Natalya of Imperium Law to review contracts and especially lease agreements or anything real estate related. She has helped us avoid problems and save a lot of money by finding things that we didn’t see. I feel like her billing practices are very fair, which is kind of a pet peeve of mine. We will definitely continue to use her in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone else needing a good and honest attorney.

Natalya remained calm and collected in a very hostile, multi year litigation, with multiple opponents. Results tell the whole story as she was able to get a favorable outcome in a difficult situation. My life would not be the same if I hadn't had her in my corner. I'd recommend her in a heart beat.

JR handled the sale of my mother's house upon her passing. He handled a sale between private parties, saving us commissions and we successfully avoided onerous provisions the title company attempted to impose upon us, avoided an arbitration clause and successfully navigated a deal with a stubborn buyer.
JR was friendly, competent. and flexible. I would definitely use him in the future should the need arise.

JR Richards took on my rental real estate case dealing with a non-paying tenant .. tenant was illusive when it came to rent payments .. tenant began to assume that since his long term vision (and he had no cash) was to purchase the property that he can ignore paying rent .. JR navigated the case beautifully with full knowledge of the process, JR was compassionate yet realistic and guided me and set expectations of what to expect and JR delivered .. JR filed the case and we won, tenant got evicted even though he tried to pull all stops, JR always seem to know what might happen and stayed a step ahead .. my full recommendation for JR to lead any of your real estate related cases! Very knowledgeable, strategic and anticipates with deep insights!

JR helped me resolve a frivolous lawsuit by a person who had no representative. Being from the east coast, I had no knowledge of the laws around a demur. With his expert knowledge and background in financial affairs and real estate, he managed to get us a settlement vs. an expensive demur and possible court appearance.
What a weight off my mind! JR is committed, knowledgeable, and looks out for your best interest and not his pockets.
How do you spell relief? JR
I would recommend him every time for your real estate or funding real estate legal needs.

Ethical, professional, efficient, thorough, and knowledgeable. That is what my experience with Mr. Antonio Maldonado and Maldonado Meyers LLP has always been when seeking legal counsel. The expertise that they offer regarding Mexican law in conjunction with honest, rapid, and thorough communication on my matter has made me, the client, very satisfied. He and his colleagues have always made themselves available to me when I have questions or seek clarification regarding my matter.
As a whole, the entire law group is top notch in terms of customer service, communication and efficiency. I highly recommend Antonio Maldonado and Maldonado Meyers LLP to anybody seeking legal counsel with matters regarding Mexican law and/or cross-border legal matters.

I recently closed a complicated and rushed real estate transaction in Mexico and retained Antonio Maldonado. I also have used Antonio in the past. I cannot say enough positive things about this guy. He is extremely bright, professional, reliable, prompt, and has loads of integrity. I would not hesitate for a moment to use him again and while I do not do this often I strongly encourage others to use him. Antonio was available to me 24/7 as were other in his firm, he was patient and a clear and concise communicator. He also listened very well and always repeated back to me what he felt I was saying. Lastly, there were times that he needed to be "tough" in my transaction both with me and others and he did not hesitate to do so which I respect. Again, if you have any legal matters that you need assistance with in Mexico you should consider Antonio.

Alex reviewed an employment contract for software development work that I was considering (I am a software developer). My company is based in another state, but the company I would work with was based in California.
Alex responded very quickly, and reviewed the contract promptly. He offered several insights into the contract that helped confirmed my suspicions about working with the company, and suggested a few courses of action I could take to protect myself should I still want to proceed with the contract.
In the end, I did not sign the agreement, and I thank Alex for his expert help making me feel comfortable with my decision.

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.
