My boyfriend hired Marc Gibbons & he worked tirelessly for us. While he should have received 3 years jail time for his DUI, Marc was able to get him a medical release with 5 years probation. Great attorney & great firm! They will do a great job for you!

I was working for Walmart during the pandemic of 2020. Unfortunately, I contacted covid-19 while working and spent 2 months in the hospital being disabled for years after and couldn't work. Walmart didn't look after me at all. Didn't pay any lost wages or medical treatment. They denied my workers' compensation claim, and they fired me. I chose the canlas law group to handle my case. After 2 1/2 years of Walmart denying my claim and all treatment. Walmart gave me a very low offer for me to go away, but me and Mr. Canlas continued to fight. After aggressive ligation by Mr. Canlas, we settled my case that was in the six figures! I can't thank mr. Canlas and his firm for sticking with my case and fighting against a huge company like Walmart and getting me a good settlement. God bless you sir! 🙏

I reached out to Sarah concerning a dog bite issue. Sarah took the time to review our information, listened to the details of our case and was very honest with her responses. Talking to her allowed me to better understand what we were up against and ultimately made me feel so much more prepared. She is very knowledgeable about Animal Law and familiar with how Orange County runs their programs. She even took the time to outline key points for us to help with our case. I am so grateful for her help!

Jenny is the best attorney I ever worked with. She is very bright, smart, professional and helpful. She also speaks my language.:) Thanks for her hard work, our company got a very good settlement result on a fairly complicated EDD audit case in a short time. Jenny saved us a lot of money and time! Working with her was a great experience. Jenny has a good understanding of our expectation and is quick in getting center point from our communications including comments, information, documents and feedback. She is perceptive, efficient, yet careful. Whereas she is able to rapidly grasp the situation at hand. Jenny worked carefully to construct a solid settlement case and interacting with us patiently to ensure all key critical issues are addressed and resolved. Jenny is a fighter! Believe me, she will fight hard for you and save you money, time and energy! Overall, I am very satisfied with Jenny's work ethics and the result she got us. Highly recommend!!

I was in a car accident and getting "screwed" by an insurance company that didn't want to pay the full amount I thought I deserved, so I decided I needed a lawyer's help. A friend of mine had used Brian before and highly recommended him. Brian made everything easy to understand and gave me updates during the whole process to let me know what was going on. I asked him tons of questions and he was always available, by phone or email. Brian's the real thing.. a real pro. I highly recommend using him if you are having legal problems.

Attorney Jason Martinez was absolutely fantastic to me and my family throughout my case. He always considered my bottom dollar throughout the duration of the case and the entire staff was always able to help with whatever questions I had. Attorney Martinez not only “won” my case but assured me and walked me through the entirety of it. I’d recommend this office for ANY and ALL family law needs. There’s nowhere else I’d rather be than with these great folks. 15/10 would recommend for anyone else. My case took years to wrap up and there was never a moment I felt that my wants/needs/voice was going unheard. Definitely the best legal service I’ve ever had!

I cannot express enough gratitude for RM Law Group for guiding my family and me through a challenging two-year custody battle. Their dedication and expertise were evident from day one. While we didn't get everything we asked the courts for, RM Law Group ensured we secured the most critical aspects that truly mattered to us. The team was always professional, empathetic, and responsive, making a stressful situation much more manageable. Their ability to navigate the complexities of our case and their unwavering support gave us confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. Thank you, RM Law Group, for your hard work, persistence, and for fighting for the best possible outcome for our family. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate legal team.

On April 24, 2024, I experienced a hit-and-run accident on the 91 Freeway during rush hour. It was a three-car chain reaction caused by a black truck that struck a Tesla, which then collided with my minivan. Unfortunately, the driver of the truck fled the scene, and I only learned about their departure through witness accounts after the fact. Having maintained a flawless driving record for 17 years, with no tickets or accidents, I was caught completely off guard by the situation. I wasn’t sure where to start—should I contact my insurance company, arrange for vehicle repairs, or see a doctor first? On top of that, I was dealing with a severe headache from the impact, which made it even harder to think clearly. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) arrived shortly after the accident and directed us to pull over safely. They facilitated the exchange of insurance and contact information and filed a police report. Once I returned home, I sought advice from friends about my next steps. Several of them recommended I reach out to VLC (Victims’ Legal Counsel), and I’m incredibly grateful that I did. From the moment I contacted VLC, they took control of the situation, handling every detail on my behalf. They scheduled medical evaluations to address my injuries, coordinated directly with my insurance provider, worked with healthcare professionals, and arranged for a rental vehicle. My van sustained significant damage, and VLC successfully negotiated with my insurance company to have it deemed a total loss. This allowed me to secure a good settlement to purchase a new van. Throughout the entire process, the VLC team—especially Daniel and Shane—maintained constant communication. They provided updates regularly and made sure I was informed about every step. Their professionalism was matched by their genuine care, as they consistently treated me like family. Looking back, I can’t imagine navigating this ordeal without their help. For anyone dealing with an accident, I highly recommend VLC. Their expertise and personalized support make all the difference in overcoming such a stressful experience.

I was in a car accident just a week before my wedding, and the woman who hit me not only accused me of causing the crash (which I didn't) but also didn't have insurance. I wasn't sure how to handle the situation, but Daniel from Victims Legal Counsel made the process completely stress-free. He was incredibly patient, reassuring, and explained everything in a clear, easy-to-understand manner. I can't recommend Victims Legal Counsel highly enough!

After getting fired from a job, I needed advice on the next steps to take and was so glad I found Cheyla. I spoke to multiple employment lawyers but Cheyla’s advice was the most helpful even though she wasn’t able to take my case. She was also easily reachable and thorough in all her questions. Other lawyers were only concerned about whether they were interested in my case but Cheyla made sure I was taken care of by referring other lawyers as well. She even offered to review my severance negotiation email which was super helpful. Thank you Cheyla!

I had an issue with a dog bite case and I consulted with another attorney before reaching out to Oliver Olumba. The previous attorney didn't give my case the attention it deserved and I decided to look elsewhere. Oliver came as a referral from a friend who he also took great care of. I couldn't be happier with the results. He was involved in all the steps of the process and was very transparent with me. He collected all the evidence and presented it with expertise in court and we won! Can't get better than that. I highly recommend Mr. Olumba.

Steven Chung is big on FB and auto PR but actually I found him incompetent, unprofessional, unreliable and has no clue whatsoever on business and tax law. He took $200 for Messenger consultation on a simple transfer of LLC ownership (resolved in a few hours by another lawyer) and his consultation was that “I need a lawyer”… After thinking and delaying me with 10 days. He’s just waste of money and time.

If anyone needs to get out of a tax pickle, this is your guy! He came recommended by many people in the business community and I'm so glad we took their recommendation. We've spent the last two years working with him on a case and he got it completely dropped! We truly believe his experience in fighting tax cases and knowledge of the subject matter are what really helped us get the case dropped. His written responses to the FTB were thoroughly researched and backed by precedence that was hard to reject. We signed and paid a retainer at the beginning (which is standard for any lawyer to engage them in work) and then he sent us a final bill after our case was dropped. I was scared what his final bill was going to be but the amount was very fair and reasonable considering the lengthy amount of time our case took to resolve due to being passed to multiple auditors. He is seriously the best and a true expert in his field.

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.

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.
