5 years ago I had a problem with the IRS I owed them a lot of money and I was living in constant fear .
Then I met Jessie and his staff. Right off the bat they got me out of all the stress I had.
They did everything for me , no hassle at all. Good fees, they accommodated to my schedule for meetings, they were very helpful.
I love their new office right in the center of Chula Vista.
I would totally recomend you to see them to help you with anything.
My husband and I have been doing our tax declaration with them every since then.
5 stars!!!

I highly recommend Broaden Law if you are considering getting a divorce.
Marisa Nahale and her team were excellent at helping me through the process and ensuring everything was done fairly and correctly. I moved out of the state, and they handled everything from submitting documents to appearing in court on my behalf. They did a superb job keeping me in
the loop, making the whole process a breeze. You won't regret having this incredible team on your side.

I do not want to share at the time . Worst experience that turned out due to ending relationship with Bui and Ilya. My advise is as follows : Go with big firms even if they do not say they they will do contingency -there are exceptions. We paid 400 for initial but it was waived and the other partners all agreed and voted to accept case, the new firm that is. Research everything you are told and question....bad attorney will Lie about statutes and time limits and say you have a bad case so take the low offer just to avoid working it.

The lack
of compassion and professionalism that Mr. Hernandez displayed towards my family and I was down right distributing.
Mr. Hernandez briefly represented me in a family law case agiast me and my soon to be ex-wife. Where we share IVF conceived son . Same sex marriage
After never being able to get a hold of him, he would go weeks without returning phone calls. Sometimes it got so bad I’d have to from different numbers just for him to respond.
Due to his lack of preparation, mr Hernandez was supposed to file paperwork with the court on my behalf opposing said motions. And we went to court the judge had informed him that he never filed a response with the court after a least a 3 months continues . She also said we ran the risk of her granting all of their motions because he NEVER filed a response.
And when I inquired he asked me who my son (Father) was. And I said he was a ivf baby noted in my file he doesn’t have a father but has 2 moms .
Then proceeded to ask if I knew my sons father.
I mentioned again… my son doesn’t have a father hes a donor baby. He was trying to see if he could split custody 3 ways. Which was bizarre, and not appropriate at all
He also mentioned he never filed a motion because he was saving me money. So I was confused on what I was paying for. And when I asked more questions, he said we can substitute out and hung up on me.
When dealing with family law you must understand that these cases are extremely complex. Treated my case more so as corporate law
I plan to file further action with state bar.

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.
