Tommy is my go to business lawyer. He has advised my startup from the beginning like a co-founder. He is a great resource as outside general counsel whenever legal issues arise. He has helped us every step of the way with corporate formation/maintenance, contract drafting, internal policies, employment issues, intellectual property, tech and privacy issues, client contract negotiations, and overall business and legal strategy. We wouldn't be where we are without him. I highly recommend Tommy and Exponential Law to any entrepreneur who wants access to invaluable knowledge, guidance, and support in the legal aspects of starting and operating a business.

I was going through a very difficult time with my former employer which was not only affecting myself but family as well. I was looking for variety of places to help and no one wanted to take my case. I stumbled upon Vincent Calderone’s law firm and the moment I spoke to him he took my case. The great thing is he assured me that I had a strong case and that we would win and that’s what happened we won the case. I’m eternally grateful for what him and his team has accomplished. His communication is a 10 and if your complaint is legit you better believe Calderone law firm will do everything in there strength to fight for you. Hopefully I never go through the situation I had before again, but if I do they will be the ones I call for help. It gives me peace knowing that I have a good lawyer with a proven track record. If you’re looking for a lawyer this is the one to come to they can be trusted 100% as long as your legit.

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to everyone here at Greene Broillet & Wheeler. When dealing with a stressful and emotional situation that involves your daughter, you feel completely lost… but the first day they took my daughters case they took us in like part of their family. Everyone there helped us through the whole process and they showed Genuine interest in my daughter’s case. Our attorney Geoff and Christian were absolutely amazing and had so much knowledge that we felt completely safe that they was handling our case. Sofia as well I grew to love so much as she worked so hard for our case as well!! They were always so caring, on top of everything and communicated to us clearly and timely. They fought hard for my daughter and for our family. I will forever be grateful to them ❤️

If it hadn’t been for the help of this amazing team, I really don’t think that I would have been able to get my workers compensation benefits. From the start, my boss refused to take my claim seriously, so I quickly started looking for legal help. The guys here at this law firm were able to immediately get to work on my case and quickly get me the benefits that I was owed.

Listen Cortney pulls no punches and honestly should get into politics because she will debate you into your next life if your coming against her client. Having her on my side made me feel lucky cause I would hate being on the receiving end of her questioning. She's professional and scary because again if she's fighting for you, you are gonna start praying those coming against you have tissues for the tears they might cry after she is done with them. The best thing about Cortney is even though she takes no bull and is passionate about defending you, she also makes you feel so protected and thought of. You will NEVER find a lawyer like this who cares about your rights rather than what they would earn. They defend you to the end regardless, and I am so grateful God sent me just the right people to defend me in my sexual harassment case.

I had no idea what I was doing when I was looking for attorney, but what sold me was their slogan, "Women fighting for women." I knew immediately I made the right choice when Cortney and her firm reached out to me only 15 min after I emailed them! They were very caring when listening to my sexual harassment incident at work and were concerned for my wellbeing. I was constantly checked on and asked how I was doing through the course of the case and even offered to help pay for my therapy when I had trouble obtaining a therapist from my own doctors office! She and her firm, fought hard for me and always left the decision up to me. When something like this happens to you, it can be really scary and you dont know what to do. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Cortney and her team. You never feel alone, and you feel taken care of.

After other attorneys failed, Mark Eisenberg delivered. His strategic thinking and efficient but comprehensive review of documents resulted in a full recovery of my claims. Going to court and/or arbitration was authorized, however, thanks to Mark's approach it was unnecessary. Highly recommend.

Due to increased travel restrictions for COVID-19, my wife and I had to cancel our wedding at a resort in Mexico. We believed, per the contract, that we qualified for a refund; the resort did not agree and was giving us the run around.
Insert Alex, who analyzed the contract and clearly articulated our case in Spanish directly to the executive leadership team at the resort. Within a few days we had confirmation that we would be receiving a refund!

I am an archaeologist with an international profile (see my profile in the London Times website entitled "The Real-life Indiana Jones and the Mansion of Doom"). I have been keenly interested in Homer and his great epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey, and I created a multifaceted project to celebrate and research Homer, called The Homeric Project (homericproject.com). A part of that effort was to conduct archaeological fieldwork on a Greek island, searching for the lost Palace of Odysseus from the Odyssey. As part of my overall research on Homer, I believe I have discovered a lost code involving sacred symbolic numbers that Homer, I believe, intentionally incorporated into both his epic poems. I wrote up my research, with my new discoveries, in a research paper entitled, "The Mystery of Homer's Numbers," which I copyrighted with the US Copyright Office in 2013.
The reason I retained Mr. Lauson was due to the following. I was conducting my field work in Greece with a colleague, with whom I also spent time writing on a projected book about the project. I had a falling-out with that colleague and terminated the joint project (including the book). In a subsequent letter from the colleague, a claim was made that she had filed a joint co-authorship of my "Homer's Numbers" paper with the US Copyright Office and it was implied that it had not only been applied for, but had actually been accepted and was in force. Therefore, my former colleague made those claims, which were not true. Since I could not stand to have such claims made on my original research, my discoveries and my paper -- and especially after my ex-colleague had an attorney send me a letter re-affirming the false claims -- I was forced to seek a professional attorney to defend me, my work and my reputation. I'm glad I found Mr. Robert Lauson because he did an outstanding job in straightening the mess out. He reviewed the facts I gave him, including a copy of my 2013 copyright which pre-dates the alleged copyright of 2014 by a year. His due diligence also disclosed that my ex-colleague did not submit my paper for copyright as stated. In fact, the copyright was not submitted until May 6 of this year (2015). Mr. Lauson completely agreed with my position on the whole matter and, unlike my ex-colleague's attorney who wrote an inaccurate and disparaging letter to me, Mr. Lauson wrote him back a very professional letter factually pointing out all the "misrepresentations" that my ex-colleague's attorney had stated based on the wrong information he had received from his client. Mr. Lauson also quoted in the same letter the legal precedents which supported my rightful legal interpretation of the case. Furthermore, and subsequent to that letter, Mr. Lauson was proactive with the US Copyright Office and got them to reject my ex-colleague's attempt to make a claim on my exclusive intellectual property. Hopefully that good action will have the effect of being a final termination to the attempt to make any claims on my original research and written research paper.
In short, Attorney Robert Lauson was cordial, very professional and knowledgeable about how to handle my case. Moreover, he did an outstanding job of dealing with my adversary's attorney and with straightening out the situation with the US Copyright Office, that resulted in a decision by it in my favor. I can't thank him enough for his good work, which has not only set the record straight but has gone a long way to restoring my peace of mind about my original work and my career.

I was intimidated to speak with a lawyer about an area of the law that was totally foreign to me but I needed a professional opinion of my idea and the likelihood of obtaining a patent. It was as important to me to get an assessment, as it was to learn as much as could about the process. I did not want to drop my idea on a desk and wait for results.
A friend of mine referred me to Bob. I knew at the end of our first appointment that he fit my requirements. He explained that his job is to
interpret the Patent Law and apply it to my idea, so that if necessary, modifications can me made to be successful with the Patent Office. He made suggestions that gave me food for thought, including that I should consider a trademark for the name.
I was very comfortable speaking with him and liked that he took the time to
teach me. I left his office feeling good and knowing what I needed to do to
keep rolling, what to expect, and that I made contact with a friendly lawyer
that will guide me without me being intimidated.
Since that appointment, he has communicated with me often to make sure
we are progressing.
I would recommend him to anyone seeking a patent.

The absolute best! If your circumstances bring you the silver lining of being lucky enough to work with Christian and Greene Broillet & Wheeler, you will find them to have an impeccable reputation that has earned them both power and clout throughout the legal community. Their team is honest, compassionate, straightforward, and will not only care about your case, they will care about you as people. They successfully navigated a complex case for us without letting anything fall through the cracks, and continued to fight through all the challenges our case faced. As they said from the beginning, a relationship with them isn't just limited to the case; it extends for life. We couldn't be more grateful for their expertise, heart, and hard work.

When my wife was involved in an accident, GBW was recommended to me by a friend who was very happy with their service. Christian Nickerson and his colleagues did an awesome job working with us to put the case together, conduct negotiations and secure our claim. We are very happy with the settlement and being able to avoid a long court case. Christian was empathetic, professional, balanced, on schedule and very efficient in working with us and in dealing with others on both sides. We were very satisfied and feel confident in recommending him to others.

I’m an attorney in Houston, Texas. We had a lawsuit that needed to be filed in Los Angeles. As someone who had previously practiced for years in California, I knew about Greene Broillet & Wheeler’s reputation and knew they were my first choice as a law firm that I wanted to joint venture with on the case. After reviewing the file, they agreed to take the case. From day one, everyone was professional and easy to work with. Christian Nickerson was the primary, handling attorney on the case and the attorney I worked with the most. He was responsive, answered any questions we had immediately, and corresponded with the clients as well. Client interaction is extremely important to me as an attorney. I believe that we as the attorneys work for the clients. It is their case, and ultimately, my duty is to them to make sure that they are informed at all times and are fully involved in their case. Christian far exceeded these expectations. My client kept telling me how much he appreciated Christian and the work that his firm did for him.
Further, Greene Broilett & Wheeler was relentless in going after the opposing party. They pushed for a trial date and pushed for discovery. They were never complacent and were always working to get the client the best result possible. In the end, they were able to get a settlement that was the largest the opposing party had ever paid. I am extremely pleased with the result and firmly believe it was truly the best result for the client that we could have hoped for. I will absolutely work with this firm every chance I can get.

I don't usually do reviews but I had to come on here because I am so happy with the service I got! My husband and I had to file a chapter 13 recently and we were referred by a friend. Attorney Woodson was very competent and gracious and she really made this process so easy. She was very understanding of our situation and put us at ease in what would normally be an overwhelming or stressful situation. I felt like I had a friend who just happened to be a good lawyer and we never felt alone in this situation. If we had a question she didn't make us feel silly for asking and she always would answer us right away. She is also FAST and INEXPENSIVE with no extra fees! We were very very pleased with her service!!! I HIGHLY recommend this law firm!

I cannot be more appreciative of what the Maloney firm did for me!
I had used a different firm, and was taken. Mr Maloney stopped "the bleeding", and retrieved fundsthat were wrongfully charged to me.
If I had used the Maloney firm from the beginning, things would have gone much better.
Mr. Maloney and his entire team could not have been more helpful.

We hired Patrick upon a referral, and could not have been more pleased with that decision. He was professional, knowledgeable, informative, etc. He stayed in constant contact with us, keeping us aware of all that was going on. This was a very stressful event/case for me, and he was completely supportive, making the process so much easier to endure. He acted not just as a lawyer, but as a friend. I have nothing but positive things to say about him, and I would absolutely hire him again. He is deserving of five stars, as he (and his entire staff) did an outstanding job. Thanks Patrick!

I have been working with Patrick Maloney now for 4 months. He was referred to me by another law firm in San Diego. Mr Maloney has the capabilities of taking on complex issues that span across the globe and simplifying the legal matters better than 99% of attorneys ever would or could. He has the ability to understand any business model, partnership, or business contract in a short amount of time. Patrick sees the "high level" and knows how to conserve time, be effective and diligently represent his clients with passion. Highly recommend and without question, you'll be hearing a lot more about this guy!

I simply do not have words adequate, kind, and appreciative enough to capture how grateful I am for Jamie Keeton and her entire legal team at Schlichter and Shonack, including the wonderful Kevin Wheeler, Jamie Fountain, and Kellie Baker.
I found Ms. Keeton through my employer legal insurance plan and her entire legal team helped me when I was so desperate for help in a legal situation when the opposing party was trying to abuse the legal system to harass, intimidate, and financially harm my family.
I spoke to Ms. Keeton in my moments of utter desperation after numerous phone calls with other attorneys and from the moment I spoke with her, I knew that she was brilliant, articulate, fearless, yet kind and personable. She gave me her phone number and told me I could reach out to her any time which was particularly comforting. I waited what seemed to be a very long weekend, hoping and praying that she would take my case, and when she did, I knew there was no greater advocate I could have in my corner.
Kevin Wheeler was my point of contact and he advocated tirelessly for me. His words were always so patient, kind, and comforting. Being a type-A professional myself, I far too often did way too much legal research instead of leaving that up to my attorneys and then would email Kevin probably the silliest of questions in my moments of weakness and unease but he would just politely, patiently, and kindly answer my questions and always put me at ease. By the end of the ordeal, I trusted them so much that I stopped reading the opposing party's papers, stopped doing legal research, and just focused on my every day life, knowing well that my attorneys would blow them out of the water with whatever response they were preparing. This was probably the best part of having them represent me because being able to disinvolve myself from something that is particularly emotional is totally against my personality and it can be particularly destructive, especially since the whole point of hiring an attorney is so you can relax. For me, I can really only disinvolve myself if I know I am in good hands, and it only took the reading of one of their legal papers for me to know they've got it totally under control. As a professional myself, it takes a certain amount of skill to be able to handle situations in which people from outside your profession come to your office and present you with data that you know better than they do. Whenever I would be guilty of doing that, Kevin would handle it with such patience and grace, and put me at ease, letting me know they've got it handled.
Jamie Fountain was also a gem. She worked tirelessly on the legal research of my case and spent so many hours on the preparation of the legal documents. Every time I would read the legal documents, I would be shocked as to how she and every one else could prepare such persuasive, brilliant arguments with so much legal precedents behind those arguments, with such tremendous efficiency as reflected in their billed hours. For Kevin Wheeler , Jamie Fountain and Kellie Baker, who are still relatively young in their career, to have such talent, I can only imagine the bright future ahead of them.
It was no surprise that the entire unpleasant ordeal ended with a legal victory because of everyone's efforts.
I could not be more thankful for the sequence of events that led me to Jamie Keeton of the Firm Schlichter and Shonack.
While certainly there are no guarantees in any legal situation, I can guarantee that based on my experience, Jamie Keeton and her legal team, will tirelessly advocate for you in a way that is fearless, diligent, persuasive, efficient, kind, and honest. I highly recommend them.

Jamie is an incredibly knowledgable, professional, and compassionate attorney. I was challenged with an unreasonable employer that tried to limit my external career opportunities. Jamie handled the case effectively and quickly.

I would definitely recommend Jamie as an attorney and as a great person.

I wish to thank you for your professionalism and dedication. Greenberg and Ruby took my case to heart and helped me navigate the intricate and confusing paths legal matters can take. Diligent, caring, and always accessible, Emily Ruby has stood by me through each step of this process. Her commitment and expertise was always evident and I cannot recommend anyone else who will work side by side with you as hard as she did with me.

I strongly recommend Rager Law, as they are professionals, and act that way. Calm, casual, confident.
I had the misfortune of needing legal advice from an employment attorney. I reached out to three. Jeff Rager was the first to respond and was very nice. (Mind you, I typically steer very clear of attorneys.)
The second firm replied, but after a couple emails they referred me to Rager Law, because of who my employer was.
The third never responded to my note.
I worked for Kaiser Permanente and had some trouble. I only reached out to get legal advice, after spending a year trying to get some sort of meaningful dialogue. Being pointed to different people, who then referred me to other people. Some people relied on policies that had good intentions, but the policies were not followed. I was exasperated and stressed. I knew how a pinball felt, getting bounced around only to fall into a hole and start over again.
As a last resort, I decided to hire an attorney, I hoped someone would listen to my lawyer and I could get back to work. I had a good reputation and loved helping people. I loved my work, my patients, and my co-workers. I knew that I could not lower my stress with overly aggressive and mean representation. I needed integrity and nice people. I wanted to get back to work.
I'm so glad to have had Rager Law with me. The kind tone of communication was nice and respectful. When the other side was late getting something to our team, Jeff would alway give them the benefit of a doubt. Jeff and his team remained firm and professional, without bad behavior. When things needed a stronger tone or action, Jeff and his team were right there, and stayed respectful. They were with me for the long haul and were confident in their abilities. They know their law and lean on the right way to do things. I felt safe with a legal team with such integrity and polite ways.
There were loads of records, and they went through everything. When it came down to it, we agreed to settle. I wanted to get on with my life. I heard the pro's and con's of my decision, and while we had an extremely strong case, I decided to move on.
Going to court would have yielded more money, but it wasn't about that - to me. I felt good about the settlement amount, which was enough to place attention on how not to treat people and to do the right thing, and also catch up my savings.
Employers only change behavior if it's expensive to continue the bad behavior. Since I wouldn’t be going back, I hope I helped start some kind of meaningful shift to doing the right thing.
Finally, the fee schedule. I appreciated that the fee schedule changed the more the case progressed. At first I thought, "that's a lot," and it was. Other firms were a tad higher. In the end, I feel like Rager Law earned their money. Their support had comfort, confidence, and was an absolute value.
Now that everything is done, I feel like I have a distant friend in the legal world. They are really that nice. I can't say enough good about Rager Employment Lawyers.
I offer you this, it's best to reach out early and not become exasperated with worry and stress.

Mr. Rager & Mr. Moon were amazing lawyers for my employment case against a large hospital system in North/South California. They were responsive, encouraging & fought for me every step of the way. We won! I’ve referred them to many friends in need. Thank you both for all you did. I am very grateful! Geannine RN

Jason Stone very successfully represented me in a dispute over repeated roof leaks in my condo. I spent nearly a year with walls torn out, exposed beams and an unsafe environment after water damage. The HOA would make no commitment to repairs. As soon as I hired Jason and he contacted them, repairs commenced. Not only that, with his experience, knowledge and persistence, he was able to get me a very favorable monetary settlement.
Jason was kind and encouraging throughout the process, making sure I understood the process and legalities. He worked extremely hard on my behalf in a situation where I was powerless to take on an uncaring HOA and their indifferent insurance company. Thank you, Jason!

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to everyone here at Greene Broillet & Wheeler. When dealing with a stressful and emotional situation that involves your daughter, you feel completely lost… but the first day they took my daughters case they took us in like part of their family. Everyone there helped us through the whole process and they showed Genuine interest in my daughter’s case. Our attorney Geoff and Christian were absolutely amazing and had so much knowledge that we felt completely safe that they was handling our case.

I cannot express how grateful I am to Cedric. Right from the beginning, when I was selecting my lawyer, I conducted extensive consultations and found that many attorneys provided varying answers to numerous questions. After educating myself by reading numerous law books to ensure I knew the correct answers to many questions I had, I discovered that several lawyers had given me incorrect information. After contacting nearly every immigration lawyer in Los Angeles, Cedric was the only one who answered all my questions correctly. He was incredibly patient, friendly, and never made me feel any pressure. I felt very comfortable sharing with him a lot of information that I couldn’t even comfortably share with anyone else regarding my case. I’m extremely grateful to have met Cedric. Throughout the process of gathering documents and the few years I was waiting for the response from the USCIS, Cedric made the entire process extremely easy for me. He kept me updated every time he heard anything from the USCIS. Thank you!

I was injured in a car accident and contacted Shawn through a referral. Shawn immediately made me feel at ease and legally protected from the first moment that he received my case. Shawn’s entire staff (Nancee in particular) took great care of me and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. Shawn checked in on me every step of the way, always asking about how I’m feeling and my injury first before getting into the specifics/stage of my case. It made me feel like he really cared! Ultimately, Shawn helped to settle my case and I really feel like I received what I was owed. I’m so happy that I reached out to Shawn and his team after my accident, the entire process was seamless and stress free. I will
always recommend this law firm to anyone seeking guidance/protection in a personal injury case.

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.
