Every step of the way, alaleh was there with prompt responses, thorough explanations, and a reassuring smile. It felt less like I was working with a lawyer and more like I had a trusted friend guiding me through a tough time. She went above and beyond to make sure my case was handled with the utmost care and attention. The outcome was more than I could have hoped for!

A five star rating and more for Fred Schwartz, is more than deserved. He handled my case in a calm, confident manner which included a compassionate concern for my well being. Fred investigated the accident in minute detail, gathered evidence and handled my claim negotiations. While it was a difficult path to physically move through this injury; I was surprised to experience an emotion healing when I received significant compensation for my pain and suffering. I am grateful, I had the BEST attorney in Fred Schwartz!

Jason is a complete and total professional - trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and organized. He knew exactly what I needed, outlined a very clear plan, and shared that plan with me to make sure I understood everything. He answered all my questions thoroughly and patiently (despite my extremely fussy and meticulous nature), and if he didn't have an answer, he did the research until he found one. I could not have received better guidance and legal service from anyone else.
Amongst all of his great qualities, what stands out about Jason is his ability to listen. While most people are solely preoccupied with getting his/her next word in, Jason possesses the skill of being a great listener which is a rarity. It reflects wisdom, patience, and a true concern for the needs of those for whom he is providing service.
From the initial phone call to the last piece of paperwork, I could not have asked for a better experience. Jason is the consummate professional in every way.

I contacted at least 50 attorneys before I found Sarkissian Law Group. Each firm either turned me down, didn’t respond to my inquiry, or told me I don’t have a case. However, Sarkissian Law Group took a chance on me and was able to resolve my complaint to my satisfaction. I am very happy with the results, and for everything that they did for me.

I hired Mr. Gersh and his entire firm for a multi-million dollar business dispute with exigencies that required immediate and expert action. I was promised both. I received neither.
Four weeks later having received almost NO action, still not being in Court, seeing what I felt was terrible work product, having virtually no questions asked by any of them about the facts nor answers to almost any of my questions, I fired Gersh. For work that was worth between $0.00 and negative $0.00 in my opinion, and that even an average first year lawyer I believe could have done far better, Mr. Gersh has billed me for about $60,000, keeping my $40,000 deposit, and claiming that I owe him $20,000. He seems to delegate by far most of his work to lawyers that seem to have almost no business in a case of my magnitude, and personally, I think he was not honest, competent, or a good attorney. I do not know about anyone else who has come into contact with him but the way I see it, he and his firm ripped me off!

Jeffrey Gersh has represented me in multiple cases over the past decade. He is a lawyer who genuinely cares about his clients. Jeff recently won an appeal for me in a very convoluted bankruptcy case in which I was a victim of fraud and malicious prosecution. Beyond his extremely professional work ethic and accomplishments, Jeff is quite personable, very accommodating to my needs and has become a good friend of our family. I highly recommend Jeffrey F. Gersh to anyone in need of one of the finest attorneys Los Angeles has to offer.

Jeff is the best! I've hired him twice and he really went to bat for me. The first time, my outcome was amazing. We are still in process with the second engagement, but he's doing an excellent job and I know I'll be delighted with the results.

I am a CPA and have worked with quite a few of my clients' trust attorneys so I have a basis of comparison. I had Mr. Stern do my wife and my Will and Living Trust and also my Mother's Will and Living Trust. There were some possible issues with some potential beneficiaries who would not be pleased with our bequests and Ellis made some very intelligent and caring suggestions as to how these potential problems could be solved with the least possibility of any litigation in the future. Certainly not looking to generate extra fees.
His fees were well within the going rates in Encino and actually, I was surprised at how reasonable they were for the services performed. At all times, Mr. Stern acted ethically and this is quite important to me being a CPA. For disclosure, other then Mr. Stern doing my personal work, I have never had any business relationship with him for myself or my clients.
I obviously only can speak to my own experiences with Mr. Stern in relationship to the experiences. I think I have a good background as a CPA to judge an attorneys work, ethics and professionalism and it is difficult for me to believe that this is the same person I have dealtt with over the years.

Summary evaluation of legal expertise: J. Gabriel, simply stated, is extremely knowledgeable regarding the law. He is also shrewd in his application of the law. An additional important perspective is his understanding of the intricacies of courtroom presentation to a judge versus the tactful, diplomatic maneuvering required for presentation to a jury ensuring the most positive outcome. We have trusted him to handle numerous, diverse affairs relating to our Bel Air property surrounded a complex mix of adversarial, irresponsible neighbors. In each case, he established his agenda requiring us to be flexible in our perspective. In several cases (two in court), he always prevailed in our favor. Cantankerous neighbors were succumbed to his skillful application of the law. All of our case results were successful. Be prepared: he utilizes his superior education placing knowledge, tenacity and perseverance on the line to win your case.

Jonathon Gabriel Is not what he professed to be! He promised me everything and delivered on nothing! All I heard were excuses from him and his assistant David! For instance "Jonathan can't take your calls because he's got dental problems and I was at the dentist last week!! "David who along with Jonathon have a condescending attitude, they both talk over you and quite frankly don't want to hear what you have to say when questioned!! They failed to get the information needed for the Bond and I had to get the information and Supply them with it at which point they still failed to act on it for another 4 months Never Keeping Me apprised of what was going on or how much money they were spending. After 9 months and exhausting the money that I had given them they have the audacity to ask for more money! Guess what my response was your fired!! I hired a new attorney who did more in one month than he, Jonathon did in nine and a half months my recommendation is don't hire him he's a blow heart!! Im filing a complaint with the board!

Mr. Gabriel doesn't understand the intricacies of law and fails to make up for his shortcomings by using condescending tones and downright rude comments to the court. He is great at billing his clients for using his time, so he gets 2-stars.

This man was hired by my ill mother to make changes in our family trust. Not only was the work he did incorrect, invalid and illegal but he assured my sick mother and myself that this was all valid and legal. Documents were signed, notarized and made to be a part of the original trust document. Fast forward, mother passes away, and we find out that nothing that this quack did was legal, or valid. Our family was not only devastated but we were threatened with legal action. So, stupidly, we allow this man to continue handling the finalizing of the estate etc. Phone calls would go un-returned. We'd get an occasional request to come in to the office fo signatures, etc. The estate had to go thru probate.....WHY? Finally we come to a conclusion, sad, confused, nothing had gone the way this man had explained PRIOR to mom's death. WHY? I had promised myself that once this was over and done I was going to file a complaint with the bar association, but the question I am asked is WHAT ARE YOUR DAMAGES? I can't put a dollar amount on the level of anguish that our family went thru starting with the assurances this REPUTABLE (?) HONEST (?) attorney made to my sick mother prior to her death.

I worked for Robert for almost 2 years late 1980's and in review found him to be honorable, ethical, and fair. A devoted husband and caring father, and diligent advocate. All qualities of a man with good characteristics- he was factual and diligent in his clients' cases, and his office was one of the most open and well planned workspaces I ever had the pleasure of working in. You would be in good hands for your legal needs. His demeanor was respectful, kind and pleasant.

Unfortunately, there are times when it is better to represent yourself (almost never), and if you must chose between self representation or Mr. Goodfriend I would recommend the former. As objectively, and fairly, as I am able these are the general concerns I had in my experience with Mr. Goodfriend's councel:
1) Non- responsive to calls
2) Did not pursue desired result
3) Lacked strategy
4) Very timid- easily intimidated by opposing attorney
5) Very aloof
6) I had to provide direction for edits in his correspondence with opposing council because his own lacked cohesion and provided many loopholes for ant semi competent lawyer to be able to exploit
7) Timliness was abysmal- took weeks to draft requests (1 pager)
Ultimately, I found new council who in a matter of weeks resolved the issues. There are times when one's job title, or institution from which one graduates doe not reflect the quality of service one would come to expect. This, certainly, was my experience in this matter.

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.
