Mr. Howard was truly one of the best attorneys I've ever had to deal with. He gives professional and exceptionally competent advice regarding any legal issue you bring him. Taylor will provide you with honest advice, fair prices and efficient work from start to finish. I highly recommend him.

First time going through a law experience due to being involved in a car accident. I chose to move forward with Rony, because he was kind, trustworthy, and honest. I had no idea how the process is done but he explained to me the process and was very communicative. He kept me informed of every step he was going to proceed with. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. I appreciate his hard work and dedication, I received a settlement that exceeded my expectations! I would recommend going with the Saleh Law Group (Rony) moving forward to everyone!

Formal Complaint Regarding Legal Representation by Robert Phan
Background
I retained the legal services of Robert Phan of Garcia and Phan for representation in two legal matters, engaging his services based on a personal referral and his claims of 20+ years of legal experience.
Specific Concerns with Legal Representation
1. Court Appearances and Professional Negligence
During the course of representation, I received multiple court notices indicating warrants for my arrest due to alleged failure to appear. Upon investigation, these warrants were a direct result of Mr. Phan's repeated failure to appear in court, despite assurances that he would handle all court dates on my behalf.
2. Ineffective Case Management
Contrary to initial confidence, Mr. Phan did not pursue optimal case resolution strategies:
*He prioritized "keeping me out of jail" over potentially dismissing cases
*Suggested proceeding to trial, explicitly noting increased expenses
*Indicated need to bring in additional counsel, suggesting inadequate expertise for the cases
3. Incomplete Case Review and Discovery
Critical issues were identified regarding case preparation:
*Mr. Phan requested I recall specific case dates, despite having this information in police reports
*Failed to thoroughly review discovery documents
*Claimed to have lost discovery materials for one of my cases
4. Missed Legal Opportunities
An independent attorney confirmed that one case potentially qualified for dismissal due to expired statute of limitations - an avenue Mr. Phan failed to explore.
Communication Breakdown
After expressing dissatisfaction with the services rendered, I requested a refund. My attempts to communicate via phone, email, and text were systematically ignored.
Requested Action
I am formally requesting a comprehensive review of the legal services provided by Robert Phan, with particular attention to:
1. Professional conduct
2. Case management practices
3. Client communication standards
Conclusion
The representation provided fell significantly below the professional standards expected of legal counsel, causing substantial professional and personal disruption.

PARKER LAW CENTER Kellee Parker Harris, Candice Ashley and TEAM! Wow! I’ll just start off with how amazing they are! So professional and everything they say and advertise is the true. I searched many lawyers and got many opinions when I felt I was wrongfully charged with a DUI. So many thoughts and emotions running through me as I searched during this time. Very stressful as well. It was hard. Then I came across PARKER LAW CENTER. After reading through their website. I felt great about what I read. So informative. When I spoke to Kellee and staff. I knew I found my lawyer. I didn’t feel with them at all that I was guilty of getting charged with a DUI. That was a big deal to me at that moment as other lawyers seem to be writing me off as I was guilty without hearing me out. You can feel it. Kellee and team communicated with me throughout my case. Always in the knowing. Long story short because I can continue writing how amazing they are in the end I didn’t get a DUI! It was a long case battle but I had faith and in the end I’m so grateful I came across Kellee. Today it’s all behind me with peace of mind and still driving. If your going through a hard time with a charge give them a call. You won’t regret it. Thank you Kellee!

When I was in need of legal counsel, I did my due diligence and learned that the services provided by the Parker Law Center Firm were second to none. I retained Attorney Parker and could not be more pleased with her representation. The entire staff and counsel walked me through the initial process and have been by my side every step of the way. I can't thank the entire office enough for going above and beyond any and every expectation I had for them in guiding me through this very intimidating and confusing matter and helping me obtain the best possible outcome.

ROBERT TAYLOR IS THE BEST! I filed for bankruptcy 7 years ago and it’s was one of the best decisions I have ever made to get my life back on track. He made the process so extremely easy, comfortable, and seamless! He has been there for me in so many ways that I can’t thank him enough! Great personality and really cares about his clients and explains everything so efficiently! He is the best and even 7 years later I needed him again for some documents for proof of discharge and he did it all in less than 2 minutes. Years later and he still is supporting and helping me! HE IS THE BEST! If you are looking for a lawyer he is the one!

Their commitment to fighting for justice was evident, and they even offered extra advice, which I greatly appreciated. Their ability to stay persistent in the courtroom was crucial to the positive outcome.

I had a red light ticket with camera footage and used Scott’s law office for representation. The process was incredibly simple—I just sent a picture of my citation and had a quick phone call with the attorney. They handled everything smoothly, kept me well-informed, and their communication skills were excellent. My case was dismissed without me needing to appear in court. The one-time fee of $250 was worth it. Highly recommend!

**Five-Star Review for an Outstanding Traffic Attorney**
I can't recommend Scott enough! They went above and beyond to ensure my traffic ticket was dismissed. From the beginning, they handled my case with professionalism and determination, never settling for less than the best outcome.
Even after the court clerk made an error inputting my information, Scot didn’t hesitate to step back into action. They returned to court on my behalf, fought tirelessly to address the mistake, and ultimately got the ticket dismissed. Their dedication and persistence are unmatched.
If you're looking for someone who will truly fight for you every step of the way, Scott is the one to call. They made a stressful situation so much easier and delivered fantastic results. Highly recommended!

They took the time to listen to my concerns, explain the legal process in a way that was easy to understand, and provided personalized advice tailored to my situation.

I always felt supported and informed, and their prompt responses to my questions made a significant difference during what could have been a stressful time.
I cannot recommend this law firm enough. Their dedication, knowledge, and genuine care for their clients set them apart from others in the field. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will go above and beyond on your behalf, look no further!

In the beginning, it was great. He was eager to help us and everything seemed to be going well until he signed us up. It took him forever to file the bankruptcy case and repeated emails/calls for status updates were ignored. It's as it was one way communication attorney... he wouldn't respond to any of our requests for updates; he only re-contacted us at the end of the process... not happy with the lack of updates and help after the case was over, but he did win the case in the end.

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?
