I received a sizable award from a personal injury lawsuit against my neighbors. These people were extremely dishonest and tried everything to avoid paying the judgment including and a sham divorce and fraudulent home ownership transfer. Tim Krantz was able to obtain a reasonable settlement and more importantly force these horrible people to move. I’m very appreciative of Tim’s diligence and extremely pleased that we can finally once again enjoy our property.

Tim did an excellent job in collecting on a rather large judgment from a defendant who was very evasive. He was willing to take on a case that other attorneys declined to take on. His perseverance and experience in enforcing judgments truly paid off.

As our small business grew, we could no longer afford to risk it with oral agreements and it became necessary to sign a contract before beginning any project. Business attorney Keith Salek helped protect our company from liability with a properly drafted lawyer reviewed contract. Now before signing any business agreement, we have an attorney at Salek Law Firm look it over.

Our construction company ran into difficulty obtaining payment for work performed on a real estate improvement project. We had invested in labor and materials, performed the work as specified and could not afford to wait any longer to be paid, so we contacted a construction lawyer. Keith Salek helped us file a mechanics lien for non-payment. We were able to obtain the full amount due as well as recover legal costs. Now our company uses Salek Law Firm for all of our construction contract preparation to ensure that we are protected by every contract we sign.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about the Bond Legal Team. I was privileged to have Tess Van Duyne as my Attorney and she truly went above and beyond for me and my case. Being in an accident, not having any knowledge of what to do, her and her team walked me through everything and I always felt I was in the best hands. At the end of my case when a settlement was finalized it was beyond evident I was in the best hands. If you're looking for a firm that truly cares for you and will go above and beyond to fight for you this is it. Thank you Bond Legal for everything!

Christian is the BEST attorney! He provided me a clear explanation of my case which made it less stressful in the beginning. He is understanding and supportive. There was no problem reaching him at any time of the day. He was transparent since the day I met him and that’s an important factor when choosing the right attorney. He will make sure you have everything you need even before the judge will ask for it. He made me feel ready at every hearing. He has plenty of experience at what he does. He will fight for you every step of the way. I definitely recommend him! You will not regret it one bit. He deserves more than a 5 stars with the effort he has put into my case. Thank you for your time and service, Christian. It was a pleasure working with you.

Kay Jafari is one of the most honest and trustworthy men I have ever had the privilege of doing business with. I was drawn into civil litigation, because of the actions of an ex-wife. Although I had no personal knowledge of her actions, her conduct resulted in civil action against me, by a private company, and the threat of civil action, by the US Attorney's Office. Kay's expert knowledge of the law, and ability to negotiate on my behalf, resulted in the company dropping their case and the US Attorney never proceeding with theirs. I highly recommend Kay and his law firm. Their fees are reasonable and you get actual results for your money. I would not hesitate to hire Kay again!

From his knowledge of the law, to his strategic approach to solving my legal problems to his patience and compassion. I recommend him wholeheartedly!

Dave is a skilled writer and tactician who knows how to manage highly complex issues. He was able to get a serious employment case dismissed, while also negotiating a number of contracts to help me acquire a local company. He has a diverse knowledge of the law and how to get the most out of your investment.

I recently worked with Dave when my company invested in a growing startup he was representing. I just came across his Avvo profile and thought I should lend my thoughts to those out there looking for counsel. I found him to be very thoughtful in what he says, a really fun and easy going guy to be around, and highly creative in the solutions he offers for complex problems. He was certainly more valuable to the deal than my own attorneys, and found some interesting, yet highly effective ways to close the transaction. After seeing how he negotiated with my "big law firm" in the days leading to our closing, I will certainly be calling him the next time I need some help. He is definitely not a "formal" lawyer, so if that is something you need then maybe he isn't the right guy for you, but I personally enjoyed his progressive approach to legal representation.

David has helped me settle 2 cases for pennies on the dollar. He has also negotiated commercial and real estate leases, and managed countless contracts on my company's behalf. He is a skilled strategist, and well versed in both litigation and corporate matters. A great option if you are looking for an attorney with significant knowledge in multiple disciplines who can give you top-tier representation at a fair price.

I was referred to Shin Law Group and Jonathan through a family member that was actually sued by his group due to a car accident (they got 25k for a SCRATCH against my family member) and boy am I happy to say, that things were as smooth as they come using their firm. From personal experience handling a car accident ESPECIALLY against a driver who has no insurance or minimum insurance, I can't recommend getting a lawyer enough. And what a team Shin Law Group has. From quick referrals to chiropractors and other forms of pain management, quick responses by phone and a clear explanation of how things go down after an accident with insurance, look no further than Shin Law Group. I will be definitely coming back in the future if I am in need of a lawyer in a field that they specialize in.

Jonathan and Kim have been handling my case since my initial injury, and their expertise and dedication were key to securing a higher than expected final payout. Their strategy throughout the process was excellent, and they stand out as some of the best in the industry, not just for their results but also for their professionalism and integrity. The best thing you can do to help your case is to follow their instructions exactly and give them as much time as they need.

I was rear ended back in October 23 and immediately searched for an attorney from a car enthusiast group and was recommended Jonathan from several people. This is the first time I had been in an accident but I already knew I didn't want to deal with insurance or the other party. Jonathan gave me a call the next day and explained the complete process. He was able to secure a great settlement but the best part was his office was always available for questions when I had them. I highly recommend Jonathan and his team whenever you get into an auto accident!

I sought consultation with Peter Sahin because of the strong recommendation he received from a lawyer friend with a top Newport Beach real estate firm. My case involved the hijacking of my father's Trust, elder abuse, and theft. Mr. Sahin was an attentive listener, and he provided a wealth of information. He reviewed legal documents and provided clear and specific options. Sahin was warm, engaging, and clearly a strong advocate for my interests, as well as being highly ethical. Overall, my experience (two in-depth conversations) confirmed the very high marks my friend had given him and the Velasco Law Group.

I used Peter Sahin to help me start a real estate partnership and LLC with another person. I started having difficulty with my potential partner when writing up the terms of our business, and Peter was by my side every step of the way. Peter was very responsive to my questions and helped educate me on real estate law. He gave me direction to create my own real estate LLC alone, and has been with me every step of the way for the last year. I would highly recommend Peter for his honest, straight-talking, and thorough manner.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses.

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.

- 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.
