Hired her to litigate a business dispute. She did everything right. Agressive, tireless in pretrial matters, and hit a home run at trial. Could not ask for more.

As an in-house attorney, I have hired Jon as outside counsel on numerous litigation matters. His approach is to get the best result at the lowest cost and he excels at discussing available options, costs and likely outcomes. In fact, i liked his approach so much I hired him for two personal matters, both of which he brought to successful conclusions for me. Highly recommend.

Mr. Song handled a business litigation matter for me. I was impressed by the fact that he was able to persuade my CGL carrier to accept coverage of the lawsuit where my company was named as a defendant.

I had an a very old consumer debt that was snowballing. The company had gotten a judgement behind my back without even subpoenaing me to court. I felt powerless to fight back since they had obtained a judgment and a lien on my house already.
When they levied my bank account I began searching for legal help by getting the free initial consultations . Laila Thompson was the only attorney who asked me which state I resided in when I originally opened my credit card. She said that the collection company had sued me in the wrong state and that was a violation of federal consumer protection laws. They would actually have to pay me a settlement fee and waive the judgment! It sounds to good to be true but that's the difference between having an attorney actually fight for you and having one who only wants to profit. Laila's fees were also less than a third of what the other attorney had quoted me. The other attorney I met befor I decided to hire Laila, had been more interested in padding his pockets and also had some shiesty additional reoccuring monthly fees which made me worry he would never settle my case in order to keep my money rolling in every month! I was so discouraged after speaking with him but then I found Laila Thompson. She kept me informed during the process and was extremely accessible. She called me once to tell me the collection agency had agreed to waive the judgement and walk away, but she felt she could fight a little more and make the collection agency pay me the settlement due to me under federal law in order to help cover my legal fees. She informed me that the option was mine, but she would keep fighting with my permission. It was truly an amazing experience. I would absolutely recommend her 100%.

Absolutely fantastic personal injury attorney! It took some time to settle my case but was well worth the patience. Mike was my attorney and fought hard for my case to be settled at the amount it deserved. Would happily recommend them to anyone who has been injured in an accident!

I already knew about WCTL through a Facebook group that educates Uber and Lyft drivers of LA about what coverages we have, rights, & more. I have to say I was clueless before, but if I ever needed someone to represent me I knew that I would call them. Just recently I got into an accident with a PAX and called them onsite & they brought me in and got started immediately. I'm currently in treatment & my car (which is my livlihood) is being repaired as we speak and i'm amazed by the service from all parts. Thank you Allen and Neama for showing your credibility on and offline!!

I was hit by a truck on the freeway a couple months ago. It was miserable. My car was ruined and my back was cuasing me painful spasms. I was very scared of having to hire a lawyer but did a quick google search for best truck accident lawyers. So glad I found these guys! They made everything so easy and never made me feel pressure. I can’t thank these guys enough for taking care of me. I’m also very happy with my settlement!

I suffered a dog bite that could have ended much worse than it did and left me with a scar. I had no insurance at the time and ended up with costly ER bills. I contacted John as I had no idea how to handle this complicated situation on my own. From day one, John was empathetic and reassuring that he'd do his best to help find a proper resolution. From my experience, I can tell he genuinely cares about the well-being of his clients. He was always ready to answer calls and kept me up to date during very complicated times. We recently wrapped up the situation and he was able to reach a resolution that we were both comfortable with. I really can't recommend John enough. If you ever find yourself in such an unfavorable situation as I did, reach out to John.

My wife suffered a traumatic incident in which a neighbor's pit bull dog killed our dog while she was on a walk and pushing our 1 year old in a stroller. We later came to learn that the pit bull dog had attacked another family that same day causing serious injuries. It was truly a horrific time for us not knowing if or how we could ever recover from this event. With John's help, we were able to pursue and ultimately reach a settlement with the homeowner's insurance company for our loss and suffering. John also helped me get the word out to the community, joining me at a neighborhood meeting that was organized to address concerns with dog attacks in the area. John is a true professional. He knows the law and he understands the process by which matters such as ours are resolved. This was tremendously valuable to us. John is honest, diligent, and forthcoming with his opinions yet maintains a steady and remarkable composure when dealing with a case. I am truly grateful that we found John to help us out.

Fielding Law, APC, is a law firm that truly cares! Their professionalism and results-driven approach set them apart. Simply excellent!" From the initial consultation, I felt a great sense of relief in the way that information was conveyed to me, as well as the questions asked. Everything was clear and concise; and if the person I was speaking with didn’t have the answer, they got it for me elsewhere. Each call or text sent, to EACH team member working on my trip and fall case, was expedient!! From start to finish, my attorney Ryan Cooper was prompt with his responses and left no stone unturned. His strategic approach played a pivotal role in securing a successful outcome and I couldn’t be happier!! Yayeee!!

As a real estate investor and licensed broker, I constantly use services from various attorneys based on their expertise. 3 months ago one of my clients encountered a problem acquiring a loan very close to the close of escrow. The owner of the property agreed to finance and carry the loan which required all documentation to be drafted and processed on an expedited manner. I hired Nema Daghbandan to handle the transaction and I am glad I did. He is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys I have ever worked with in handling such transactions. Nema was a pleasure to work with, kept me informed throughout the transaction, handled all communications with the escrow, and didn't send me a bill for every minute a sought his advice. I strongly recommend Nema to anyone that requires attorney service in owner financing situations.

Questions about compliance come up frequently, and I appreciate that when I call Nema, he almost always takes my call live.

I've personally dealt with dozens of attorneys over the past 10 years for various real estate and finance transactions. In that time I've come up with no more than a handful of attorneys that I truly trust to handle my matters appropriately, in a timely fashion, and at a reasonable cost. Nema and is firm are one of a select group that I feel comfortable leaving in charge of a matter and I know that I can count on him to take care of things in a way that will make sense to me and my business. In the past 12 months I've actually parted ways with other attorneys and given the business to Nema.
It's difficult to find an attorney that you can confidently say always has your best interest in mind. I definitely feel that I've found one in Nema.

I cannot recommend Eric Young highly enough! When I found myself facing a lemon lawsuit, I was overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. From our very first meeting, Eric put me at ease with his extensive knowledge and professionalism. He took the time to understand my situation, thoroughly explaining the process and setting realistic expectations.
Throughout the entire case, Eric was incredibly responsive and attentive, always keeping me informed and answering my countless questions. His strategic approach and meticulous attention to detail made all the difference. I felt confident that my case was in the hands of a true expert.
Eric's dedication and expertise were instrumental in achieving this outcome we wanted. He fought for my rights and secured the justice I deserved.
If you’re looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares about their clients and delivers results, look no further than Eric Young. He is simply outstanding!

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.

Christian is the best fit for you if you are looking for a criminal defense attorney. The prosecutor bullied me 12!!! courts simply because I had a public defender. I was facing a lot of trouble, but an acquaintance recommended him. Christian's strategic recommendation turned the tide in my case. He studied the case and said that my case was 100% winnable. I trusted him, and this is the result. Today, I was cleared of all charges. Thank you so much, Christian. I will recommend you to anyone who is in trouble.

We had a fantastic experience working with Beatrice Phan Law for updating our family living trust. We had created, revised, and updated our trust over the past several years with three other estate attorneys previously, and I can say with certainty that Beatrice Phan Law provided the BEST and most thorough service and planning of them all. We especially enjoyed working with her client services director, Helen Pak, who is AMAZING-- exceptional listener, very attentive and thorough, warm and friendly, professional and kind...all at the same time. Beatrice has a clear process that she follows for her clients, which I appreciate. It's something that doesn't happen overnight, nor should it: creating or updating your trust is an important step in taking care of your family and loved ones, so it does require a lot of thought and time, especially if you need to have those deeper conversations with your spouse about things. Beatrice and Helen were great in working with our busy schedules as well as keeping us accountable and reminded of the upcoming follow-up appointments we had together. We greatly appreciate all that Beatrice and Helen have done in bringing us peace of mind and taking care of us.

Beatrice Phan and her legal assistant, Helen Pak, prepared my estate documents (trust, will, POA, etc). The whole process was "painless". I will use them in the future as needed and I recommend them to anyone needing estate legal planning services.

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.
