Mr. Li's firm represented me in my L1 case. The case was quite complicated and we did rounds of back and forth with the USCIS. At the end, I was pleased with the outcome and happy with the firm. I would recommend their firm to my friends and family. They are really good at what they do and they are very responsive to their clients.

After 2 years of fighting a trade secret infringement case we had a major victory against our competitor as we fenced off their claims. Li was very professional and prompt, knowledgeable and handle my case with uppermost concern. He is very responsive, he walk me through the legal process and pick up my calls all the time and return my calls right away, even during the weekend. I done business with other downtown LA firms in the past, and Mr. Li’s charge is very reasonable. He understand our needs for budgeting so whenever he discuss the legal options with us, he will do a cost-effective analysis and make sure we made the move that is legally right and within our budget. Honestly, I couldn’t ask for a better lawyer and I would strongly recommend him to my peers.

Mr. Li first handled a contract matter for my business and afterward became the general counsel for my company. As my company expands oversea, from time to time, I had couple questions that had to do with cross-boarder legal issues and I wanted to know if I was crossing any line with what I wanted to do and Mr. Li always gave me very solid advice. I worked with two other attorneys in the past and Mr. Li is very reasonable with his billing. I highly suggest you give Mr. Li a call if you have any question. If anything, I know Mr. Li got my back.

after spending 2 years and $25,000 I ran out of money . Had to hire a lawyer as I was being dragged to court again for ridiculous charges . I hired attorney Cyrus prior to another forced court hearing having nothing to do with a settlement . He connected with the opposing parties associate attorney and cut a settlement before court but X refused . We went to court and the Judge knew immediately Atty Cyrus was well educated and his goal was getting a settlement and not wasting the courts time . The judge set mediation and in 30 days we were in mediation . The mediator was impressed with his knowledge and skills . He prepared me telling me we had to possibly do more then what we offer . 3 hours later and 60 days from the time I hired him we had a settle agreement signed with no spousal support and reasonable terms . I have more the 30 years experience in business and have to say he is one of the best tell me like it is lawyer I have met . He will not paint a ridiculous picture of how you can win or ask for any of the forensic accounting ,specialist business ,appraisers etc the $390 /hr lawyers will tell you have to have . I can not say enough about his knowledge of the lawy, the judges, courts ,honesty and sincerest in getting the job done .

Cyrus represented my family in a difficult lawsuit. His expertise and sound judgement helped us see a clear path to resolving the lawsuit when emotions were running high. Cyrus is kind and patient, but knows when and how to strategically turn up the heat on the opposing party, without loosing his cool. Smart work, strategic actions, and sensitive to all situations.

In a very challenging case with my homeowner's association Attorney Cyrus Lam was of great support. Not only did he provide me with excellent guidance through the process of deciding what action would serve me best, he was highly compassionate, and highly knowledgeable about the unique nuances of my case. I could not have asked for a better attorney or for a better solution to my situation. I look forward to working with him again in the future on other legal matters.

Hi I was referred by one of my friend. My family also heard from her friends about yang law offices. They’re great they do answer calls. And respond quickly.
I filed a divorce settlement with my spouse and Karin the attorney she’s very fast and they the job done. Our case was very simple not too complicated. Our marriage we couldn’t work it out too much disagreement and argument in front of child.
But I thank the staff the attorney and the team for every questions, emails, and calls they have put a lot on their time we didn’t spend too much.
Be mindful: each email and calls they will charge so please think twice your question or don’t complain and start writing the company bad review for no reason. Attorneys are very expensive you need to know what you’re doing and how to ask them questions to get what you want.
Thank you I have referred some customers 😊.

BEWARE!! Complete incompetence. If there was a -1 star rating, it would be them. Good reviews must have been bought ~ don't believe them. Zero regard for the client. Gave me the run around for 5 months & achieved nothing but charged & charged & gave no breakdown of what I was paying for. Sadly, I was desperate for assistance & trusted the wrong people. Complete waste of time & money. Nothing but frustration & stress.

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.
