I am very happy with the service that was provided by Raymund Robles. He came highly recommended by a friend. Ray is precise, professional and reliable. He clearly explained the situation I was in and what my best option was to resolve it. He laid out a strategic strategy and executed it thoroughly. He eventually got my case thrown out and closed. Throughout the whole process the communication was excellent, the case was handled professionally with care and the final result was what I was wishing for. Thank you very much for your help.

If you have any kind of personal injury claim in California, individually or as part of a class, you need to hire Chris and Kevin Moon. It's that simple.
As a business and employment litigation attorney for both plaintiffs and defendants with more than 70 jury trials under my belt, I know the difference between "litigators" and real trial attorneys. The former are all too common in our profession, adept only at pushing paper, filing motions, and acting like keyboard warriors. But when cases fail to settle and trial looms, those kinds of lawyers find themselves staring into an abyss. They then either fold by unfairly compromising their client's case to avoid exposing their lack of trial experience, or stumble through trial with disastrous consequences.
Real trial lawyers, on the other hand, can take any case to the mat and win. They don't bluff, because they don't need to. Not only does this achieve better settlements for their clients, but if the case cannot settle these trial lawyers actually win. Chris and Kevin Moon are both real trial lawyers, and excellent ones at that. They are both tenacious, brilliant and powerfully effective. I know this because I have worked with them both, and have seen their skill and dedication first-hand. Whenever someone calls me with a personal injury matter, I immediately refer them to Chris and Kevin. Even more, they are the lawyers I would want to represent me if I was ever injured.
If you are potential client, call them! If you are a defendant on the other side of a case from them, be afraid. Be VERY afraid.

I have the best experience working with Bay Legal. I was running into a real estate issue and wanted to get my deposit back. Bay Legal sent a very well written notice to the other party, and the other party promptly compiled and returned deposit within few hours. Bay Legal understood very all the documents I sent them, and quickly started working on my case. Thanks.

I have worked with Chris Moon for many years and he always given me amazing legal advice. Most recently, Chris helped me with a thorny legal issue. After a short consultation, the matter was resolved relatively quickly, which I really appreciated. The Moon brothers are extremely smart and easy to talk to, which is why I have referred many family and friends to them.

Steve Gerrish was exactly the guy I needed when I negotiated my employment contract at the sale of my company. He had a framework of reasonable and customary terms, but he was completely open to my idiosyncratic preferences. I may have imagined it, but I felt that he absolutely understood what I wanted to accomplish, and (conversely) what I did not care about at all.
He was clear and responsive when I was drafting and negotiating the contract, and he was ready and alert when the provisions were unexpectedly triggered.

He represented me in a trial-like arbitration setting in 2000. He was well prepared and did an excellent job presenting a complex case. We prevailed on every count and were awarded our fees. Since then he has become my adviser on various partnership and HR matters. He is generous with his time, offers concise, practical answers and is very fair when it comes to billing. Steve has a great deal of personal integrity. Ethical behavior comes naturally to him. His advice has helped me avoid numerous problems over the years.

I was recommended to Jon by a friend in seek of a lawyer who could help me establish my business partnership. It was very important for me to be represented by someone who understood the tone of terms I was looking to create in the contract. I wanted to be represented well and also keep a peaceful negotiation between my future business partner and I.
Jon was amazing in hearing my concerns and providing the right steps, guidance and legal stance for me to move forward confidently and propose my terms for the business partnership. He found a lot of loop holes in our partnership agreement that would have greatly worked against me and was able to provide the solution. He explained to me how everything works so that I could understand for myself and was empowered in my position.
I am very grateful for Jon because without him, I would have been committing to an unfavorable situation. With him, I gained confidence and security as a business woman. I will continue to use him in my future endeavors and have been recommending him to friends and family!

Jeff recently helped us set up an LLC and investigate other legal matters involved in protecting our small business from liability. He is an absolute pleasure to work with, is honest and upfront about time and cost and clearly explains legal mumbo jumbo in ways that we are able to easily understand. He is very knowledgeable about business law and if there are specific issues that fall outside of his expertise he has a large network to consult. I would highly recommend Jeff as an excellent small business lawyer.

I have a boutique Interior and Event Design Business. I've had a few projects here and there each year, but now that my friends have started to refer my services to more people that I didn't have personal relationships with, I started to worry about the contract language that I had piecemeal together through NOLO.
I knew that it was time to get serious about protecting myself. I thought. "How can I expect new clients to take me seriously if I don't have a serious contract?" Jeff Miller was referred to me by a friend and I couldn't be happier with his services. He reviewed my contract within the time frame agreed upon. He really cared about my business and crafted a contract that suited my needs (not a rushed generic contract), and he was willing to answer all of my million questions to put my mind at ease. His knowledgeable and charismatic nature really helped calm my nerves. I very much appreciated being treated like family, which is the way that I treat my clients. He really knows his stuff. I'd refer him over and over again!

Mr. Holland is one of the brightest professionals that I've met in business today. Maybe I'm biased because I was referred by very good friend, however, I highly recommend him. I felt he always had my best interest in mind in all stages of my suit and in the end, what he foresaw came true to my relief. He is very knowledgeable in other areas besides Intellectual Property.

I was referred over to Daniel by another lawyer who I had working on a separate project in regards to some trademark/copywright questions I had. Daniel, was super responsive and gave me multiple different options for accomplishing what I was trying to do for minimal to no cost on my own. Super refreshing to work with a lawyer who is genuinely concerned with the best interest of the client instead of just making a buck. Will definitely use again!

I've known dozens of lawyers over the years and met Sam through a friend's introduction. He was said to he the best young and hungry and knew all the VCs and could help me in ways that they all say they can. And yes he got me connected to investors and yes he's a lawyer. But the one thing about him that I'll always appreciate is that he had my back when it was up against a wall.

I really don't want to sound fake. Matthew and his team are superb. They helped me when I lost my job last year and they didn't charge a penny. I was so thankful and happy with their advice that I retained him as my immigration lawyer. Since then I have gone through the GC process almost so smoothly that I have started to wonder why people complain so much. Only I-485 left and I'll be done with this process!

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.
