Jacqueline was my appointed public defender/attorney by the Superior court of Rancho Cucamonga. I had was charged with violating probation and failure to complete classes , fine , and my outstanding jail time on a previous DUI violation. She actually took the time to go over the details of my case in person and also showed extreme empathy for what I was going through personally .. Jacqueline was able to convey all my positive attributes and actions taken to satisfy my requirements with the court. The Judge reviewed and verified the actions that I took to remedy my outstanding requirements to the court, and ruled my case as fulfilled and completed. I saved approxx 2 k in fines, approx 30 days of weekends jail time, and 2 years probation! I thank you Jacqueline for all your hard work and efforts ! May peace, health, and prosperity always be in abundance to you and your loved ones!

At the capacity of Public Defender, they are commonly referred to as Public Pretenders. With that said, I was apprehensive and did not expect anything except the normal going through the motions for the paycheck. Miss Burgos went above the call of duty and was ready to fight for me all the way to trial. She stuck with my innocence until proven guilty. I was not found guilty nor railroaded with a sham deal. I walked out of the case without a bruise. I would hire her on a heartbeat. She practices law as an experienced top notch lawyer. Extraordinary.

I / we had very efficient and expertly assessed tax returns by Tiffany. (Fed & CA). Very responsive to questions and rationale on form questions, etc. We wanted a CA tax expert to help with our returns, we have been a non resident for many years, but sold a house there... I sense all her efforts are 5-star... Highly recommended!

I found Stone Haven law by doing a google search for best immigration attorneys in the Inland Empire. I was a bit pessimistic as I had tried 2 other firms that failed to meet my needs before going into Stone Haven Law's FREE consultation. From the moment I walked in, the staff was very professional. I worked with Anudeep who was very helpful and knowledgable. After doing some research and speaking to the other attorneys in the firm, I knew they were the ones best fit for my situation and needs. The rates are better and they are more responsive to my situation than other attorneys in the area, really great service.

Anu is a professional who knows everything about BK. In the midst of my case which was filed by another attorney, we ran into some serious problems with a creditor but she knew how to resolve everything in our favor. I wish I had hired Ms. Sethee from the start and avoided all the hassles. I highly recommend Anudeep.

I am extremely satisfied with the service I received from Merritt Law. I had a very serious legal matter that I did not see a way out . Merritt Law helped me solve this matter and helped me learn about my rights. What I like about the firm is when I need someone to talk to, I was not put on hole or told someone would call me back... There was always someone to listen to me which eliminated some of the distress that was upon my life

It wasn't the easiest case either as we had to involve the Child Abduction Unit and Stacey as well as her Assistant Bonnie went above and Beyond. I mean words can not express my gratitude.

I called them the same day and they took on my case immediately. Throughout the whole process they were communicative and on top of everything. I would recommend to everyone and would go back to them again if need be. Thank you to this amazingly firm !

Wow! I can't say enough good things about the Law Offices of Justin King. Attitude starts at the top, & this firm is top tier. They represented me (& yes we won!) for an injury I sustained while riding my motorcycle westbound on the 10. Someone changed lanes without looking, which resulted in a knee injury, a lot of physical therapy, & a totaled motorcycle. I wasn't sure what to do or if this were even something worth pursuing. I found Justin's webpage & sent a quick message to him on a Saturday night then thought nothing of it. My first call from Justin was Sunday morning. I was immediately impressed. After hearing a bit of my story & asking a few questions I was ready to have Justin represent me. My first question was "How much do I need to come up with to get this started? Justin replied, you don't owe anything until we win. Not unless, until. That set the tone of the next 2 years of my life. As your case progresses it'll require work from you & a whole team working to represent you. Staci will call & let you know she's emailing documents that require signatures; Garrett will call to ask for details they need to understand & yes, he will call to remind you that you forgot to sign a document 3 days earlier. These are great people who genuinely care. They will take time to understand your needs & they communicate every step of the way. If you are injured, you need to call Justin & his team right away. You will not be disappointed! Google only allows 5 stars, but these guys deserve 10!

I was involved in my first big automobile accident last year, in Yorba Linda. I was a bit overwhelmed as you can imagine. Friends suggested that I hire an attorney to handle my case and I was not quite sure how to proceed. I was very fortunate when I was referred to Justin King’s office. I met with Mr. King and found him to be very personable and he listened to my concerns. I felt very comfortable and confident that he would help me in getting a fair outcome to my case. I want to also thank Garrett Tuckerman for all he did in keeping me updated with everything going on with my case and for being there whenever I had any questions or concerns. I also want to mention Leoni Barrera who was always pleasant and supportive when I called. I highly recommend The Law Offices of Justin H. King for your personal injury needs. I feel that Mr. King and his whole staff, with their knowledge, expertise and professionalism will help make your experience a less stressful one.

After going through a couple of attorneys and thousands of dollars without any resolution, my confidence in the entire legal system was shaken. It became very clear that most attorneys cared more about making money than helping me-the client- get through a very stressful and life-altering event. I was distraught, until a friend told me about Ms. Kahlon, aka "Neelam," whom he retained in the past. After my intitial consultation with Neelham, my confidence in the legal system was restored! She genuinely listened to me and did not trivialize my concerns as other attorneys have done. After I told Neelam my legal issues, she explained to me -in layman's terms- my options and what she can do to help me. I finally felt I had someone on my side! Neelam exceeded my expectations. My legal troubles were finally resolved in a timely manner with care and compassion. I highly recommend Ms. Kahlon! She is the epitome of what a great attorney should be!

Hired this lawyer years ago and wouldn't recommend her at all. She was a lawyer from another firm at the time but her services was just not on par and worth the money we paid for her representation. She might be ok with the new firm she's with now but the work she did on our case from a previous law firm was just awful.

Ms. Kahlon was very helpful on my divorce case. She was responsive, attentive and kept me informed every step on the way. I didn't think the end result was going to be favorable for me but in the end I was awarded full custody and minimal alimony. Not many fathers can say that. She is the best.

Mr Pratt would never keep anything i told him as his client to himself. He would phone my ex's attorney and tell him everything i had told him confidentially. I stopped informing Mr Pratt of my business and what i was doing. Mr Pratt did not inform me of a court hearing. In turn I was forced by the court to pay my ex's attorney's fees. Mr Pratt allowed my ex to go into his office and Mr Pratt spoke to my ex on more than one occasion about our court case. Mr Pratt said he would do the quadro for my case. The quadro was so poorly and illegally done that it was refused by my retirement company Cal pers. Mr Pratt gave my ex rights to survivorship. He was legally not entitled to that. Also my ex can not leave my retirement to his girlfriend as Mr Pratt stated in the quadro. Not only did he violate my legal rights regarding the quadro, he told the judge that i would pay for the quadro. I never agreed to this. My ex should pay. I was forced to give him half of my retirement. Even though my ex had a retirement fund that he cashed out and spent. I was not awarded any of my ex's retirement. Mr Pratt knew my retirement was going to be held and cut in half. Cal pers notified Mr Pratt of this 9 months before they notified me. He never informed me of this. I bought a home with my current husband. Because he never informed me we lost our home. Im now homeless. My divorce was filed in the wrong county by my ex. Mr Pratt never informed me of this. In turn i spent 10 years trying to get divorced. My ex is a narcissist. He intentionally kept this divorce going, trying to drain me of any money. Mr Pratt would hound me about whatever my ex wanted. Playboy magazines, alimony, my retirement. We actually had a trial for this divorce. We have No young children. I had very limited money. I was in no way well off. I was a state of California employee. Mr Pratt told me the court case was done. But it was not done. I moved out of the state of California. This was the only break i got dealing with this hellish divorce. The state of California could not do anything because i was no longer under their jurisdiction. Mr Pratt refuses to send me the judgement on the case, even though i have paid him every penny i owe him. Im sorry that i had him as my attorney. He has violated the law and violated my rights. I can not afford another attorney. After 10 years of pure hell i just want my judgement and i never want to deal with him, my ex, or the Riverside Family law court again.

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
