I was referred to Bill Simon by a doctor in Charlotte, NC that had used Bill's legal services for his business in San Diego. He was extremely pleased with the legal work that Bill had done for his business.
I originally had another attorney handling the settlement of an estate that I am the executor of. That attorney did not understand the Trust, so I was getting very concerned and nervous about my involvement as the executor from a legal stand point. I took the Trust and Will to The San Diego Law Firm and within twenty minutes Bill Simon had explained the Trust and Will to me. He assured me that he could execute the Trust and Will the way that it was intended. Bill's knowledge and skill was very impressive.
Bill had his team ready to start the execution of the Trust and Will. They were professional and knowledgeable with every step that was taken. They worked with the heirs and kept an excellent relationship with everyone involved.
The estate went into Probate, so Bill and his team handled it from start to finish with no hassles for me. They managed the funds and every situation that came up with skill and an impressive knowledge base. I totally trusted Bill Simon with handling everything involved in closing the estate. I'm usually not that trusting, but the integrity of Bill is beyond comparison.
I let Bill and his team do what was required without me micro managing everything. I never had to question anything that they did. I could not be happier with their treatment of me and the handling of the estate.
Bill Simon is my attorney for life. As far as I'm concerned Bill Simon is the best attorney to handle all of my requirements. I highly recommend him to everyone. Bill Simon is currently handling another legal problem for me concerning a serious situation with a building contractor. I am so confident in Bill's ability to handle this legal matter, that my personal feeling is that I will have a good resolution. Bill Simon is without a doubt the best attorney in California. I sincerely believe that you have made the right choice when you use Bill.

Bill Simon and John Masnica over at San Diego Law Firm are a pleasure to work with - they set us up on a fixed fee monthly plan that our tech startup could afford. They competently got us set up with our Corporation filing papers, logo trademark, service agreements, etc. We're now working on several other projects that are protecting and improving our business equity. Very good communication and it's nice not being charged $100 for each email communication like most attorneys do. Highly recommend Bill Simon and the team at SDLF.

After 25 years of no child support payments, Tim Kindelan successful brought me a check totalling back support, interest, penalties and lawyer fees. This was not an easy task. He succeeded where others had failed.
Mr. Kindelan came to my aid recently when my landlord locked me out of my business illegally. In need of immediate help, he succeeded in getting the doors unlocked, a new key handed to me and my landlord set right. He was aggressively respectful and handled the situation flawlessly.
Tim Kindelan is a man of honor. I have known him for years on a professional level and he has continued to maintain his integrity and skillfully bring me the results I have wanted. That certainly has not been true of other lawyers I have hired in the past.
I highly recommend Tim Kindelan if you are in need of legal advice or help.

Even though we were on other ends of the state, Daniel went out of his way to find me providers to get me quality care and make sure all of my concerns were heard and documented. Daniel consistently checked in on me and gave me timely updates. He got me a settlement that I was very happy with and I'm glad to have been able to work with him. Very easy to work with and I'd highly recommend his services!

I had the pleasure of having Daniel as my attorney. I found him by using google maps. No recommendations, nothing. My first call was after 7pm, my only time available. I got his voicemail, was not surprised. Left a message. Expected nothing. Less than 2 minutes later he called me. Impressed is understatement. He walked me through everything, no hidden agenda. I am now pain free from my injuries, all because of Daniel.

I am SO GRATEFUL to the team of professionals of this law firm, who possess a rare blend of expertise, empathy, and resilience. I had the privilege to meet a majority of people in the office and felt their care and wonderful human qualities. Kathy is an amazing administrator!
Paul Jonna and Robert Weisenburger handled my case from the beginning to the end with exceptional professionalism and unwavering integrity. They are skilled negotiators and effectively vindicated my cause against an international corporation that discriminated against me. Grounded in traditional values, they project honesty, trustworthiness, and reliability, putting a client at ease in stressful situations. They were very patient with my strong accent and limited English, explaining complex legal concepts in simple terms. Their humble attitude helped me to relate to them and establish a strong working relationship.
Paul’s leadership skills, a fierce commitment to justice and stellar responsiveness provided a steady ground for Robert and I to work on multiple details of my case.
Robert has amazing analytical skills, a sharp eye for important nuances in multiple pages of paperwork and counseling skills. He is kind, supportive and patient. It was a blessing for me to work with him even on tedious stages of paperwork preparation, a stressful 9-hours Deposition and a scrupulous Mediation process. He exercised his personal faith to support me during this long legal process.
My words are not enough to express my very positive experience in my legal battle.

We hired her to assist with a real estate transaction. Complaints- she had difficulty filing important legal documents by the deadlines. She never kept us informed as to the status on the case. She lied on many occasions regarding documents filed. She was also extremely difficult to get a hold of if we needed to send her important information. She told us she had over 20 years of experience working on real estate transactions- due to the poor quality of her work, this is hard to believe (numerous grammatical errors in documents and we had to tell her the facts of the case over and over again). Many times it seemed that she did not know what she was doing. We were very disappointed with her work.

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.
