I extend my highest commendation for Julian Hubbard to anyone traversing the steep challenges and pain of shattering experiences in marriage and divorce. Julian is more than an exceptional attorney; he is a steadfast ally, a champion for the silenced, and a guiding light in the darkest moments of a person’s divorce journey.
I still remember when I was confronted with a barrage of claims and false accusations. After over a year of grappling with the tumultuous divorce, I came to realize the harshness of the court system due to the lack of understanding and advocacy from my previous counsel.
Upon searching for new representation, my mentor highly encouraged me to contact Julian Hubbard. She said, “Julian is the attorney you want by your side.” And, she was so right!!!!!
Since meeting Julian, he has stood by me and guided me not only toward healing and clarity. His profound insight into the labyrinthine nature of the law and and severe stress of divorce, coupled with his unwavering commitment to ensure my narrative was not only heard but also respected, was nothing short of transformative. Julian’s guidance was delivered with a rare blend of compassion and expertise, providing a lifeline that steered me through the legal maelstrom with dignity and strength.
If you find yourself in a similar situation like mine or searching for an exceptional attorney, look no further and contact Julian Hubbard!
Trust me, by hiring Julian you will stop wasting your time, and money, and get the representation you and your family deserve.

I used Falk Barrot to prepare a restatement of my Trust in 2018, and again in January 2024 for an Amendment. In both cases my experience exceeded expectations, and I would without hesitation encourage you to retain the services of Kim Barrot if you have similar needs, or any needs, related to the preparation of Living Trust Services.

Lawyer's Title is the best. Ron Dechaine, Melisa Lozano and Neil Nunes and of course Carey Gorgolinski are extremely professional. The communication and updates are timely and frequent. When a contract comes in with a title company other than Lawyer's Title, we cringe. Every transaction we have done with Lawyer's Title-San Carlos has been quick to close and very smooth. When there is a hiccup with a lender or other issue, Ron and his team are quick to react and notify us immediately. Talk about white glove service. Highly recommend Ron DeChaine and his wonderful team. Keep up the great work!

We were referred to Arman Tasheneff by a mutual friend from Kazakhstan, the same country that Mr. Tasheneff is from for a corporate formation in Kazakhstan and legal advice related to import and export business in his homeland. We were impressed that he graduated from a good law school, but were surprised that he was not with a reputable firm as is typical for first year lawyers. We soon realized that Mr. Tasheneff has a strong speech impediment, and is unable to communicate. Although we are sympathetic to his illness and admire his achievement, we had a difficult time speaking, and his communication via email was generally clear but irregular. We thought that he was effective in organizing the corporation, but lacked in practical legal knowledge, and was very student-like in his approach to our immediate needs. We think that although his skills are highly limited and hourly rates too high, he will become a good corporate lawyer in the future. For now, we would not hire him again until he matures as an attorney.

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.

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.

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.

The payment structure is often discussed during an initial consultation so you can choose the one that best suits your business needs and budget.

- 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.
