Linda Allen helped me through the whole process of getting my US Citizenship. I really appreciated that she responded to my questions and calls within an hour. The whole process lasted only 5 months and it went very smoothly, thanks to Linda. Her fees for obtaining the US Citizenship are very reasonable compared to several lawyers in the same neighborhood. I highly recommend Linda, she is very knowledgeable and her style of communication and problem solving is first class.

Linda is a very competent lawyer. If she does not have an information right on hand she will do due diligence to provide the client what he /she needs. For instance, she knew the key details of the law in my state (TX) and knew exactly what to do to speed up my process. I was very pleased to see the outcome after a few months for a process that usually takes a couple of years of more. She is very efficient and effective. I would strongly recommend working with her.

As I have moved through business life, I've had the need (fortunately or not) to need the legal advice of various specialties. Tim is one of those incredibly knowledgeable and strangely practical attorneys that will let you know when to go for the throat, when to lay down and when to just negotiate an amicable resolution. He is thorough with his analysis of the situation and always has a strategy to suggest with multiple outcomes. I would absolutely recommend Tim and his team to my closest friends (though I wish for them. It to need him). Thank you Tim.

As a small business owner it is crucial to have a relationship with an attorney who has the right combination of experience, integrity and knowledge. Based on my involvements with Cathy Kazemi, I can confidently label her as an outstanding all-around lawyer. Our business has had a couple of unfortunate cases come our way over the past few years in which we were required to solicit the services of a legal professional. In the past we tried out a few local attorneys and experienced disastrous results. It seemed that they barely even lifted a figure to help us despite charging outrageous amounts of money. Then I was finally referred to Mrs. Kazemi from another client, and upon seeking her services I was immediately impressed by her passion and dedication towards helping us achieve our goals. One particular aspect of our relationship with her that we particularly appreciate is that she is an excellent communicator. She is always willing to go out of her way to explain what is going on with the status of our case, and what options may be available to our party at any given time. If you are seeking an attorney who possesses a genuine and straightforward personality and will never nickel & dime you, then look no further.

We are a very small business that doesn't make a whole lot of money, a large competitor decided to infiltrate our company, steal trade secrets, slander us online and file a frivolous suit against us. We hired an attorney that did a lot of damage to our case and ran our bill up to around $40,000. 90% of it for unnecessary research and communications (mainly with us over billing). We ran asap and were lucky enough to find Ms. Kazemi. She repaired the serious mistakes in our case unbelievably fast when time was running out, and has been extremely fair and understanding regarding cost. We could not ask for a better attorney. She saved us from going completely out of business and has fought hard for us, negotiated well, always communicated with us to tell us what's gone on and really listened to us when we had questions or explanations about anything. I recommend her to anybody that wants a real, honest, hard working attorney that knows how to fight for what is right. They are so hard to find and we are very lucky to have her as our counsel.

Attorney Stormoen is one of the smartest attorneys I know. I have watched him spot issues and solve major problems instantaneously. It's amazing and the one thing you want when it comes to dealing with legal transactions. The other thing about Attorney Stormoen is he is literally mesmerizing at trial. He is so articulate when he explains the law yet so passionate when he draws out the facts to bring some emotion into the case for the jury. I have watched the jury glued to his openings, closings, direct and cross exams at trial. They are paying attention to his every word and because of that, he is very very successful litigator. You cannot go wrong with Attorney Stormoen!

We hired Ron Stormoen to help in a lawsuit in which my previous employers of 30 years were essentially trying to seize our retirement by reneging on the ownership they promised us early in the relationship. It was extremely important to us to receive justice and this money we had earned over our careers. Ron had faith in us and took our case. He smartly and successfully litigated our case and the jury found 12-0 verdicts in our favor on almost all questions. We won both the breach of contract cause of action as well as the intentional misrepresentation fraud case. I wish this had never turned into a lawsuit, but in the end I was extremely satisfied with the results. In addition, all throughout the case, Ron showed integrity and a commitment to the truth – he never was deceitful and played by the rules. While it is extremely satisfying to win, it is even better to do so without compromising ones’ ethics. I would hire Ron again (although I hope I never have to.) Good luck in your pursuit for justice!

Ross was assigned to our case which was a suit filed by a large and ruthless firm like most in Los Angeles. Ross was extremely personable and was able to provide us immediate guidance and advisement on all aspects of our case. It was immediately clear that this young man had a passion for the law and a sincere desire to pursue justice for his clients. His honesty, professionalism, and integrity were prevalent throughout the entire six-month process. Ross was also impressive in his tenaciousness and presence during the many court hearings, which we were successful each and every time. The case never reached court and was eventually negotiated and settled to our satisfaction. Ross Poole is not just a welcome addition to the law profession he is also an impressive young man, a rising star!

Anton's office did a fantastic job handling my case, reaching out to both myself and the other party proactively and consistently throughout. He prioritized getting the divorce case handled without costly back and forth, and was able to come in significantly under budget. I will be recommending him to others without any reservations whatsoever. Thanks again Anton and Emilia!

Melissa assisted my husband and me with some complex items of a property lease agreement. It was very clear that Melissa is adept in contract law. Her communication and timeliness were stellar, and the issues that she identified and helped us successfully negotiate literally saved us from significant problems down the road. I would and will hire Melissa again in the future.

Froman Law Firm guided me through a significant change in my immigration status, a process that spanned many years. From the very begining, David and his associates and staff were responsive and attentive. I live in Missouri and was still able to meet with David as well and correspond easily by phone and/or email. David's responses were always timely. Because of his vast knowledge and expertise with immigration law, David prepared me for every step of the process and advised me on what to anticipate. I am truly grateful for David's expertise, proficiency and accessibility and would highly reccommend him. Thank you David for facilitating a life-changing situation for me! KC - Missouri

Before I contacted David Froman, my green card application, over a ten year period, was rejected three times, and my several prior appeals were also denied. David was very meticulous and thorough in preparing my case, and articulated the same very nicely, which resulted in the approval of my case. David has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the immigration law, and he is very professional in his approach. I would highly recommend Froman Law Firm for all immigration matters.

My business partners and I had been investing in real estate for several years when we decided to expand the business by raising equity from investors. One of my former classmates from The Wharton School referred me to Aman. Aman helped us structure and form our new management company as well as a new private equity fund. Aman did an excellent job of navigating us through the process and potential pitfalls involved in raising money from third party investors. He drafted an operating agreement for our management company, a private placement memorandum and limited partnership agreement for the new fund and reviewed our marketing materials to ensure that they were compliant with securities laws. The offering documents Aman prepared were extremely thorough and covered a number of issues that we had not previously considered. Additionally, the documents were very professional in appearance, which has given our investors an added level of comfort with our fund. I would recommend Aman to anybody seeking a transactional attorney.

Aman advised me on choice of entity options (LLC, S-Corp, Corp) for incorporating my startup. He was very thorough, but more importantly, he was able to clearly and concisely explain every option and implications for taxation, future fundraising, shareholders, etc. He is very personable and patient, and I highly recommend Aman for any business related legal counsel.

We highly recommend Mr. Pejman Kharrazian. He is an honest, very smart, and caring attorney for our HOA in Orange County, CA. He stands up for people who can't stand up for themselves. He has helped our community with trying to compromise and solve HOA violations. He helped our community work through complicated issues in a lawsuit to solve a problem with an owner who refused to follow the rules and harassed neighbors to no end. He also helped us figure out what community rules could be changed to avoid problems in the future. Pejman is one the best and truly a blessing to our community!

Mariza is the best lawyer I've worked with over the years. She knows a lot, and she is fast at finding out what her clients need. Her manner in handling my case was skilled and professional but also personable, considerate and encouraging. She always responds to calls, email and texts, usually the same day. Her rates and billing practices are fair, and in my case, extremely generous. Mariza represented me in a matter that most lawyers might be afraid to confront, and she made the difference in the way things played out in the end in ways that only a person of the highest character would know and be able to do for a client.

DRIVEN ATTORNEY – EXTREMELY CAPABLE - INTEGRITY & COMPASSION: HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I speak very fast. Most people cannot hear as fast as I speak. It has been an advantage in our industry. However, when I am emotionally involved, I speak even faster. This was a matter in which I was completely emotionally committed. As a business person, I am humbled to say I was a nervous wreck. Not only did Ms. Lockhart immediately HEAR and COMPREHEND the facts, details, persons involved and research that was dumped on her with great speed during the first hour, but she retained the information and was able to systematically select out, strategize and apply what was needed to win this case. She treated the frazzled me with respect and support. She dignified the entire process. Ms. Lockhart does not judge and understands that sometimes the system can be tricky Amazing. Throughout this process Ms. Lockhart worked tirelessly and hit the “Grand Slam” we were looking for. It is clear that she works as hard for her clients as much as she cares for them. She defends her clients' rights aggressively yet professionally. She earned the respect of both the parties on the other side as well as the“judge”. Her negotiation skills and her knowledge created the best possible outcome. From our very first meeting, Ms. Lockhart expressed an unmatched energy and assertiveness to get the ball rolling. She listened to the facts, read the evidence, and appraised the situation. She reviewed the facts to verify comprehension for accuracy and then discussed the options and discussed legal safeguards to put our rights first. She allowed plenty of time to answer personal concerns and questions. Mariza was totally prepared and fought for us at the hearing. In preparation, she gathered information from attorneys around the country to help us through this incredible and potentially heart breaking time. There isn't another attorney in San Diego that could have been as successful in obtaining the goals we established at the beginning of this case. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSIONAL, MARISA LOCKHART, TO GUIDE YOU AND PROVIDE YOU CLARITY THROUGH ANY BUSINESS TRANSACTION OR EVEN THROUGH OUR LEGAL SYSTEM. Without the right counsel, you are negatively labeled by the other party; it is extremely damaging, spirit crushing and difficult to rewind the carnage. With Ms. Lockhart by your side, you have assertive, passionate representation. THANK YOU Mariza; you will continue to be in our prayers for continued successes and blessings!

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.
