I needed a miracle and I found one in Anthony. I was about to be deported and Mr. Anthony kept my in the USA. He was screaming at the other lawyer and then Mr. Anthony one my case. He kicks butt hard!! He wears his kicking boots.

09 Aug, 2016 by Andrea

Anthony settled a case for me in December of 2015 from an unfortunate accident in a retail store and a fair settlement was had. I had been going through a very difficult time in my life for many reasons involving many issues and I am ashamed to admit now I was not an easy client and Anthony could have let me go a few times but his understanding to my personal issues and Anthony having compassion for others was able to get me through the process as we had some difficult issues in my case at times which proved frustrating for both of us but Anthony was professional on all accounts. I highly recommend Anthony if you want A WORLD CLASS ATTORNEY who works hard on your behalf then Anthony Nunes is the man for you to get the job well done under any circumstances and is very well up to date and educated within all areas of the law. Best Regards

28 Feb, 2016 by Mayra

Anthony is AMAZING!!!!!! From the start to the end he was professional, understanding, had a great positive attitude, and honestly most of all, he truly made me feel at ease the whole time. He always answered my calls and if he couldn't he always called back as soon as he was available. He was able to get my case dismissed. Honestly he is the best. THANK YOU Anthony. I can sleep calm now thanks too you. Sincerely Mayra

I first met Maryam in 2013 while she worked diligently on a criminal case for my husband. She had truly been a Godsend to my family. Maryam went above and beyond to thoroughly represent my husband, she went as far as to obtain her notary license so that she could notarized an important document while my husband was incarcerated at MDC, LA. I could call on her and Maryam would be available. It gave me great peace of mind knowing that she was an attorney that actually cared about her clients. Maryam was honest with me and did not sugar-coat the severity of my husbands case. I felt safe and connected to her for her honesty. Tragically, my husband passed away in custody. I had not spoken to Maryam in well over a year (we ended up going with a public defender). I received a very heartfelt text from Maryam giving me her condolences and telling me how much she knew I loved my husband. A year and half later in 2016, I hired her to represent my minor daughter for a DUI. Again, I cannot tell how much she went above and beyond to represent thoroughly for my family. She works hard, she's honest and she has a heart that truly wants to help her clients and represent them in the best possible way. Maryam took the time to sit and meet with my daughter and offered her ear and help even beyond the court room. My daughter received probation and Maryam did her homework and was able to save me thousands ($25+K) of dollars in a falsified restitution claim. I could never thank Maryam enough for all that she has done for me and my family. My daughter is now off of probation thanks for Maryam. She is on a much better path and is expecting. I will say that I did not trust attorneys before. Maryam is an attorney that I literally trust with my life. She took the utmost care of my late husband and my daughter. She is very dear to my heart and I love her! THANK YOU MARYAM FOR EVERYTHING! Respectfully, Ursula

I had found Maryam Sharifi through a common aquantance and I will say I was very lucky to have been able to find a way to her. I had received a DUI charge that was pending as a felony and she did everything she could to save me jail time and bring it down to a misdemeanor. She had spoken with me dad and many occasions and went out of her way to keep him informed as well and she really got to know us had a genuine concern for my well being. She found a traffic school for me and made sure I kept up with any and all court assigned classes to make sure I got out of this okay. For a very long time I had a huge worry of going to jail and having to drop out of school and all that come with that; and Maryam has helped physically as well as mentally with all of that and I couldn't thank her enough. I highly recommend Maryam Sharifi if you have any kind of issues like I did.

27 Jun, 2017 by Matt

I have had great experiences with Maryam, from small quick phone call advice to representing me in big legal matters, Maryam has been a pleasure to work with. I have referred her to friends and family for all of their legal needs and I'm happy I found a lawyer I can trust.

The title says it it all. Within minutes of speaking with Michelle, I knew I found the right lawyer. She knew exactly what to ask, showing not only her experience, but making me realize I had not thought about certain details that were important to my situation. She was detailed, honest, and made me feel comfortable.

12 Jun, 2020 by Anonymous

I sought guidance on how to proceed on my own behalf. Ms. Reynolds understood how much time would be needed to advise me and sent a list of documents I needed to provide in advance of our 1.5 hour consultation. She was on-time, thoroughly prepared and knowledgeable on every aspect of the situation. She asked clear, precise questions to be sure I communicated everything necessary for her to formulate her advice, which was specific and explained in detail. I am now awaiting responses to the communications I sent out to see how the situation resolves. I am hopeful of the outcome.

Ms. Reynolds handled my case with care, efficiency and due dilligence. We were successful all due to her efforts. I do not believe I could have done it without her! As a lawyer myself, I appreciated her professionalism and passion.

She explained everything in simple terms, made excellent suggestions and basically held our hand step by step. It was so easy and painless. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lynn Girvin for any and all law services that she provides.

Mr. Nabi is an attorney that operates with integrity, compassion, and diligence. My husband and I retained another lawyer who we later found out was involved in accusations of fraud and was suspended. Mr. Nabi took our case as a collegial favor to the first lawyer, and did not charge us for his service. We were suspiciously cautious, but the only other choice we had was to shell out another $2500.00! After we began to work with Mr. Nabi, it became obvious that he was truly committed to helping us resolve our bankruptcy issue. He discovered an error in the calculation of our actual eligibility for a bankruptcy and began to help us understand why we would have to wait to file. He helped us figure out where to complete the online classes that are required, and prepared us for the next steps in the process. Once all the paperwork was re-typed and submitted, Mr. Nabi communicated with us regularly and attended the meeting of creditors with us. Ultimately, as he had assured us, we were able to get the debts discharged and start fresh. Almost a year after the bankruptcy, I received a notice from a creditor that claimed I was party to a debt with my daughter. I contacted Mr. Nabi and he handled the situation by contacting the creditor. Within two days, my name was removed and I received a release from the creditor acknowledging their error, even though I had tried to tell them that! My daughter’s case had been filed over a year before we met him by another attorney, yet Mr. Nabi was graciously willing to answer my questions about what she could do two years after discharge. He offered some suggestions and she has moved forward as well. Mr. Nabi has my highest recommendation as a bankruptcy attorney. He will certainly go the distance to help you through this difficult time in your life journey.

I filed for bankruptcy with Mr. Nabi and felt completely comfortable and at ease in the way he handled my situation. He was quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. I highly recommend Mr. Nabi.

Michael knows his craft VERY well. I've dealt with several different BK lawyers, and Mike stands out as the smartest and most competent in his field. He is well respected amongst his peers and the judges he appears in front of. He fights extremely hard, and always within the bounds of honesty and ethics. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend him.

12 Oct, 2023 by Tim

Michael handled my personal and two company EXTREME bankruptcy . Also while under a 5 year contentious divorce which made things very difficult. Words and phrases that best describe Michael over the last 5 years. - Strategic - Fast thinker on his feet - Handles himself well in front of Judges - Strong litigator - Judges have tremendous respect for Michael - Knowledge of Bankruptcy Law and Procedure is high - One of the most honest individuals I have ever hired - Strong to the end - Knows everyone in the industry - Very conservative - Extremely smart - Doesn't waste any time I hope to never go through a bankruptcy or divorce again in my lifetime, but if I did, Michael would be my first call!!!

29 Jan, 2018 by Ben

Mike Spector has been my lawyer for over 20 years. Simply put, he's the best there is in his field. He knows BK law as well or better than any lawyer in this area or practice. That's why he's so well thought-of by the Judges he appears before. Moreover, Mike is honest, hard-working and just plain decent. And his rates are the best, too.

I can spare you some search time. Pick up the phone and call Jeff(rey) in the next five minutes and you'll better understand my feedback below for yourself; We utilized Jeff for services regarding a very important family matter where trust, integrity, and sage counsel were our top priorities, and Jeff did not disappoint. He made sure to work with our schedule, made sure to follow up with us when we lost track of things, and he was always available to help reassure us in any doubts or concerns as they arose. He is patient, a true professional, and his working knowledge of the law makes us call him Jeffpedia! A natural curious mind coupled with an authentic demeanor made us look no further. We will continue to look to Jeff for future counsel and recommend him to all our friends and family. My wife and I strongly recommend Jeff for any applicable legal counsel.

Mr. Anderson is VERY professional and polite and he definitely knows the law. I could not recommend a better attorney to have on your side and from my experience you are in VERY good hands with Mr. Anderson.

27 Jan, 2011 by Anonymous

A few weeks ago, we posted that Fred Anderson had quit our friends suit and was quite upset. Later we had found out that Fred Anderson had not quit and was proceeding with trial. My wife and I were there through the first two days of trial. Watching Mr. Anderson through the glass door, you could tell his passion for the truth and his total dedication to our friends situation, and at times could hear Mr. Anderson through the glass getting his point across to the courtroom and to the presiding judge. During this process, getting ready for trial, having to be here or there, Mr. Anderson always kept our friend informed and gave the facts of the case to him, without sugar coating it. His strength, courage and knowledge of this type of the law was beyond, what we would ever think was out there and saw a master of his craft working hard to prove that his client was wronged. To sit with Mr. Anderson you can tell his mind is working constantly, doing every sceneraio that he could imagine, thinking of what ever law he needed to be brought in on this case and kept looking at the trial steps ahead of time. While questioning myself and my wife, Mr. Anderson helped us with the questions, engaging us to relax and think about our answers and answer them clearly as we could recall. Mr. Anderson never made us feel inadequate while questioning us and thanked us several times for standing by our friends side. So to you Mr. Anderson, we sincerely apologize for "jumping the gun" our our last posting. We had been misinformed and just took that information as the truth. You are a man of a fine art and you have the wisdom beyond all others when it comes to the law and helping your client with delicate issues, was well done. Even though that day the court didn't decide in your favor, you still won this case in our minds. We have told several of our trucker friends that if they ever have an issue that requires an attorney, we have recommended you to them. You have a sincere passion for the truth and sought the truth to be told on that day, You didn't promise anything to our friend, except that you'd be there, do your best in representing him and to get the truth to be told once and for all. You are a true and honest man, which is extremely hard to find in these days. We again sincerely apologize to you, for assuming what we had been told was the truth. You taught two older people, not to jump until learning the facts.

It's sad that they don't give 10s in this case, as watching Fred Anderson go from aggressive, to passive, to aggressive on this case, made me scratch my head at times. Watching him was a true art form while fighting for his client and keeping the composure through-out this trial was a rare site. Fred Anderson looked, acted, and dealt with the matters that were handed him in the ut-most professional design. We were a little worried as there were times he seemed out in a zone, but it was that he was searching for the law, the words, the fight, to win this case. He came across as posed and as professional as anyone we had ever witnessed before. He knew what he was up agaist yet, he bowled right through it as he had a job to do. He won this case in our minds, but the jury didn't see it that way, that day. I would reccommend Fred Anderson to anyone I know that has a legal problem. If he doesn't know what he could do to help, he'll help you find some one that will. I certainly am very happy and willing to eat my words on this case. Fred Anderson won this day.

Richard Thomas Collins is representing me in a wrongful termination/whistleblower case. We lost our case in federal court. Rich is my hero and will continue to be even if the appellate court denies our appeal for a new trial. I'd recommend him and his team at Berger Kahn to anyone.

14 Apr, 2011 by Dennis and sheryl

We shopped around and spoke with 6 other attorneys before finding Richard Thomas Collins. We knew he was "the one" when he took time to listen to every aspect of our case and even advised us for awhile, before we officially hired him. And then when we did sign on with him, he tried to be reasonable about the fee and not charge more than necessary. His attitude was to see how things go and maybe he wouldn't need to charge more. Other attorneys wouldn't even talk beyond 10 minutes or so without demanding a retainer fee. Richard Collins remained realistic and careful not to promise positive results that might not happen, but at the same time, he was thorough and quoted actual penal codes that pertained to our case. He did his homework and made sure the details were correct. The letters he wrote on our behalf were so outstanding and accurate that it helped us get through rough days and cheered us up to read them! It appears that the outcome of the case is exactly what we had hoped for, and we attribute that result to Richard Collins' expertise and knowledge, for our type of case. He was completely professional yet sensitive to what we were going through as real people with feelings. His manner is so pleasant and reassuring. He was always good to return calls and kept us informed. Having worked with other attorneys on other unrelated issues in the past, we wish we had known about him sooner!

I was comfortable from the first contact with Church Law Center. We needed to go through dissolution of our church, which by itself was an incredibly emotional thing to have to do. Then add the complexity of the forms and process for proper filing, we knew that we needed help. A task that felt incredibly overwhelming was made much easier by Myron and his team. They were able to answer our questions and handled everything for us. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Through a "minor" miracle, our parachurch non-profit was put in contact with Myron and his staff. After the initial consultation, we knew they were the right fit for our needs. Their knowledge and experience are tremendous. The work they did through consultations and organizational document revision has not only put us in good legal stead but has given us a peace of mind that had been missing for some time. Now, we are pressing forward with renewed confidence!

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?

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.

Advise on tax strategies to minimize your business's tax burden.

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 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.

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.
