Business Law Experience
Our attorneys emphasized their studies and expertise in business administration while they were studying in undergraduate college. Michael, Sr. focused primarily on finance while he was working for a stock brokerage agency as a full-time student at Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles. Michael, Jr. studied entrepreneurship and management to gain an understanding and appreciation of how to start a business; acquire the capital needed to maintain and grow that business; and proceed from the seed stages to growth stages.
Together, our attorneys are a team with a natural instinct to understand and solve complex business matters from all walks of life. We have helped thousands of clients start businesses, whether they are a sole proprietor or are seeking a partnership, a limited liability company, a corporation, a limited liability partnership, or a non-profit organization. Our lawyers are experts in business law and corporate law matters.

We also offer employment law and real estate litigation services that can be helpful for business owners and their interests.
Representing Businesses Through Startup
First and foremost, we can help your business in drafting up a business plan that addresses all legal concerns for your business’s growth and set-up. From there we can negotiate agreements to establish your business structure and consult on all future financial and legal considerations that need to be addressed.
By hiring a team of experienced business law attorneys, you can reduce your business’s liability and strengthen its chances of surviving its first five years (the period when a majority of businesses fail). From there, we can provide you with consulting advice and legal representation when you need it.
Incorporation can be extremely complicated from a financial and structural perspective. It’s imperative that you have someone on your side who is experienced in setting up business structures and handling business liabilities.
