Outstanding Incorporation Attorney and Staff

The Law office of Gale and Valance provide outstanding incorporation services. Attorney Andy Gale and his staff were patient, extremely knowledgeable, and the utmost professionals. They incorporated my speech therapy business and I am very grateful for their help. I was guided every step of the way a...nd fortunate to have been referred to them by another Speech Pathologist who utilized them to incorporate her business. I can’t say enough how truly blessed I am to have had Attorney Andy Gale and his staff (especially Naomi and Ana) help me.

Highly Recommend!!!

I met Andrew Gale through a mutual friend several years go. I was so impressed with their business practice that I made it a point to get to know theattorney to expand my own business. Several years later following their advice i am successful with my business endeavors and do not make any decisions ...unless i consult with them. Not only do they manage my corporations but also literally help 30 of my clients who use their services. Rare gems in the industry. Highly recommend Gale and Vallance.

"I endorse this lawyer. Andy Gale was my go to attorney when I was incorporating my law firm to APC. Although we went through a lot of red tape through the CalBar, Attorney Gale was there with me for every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable, personable, professional, and honest. I have since recommended numerous attorneys and my own clients for anything that has to do with business law and/or incorporation."

"Attorney Andy Gale is a trusted advisor for my family and my business on a broad range of important legal issues. Andy is one of the smartest, hard-working, and effective professionals on my team. He is responsive, accessible, and spends more time listening than speaking. He is the first person I go to for legal issues and for referrals to other key professionals. Andy has helped me, my family and my business plan for the future. His streamlined process is great for new businesses. The maintenance program will keep your corporate records tidy. If Andy does not handle an issue, he'll put you in touch the the right person the very same day. If you are an entrepreneur or a start-up, you need Andy Gale on your team. I have also had the pleasure of interacting with Matt Vallance, and he and Andy make a great pair. The staff at the law firm are terrific also. There are simply not enough words to fully share how exceptional Andy Gale."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
