Highly recommend

I contacted Dominic, based on the recommendation from a friend, to help establish my business The entire process went exactly as he described. Very friendly. Thoroughly answered all questions asked. Recommended Dominic to a family member for assistance in setting up a business as well.

Very professional, thorough and responsive!

Dominic helped me with agreements to get my small business up and running. He provided great insight and was very patient with all of my questions throughout the process. I also appreciated that he charged a fixed price, so I didn't need to worry about the cost increasing while ensuring that the docu...ments were completed as I wished. Dominic is very professional, thorough and responsive, and a pleasure to work with!

Business Acquisitions

Dominic is an outstanding attorney that helped me successfully acquire two businesses with complicated deal structures. Extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and responsive. I highly recommend and will use him again for my future business transactions.

Posted by Scott Treichler | November 09, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Corporate & Incorporation

Highly recommend

We retained Dominic to advise us on starting our new company. He was invaluable not only in helping us form the corporation but continues to advise us on a week to week basis. I can always call Dominic for advice and he has always responded quickly and professionally. I am sure the fees we have paid ...his firm do not come close to covering all the time he has spent on the phone educating us, he truly puts our interest ahead of just generating revenue. Recently when we became involved in an intellectual property dispute his leadership in finding us specialized help and formulating our response I am sure prevented a major legal problem. I would highly recommend Dominic he is a credit to the law profession.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
