California Finance Lenders License

I engaged Alan to help me through the complexities of obtaining my Lenders License. He was very knowledgeable about the process and provided me with a high level of service. I worked quickly getting him all the information needed and he worked at my pace. He was responsive to e-mails and questio...ns and follwed up with the DFPI to make sure everything was filed correctly. I had read online that this process could take as long as 6 months however Alan completed the assignment in less than 3 I will be retaining his services in the future to ensure my company remains in compliance.

Outstanding

I consulted with Mr. Abergel concerning some complex legal issues. He was a clear professional that addressed both the academic and practical issues that confronted me. His advice and guidance greatly benefitted my organization. Thank you.

Under promise and over deliver

Our licensed financial lending company hired Mr. Abergel to amend existing California finance lenders license. At the same time, we also participated in his one-month "consumer loan program". During this time, Mr. Abergel has drafted loan and disclosure documents, advised on federal and state compli...ance, provided related industry advice corresponding to our business practice and much more. It was a great investment because of his expertise, professionalism, and knowledge worth every penny! We highly recommend his services!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I contacted Alan to assist a client on a matter outside of my area of expertise, but within his (business dissolution). He was tremendously knowledgable and brought great comfort to the client, guiding the client carefully through an otherwise-uncomfortable dissolution, and adding a compassionate element that made the process flow much more easily. I strongly endorse Alan."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
