Assisted in Obtaining OCCC Texas License

Very helpful in assisting in obtaining an OCCC Texas Motor Vehicle Sales Finance License. Very knowledgeable in answering all questions the OCCC asked for on their questionnaire. Highly recommended and would re-hire for any future assistance regarding motor vehicle and finance business. God Bless...!

Great Service

Alan assisted me in obtaining a California Finance Lenders Law license for an unsecured consumer loan business. Provided advice to comply with securities law when raising capital from investors.

California Finance Lender License

Alan was very helpful in assisting me in obtaining a California Finance Lenders Law license for my commercial loan brokerage business. He got right to work and gave me tasks of everything I needed to accomplish, along with links to places that provide these services. As a business owner, my attenti...on is pulled in multiple directions at a time, but Alan patiently kept me on track. He kept me in the loop every step of the way, and did touch base with the DBO on occasion to ensure my file was being reviewed in a timely manner. I highly recommend Alan's services. Obtaining the CFLL is confusing and time consuming. Don't do it by yourself! Let Alan assist you and he will make the process SO much easier.

"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."

Avvo Rating

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.
