Business Entity Incorporation Consultation

Aric made the process of creating our new business entity a breeze! He walked us through all the necessary documents and explained their meaning while answering any questions we had.

Nidon

I had a consultation with both Aric and Michael about property leasing related questions. Both were very knowledgable about the subject and answered all of my questions quickly. The consultation was scheduled to be 30 minutes yet they spent 45 minutes with me without charging extra because they want...ed to answer all of my questions. Was very satisfied with the consultation and if I decide to move forward with my project I will surely chose them to be my lawyers.

Great listener!

Aric and his team found the "needle in the haystack" by listening/hearing and asking the right questions...to close the nearly four year old case. We really appreciate the great level of service we received. Thank you.

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.
