Very Knowledgable & Thorough
Alex was an absolute pleasure to work with. I reached out seeking council regarding a corporate contract and he was incredibly thorough in his examination and explanation of the document. What's more, he went above and beyond to provide me with additional research and support to settle all of my questions. I would recommend Alex to all of my friends and colleagues.

BEST ATTORNEY EVERY!
From beginning to end, Alex was great! He picked up the phone on my first call and stayed in contact the entire time, even if it was just to say there was no update yet. He helped with my situation and got me the results I needed. Alex also helped keep the situation as cost effective and timely as possible. I would HIGHLY recommend Alex to anyone that could use his services. I can't thank him enough!

Great Advice on Contract Review
Alex reviewed an employment contract for software development work that I was considering (I am a software developer). My company is based in another state, but the company I would work with was based in California. Alex responded very quickly, and reviewed the contract promptly. He offered several insights into the contract that helped confirmed my suspicions about working with the company, and suggested a few courses of action I could take to protect myself should I still want to proceed with the contract. In the end, I did not sign the agreement, and I thank Alex for his expert help making me feel comfortable with my decision.

Trusted Legal Advisor
Alex Ripps has a unique ability to translate a very complex situation into an easy to understand situation with clear plan to follow. I'm a DC based real estate investor that bought into the LA market, following the distressed property purchase I was notified that the previous owner was naming me in a lawsuit. Very fortunate to have Alex and his team on my side to talk through situations for peace of mind and executing on the appropriate strategy.

Can't ask for more in a lawyer.
Alex does a great job, does it fast, and obviously cares about his work. Not only did he do a lightning fast job for my company, but he also kept abreast of our progress in our earliest days and congratulated us on our successes. It's good to be in the hands of someone who cares.

Alex walked me through the ins and outs of issues related to my business idea. He was very thorough, and he highlighted potential concerns I had never even considered. He is super sweet and I can't recommend him highly enough.
