About Toni
Biography
I strive to be our clients' trusted legal advisor, a member of their team committed to the task of helping them grow their business, protecting their assets and giving them peace of mind to enjoy what they do. We are not focused on our bottom line. Rather, we are focused on getting the best result for our clients that they want and need. If it's a contract review that takes 1 hour or a complex business transaction that takes 3 months, we are committed to working on both (and everything in between) diligently, professionally and efficiently. When a client reaches a goal or milestone because of our involvement, strategic counsel and advice, we are buoyed by that success as if it were our own.
Outside of the office, I love spending quality time with family and friends, building Legos, watching movies, floating in the pool, playing video and board games, going hiking, and enjoying great California wines.
I am a trusted business & entertainment attorney to creatives (writers, producers, directors, talent) for our Entertainment Practice and to sole proprietors, start-ups, family-owned companies, and small to middle market businesses for our Business Practice.
I am a trusted business attorney to entrepreneurs through the various life cycles of their businesses from formation to funding to strategic exit planning. We represent sole proprietors, start-ups, family-owned companies, and small to middle market businesses.
I am a trusted business attorney to entrepreneurs who negotiates, reviews and drafts business contracts for any stage of your business. We represent sole proprietors, start-ups, family-owned companies, and small to middle market businesses.
