Great experience forming an LLC

Richard is very knowledgeable and very professional. I found him through google search while looking for a lawyer to help me setting up LLC. He answered all my questions on the first free consultation and then we followed up by email to get him all the info he needed to set up the LLC. Once it was do...ne, a beautiful package arrived with all the documents neatly filed with instructions on what to do next. We then had a call to go over the details in the package and he answered all my questions patiently. He is not like other lawyers who charge you for answering you questions by email... he's very reasonable and very professional. Highly recommend Richard!

Outstanding Job Composing Our Firms Terms of Use and Disclaimer

I found Lawyer Richard Chapo after doing an online search for legal help. Our online business is complicated and growing and the services that we provide consumers needed to be disclaimed and I wanted legal protection! Mr. Chapo exceeded my expectations by composing a brilliant, terms of use and di...sclaimer portions for my popular consumer site. He did an all-around fantastic job and I was totally impressed with his knowledge and foresight. Having some legal education myself, I can tell you this guy is top notch. He is a real pro and I got exactly what I needed and more.

Company Formation - Highly Recommend

We were trying to set up our new company on our own and running into all kinds of questions and snags. A friend referred us to Mr. Chapo to assist in the formation of our corporation and so glad he did! Mr. Chapo was very helpful with guiding us through what type of company we should set up as and to...ok care of the entire process quickly and professionally. He provided us with an organized binder with all of our corporate docs, and has been a valuable asset for answering an array of questions...even brought light to some things we did not anticipate. I highly recommend Mr. Chapo and trust his advice 100%.

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.
