Great Advice and Dependable Service

I hired Mr. Alden's office to assist me with a purchase and startup of a new dental practice in the East Bay. This was my first major business venture, so I relied heavily on Mr. Alden's guidance and advice. From the beginning, he was very responsive, answered my questions, gave suggestions, and pr...ovided me with alternatives and options for things I did not even know to consider. He has prior litigation experience, which I found very helpful in considering possible liability issues with employment and business matters. He handled everything from forming the business, to managing lease, contractor, architect, and bank contracts; he helped me with insurance forms, employment agreements, and all the necessary state and federal filings. The icing on the cake was that he did not nickel and dime me for phone calls, emails, or other seemingly "simple" questions I was asking him. I highly recommend him to anyone starting a dental practice or any business from scratch, or purchasing an existing one.

Litigation lawyer | Mar 25

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I went to law school with Vadim and we started our careers together at the same firm. I have known him to be particularly driven and motivated as a lawyer, as well as one who doesn't settled for what's "in the can" when he sees an opportunity to expand and improve on whatever issue he is facing. He maintains credible relationships with co- and opposing counsel such that communicating and negotiating with him at arms-length is valued, appreciated and makes a difference for his clients. He focuses on the task at hand but is not short-sighted, he thinks down the line and big picture. He is a very fine attorney and advocate."

General practice lawyer | Mar 22

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Alden is a hard-working, honest person and attorney. He has broad based experience and in-depth knowledge of litigation, both big and small, and he has also obtained excellent results for his clients in transactional matters. His ability to effectively communicate complex ideas and strategies is a real strength. Moreover, while he is easy to get along with and work with, he is able to effectively put on his advocate hat when that is required. In addition, his business savvy is an incredible asset to his clients, particularly his small business clients. In short, I would trust Mr. Alden with my most complex matters, be they contentious litigation or complicated transactions, without hesitation."

Business lawyer | Mar 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Vadim is a very intelligent and capable lawyer who understands that being counsel to small businesses involves more than providing "legal advice" - it requires being genuinely interested in, and getting to really know, the client's business. This then enables Vadim to go beyond simply providing the legally correct "answer" and instead providing sound and practical advice that the client can actually use. Vadim excels in this regard."
