Reno is a trusted and excellent source for legal business help

Our business was recommended to Reno from multiple lawyers in san francisco as the best small business lawyer around. After engaging his help, we now know why he was highly recommended. Responsive, intelligent, reassuring, and was very helpful and for resolving issues relayed to contracts, legal exp...osure, bankruptcy, and any general legal questions we had. He also referred us when he was not able to assist. I highly recommend Reno and would refer him to anyone i know.

Incorporate This!

I worked with Reno to set up a couple of corporations. One involved transitioning from a previously created company to a new one (rebranding, setup proper corporate structure, etc). This involved all the paperwork to shut down the old company and get the new one started. Everything went well and th...e process was seamless and exactly what you'd want! The other one was to set up a corporation for what is currently an LLC, to eventually restructure the nature of the company to be more friendly for investors and to create a better platform for providing incentives to employees. This was a similarly expedient process in which everything went exactly as I had hoped and we completed all of the steps in my expected timeline. As my companies grow and our related legal needs must be tended to, I'll definitely reach out and work Reno and his team again!

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.
