Excellent Attorney

My wife and I hired Ms. Domingo to develop our trust. We came to the appointment knowing very little on the legal consequences and ramifications of developing a trust. Ms. Domingo sat patiently with us and explained every step. Her depth of knowledge, patience, and professionalism was unmatched by an...y other attorney we had interviewed. We have been extraordinarily happy with the trust we placed in Ms. Domingo, and would highly recommend her to any friend or family member.

A True Gem

My company had questions regarding incorporation. Mika was extremely knowledgeable, professional and personable. She gave us the information we needed and we are extremely grateful. Thank you!

Tax compliance

As for cross border businesses, we always encounter situation related to tax issues. Mika helped the company to ensure the tax compliance understanding for proper arrangement as well as giving us professional and valuable comment on our contract wording.

Thank you Michelle, you're the best!

We needed some guidance in establishing our company in the U.S. and were referred to Michelle. She was able to provide all the help we needed in getting our firm set up including advice about LLCs vs LLPs, and other legal documents we require. She helped us with our non-disclosure agreement, consulti...ng contracts and reviewing agreements from possible partner companies. We have made our plans to go forward based on her invaluable help, thanks to her.

Avvo Rating

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.
