Posted by David | December 17, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Business

Formed Unlicensable Entity - Poor Experience

Jeffrey said he was a competent real estate attorney, so I hired him to handle business formation for the purpose of opening a real estate brokerage. I provided Jeffrey full payment and he formed an LLC. I then signed a franchise agreement with a major brokerage, a lease on a building and I went to... the DRE to register my company and obtain a company brokerage license. The California Dept of Real Estate denied my application, stating they do not license LLC's, only corporations as business entities. I contacted Jeffery and he said he would redo the business formation and file another entity, but I had to pay him again! As I was in a tough time crunch, I paid him thousands more, again. This should have been basic knowledge for a real estate attorney and Jeffrey should have owned his error and not charged me a significant amount for a second business formation. He also failed to submit a cancellation of the LLC to the state and I had to do that on my own, in addition to having franchise lease agreements moved to the new entity.

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.
