Need Business Filing Done_Call Michael Callon

Michael Callon knew just what to do in setting up my business structure, both an S-Corp and Partnership. The filings were timely, efficient and saved me time and money rather than doing it myself. Rates reasonable, great knowledge of law and procedures, and effective communication. Thinking about Leg...al Zoom? Don't waste your time as Michael's rates and dedication to the clients makes this a much more seamless process without you having to do the majority of the work.

Tenants From Hell Problems

We were referred to Michael to help us evict tenants that were taking advantage of our elderly parents (landlord) and we had to step in when they stopped paying rent and changed the locks so we couldn't check the smoke detectors. Michael knew exactly what to do and put the plan in action. The tenant...s tried to stall court proceedings and vindictively called the city and filed a false habitability complaint. Michael went above and beyond and was present at the city inspection on our behalf to explain the circumstances which helped us avoid erroneous penalties. At court he was reasonable and professional with the tenants and ultimately got them to agree to leave and forfeit their security deposit for damages caused.

I aint affraid of no Landlord....who you gonna call.....Michael Callon thats who

We had forgotten what it was like to live in a home that is peaceful to return to, or wake up not wondering how many bugs have crawled on you at night. My kids actually look forward coming home after school rather than staying away as long as they can....... With Michael's assistance, we were able... to move from a locked in living environment, impede the pragmatic landlord from evicting our family when he was in the wrong, and even returned a security deposit. We would not of been able to do any of that without the help of Michael's around the clock service. If you have any legal troubles that Michael can help with, I would recommend sending him an email or calling as it will be the best sound thing you can do to help you with your legal troubles. From my entire family, Michael, Thank you.

Eviction Expert Michael Callon

This attorney is an ace in the hole for any landlord or real estate professional in property management. He knows how to write a powerful letter that gets results and he negotiates with challenging tenants in a miraculous way. I retained him to evict tenants on two occasions and he has also been avai...lable to me for quick questions about rent control laws - an area that can be very tricky in Los Angeles. I have referred him to multiple clients of mine (landlords) that needed to evict problematic tenants, and Michael successfully evicted the tenants without delay, and my clients thanked me for the referral. I also retained him to set up my family trust and he charged me $1000 less than the other quotes I received from other attorneys. I highly recommend him because he is knowledgeable, thorough, timely, and affordable!

Micheal ( Mike) created employee contract documents for my apparel showroom. He executed the document in a timely manner and was highly informative on each topic I needed covered. I have worked with numerous lawyers throughout my career and Mike was not only the easiest to work with but had a great a...ttitude. If you a looking for an expert in this field I would HIGHLY recommend his talents.

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.
