Vehicle Financing
Purchasing a new vehicle is not only an exciting event, it is an important opportunity to exercise financial finesse. While various forms of financing are available, it is beneficial to a savvy consumer to explore the benefits and drawbacks of each option. This article outlines the most common lending structures in use today.
Estate Planning Like all aspects of life, the realities of death have been transformed by technology in manners unimaginable just a few decades ago. Modern families are often confronted with an inability to access sensitive digital online accounts in the wake of a loved one’s passing, such as online banking and brokerage accounts and social media profiles. Fortunately, your attorney can assist you in preparing a comprehensive estate plan capable of providing for the contemporary client.
Reverse Mortgages
Homeownership and the financial benefits it offers are among the most prized of American dreams. For many mature homeowners, these benefits have come to include the advantages presented by a reverse mortgage. While reverse mortgages are a viable option for many seniors, enabling them to utilize the equity stored in their property while retaining their homes, proper education on the practice is essential to ensure the satisfaction of potential consumers.
Arbitration
Methods of reaching a desirable compromise between feuding parties can take many forms, one of which is known as arbitration. As arbitration is a unique form of conflict resolution, distinct from traditional trials and common mediation, it is vital that individuals be aware of the rights and duties associated with such proceedings.
Corporate Attorneys Orange County California & Legal Blogs – A Processed Video Transcription
I had a look at this website regarding legal answers to questions, and one of my biggest gripes about a site like this is that I think it oversimplifies the advisory process that a corporate attorney offers to a business client.
Corporate Attorneys Orange County Speak About Legal Blogs
Probably one of the most versatile and useful tools to a business person is a business lawyer who is their trusted adviser and who is well familiar with their company and with their particular situation, their goals and aspirations, problems that they’re having in the present and that they may have in the future.
The problem with someone going to one of these sites is that they’ll ask a question not really know enough about the legal background to maybe include certain critical facts which would completely change the answer a business lawyer may give them. I found that when I look on these sites, even when I looked at the questions, I rarely get enough facts from the client to make any answer have any value at all.
When I’ve read the answers that lawyers post, almost always it strikes that one of three things is going to happen. If it’s a good corporate attorney they may not answer at all. Secondly, if it’s a good lawyer and they want to participate in a website like this, they’re going to give a vague answer, so that no one can come back and say, hey, I followed the advice that you gave me on this website and it all turned out wrong.
Trusted Business Lawyers – Corporate Attorneys Orange County
Or the third thing that they’ll get is they will get a lawyer to give an answer and then place a giant disclaimer at the bottom saying this is not legal advice, you are not my client, good luck if you followed my advice. None of those three options to me seems worth the time it is to either make a post or answer the post.
I would always recommend a business person to invest time in finding a lawyer that they resonate with. There’s a good connection in terms of what the lawyer’s skill set is and the kind of business that they have, and form a relationship.
The quality of the advice that you are going to get will be directly related to the quality of information corporate attorneys Orange County has, and I think that’s the best way for a client to proceed.

There is not a week that goes by where I do not receive a telephone call from a corporate client asking us at Incorporation Attorneys California about a disclosure statement or other government appearing form requesting the immediate payment of money. The letter appears to be sent all over Orange County and is similar to the one here.
Scam Incorporation Services – What You Need to Know
The typical scenario is that the client has incorporated in the state of California. Because of the government filings that are required in California, the address of the corporation and the names of the officers and directors of the corporation become a matter of public record, so it is a simple matter for the crook to figure out the officer or corporate director who should be the recipient of the scam letter.
The forms come from a variety of official-looking offices and appear to require the immediate attention of the corporate officer or the corporate director of the mailing. Frequently, the crooks behind the scam charge several hundred dollars to file forms that will only have a small fee if they were filed directly with the correct government agency.
Many times the form suggests that if the form is completed the corporate records keeping for the corporation or the limited liability company has been completed for the year. Nothing could be further from the truth.
What is interesting is that on January 1, 2012, the state of California passed new laws preventing people from sending misleading solicitations to Californians who had formed corporations or limited liability companies. To protect business owners who had formed corporations, the California Secretary of State, Debra Bowen, supported the law that now requires new disclaimers to be added to third-party mailings.
Corporate Scam Disclosure Statement – Corporate Records
The significant parts of the law require the following disclaimer to be put on the front and back of every page and a font that is at least 12 point bold-faced capital letters and at least 2 point font size larger than the next largest font on the page. The law also requires or forbids the soliciting companies from using a name that may make the recipient of the mailing believe it is from a government agency or entity like the Secretary of State’s business division’s division.
It also increases the penalty to $2500 per violation. In order to give these new laws some teeth, California corporations and corporate officers that receive this type of scam solicitation letter are encouraged to file a written complaint with the California Attorney General’s office. The attorney general is requesting that the complaint be accompanied by the entire solicitation including the envelope and the other related corporate records and documents. A complaint form can be completed online at the California Attorney General’s website.

I met Andrew Gale through a mutual friend several years go. I was so impressed with their business practice that I made it a point to get to know the attorney to expand my own business. Several years later following their advice i am successful with my business endeavors and do not make any decisions unless i consult with them. Not only do they manage my corporations but also literally help 30 of my clients who use their services. Rare gems in the industry. Highly recommend Gale and Vallance.

A trusted colleague/friend of mine actually referred me to Andy's firm and I'm really grateful!
He and his team were incredibly prompt, informative, helpful, and patient (with inevitable questions that came there way by a new business owner like myself). With all the specificities it takes to create a business, this team was awesome in communicating with me and assisting me with navigating not only the needs to get the ball rolling but also how to keep it rolling and with tips to help with bank accounts and accounting packages (if I were to want to take those routes).
They were also very neutral in providing all the options possible and when I requested advisement or pros/cons, they were able to share these promptly and in a way that helped me choose what was best for me.
I'm glad to have worked with them and will continue to work with them

Andy and his team were a pleasure to work with! As an LMFT opening a private practice, I was nervous and felt like I didn't know what I was doing. Andy did a great job at explaining everything step by step. I got off of our kick-off call feeling confident and ready to take the next step to opening a practice! I decided to go with a corporation for my private practice. Andy and his team are thorough and answered all my questions throughout the process. I was surprised how quickly everything was taken care of. They also sent me emails along the way, giving me updates. I will be using them for my yearly legal needs. 10/10 recommend!

I could not be more pleased, and frankly impressed with the expertise, attention to detail, follow-up and professionalism of the whole office staff. Andrew Gale Esq is extremely knowledgeable of his craft. His overall approach to corporation creation and management took any doubt or apprehension I had about the process.
Thank you so much for everything and I look forward to a long relationship with your legal practice.
