Online legal services give you templates. They do not know your business, your industry, or what California law requires for your situation. An attorney gives you actual advice tailored to your facts and someone to call when something goes wrong.

It means we act as your go-to legal team without you having to hire a full-time in-house attorney. You call or email when something comes up, whether it is a contract to review, a hiring question, or a compliance issue, and we handle it. No retainer required for most clients.
