San Diego Corporate Attorneys
Why Choose Our Law Firm?
Our Service! When you engage our services, you can rest assured.
Deal Directly With Mr. Elia
You will always speak directly to Mr. Elia about your corporate question or concern. His secretary or paralegal will never handle your issue. Mr. Elia will analyze your unique business situation and advise you which business entity best suits you or your company's needs.
Do It Right
Your corporation will be personally handled by Mr. Elia, who has the necessary education and training to form your corporation properly and avoid legal pitfalls. A major reason for incorporation is to reduce personal liability. Anyone can file Articles of Incorporation. However, that alone may not protect you, your assets, or your business from legal exposure if the corporation is set up incorrectly. Protect yourself, your assets and your business by placing your trust in a qualified El Cajon corporate attorney.
Comprehensiveness
We will always complete the entire corporate package from A to Z including all articles, bylaws, minutes, stock certificates, forms, and even obtain an [EIN] employer identification number. All you have to do is review and sign where we indicate. We will never cut corners by sending you incomplete documents, fill in the blank forms, or rely on someone else to file your crucial corporate forms. You can rest assured that your corporation will be formed properly.
Reliability - Calls Returned Promptly
Your call will always be returned promptly by Mr. Elia. We understand that there are certain deadlines or compelling circumstances that may arise in the course of operating a business, requiring the advice of a San Diego business litigation attorney. We will be here when you need us.
Paperless Client Files
Although the State Bar of California requires attorneys to maintain a copy of a client's file for three years, we went a step further. Our office has invested tens of thousands of dollars on scanning equipment which allows us to keep a scanned PDF copy of your file on our server permanently. That means that you could call our office in 10 years and still get a PDF copy of your entire file emailed to you in seconds. This service has proven to be of utmost value to our business clients. Our office receives weekly telephone calls from clients that require certain business documents emailed to them immediately.
Off Site Backup of Your Important Files
Our office firmly believes in protecting your important files. That's why we keep all client files on our servers which have a raid system back up. Additionally, all of our client files are backed up every night to an offsite San Diego location in the event that our server fails or is destroyed by a fire. To add even a higher level of redundancy, our San Diego offsite location backs up to another out of state location to protect against a California Disaster.
Free General Legal Advice
One of the most common complaints about attorneys is that they bill clients for general telephone conversations. When you become our client, you are encouraged to call us as frequently as you like for general legal questions and you will not get billed for that telephone conversation. So before you sign that important contract, call our office first to discuss your legal rights. The call is free and you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. We only bill for telephone calls after we are hired to work on a specific case.
Same Day Call Return Policy
Our firm's policy requires that we return your telephone call the same day.
Our Firm is Fully Insured
Our firm was established in 2001. Since that time, we have always maintained an errors and omissions insurance policy. Throughout the years, our firm has handled thousands of cases and we have never had a claim or a lawsuit filed against us. You can rest assured that in the unlikely event our office errs, we are fully insured.
CAUTION!
Beware of other internet web sites offering incorporation services for unbelievably low prices. Here is what you should know:
They don't tell you that there are other corporate forms requiring additional fees to government agencies. These must be filed shortly after you receive the Articles of Incorporation. There are no hidden fees when you deal with our office. - They may not analyze your unique situation to recommend the best type of business entity for liability or tax reasons. Most of these companies are forbidden by law from giving you legal advice.
- They may only assist you in filing documents that you choose to be filed. However, this decision is best left up to your attorney and tax preparer, not you. For example, you may own a commercial property that you want to transfer into a corporation. However, a corporation may not be the best entity in this situation; you may be far better off with a limited liability company for tax reasons.
- Your corporation or other entity may not be completed properly, which could eliminate your limited liability protection. Most other companies usually don't complete the entire incorporation process.
- They typically file only the Articles of Incorporation (which is usually a 1-page document), send you a folder containing incomplete forms, and fill in the blank documents. You are left with the daunting task of completing the bylaws, minutes, stock certificates, S-Election (if applicable), figuring out IRS tax issues, securities qualifications, and other complex legal issues. If these documents are not completed properly, you may not be protected from personal liability for a judgment.
