Incorporation Attorney

Attorney Andy Gale is a trusted advisor for my family and my business on a broad range of important legal issues. Andy is one of the smartest, hard-​working, and effective professionals on my team. He is responsive, accessible, and spends more time listening than speaking. He is the first person I go to for legal issues and for referrals to other key professionals. I sleep better at night knowing that Andy has my back. Andy has helped me, my family and my business plan for the future. His streamline process is great for new businesses. The maintenance program will keep your corporate records tidy. If Andy does not handle an issue, he’ll put you in touch the the right person the very same day. If you are an entrepreneur or a start-​up, you need Andy Gale on your team. I have also had the pleasure of interacting with Matt Vallance, and he and Andy make a great pair. The staff at the law firm are terrific also. There are simply not enough words to fully share how exceptional Andy Gale really is as my advocate and counselor.

Andy has handled ALL of our corporations within our family for over a decade and I cannot speak more highly of any attorney, and trust me. I have met and dealt with a lot. Andy and his team ranks among the best.
Andy has a streamline process that is great for any business especially start-​ups as he has a wealth of information and contacts to help you start out your business in the right direction. One of the most important things is although this process is streamlined, not once will Andy ever rush or speed you along… Every business is always an interest and Andy is always trying to see how he can help, whether it’s with his own knowledge and how to or with someone he can pair you up with that would help your business.
Another wonderful aspect Andy provides is the maintenance programs to keep everything within your corporation in order and up to date without the hassle of a learning curve. And to have someone like Andy guide you through the process… you’ll have more time to invest into your business, which is where you should be anyway.
I have been recommending all of my friends who are starting out to Andy and there has been nothing but praises. I completely recommend Andy and his services!

I found Andy while looking for an attorney who specializes in incorporation. Incorporating seemed pretty straightforward but at the same time, if one were to try to do it all on their own, there’s more than likely going to be a missed detail here or there. In comes Andy Gale.
Following a short discussion with Andy over the phone, I met with him in person to discuss my needs and how I wanted my business to be managed, function etc… He carefully assessed the situation and recommended which type of incorporation is most suitable for me. The price for everything was to me, quite reasonable and worth every penny if it meant avoiding mistakes that would later come back to haunt me via the IRS, Secretary of State or any other department for that matter.
Yes, you’re able to incorporate on your own, no it’s not rocket science however for piece of mind as well as doing it in the absolute best manner imaginable, you’re better off working with Andy and his associates to set you on the right path from the start. No sense in saying «I wish I would have known» later down the road when he’s able to help you avoid that altogether.
Aside from his professionalism and experience in the field, Andy really cares. He wants to act in the his client’s best interest. Can’t ask for more.
Thank you

I called in for a consultation and Andrew was very helpful. I am a new small business trying to startup and I wanted consultation on how to go about incorporating my company and he took time to explain my options and clearly understand what I needed to progress. Andy was very helpful and I would highly recommend him for legal consultation.

This place was top-​notch. From the moment I spoke with my attorney, Andrew Gale, he was helpful, informative, and answered everything I needed asap. He gave me his full attention even during the consultation when I had not retained them yet. Sure enough, after I did, things continued to go very smoothly. Sarah, his paralegal, was wonderful. She answered all my emails practically within minutes and completed everything they had promised right away as they had promised. Whenever I had extra questions, they answered immediately. They make an awesome team. I worked at a law firm for years before starting my own business, and if all lawyers were like this it would be a much better world out there, haha. Thanks so much guys, I will definitely be coming back! — AJ

I just started my new business and one of the very important issues that you should take care of is to hire a professional commercial lawyer, that will help you setting up the asset purchase agreement and review your contracts and officially register your company. I consider myself lucky to deal with Andrew Gale and his team. Since I’m an overseas E2 investor, I can’t forget my first call with Andrew, he showed care and interest in helping me, I felt comfortable and I started to work with him immediately. It is always easy to reach him and he answered all my inquiries.
Sarah is Andrew’s assistant and she worked with me getting my documents ready and she worked on very complicated case regarding my E2 and she was able to get me through it successfully. Thank you Sarah for all the efforts you did for me.
I highly recommend Andrew Gale for business incorporation matters, he is very professional and at the same time friendly. Thank you Andy!

I called Andy’s office for a consultation regarding the setting up of a non-​profit. He asked good questions to understand our intent. He was very helpful in answering the questions I had regarding the legal entity setup and he candidly shared his experience as it relates to non-​profits. Thanks Andy!

I am a new small business and just recently ran into some trademark issues. I really didnt know where to go nor what to do, especially bc i have no funds for professional help. However I knew i had to talk to an attorney no matter if i can afford it or not. I did a Unilocal search and didn’t hesitate to call Mr Gale’s office based on his glowing reviews. I had to leave a message however got a call back within a timely matter from his front desk. She was absolutely wonderful! Very helpful with setting up my appointment and with any questions i had. Very great first impression!
I ended up setting up a phone consultation with Andrew Gale. He patiently listened to my situation and frustrations. He knew exactly where to go to find my answers, and took me to all the pages and forms that i needed for reference. Andrew explained the rights i have and also provided me all the proper steps to take in my situation. To tell you the truth, i expected him to listen to my story and explain to me what he CAN do for me, since it was a consultation. However he went over and beyond and gave me the legal advice i needed with no hesitation. It made me feel he really cared for small businesses like mine.
I HIGHLY recommend Andrew Gale if you’re looking for a small business attorney. He was utterly helpful, patient, took his time and didn’t make me feel uncomfortable/intimidated.overall I was left with such a positive impression. I couldn’t thank him enough for his valued advice. He will definitely be my go-​to-​attorney for any future legal business matters.

No other person I trust when it comes to business law. Highly recommend him for any small business.

My business partner and I had an initial consultation with Mr. Gale regarding a start-​up venture we had established and are currently trying to grow. We have a product based business selling locally at various markets.
Mr. Gale was extremely generous with his time, explaining everything clearly and thoroughly. He walked us step-​by-​step regarding where we were at legally and gave us a road map for future growth, both from a liability stand point and a targeted financial standpoint.
From one conversation I could immediately tell Mr. Gale was competent, well-​versed in current legal procedures, passionate, and understanding of our current and future business needs.
Rather than confuse us with legal jargon or incite us with fear, he clearly explained our options and gave us practical advice (even taking into consideration cost-​savings rather than trying to sell us). In fact, he never once tried to sell anything — he just gave us clear and helpful advice and offered to meet for a further consultation.
I have dealt with lawyers who count every minute and bill us for each phone call. Mr. Gale was more interested in getting to know our company, our people, and giving us honest consultation.
In the first meeting with him, we walked away with a very clear picture of what needs to get done, which I am certain will save us money and protect us for the future.
I cannot say enough about our first impression and plan to work with Mr. Gale in the future as a legal representative and a valuable adviser. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy and passionate whose values align with our company’s needs.

Needed an attorney for a restaurant purchase & lease agreement review. Found Andy thru glowing reviews from Unilocal.Called him on a Wed & he saw me next day. Very knowledgeable, put me at ease without overloading me with legal mumbo-​jumbo. With his expert guidance, I was able to finagle a good lease from the landlord. Also referred me to his other trustworthy clients/​friends who helped me thru the business process. Another thing: He took care of my incorporation & it was one of the best experience I’ve had to date with his office. No headaches dealing with Federal & State, he provided me with separate corporate bank account package, accountant package etc. When I walked into my bank & presented the required papers, I was accommodated without a hitch. Also kudos to Sarah, his assistant. Once again thank you Andy!

The first time my wife and traveled together and left our kids behind, she was adamant about putting together a will in the event that something were to happen to us at the same time. Andy put together a full estate plan for us and explained everything in such a way that all the legal mumbo jumbo was as clear as day! He allowed to customize our plan, while at the same time, providing us very useful counsel and guidance since we of course were unfamiliar with the process. I can honestly say that if anything were ever to happen to my wife or I, the first person either of us would call would be Andy. I trust him with my assets and my family without hesitation.

I was referred to Andy by my CPA, that I LOVE. So I had high expectations, and not only were they met, they were surpassed. I am a Stay at Home Mom, who had 1000 question about a new business I was going to start with a friend. Andy was unavailable when I first called, so his assistant set up a phone call for a specific time later in the day.
During our 30 minute phone conference Andy answered all my questions, and had several questions, and advice for me that I didn’t even consider. I hung up feeling informed and empowered to go forward.
We are still in the planning stages of our business but I am SURE that when we are ready, Andy will be the guy handling all the legal, for this and anything else I need.

I met Andy through a friend and was very impressed with his ability to listen and understand the concerns I had with incorporating my business. He really took the time to explain all the benefits and possible drawbacks of incorporating so that I could make an informed decision.
More importantly he had a great deal of knowledge and brought up some things I hadn’t even thought about that were very important. Andy also helped us to copyright our company’s tagline, to protect it from being used or possible stolen by anyone else.
What I like best about Andy is the ability he has to simplify and explain the law and the advice he has given me has been invaluable.
I have recommended Andy to many Friends and clients and every one of them have been as pleased as I am to have him as our corporate attorney.

We just started a small business and were looking for a business attorney to help us form a corporation and guide us through the process. Well we found Andy! And what a great find, he and his staff are amazing. He takes the time to listen to you and understand your goals and will always provide the best advice for your business.
I truly recommend Andy to my friends and business associates.

I am a small business consultant who works with entrepreneurs helping them get their ideas off the ground or take their existing business to the next level. I often refer Andy to my clients for legal advice, incorporation needs, and all other small business legal matters. My clients love Andy because he is knows what they need and is great to work with. He will always look for ways to keep costs down while making sure that my clients get the information they need to run their businesses effectively. Andy is just a great personable guy!

Being a small, relatively young, business we often have questions or situations where we need professional, reliable, instant legal advice.
We are so grateful to Andy Gale, Attorney at Law, for his expert help and counsel when we are in need. It is difficult to keep up to date, or understand, all the CA legal requirements and obligations that small businesses need to comply to. Andy makes sure that our Corporate records are up to date. Andy is there for us when we have employment law questions, contracts to review, and other concerns and issues which arise in relation to the running of a business.
It is peace of mind for us knowing that Andy has our back and is available when we need him. He takes the complication out of unfamiliar legal language and he gives willingly of his time to put us at ease.
We would recommend, without hesitation, his services to other busineses.

I recently referred a friend of mine to Andy Gale as he really needed some guidance in the purchase of an existing business. My friend’s purchase had become an emotional decision and when Andy met with him, Andy was tactful yet brought attention to some important pieces of due diligence my friend had not done. Andy provided my entrepreneur friend with a due diligence check list among other tools that he could use in his evaluation. Andy met with us for almost 2 hours giving sound advise and good counsel. This was the best advise my friend had received. The experience, professionalism and honesty are difficult to find all wrapped into one attorney, but Andy Gale is the real deal! I refer all my friends, family and associates to Andy. Thank you Andy.

I am currently working on incorporating my company and trying to get the LLC operating agreement perfect! We had a ton of trouble with other lawyers and finally found Andy to help us! He was AMAZING to work with to say in the least. We had sought advice from him before in a much smaller capacity, but this was a lot of time that Andy put aside for us. He went through our agreement with us and was very helpful. I wish we had gone straight to him for our initial incorporation.
I would definitely go to Andy for any and all things to do with starting/​incorporating a company!

Our startup couldn’t be happier with the experience we had with Andy Gale. Unlike most lawyers, he really takes the time to sit down with you, understand what your goals are, and help you create a path forward. We went to Andy for our LLC operating agreement. We had an existing document we’d gotten from Legal Zoom we’d had to make after a previous lawyer had let us down. Andy read through the document with us line by line, and offered suggestions on the spot. There were significant problems with our original document so it was very valuable to have Andy’s support. Couldn’t recommend him more!
