Law Office of Richard A Chapo

We reached out to Richard for legal services for the mobile app we were developing. We had an outstanding experience from start to finish. Richard proved to be very knowledgeable about all the legal issues at hand and kept up with new laws as they were developing. When we reached out to Richard to determine if he would be the appropriate lawyer for our needs, he listened to our situation and patiently explained the various legal considerations that need to be examined. He quickly followed up with a letter of engagement and the entire process was smooth and enjoyable. He was extremely responsive all hours of the day and even evenings, and welcomed our phone calls and questions. He went above and beyond for us, ensuring that we were comfortable with the legal process every step of the way. We could not have been more satisfied with Richard’s legal services. Should we need future legal assistance, we will turn to Richard with confidence.

Mr. Chapo reviewed the Terms of Conditions and the Privacy Policy for our soon-​to-​be launched website. His knowledge of national and international law as it relates to the internet is outstanding. He organized the review of our documents so that we could conduct the session on the phone and was very thorough.
He demonstrates genuine interest in one’s internet project and gives an evaluation of one’s website with a wonderful «bedside manner.» Anyone who has an internet-​related project could feel confident that he/​she is getting the best advice available.
Mr. Chapo is the only attorney that I have ever considered recommending. We are fortunate to have found this exceptional attorney with unique expertise.

I got super-​fast service at taking down a copy-​cat website that had appropriated my content. Less than 24-​hours after contacting Mr. Chapo, it was done! And the cost is very affordable.
Highly recommend!

Mr Chapo provided me services related to incorporating an S Status Professional CPA Corporation. He drafted excellent, robust ByLaws and First Meeting Minutes. Professional Corporations need very specific language in the bylaws and I thought his set of bylaws came out to be a great product.
All this was completed over the internet; I live and work in Los Angeles. Whenever I asked any type of question regarding the incorporation process, Mr Chapo was very quick to respond to my emails; he would be even so kind as to respond on weekends, too. He did not respond in «lawyer talk» and would very much go into details explaining all processes. He followed through on his timelines.
Overall, my dealings with Mr. Chapo were an excellent experience.
If any of my own accounting clients ever need assistance incorporating, I will definitely refer them to Mr. Chapo.

I’m starting a web site with some friends and contacted Richard to get some advice on incorporation. Of course, we’re also looking for on going legal advice on different issues and Internet law seems to be Richard’s forte.
Right from the start Richard was very responsive. I received a quick reply to the request for a consultation and he was also courteous and flexible about the time. We had to reschedule the meeting a couple of times as Richard was pulled away supporting existing clients, but once we did meet I felt that Richard gave me his full attention and was very interested in providing the best solution for us.
Considering this was a free consultation, I felt like we got some good solid advice on copyrighting, Internet legislation etc. I would rate Richard higher if it weren’t for a difference of opinions on S/​C Corps vs. LLCs. We favor an LLC as a very light weight way of getting started and Richard recommended more of an S or C Corp route based on the information I gave him about our likelihood of going public. Ultimately, during our discussion we were not able to rule out an LLC as a viable option, which I was hoping to do. The consultation was free though, and in order to get targeted advice and specific reasons for a selection we’d really need to pay for some of his time researching the topic.
Richard obviously has an ongoing interest in Internet technology and companies, and can converse fluently about different players. His free consultation greatly helped us move forward toward making a decision and helped me see exactly which areas of law I needed to look into further. I would recommend checking in with him if you’re incorporating a new web site.
