Bend Law Group, PC

Probably a great law firm. They didn’t take my case but gave me some excellent referrals. Answered promptly and actually read my request…
I will definitely contact them again if different matters come up.

What a great experience!
I have used Alex, Luthien and the Bend Law Group a couple of times now for some big things in my business. We became incorporated, formed a separate LLC and a bunch of other stuff that I don’t understand which is why I used these guys!
As a fellow B Corp, I wanted to support businesses that have the same ideals I do. I was excited to find Bend and the experience surpassed my expectations. Everything was clear and explained to my dumb a$$ in a way that was easy to understand… I fix cars for a living, I don’t understand all this stuff. Alex gave me the piece of mind I was looking for and he embodied professionalism from start to finish.
In the future I would use Bend again with excitement!

I was referred to Alex King at the Bend Law Group from a commercial real estate agent. Since that transaction, I have consulted with him on numerous other legal matters. I have found Alex to be responsive, knowledgeable, and interested in outlining the steps, risks, and potential solutions to solve pressing matters.
Alex takes the time to understand the matter, provides a reasonable scope of work and quote that includes only what is asked for. He makes sure that I understands the goal, issues and the various choices so that a proper and informed decision is made.

I have to start by telling you I am blown away. I don’t really know how I found Doug — someone maybe referred me but maybe it was just here on Unilocal.
Originally I went to him for very basic paper filing /​city compliance stuff for my business. You know, all those crazy things like «SF GROSS RECEIPTS» tax or whatever it’s called that no person but an expert would reasonably even know existed.
But the funny thing is, Doug has been infinitely helpful past the regular transactional stuff. He has added so much value to our company in the fact that he always has an ear out for others that can help us specifically and sends a referral or introduction our way — he has great advice and the people he knows or points you to are top notch.
I really never thought our «transactional» attorney would become so valuable — but wow I have to tell you, he is really more than worth it. He’s part of our business’s family now :)
Can’t recommend him enough — great to work with, very helpful, well connected, insightful, honest and also Luthien at his firm is also AWESOME.
Bend Law group for the win!
THANKS AGAIN DOUG YOU ROCK

Spoke to Tucker Cottingham for a matter that I was not sure about. He was very helpful and resourceful. He pointed me to the right direction with proper references. Although I did not use his services this time, he is definitely some one I will go back to if need be. Thanks Tucker!

I was referred to Bend law group by another lawyer. That right there in and of itself speaks a lot. I’m currently in the process of opening up a bar in the east bay and needed to get a Corporation established with the state. These people are hands-​down the easiest group of lawyers I have ever had to deal with. Doug walks you through everything step-​by-​step and explains why you should be doing this, they will help file paperwork with the state and make sure you know exactly what is going on and how to do it yourself next time when refilling. Doug even went as far as answering phone calls while on vacation and returning emails. I will definitely be referring this firm to any of my friends or anyone that is thinking of opening up a business or just needs business advice. And on top of everything else the prices were very reasonable for the amount of stuff that they help take care of. Cheers guys to making something very complicated not complicated.

The team at Bend Law Group is incredibly helpful. We’re primarily working with Alex King who has offered expertise in setting up our business and drafting contracts, NDAs and policy agreements. We look forward to working with Alex into the future. I highly recommend the services at Bend Law Group to any new or prospective business owners.

You are going to love the good folks over at the Bend Law Group! I recently worked with the Bend Law Group, PC to set up a professional corporation for a mutual client. They are extremely knowledgable and very easy to work with. I will not hesitate to collaborate with them again.

My business partner and I have retained Tucker Cottingham of Bend Law Group. We are first time business owners and quickly realized we needed help. Tucker has helped us to get our business running. We left the initial consultation with clear idea everything we needed to hit the ground running. He helped us draft our first big contract and has a wealth of referrals for other business services. He is patient and is always a phone call away for Q&A. We are looking forward to many prosperous years ahead with Tucker on our team.

I talked to a number of law firms when I was starting my business, and considered using Legal Zoom. I connected with Tucker at Bend, and decided to use their services. Tucker has been terrific. The package deal covered all of the basic needs to getting my business running, setting up an operating agreement, and dealing with appropriate registration and licensing at a reasonable price. But beyond the basics, Tucker was always available and patient and accommodating with numerous questions.
In addition to legal services, Bend was terrific at connecting me with other services that I needed as a small business just getting off the ground: human resources legal support, insurance brokers, and payroll vendors. Overall, Bend has been terrific and I would certainly recommend them and refer them to anyone.

I recently requested the services of Alex King, Business Attorney at Bend Law Group and was very pleased with the excellent services he provided. My consultation with Alex King was extremely helpful, concise, rigorous and reliable. Alex extended the service by responding to additional questions by email and his answers were precious and professionally documented. I certainly recommend using his services.

Alex is the best lawyer I’ve ever worked with. I had a start-​up case with him, he always replies my emails in a timely manner, his works were attend-​to-​details, he is honest on billing, and he gave good advices to protect me as his client, his is very knowledgable. I was totally satisfied. Strongly recommended!

I’ve posted plenty of review for restaurants, tourist destinations and bars, but have never felt inclined to post a review for business services… this is until now. I have NEVER felt as supported, reassured and empowered in making decisions as I have when working with Alex King, a member of the Bend Law Group.
I am a speech language pathologist who embarked on a crazy journey to create a professional start up with a business partner in another related medical field. After attempting to navigate the complicated California legal system by ourselves, and then another individual, we threw up our hands and searched for legal counsel. We had interviewed a few lawyers when we encountered Alex. His positive attitude, start up spirit and ability to dig in deep into California law to make our practice happen (even before signing on the dotted line) was encouraging from the start. Alex went beyond the call of duty making extra calls, contacting our professional boards, and finding a way to allow for our two fields to be filed under one clinic. We are now proud to say that we are the only private practice in San Francisco with both speech and hearing services offered. We have continued to use Alex’s services to secure a lease, and send countless questions his way. He has become the go to person for questions, and a friend. We look forward to many more years of working with Alex!

I have had the pleasure of working with the Alex King at the Bend Law Group a number of times with a variety of mutual clients. At every turn I have found Alex to be responsive and interested in helping my clients solve their pressing matters.
Alex takes the time to make sure that the client understands the issues and the various choices so that a proper and informed decision is made. I know that when I refer a client to him he will take the utmost care of them which is always important to me.

Doug is incredible! I have been using him for almost two years to get advice and services to keep my business above par. He has helped me and my husband establish our businesses in San Francisco while we were abroad. He has helped me with my client contracts and has helped out my friends and business owners back in Canada to help establish their business in the United States.
I highly recommend that you use Doug for anything to do with your business.

After a year of working with Mr. Bend and his crew, I’ve started recommending their services to my colleagues. Highly professional, to the point, and very knowledgeable. Use them — they’re great!

Doug is fantastic. Incredibly professional, diligent, and responsive.
He took the time to explain several very important things that were of critical importance. He also does not nickle and dime his clients, and is instead invested in a long term relationship.
Highly recommended!

Doug and team has been amazing over the years. Not only are they responsive, they’ve got your back. Was very good with hours and charges keeping (me) the client in mind.
I’ve recommended him to several people as he’s the best business lawyer in SF. Everyone has had a good experience. Helped me draft up paperwork for an acquisition. Everything went smooth.
One of the best qualities about Bend Law Group is they know when they shouldn’t be involved. I came to Doug with a problem and he said he wasn’t the solution. It wasn’t his area of expertise. He referred me to another attorney in SF that’s been amazing.
Highly recommended!

Doug and his team are high responsive, provide quick turn-​around on the items they take on and are highly ethical when it comes to taking on client projects. Doug will be the first to let you know when another attorney may be another fit and will make the introduction for you. He is all about ensuring you get the best service at a fair price that is leveraging his expertise. For this reason Doug has become our first stop for any legal issues as we know they will either get it done swiftly and accurately — they’ve even found issues with our prior contracts that much larger firms had done for us — OR — they’ll send us on to the contact we need to get the job done.
Can’t recommend them highly enough!

Doug is smart, concise and not full of shit. 5 stars all the way. He is great at helping a company form its foundation correctly right from the start. Also, if something is outside of his laser accurate expertise he will not try to keep the job in house, he will make the referral that is most going to assist u in achieving your legal and structural goals.
Bonus,
Honest
Real
Clever
And he has a kick ass office
Thx Doug
