California
Customer:
Interested in creating a vehicle lease company in Carlsbad, CA.
I've already purchased $500k worth in electric vehicles but want to ensure I'm caught up with:
- Proper licenses needed to become a Lessor
- Cost of drafting a lease to start leasing out vehicles
- All insurance and liability protections are in place for legal and financial protection
- Amount of cars I can lease out in California as the company grows
The LLC is HQ in Carlsbad, CA.
I believe this is the start of a truly remarkable business and I'm looking for a legal professional to assist as the company expands.

Letter of Intent
Customer:
I want to purchase a small online business. I'm not sure where to begin. The business is valued somewhere between 30k and 80k. Funding is 100% secured and this is my first purchase. I do not own a business, I don't know how to draft a letter of intent and I don't know what legal documents are needed. Specifically I want to know considerations and steps. I’ve been looking into this for a few weeks, and I keep getting overwhelmed. I don’t want to mess anything up.

I completely understand how purchasing a business for the first time can feel overwhelming, especially the legal side of the house.
Just to clarify a few things I have a better sense of the situation and can give you a good answer.
1. Are you purchasing the business (assets, liabilities, etc) or just the assets?
2. Do you have a general idea of how the business is structured, like an LLC, corporation, etc?
3. What exactly do you know about its operations so far-customer base, revenue history, or anything else?

Hello, I have a client that is refusing to pay invoices for the past three months. This recently came up and I am not sure how to resolve it or what options I have.

Cease and Desist
Customer:
Customer leaving false reviews about me online. It is harming my business. How can I make this customer stop? I run a small business, and a former customer has been posting false, negative reviews about my services on several platforms. The claims are completely untrue, and I think they’re doing it out of spite because we didn’t give them a refund. It’s hurting my reputation, and I’m losing business. What can I do to stop this?

Defamation, especially when it affects your business reputation, is a serious matter. Here are the steps you can take to address false reviews:
1. Document Everything: Take screenshots of the reviews, including timestamps, usernames, and any responses you’ve posted.
2. Respond Professionally: If you haven’t already, respond to the reviews calmly and factually. Avoid engaging emotionally, as this can escalate the situation.
3. Report to Platforms: Most review sites have policies against false reviews. Report the reviews and provide evidence that they are false.
4. Send a Cease-and-Desist Letter: A formal letter from an attorney can often stop the behavior without further legal action.
Could you share more details about the reviews, such as...

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
