Frequently Asked Questions
I have a great realtor(Dalali). Why do I also need a lawyer?
While realtors are experts at finding properties and negotiating prices, they are not legally permitted to provide legal advice or litigate disputes. A real estate lawyer ensures the transfer of ownership is valid, checks for "hidden" legal traps in the contract, and protects your interests if the deal turns sour.
What Should I Do if I’m Arrested?
If you’re arrested, remain calm and avoid making any statements to the police without your attorney present. Contact a lawyer immediately to protect your rights and guide you through the legal process.
What exactly is a 'Title Search' and why does it matter?
Think of a title search as a background check for the property. We look for:
Liens: Unpaid debts from the previous owner.
Easements: Someone else's right to use your land (like a utility company).
Encroachments: A neighbor's fence or shed that is actually on your property.
Finding these before you close prevents you from inheriting someone else’s legal headaches.

Why shouldn't I just use a standard online contract template?
Online templates are "one-size-fits-none." They often fail to account for specific state laws or unique industry nuances. A customized commercial agreement ensures that your specific risks are mitigated, not just some generic hypothetical ones.
How Can I Protect My Rights During an Investigation?
Stay silent and avoid answering questions without your lawyer present. Request an attorney immediately to ensure your rights are protected throughout the investigation process.
What is 'Tax Planning' versus 'Tax Preparation'?
Tax Prep is looking in the rear-view mirror to report last year's income.
Tax Planning is looking through the windshield to structure future transactions (like selling a business or buying property) to minimize the tax hit before it happens.

How do legal solutions help with 'Founder Disputes'?
By drafting a robust Shareholder or Operating Agreement early on, we create a "business prenup." This defines exactly what happens if a partner wants to leave, isn't performing, or if there is a deadlock in decision-making.
I received a notice from the tax authorities. Should I be worried?
Not necessarily, but you should be proactive. Many notices are automated errors. However, responding incorrectly can trigger a full audit. We review the notice, determine its validity, and handle the communication so you don't accidentally say something that increases your liability.
How Do I Know if I Need a Lawyer for My Case?
If you're facing legal issues that could affect your rights, finances, or future, it's best to consult a lawyer. They can provide guidance and ensure you're making informed decisions.
What Is the Process for Filing a Lawsuit or Legal Claim?
The process typically involves filing a complaint, serving the defendant, and going through pre-trial procedures like discovery. Your lawyer will guide you through each step, from gathering evidence to potentially going to trial.
