Common questions
Questions clients ask first.
General information about California law, not legal advice for your situation.
Do I really need a lawyer to review a contract?
For anything significant, yes. The clauses that matter most, like indemnity, termination and fees, are easy to miss and expensive to fix later.
Should my contract have an attorney fee clause?
Often, yes. It lets the winning side recover reasonable attorney fees, which discourages weak claims. Whether it helps you depends on your position.

As a full-time real estate professional in Beverly Hills for the past 18 years, I have worked with many legal experts, and my experience with this landlord-tenant attorney was exceptional. … Thanks to their brilliant strategy, the tenant vacated without needing to go to trial, saving me significant time, stress, and expense.
As an attorney myself, I'm very selective about who I work with, and I can confidently say this firm did an outstanding job. … Within just a few emails, the landlord became responsive and began addressing maintenance requests promptly and professionally.
Very grateful to Mr. Manavi for representing me against a insurance company that was trying to deny me equitable payment in the repair of my childhood home after a negligent plumber. Mr. Manavi advocated fiercely, expertly, and strategically to secure a favorable outcome.
