Claire and her staff are wonderful to work with! You’ll get your questions answered and the advice you need at a good rate. How nice to have such friendly and knowledgeable legal business support. Claire has referred us to team members who have helped us grow our Balcony Pets, Inc. network too. You’ll be glad you contracted with her!

Claire’s Appraisal
In the pursuit of starting and protecting a new business, where our strength, knowledge and core values are direct correlated with those whom we select and choose to partner, I found Claire, Kalia Law, PC.
I wasn’t looking for an attorney, I wanted someone that shares my beliefs, the believe in excellence in everything we do, someone that fosters, willing to make a difference at all levels.
She has been instrumental in communicating and educating me on several areas like all the different possibilities of forming a legal entity, service marks, trademarks, patents, etc.
After several months working with Claire, today I can say with confidence that she is a key contributor, she led and enable me to understand, evaluate all the possibilities relevant to my business, letting me decide at my own pace when I was ready what was best for my objectives.
I feel privileged that I got to know Claire, will continue working with her to achieve a win win.
In life our relationships are paramount to our success, and existence.
Thank you for what you have done and who you are.
Sincerely,
Wilson

I’ve done work with a number of different startups, including my own, and have used Claire’s services for everything from checking over employment paperwork to incorporation. She’s the first person I refer people to when they need a good attorney for their budding businesses. I can’t recommend Claire highly enough. She’s incredibly knowledgable and reasonably priced. Most importantly, she’s incredibly patient and takes time to thoroughly understand my questions and formulate answers that I can understand.

Claire came referred to me from someone I trust in the legal world. She got back to me promptly, provided a fair quote that was significantly lower than a second referral I had received, and the work was executed on time and as quoted. What more can you ask for?

KNOWLEDGEABLE, RELIABLE, AND HIGH VALUE
In the last two years working with Claire we’ve launched four new companies, given out tons of shares and dealt with all sorts of employment, compensation, and general business needs that Claire has expertly provided support for. She’s held my hand through the whole process with a sincerity and level of caring I did not expect from a former big firm attorney (and a big one at that!).
EXPERTISE
I was surprised at how many local startups use Claire already, including several parents at my son’s elementary school! It’s rare to ever run into an issue that Claire can’t answer in a prompt and cost effective manner. When she does get stumped she always informs me of the need to research further and gets back to me in a timely manner. I’m an experienced entrepreneur but I tend to gloss over details or sometimes be a little too generous when it comes to compensation and equity. Claire keeps me in check when I’m getting a little too happy with the options and I know with a recent 8 figure valuation for one of my properties she ended up saving me potentially millions! She’s very well connected and has an extensive referral network when my needs exceed her expertise and offerings.
FEES/​RATES
I’m not a big fan of lawyers and their big fees and retainers but I was pleasantly surprised by Claire’s competitive rates and I like the fact that she doesn’t bill you in 15 minute increments if she happens to «think» about your case while on the can! Yes, I’ve had lawyers bill me for thinking on the crapper. I used some fixed cost packages to get the businesses started and hourly rates for general follow up and smaller needs like offer letters, equity/​compensation issues. I hate getting bills, especially from lawyers but I’ve always been pleasantly surprised by her bills. This does not mean she’s a bargain basement lawyer. You get what you pay for and you are paying for an experienced, caring, and thoroughly competent and experienced lawyer who is definitely on your side. One of the most no-​brainer endorsements ever!!!
Not to be too superstitious but I think Claire has brought me good luck — I know we were very lucky to find her. :)

I needed a lawyer to help with my LLC and to write up some contracts for my business. I emailed several firms and Claire replied quickly. She ended up talking to my husband for a very long time, at no charge, offering free advice and suggestions. My husband did talk to other lawyers, all of which seemed too busy or not care. We have been using Claire ever since for all our business needs. If we ever have a question, she is always there to help out and very professional. I highly recommend using her for all your business needs. Not only is she very nice, but actually cares about your business like its her own.

We needed professional help with a sensitive letter to a customer that owes us money and after meeting Ms. Kalia decided that she had not only the expertise and experience to handle this for us, but also the right attitude and approach that was in alignment with our way of doing business. We did get the results we hoped for from the letter and feel fortunate to have found a business attorney we can work with and trust in the event of any future legal needs.
