Investment attorney in los angeles county or ventura county

[Michael B.]

Hi BP friends! 

Given how important this step is in our journey we are really doing a lot of research on it but also wanted to reach out to anyone who may have a great referral. We are in need of a real estate investor savvy attorney either in los angeles county or ventura county. Would prefer referrals of attorneys that you have actually worked with vs having "heard their name through the grapevine". Any thoughts or experience on a flat rate fee for contract drafting vs hourly rate?

Thanks in advance for your help!

My family has been in the local legal community since the 70s. While I have never worked with Bill Hair, I can tell you he is the most respected man in business/real estate litigation in the county. When looking up his name to get you his contact info, I came across another firm that sounded impressive. You may want to read the article as a back up option.  Finally, there is a very small solo practitioner I know that is a genius and has a passion for real estate and contracts, his name is Matt Auric.

Jillian Sidoti is not local, she is out of San Diego, but I have attended her seminar on crowd funding and she is one of the best in the state at setting up rock solid platforms for investors in the CA.  She has a great deal of experience with all levels of real estate investing. I do not think she would be interested in only contract drafting, but she is a powerful tool to have in your arsenal.
