California attorney providing contract review, demand letters, business formation, and strategic legal consultations. I'm Sergei Tokmakov, you work with me directly, not a junior associate.
Free, no signup. Get strategy before paying for a letter.
Higher-value engagements where a generic contract reviewer or volume firm is the wrong fit. Each links to a dedicated scope and pricing page.
Selling a California home to a short-term-rental buyer who wants license, permit, and revenue indemnities. I redline the addendum and write a written risk memo so the deal closes without leaving you on the hook for post-closing STR enforcement.
Settling an old California money judgment now held by a debt buyer. Limited-scope review of the EJ-100, the chain of assignments, statute-of-limitations, and the settlement / satisfaction documents. Optional negotiation phase if you want the deal negotiated, not just reviewed.
Active-deal APA redline plus a written gap-and-risk memo. Tiered: a $575 written attorney consultation for smaller deals, a fixed-fee full redline for active M&A, and $240/hour for follow-up or document overflow. Cross-jurisdictional flagging where applicable.
Audit + roadmap for solo and small firms putting AI into intake, research, drafting, and triage without violating ABA Formal Opinion 512 or California Rule of Professional Conduct 1.1. Optional implementation package on top of the audit.
Qualified spendthrift trust under Wyoming statute, including charging-order protections for single-member LLCs. Strongest US domestic asset-protection regime when set up with the right structure and timing.
MSA, order form, DPA, and SOW review for both vendors and customers. Two-tier: a $240 written attorney consultation for fast read-and-recommend, or a $575 full redline with attorney comments and up to three rounds of revisions.
The post-response phase after a $575 or $1,200 demand letter, especially when the other side responds with counsel or a conditional settlement offer. Includes counter-letter, written settlement negotiations, and one settlement-agreement review through settlement or impasse.
Every dedicated service page, grouped by what you actually need. Click through to scope, pricing, and engagement details.

No retainer for most engagements. PayPal links go to the canonical NCP for that exact tier. Where a fixed link is not yet posted, email me and I send the right link by reply.
Standard turnaround on flat-fee tiers is usually 3-5 business days after I receive the documents. Rush 24 to 48-hour turnaround may be available for an added fee. The site minimum is $575; older lower-tier price points are no longer offered.
