I needed Carbon Law Group for very specific and narrow legal help. They handled everything beautifully from beginning to end. Everyone, from Pankaj Raval, Carbon's founder, to his entire team was just great. Things were done in a timely, respectful manner and explained with clarity. Their people are efficient, kind...and they know what they're doing. Highly recommend this firm! read more

I had an emergency moment and I was freaking out! Thank God, Cristal called me back, going over everything to figure it out! I wouldn't have slept that night if it weren't for her call! Truly reliable! Truly professional! read more

Pankaj is an excellent attorney. As a general counsel myself, I consider Pankaj to be a highly valuable attorney partner. I would highly recommend Carbon Law Group, especially as a partner to corporations and general counsels. read more

Carbon law is a great law firm. They are very knowledgeable about all things business. From forming corporations to Intellectual property law read more

Truly impressed with Carbon Law Group. Their services are worth every penny and their customer service is just as amazing. We will be using Carbon Law Group for all of our business legal counsel. Don't look anywhere else, I promise you won't regret it! read more

I am the owner a small fashion business and in April I was harassed by a suspicious copyright law firm and it became very stressful they were asking for $30k in damages. I reached out to Carbon law group and they helped me take the best decision with my case, ultimately I decided to find resolution and solve the case, the suspicious firm did not contact us again. I'm very happy with the service and highly recommend. We looked over the case together and I really appreciate everything they've done to solve this! Thank you! read more

If I could put 10 stars I would. I came in for a meeting to discuss all things small business related. A friend and myself are starting a small business and basically wanted to ask questions to make sure everything would go smoothly. I sent Pankaj my questions and when the meeting started ( on time I might add), He barely had to look at my questions because we flew by them so quickly in a natural free flowing conversation. I called my soon to be business partner on the phone and he was able to virtually sit in on the meeting to get clarity and also ask questions of his own. We discussed a plethora of things, some of which were just basic business questions for how to open a small business and he helped us with that. All Around great guy for anything Business related. Will absolutely be using him as my official go to lawyer. He's friendly, upbeat, talks fast but in a professional, " I am not here to waste your time even if i'm paid by the hour, but to provide you with whatever information you need in a timely fashion". I liked that he wasn't there to up-sale me on other things his company does, recommendations of course which I hope we will take him up on his offer, but not pushy or demanding. Very easy going and KNOWLEDGEABLE. That's key! He is very knowledge about a lot of things, marketing, business start ups, patents, all things trademark and even think tank sort of things to help with ideas and branding of a company. Just ask him and I'm sure he's been there and done that. He gives discounts too ! :) Office is on the 26th floor of the U.S. Bank building. YES, THE BUILDING WITH THE SLIDE! super stoked about that aspect. Parking was EASY! He recommended downloading an app called LUXE valet. Its free valet service with his promo code so just ask if your interested. Such a cool company too. Oh, and they have THINK PODS THERE!! How Cool! read more

Pankaj & Vikas are awesome. I found them via yelp, and I can definitely understand the high reviews and raves about their law office. I called for a consultation for help on if we have a case, and if its worth pursing. They were able to give me a cheaper, alternative way to resolve my problem. No wants to start or go through a lawsuit, and they understand that. They care if my problem gets resolve, and if it is without litigation, even better....that is when you know this office cares to make a difference in this world. Anyone going through legal issues, understand the frustration and emotional distress in this process. They're great listeners, and respond to your concerns. Not only did I get a call from Vikas, he was able to do a high level review of my information, and set up a more thorough call with Pankaj. I like their style!! I was able to gain a good understanding in the call, but most importantly, I really appreciate both their patience in hearing my problem rant. You don't meet much sympathtic or compassionate people, and it means the world when someone finally understands. You want an Attorney who understands and feels what client's are going through. You want someone who will be willing to fight what is right. Both Pankaj & Vikas are on top of their work. The emails I receive back were almost instant, within an hour. And I got a follow-up call. They're really on top of it. Yelp made me a believer in legal reviews now too. I forgot to list a bit of what our problem was, they understand and were able to give some tips on: Condo, slumlord, landlord/tenants or illegal renting, ineffective HOA issues. read more

Pankaj was exactly what the doctor ordered! Knowledgeable, effective and super helpful. Im so relieved to have found such great legal counsel for my business! read more

The Carbon group helped me get my startup going! From setting up my S Corp to acting as an advisor their team has been exceptional in their service. Having worked with multiple law firms I've found their pricing to be competitive. Final note - one our last deals, their team went above and beyond to deliver legal documents just in time. That deal went through read more

I'm blessed to say that my business has been growing amid the pandemic situation and it became necessary to have a lawyer in retaining. From a personal referral, I hired my lawyer Judy to review/draft all of the contracts that are needed to execute large scale transactions such as NDNCA, commission agreements, IMFPA, etc. She's always readily available even during off hours when I need some quick consultations! It really gives you a peace of mind knowing that you have a solid legal support behind your business operation. read more

Carbon was super helpful in helping me understand my legal options navigating a business situation. I would not hesitate to consult with them again! read more

Pankaj was able to get my trademark done when another firm couldn't. Zach kept me up to date on the little things throughout the process. I'm working with them on a couple copyrights as well. Book a consultation and see to yourself. He's very professional and just by talking to him you know he knows what he's doing. Very articulate and will explain things in a way where a normal person like me could understand. I'd recommend my friends and anyone else needing patent/trademark/copyright type of lawyers to work with Pankaj and team. read more

I called them to schedule a consultation, and was able to quickly set up an initial phone meeting for the next day at no cost to me. Judy Yen, one of their attorneys, called me right on schedule. I explained to her what I was trying to accomplish, my concerns, and my present as well as potential future needs. Though the conversation was brief and necessarily general at this point, Judy was able to give clarity as to what my next moves should be and the ways in which Carbon Law could help me move ahead. It's early in the process, and I'm still not entirely sure how things will unfold, but I feel very good about working with Judy when the need arises. Very reassuring experience in an uncertain moment. read more

Pankaj and his team Zach and Vikas were extremely helpful in resolving our problem. We were being asked by Create space to verify our rights to publish books on their site in our name. We were given direction on how to resolve this issue with a letter that took care of the problem in the first run. We will continue to depend on this valuable teams input and guidance. It gives us great relief to have someone on our side!! thank you John Hughes President of Universal Shaiva Fellowship read more

I just started my own e-commerce company and needed help trademarking my business name. I did a ton of research on law firms in my area and ended up choosing Carbon Law Group. I am so happy I did! The customer service here is absolutely incredible! I asked so many questions and both Cristal and Tiffany were patient, informative, and reassuring. They were extremely open and honest about the overall process from how it worked to the costs involved. Prices are very fair and reasonable. I highly recommend! read more

New Review - Received a call from one of the senior personnel (lawyer), Pankaj. He took the time to speak to me and was very professional. Despite my review below which only pertains to the person picking up the phone, the talent and legal advice given was great. Too bad they no longer provide legal service in the capacity that I will "potentially" need them. But he answered every question and gave me the type of advice I was looking for originally and what you would expect from any good lawyer. Thank you very much! Old Review - Just called to see if I can get legal advice only. Something that would have taken 2 minutes if that. Was quickly turned (call lasted 15 seconds) say they are not taking on cases like that at the moment. I asked for quick legal advice Sir... I am not asking anyone to take on a case. That indicates that they are not even listening to my question before turning me away. Not sure I would trust this place if they can't even bother listening. read more

Mr. Pankaj is a "above and beyond" type of Attorney. Something tells me he may be this way everyday! I initially called for a quote on a Non Provisional Patent, Pankaj does IP Law and specializes in Trademarks, no one at his firm could assist me at the time but he didn't let that stand in his way of being super helpful! He reffered me to a buddy of his who does exactly what I need. Mr. Pankaj was thorough and effective in his communication; he made sure to let me know his friend works at a "mid size firm" so that I would have a better understanding of budget, Mr. Pankaj didn't waste anyone's time and is naturally resourceful. I can totally see how he can get the job done for anyone who walks through his doors! read more

Pankaj is pretty darn fabulous. I called him in a bit of a panic because a woman contacted me about me providing consulting services to her. Well, I had no idea what I should charge the woman, how to negotiate my rates and services, how to protect myself as far as trademarked information, etc. Pankaj and I made an appointment for two days later and Pankaj took care of everything. He addressed all of my issues, provided me with the rate to charge her, created a proposal for me to present to the woman, outlined all of my benefits and services, etc. I just left a meeting with the woman and she agreed to the proposal without batting an eyelash. It was beautiful! I am so glad I contacted Pankaj! read more

I scheduled an initial consultation with Judy Yen from Carbon Law Group to discuss my options for setting up my nonprofit. The process of setting up an appointment was smooth and she was knowledgeable and professional. Judy really helped me understand the legal hurdles involved in getting my nonprofit going. I look forward to working with her in the near future. read more

Very fast response, friendly and professional. Appreciate your info indeed. If we need to take further actions, will definitely be in touch again. read more

Pankaj helped me to straighten out some very difficult tenants (a couple). After one of the tenants lost his job, he broke lease, stopped paying rent, and hired a lawyer to attempt to scare me with trumped up nonsense about habitability issues and various other threats. Pankaj managed to talk sense to their lawyer, managed to get the tenants to cover all my expenses including legal, and got them to sign a promise to leave within two weeks or face liquidated damages. The tenants left without incident, and I expect they will not dispute their considerably reduced security deposit. Pankaj was very friendly, efficient, and fair. I will retain his services in the future for business contracts, tenant management, and other legal services. Thanks, Pankaj! read more

We urgently needed to seek the consultation of trademark attorney. After seeing all the positive reviews on Yelp, we decided to call Pankaj's office. We were so glad that Pankaj was able to set up an appointment with us on that same day to review our trademark search results, as well as to schedule a consultation with us in 3 hours! Just an hour before our meeting, Pankaj called to postpone our meeting to later in the evening because he needed more time to review our extensive search results. We were actually happy he did so, because we knew he was dedicated to his work, to his clients, and would rather delay the meeting than to rush to get the job done without a thorough analysis. Overall we greatly appreciate Pankaj's professionalism and expertise, and would strongly recommend him! read more

As a foreigner with a little knowledge of US law, I am so glad that I have found Pankaj through yelp, who can help and direct me with any legal matter from protecting my business and personal assets, starting up my business in the right way and proof reading any contracts before I sign it. Pankaj has been very friendly, patient, honest and understanding of my situation. He gave me a very rich insight during our meeting and address all my concerns in details. He even refer me to his friend who can help me even better in the area that is not part of his expertise. I am in search of a professional personal lawyer who I can truly trust to guide and direct me in the right path during my venture in this new land, especially for starting up a new business, and I am glad that I have found Pankaj. I highly recommend him, and thank you very much, Pankaj! = ) read more

Our company was going through a change in management and needed a lawyer skilled in delicate negotiation tactics to ensure a smooth and amicable transition. We contacted attorney Pankaj Raval to handle this matter for us, and we are very pleased with the result. Unfortunately the split was not amicable, but attorney Pankaj Raval was able to navigate through the emotional and professional issues surrounding the separation. He was successful in executing a solid Separation Agreement, which allowed all parties to avoid a long end expensive litigation. We were very pleased with his knowledge and professionalism, and comes highly recommended by us for anyone looking to legally separate from a partner or partial owner. Christopher Hardy President Global Business Screening read more

I sought council from Pankaj on a matter of business law and a dispute between business partners. I needed a lawyer right away so I went to yelp to see who would be a great fit. The reviews here were super helpful and I new Pankaj was the lawyer to work with. I called him late one evening to setup a consultation, expecting to get his voicemail, and instead he picked up. Ever since hiring him to represent me I've been blown away by his responsiveness, clear communication and his willingness to serve. He is on it. His council has saved me time and money and and I highly recommend his services to others. read more

Pankaj is professional with high integrity. Being an entrepreneur for 20 years, I've worked with many lawyers, there are good ones but not enough that are as professional in that way, Pankaj is respectful, know his trade, priced fair, responsible and committed to his work. He always show up, always quick to respond and a pleasure to work with. Feel free to contact me if you wish. read more

Understanding all the legal details involved with starting a new business was really frustrating for me and my business partner. Hayk truly made it easy for us. He is a knowledgeable, professional, patient and insightful lawyer. Not only he went though every detail with us, he educated us and made sure we understood those details. Thank you Carbon Law Group for doing an amazing job for us. read more

Its hard to find a good lawyer you can trust who will give you honest advise. I had to get a deadbeat tenant out of my rental property and Pankaj did a great job. He handled the issue at a reasonable cost (my biggest fear working with lawyers) and his communication was great. Other lawyers could learn from him, he got the job done with my goals in mind instead of just working to rack up billable hours. I will definitely contact him in the future should an issue arise. read more

As someone with experience in the legal support industry, I have seen first hand the way attorneys operate. Most often, they place the dollar in front of their clients needs by organizing their schedule according to who's thrown the most cash their way. Mr. Pinnamaneni in particular, is a shining example that attorneys exist who really do live by a code of ethics beyond what gets them more rounds of free golf at the local country club. Mr. Pinnamaneni helped us in length with a relatively simple real estate transaction that I know in his line of work is small potatoes, yet he made me feel like I had a lawyer in my pocket, and at my disposal. Incredible service, timely response and a fantastic demeanor from beginning to end make me happy to give a shining 5 star to you all. Immense thanks! read more

This guy took 2 weeks to return a call and he became apprehensive when he realized that I knew the legal procedures and that he wouldn't be able to lie to me or charge me exorbitant prices for his services. They supposedly specialize in IP law I'd recommend Joe Carney professional & Hugh success rate. read more

Writing this review very late since I recently started using yelp. I got to know about Pankaj through a family member. They had good experience working with him in the past. In January 2014, I met with an accident. I was on a bicycle and a car driver opened his car door without looking back. I had a head on hit and got severe open fracture on my left elbow. Which is a permanent injury. The driver didnt help me and the police did not file any case! With very few evidences, I was skeptical about filing case on him. Spend huge amount of money on my injuries. Later by suggestion of my family member, I had a phone call with Pankaj, he was very helpful. And gave me confidence that we could win. He worked hard on the case and smartly handled it. Within a year we won the case! We didnt even need to go to any case hearing. It got settled before that. Other than being a smart lawyer, Pankaj is a great human being. As a filmmaker, I put my project for crowdfunding. The movie was message oriented and was on a good cause. Pankaj was the first one to donate money in that. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would surely give. Great experience with him. And I totally recommend him to everyone. read more

I am very proud to give Pankaj his 50th review on Yelp! As a person with experience in law, I can tell you Mr. Raval runs his business with integrity, honesty and provides simple solutions to complex problems. He has helped me and my company for the past year and I look forward to many more years of doing business together. read more

Pankaj has been quite helpful to our business, and is fantastic to work with. I am a 50% partner in a web design and development agency, and we needed assistance on an operating agreement and contract for use with our clients. Pankaj was willing to work with our limited budget and proved invaluable in both of the above areas -- both in terms of drafting the actual contract and talking us through the major areas we needed to consider, as well as answering any questions we could throw at him. I feel as though I have a much stronger grasp on the underlying issues now, and I would highly recommend his services to any small business owner. read more

First of all, make sure you say his name right. LOL! It's "PUNKAGE". That's how to say his name. Very cool guy who actually gets stuff done for you, and ON TIME. He has called, emailed, texted and tried to communicate with me in any way possible to let me know about important deadlines involving business matters. He is really "on the money". Not cheap but reasonable rates. Highly recommend. read more

I found Mr Raval on yelp while I was looking for a business Lawyer. From the moment I gave him a call and set up an appointment I was comfortable with him. We set up an appointment to discuss my business matters. He is very well informed and knowledgable and willing to make things happen to the best of his abilities.. I highly recommend and look forward to working with him! read more

I met PK at a tech event while I was active in the startup community in Los Angeles. When the startup I was involved with needed legal advice, we turned to PK for guidance and counsel. His unbiased professionalism was exemplary while handling a difficult situation setting a fledgling startup on a path to proper formation. He was sensitive to the initial requests, reliable for executing the work, and understanding of the evolution as the path veered from the planned course. PK has my full recommendation and I hope to work with him again in the future when I have the opportunity. read more

We met Pankaj based on his great review on yelp. In fact we have met a clever and conscious man with great and very useful professional expertise. We can easily and confidently recommend his services and his team. He's efficient and rapid in his services, and very dedicated to your success. read more

They were amazing for corporate matters remotely. They filed a INC dissolution for us. Even though I wasn't physically in LA they followed up and resolved everything digitally without me needing to come there. read more

I had scheduled a free consultation with the Carbon Law Group to discuss the legal matters of forming a corporation with my partners. Mr. Pankaj was very accommodating, and provided me with plenty of information and offered his help in the future. He treats all his customers with respect, including minors. read more
