I'm so grateful and happy that I found Kalia Law PC. I had no knowledge of businesses in the fitness industry, but Claire understood and provided me with what I needed.

Wow! I was so pleased with my interaction with Claire that I felt compelled to write a review immediately after getting off the phone with her. I was looking for attorneys to get some advice regarding working as an independent contractor, and she was the most responsive one that I had found. She gave me honest advice over the phone without any charge and helped me figure out what to do, while offering her help for any future needs I may have. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Highly recommended. read more

Requiring and seeking legal counsel can be a very intimidating and even scary experience. However, Claire flips that right on its head. She is so patient and kind and you can tell by the way she listens and responds that she really cares about her clients. She is super responsive and thorough and she definitely seems personally invested in your success. What a great person to have on your side! There is definitely a reason why all of her reviews are 5 stars except one or two outliers. You see that everywhere with even the best businesses. Some people are impossible to please and will be unhappy and bitter no matter what you do. That reflects more on them than on the businesses they are reviewing. Claire is a fantastic lawyer and a very warm and engaged person as all her 5 star reviews suggest. The type of individualized attention that Claire provides is something you really can't get at big law firms or anywhere else. She tailors her services to exactly what you need and doesn't try to upsell you or bill you for things that are not essential. She really knows her stuff too! If you want an attorney who cares about you as a person and who will go above and beyond to help you out, I'd definitely recommend contacting Claire. read more

If you would like to understand your legal rights, I highly recommend Claire. She is wonderful to work with! Tips: -It is recommended to provide Claire clear concise information/documents to your question(s) as it will steer the path of your legal consultation with her. read more

Used Claire to help set up my LLC and to review a contract. Very nice, responsive and easy to deal with. She made the whole process stress free, which is exactly what you want! read more

What can I say, after two weeks of trying to get a hold of her for consultation, and them switching our appointment last minute a couple of times, she finally calls. During our conversation I mention that the AT&T is doing cell tower maintenance in our area and reception isn't great. So 5 minutes into our call, the call disconnected. You think she called back ? Nope. Email follow-up ? Nope. Her highness is more important then her possible future clients. If you are looking for a lawyer that is engaged, passionate, and actively seeking new clients, look elsewhere. read more

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. :) read more

She is very patient about answering all my questions. She is very responsive and provides excellent insight! I highly recommend her! read more

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. read more

The reviews on here prompted me to reach out to Claire for our legal needs. She's knowledgeable, but does not offer much guidance. She also requires scheduling complimentary 15 minute calls any time one needs to get a hold of her. It seems to me that with all of the positive reviews she's been getting, she's become busy to the point where she treats certain customers like just a number. Difficult to justify working with her considering her relatively high fees. read more

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 read more

If you're a small business or aspiring entrepreneur, look no further than Kalia Law! read more

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? read more

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. read more

Most importantly, she's incredibly patient and takes time to thoroughly understand my questions and formulate answers that I can understand. read more
