This guy is ONLY after the money, and I should have known from the start. He pocketed more than $8000 and DID not do his job; passed on my files to paralegals and only met with me to sign contract and receive my check. All is well if the forms to be submitted are no brainer and I ALWAYS prepared everything myself, but he won't follow up and put his own nose in the matter. I was with this office for a few years and almost always only met with assistants and had to repeatedly call the office or email to be able to talk to him personally; when my immigration petition was denied at the beginning of this year, due to this office NOT providing the documentation that I had submitted and re-submitted on several occasions, he told me (AFTER THE FACT and AFTER pocketing all my money, which took me a couple of years to pay) that the case "was slated for failure from the beginning"! Although I have the qualifications required, I then turned down an appeal as the whole petition had been VERY poorly documented and submitted, which was very obvious once I finally had copies of my files in my hands: a high school kid would have done a much better job, both in presentation AND in properly documenting the petition. He did not lift a finger in my case and I would have liked to sue him had I had a few hundred thousand dollar at my disposal just for this. After several other consultations with immigration attorneys, both in the state of New Mexico and out of state, I received several opinions confirming my findings and the advice has been that the qualifications and requirements were valid and fully satisfactory for my petition, but failed due to misrepresentation and plain disregard of my case. I really do not understand how this firm can have 'excellent' rating.... and the more I do research on this guy, the more I find people who had either met with him in the past or asked for consultations and were very poorly impressed. I recently switched to a 'less experienced' and 'smaller' firm and successfully resolved my case with one 10th of the cost. read more

Hi. My name is Larry Donahue, and I'm the founder of Law 4 Small Business. In general, I think it's bad form to comment and rate one's own business, but it appears I cannot comment on a comment in Yelp (like you can with Google), so I'm resorting to rating my own firm. I'm doing this, because I just noticed today that I received a 1 out of 5 star rating from a Carlos S below, dated 12/18/2013. I just want everyone to know that Carlos S rated the wrong firm, and therefore his rating and comments are simply false (as they apply to Law 4 Small Business). I'm sorry that Carlos S had a bad experience with some law firm, but my firm does NOT practice immigration law. We're strictly small business attorneys (and one office manager). We don't have any paralegals. I don't even have any clients named Carlos. And, we don't ask for retainers, so we'd never have someone walking in here with a $8,000 check -- it's just not how we do business. We work REALLY HARD on customer service. We strive to return calls back promptly. If we make a mistake (i.e. like going over a fee cap), we admit it and do what's right by our clients. It hurts me to see a rating like Carlos S, but I promise ... that's definitely not our firm. Thank you for listening. Larry. read more

I HIGHLY recommend Larry Donahue and Law 4 Small Business! I found them through a referral from an online legal form service that I had originally used to create a very complicated corporate merger from Texas to New Mexico. My original merge documents from the online form service were rejected by the NM SOS and time was of the essence to create the proper documents to resubmit to the NM SOS. I was a little hesitant try them out since i live in a different part of NM and wasn't able to meet with them face to face, but my hesitation soon disappeared when I started working with Larry. He got on my case right away, and with the help of his associate, I had all the necessary documents quickly and was able to get this resolved and the corporate merger approved. He always answered my questions and was extremely professional and courteous. I never once felt that I was being taken advantage of. I will definitely use Larry and his firm again should I need any more business legal advice. read more

Completely skeptical about hiring a company to file for something so simple I've done before, however the anonymity along with the expertise of having an actual law firm verify your process is essentially "priceless" for what L4SB charges. I ordered the anonymous LLC formation as a holding company and the process was seamless. Jessica C. was no short of amazing from start to current (still have open communication with her as she helps me establish a second entity). Her level of knowledge, effective communication skills and availability provided exceptional customer service! If the fact that I am currently in the process of ordering form them a second time isn't enough for you to purchase one of their packages, I suggest at least reaching out to the number on their website and just inquiring on what you need. read more

I am a small business owner, and was getting close to finalizing an extremely important business deal. Unfortunately, I was blindsided by someone I trusted, and the deal fell through. Struggling to find a way to navigate a wordy and difficult contract, I sought a lawyer to help, and was referred by a friend to Larry. Larry was absolutely invaluable to solving this issue. He provided solid legal advice that allowed my business and I to move forward through chaos and uncertainty. I felt like I was paralyzed by such a blow to my business, but Larry and his expertise made it manageable and clear. I couldn't recommend Larry more. He takes the time and effort to provide you with everything you need to know. He understands small business, and was extremely empathetic to my tough legal situation. Thank you, Larry! read more

Larry was a pleasure to work with - proving to be knowledgeable, insightful, and mindful of our limited budget at the same time. He not only guided us through a maze of intellectual property and trademark issues, but also offered us valuable advice on a variety of associated potential issues that could impact us in the future. His legal skills were solid, his responsiveness was reliable, and the value we felt we received for the money was exceptional. Many attorneys seem more focused on the tracking and accumulation of their billable hours than they are on the empathetic attention to their clients needs. Larry is the antithesis of that bad example - melding impressive professional skills with a practical appreciation of controlling costs for his clients. i highly recommend him and his firm. read more

Larry was wonderful to work with. As many of you other small business owners can attest, we are endlessly busy and our schedules are often not our own. I really appreciated that L4SB was willing to do everything electronically. I didn't need to arrange getting across town for an appointment to sign any documents, or wait for paperwork to come in the mail. After speaking once on the phone we did everything via email and I had the legal document I needed in less than a week. I can't express how important that kind of flexibility and reliability is. I will definitely be using Larry for any future needs. Ariane Buchanan read more

Larry helped us with a small business matter that needed some legal expertise. He was prompt in responding to our request for information, as well as generating the legal documents we needed. We were going to be out of town during some of the negotiation processes we were involved in, and we handled it all by email and phone. He was sensitive to our concerns in this matter, as well as our pocket book. Larry was pleasant to deal with and we would definitely recommend him to others with small business matters, documents, etc. It was nice to feel we had someone with his knowledge in our corner! read more

I am so glad I hired Law 4 Small Business. They really helped me with my purchase of a small business, and their understanding of business helped make sure I didn't make any mistakes. I found them highly competent, affordable and fast. I don't normally recommend or rate people on the Internet, but these guys are great and deserve the recognition. If you own a business, and have any legal issues, contracts or other problems, you should give L4SB a call. It doesn't cost anything to call them, and you may just find they can help you save a lot of money by avoiding mistakes. read more

I strongly recommend L4SB for the purposes of setting up an anonymous LLC. Larry Donahue's team and setup is superior to the other anonymous LLC formation companies because it is foundationally designed around maintaining anonymity in the way that other services are not. Remember: this is a "defensive" legal structure - so it makes sense that you want it built by lawyers who know how this game is played. Check out this blog post as an example of what I mean: https://www.l4sb.com/knowledge-base/bad-practice-use-registered-agent-address-company-address/ read more

Excellent service! I stumbled upon this firm by accident while looking for information about LLC formation. I read several very informative blogs and decided to give it a try. Before starting I even called for a question and they ended up addressing even more issues that I did not think I had. I could not be more satisfied! My LLC has been registered in record time and the communication has always been smooth throughout. They delivered what they promised. I intend to continue to use their services in the future. Highly recommended! read more

IP / Copyright Lawsuit: Larry was able to handle a suit against me for selling items on ebay that were in violation of copyright and intellectual property laws. Larry kept me well informed during the entire process. We handled everything via email and phone and he was able to negotiate a much ower settlement than what the plaintiff was seeking. I appreciate Larry's candor and professionalism during a difficult time. I would not hesitate to recommend Larry, and his firm, to anyone seeking an honest and straightforward attorney. read more

Law 4 Small Business provided me with the most pleasant experience ever. From my initial call, until my project was complete I never felt any doubt that I would be satisfied with the end results. Once my project was submitted, Larry kept his word and delivered the final project results in the amount of time agreed upon. My documents looked and read like a well written and executed contractual agreement. Larry was very knowledgeable and offered timely suggestions and professional advice. I am so pleased with the results! read more

This is the first time we've had to hire a lawyer for our small business needs. Larry was recommended by our consultant, and we were thrilled to have found someone so honest, moral, and hardworking to represent us. He was always respectful and attentive to our legal and financial concerns. What I found most impressive was his desire to maintain a good relationship among the partners in our business. He was thorough and honestly had our best interests at heart throughout the process. Very strongly recommended! read more

Not well versed in the case I brought to them and still charged over 2500 dollars for poor uneducated answers. Stay far away from this business as they will say they have experience and do not the education to back their answers. I would never recommend!! you guys charged 240 for your own engagement agreement (not research) and many more charges you said I would be informed about and not once did you call us and talk about what you were researching. No Communication what so ever!! read more

Mr. Donahue with L4SB is very thorough and knowledgeable when it comes helping others starting a new business. He helped me set up my new business for a yoga studio. What would have taken me several months to figure out on my own, he had the answers to all of my questions as we spoke. Mr Donahue is well versed in lease negotiations and has his client's best interest for protection of their new business. I would highly recommend using L4SB for any business related needs. read more

I was referred to L4SB by a friend who used L4SB to incorporate his business. So I called L4SB and spoke to Larry. He answered all my questions in great detail without any pressure to buy. One advantage of going with L4SB (vs a generic/cheap firm) is that L4SB is actually familiar with both the tax implications and the legal implications of where you incorporate. Based on my research, I believe L4SB is the "gold standard" for someone wanting to incorporate/form LLC. read more

Larry's firm understands the specific legal issues that a small business might find itself in. As an entrepreneur, Larry understands the nitty gritty of running a business as well as any potential legal issues. This a a big contrast with many law firms where attorneys warn you of every little ridiculous scenario because it allows them to fill their billing hours. Fixed prices and an understanding of business. That's what you get with Law 4 Small Business. read more

I have been working with him for the past few months on a business contract. I was going to use someone locally but I thought I would give L4SB a try and I am happy I did. His flat rate contract review was spot on. Larry has advised me on several aspects of the contract with my best interest in mind. If it was not for him I may have entered an unfavorable deal. I strongly recommend L4SB for any small business looking for legal advice. read more
