Great business to work with. They charged me fairly and got everything done in the amount of time and in the way that they said they would. I was extremely skeptical about paying them hourly as so many law firms out there bill hourly with ineffective operations and pass those issues onto their clients with unnecessarily high bills that are unwarranted. They are trustworthy and reliable. I recommend this business. read more

We have been working with Panakos for over a year now with multiple business we own. Their team is a perfect blend of experience and a genuine care for the outcome of their clients. We have done two business formations with Mark and have worked with Aaron and Bonnie on the litigation side and have been impressed with their thoroughness and responsiveness. Would highly recommend their team! read more

I had a great experience with Panakos . I emailed inquiring about information on business start up legal counseling and while it's standard that initial consultation is free, you don't ever expect to really get much feedback to come from it. Not true in this case. It was a great in depth discussion and the consultation was truly valuable. Aaron provided information that I could take away regardless of whether I went with this firm or not. My consultations with other firms were much more underwhelming. I felt very confident after speaking with Aaron at Panakos and got a strong impression that he is experienced in the realm of startup and can provide great value during the business formation process . read more

If I could give Panakos Law 10-stars I would. As a small business owner, going to Adam and Aaron was one of the best decisions I made. To not go into complete details, I had a VERY difficult case and needed advice. The advice lead up to me hiring them to represent me against an opposing party. While I initially met with Aaron, his associate Adam worked on my case. Adam has been so patient dealing with the difficulty of my case and the other party. I can't thank Adam, Aaron and Anna for their continued efforts and care towards me and my business. They uphold so much professionalism and upmost care towards their clients. They really are attentive and to keep their client's best interest a priority. I can't thank them enough for working so hard and helping me rectify the situation I was in. Thank you Panakos Law!!! read more

Aaron called me in the late afternoon and there is no doubt he's working late. He is the first lawyer I have encountered that with such expertise and patience! I even doubt it is a paid service and hurry to hang up the phone. :p Aaron asked a series of very logical questions that lead him to give me the correct advice. Anyone with common sense would know he is a very well trained lawyer with good analytical skills. There is no other lawyer does that, though quote is double the price other lawyers provide. read more

I would like to say a BIG thank you to Aaron and Adam and Mark and also to Anna for all the help, support and the great and amazing JOB they have done to achieve my goals and get things done effectively. They are truly amazing when it comes to Business. Extremely knowledgeable and honest people there. Aaron is famous of his working hard working late hours lifestyle...So there was no such a time when I could not reach out to him when needed. May I say, I feel honored to call him as a friend not only my attorney. Without a moment of hesitation I would strongly refer them to anyone seeking legal help as they are exceptional! Thank you Aaron again! read more

My encounter with Panakos Law Center turned out to be quite an important event in my life. I had the opportunity to discuss the matter at length before I even came in for the first visit because Aaron works late on Monday nights and is often available for Apple Facetime video chats. When I first met with Aaron and Adam at the very nice "Panakos Law Center" office in Little Italy, we went over the details of my business contracts and they explained what the various contracts meant and what my options were moving forward. While I did not know enough to appreciate it at the time, I came to realize that the information Aaron and Adam gave me was accurate and the advice was good. Even most of Aaron's predictions about what the other party would do came true. If I could do it over again, I would listen more carefully and take their advice more seriously. For those of you having your first encounter with a serious legal issue, please take my advice: "Find a lawyer you trust and do what they tell you to do." No matter what you think, you have not done this before and they have done it hundreds of times already. If you are ever in doubt about what to do, then do nothing. Legal matters tend to drag on for a long time - so be prepared for that as well. Once my situation escalated, it got to the point where I needed help from another attorney in another state. Aaron helped me to choose another attorney (co council) and is still diligently working with us. Aaron requests regular updates on my case, and I enjoy text messaging him with new developments. Once my body metabolized the extended legal battle, it became much less stressful and even quite fascinating. I absolutely suggest you contact Panakos before you attempt to create or sign any written agreement. The money you spend on attorney fees before entering into a written agreement is nothing compared to what a bad contract can end up costing you if things go wrong. read more

Had a consultation with Aaron regarding a business contract. He and his paralegal, Anna were extremely helpful. They informed me of all the information I needed and Aaron sat down with me for a good hour. I wouldn't hesitate to refer other business owners to Aaron and Panakos Law Center. read more

We have used Panakos Law for our current business, creating a new business, and other personal matters. Aaron has represented us and has been amazing. He has always been honest with us. He is someone who I always want in my corner. The entire staff at Panakos is amazing. They get things done. Grateful for everyone at this office!!! read more

I have worked with Aaron Sadock since 2009, initially for a business acquisition and later on for a bitter divorce battle between the two owners of the company. Aaron worked with me diligently and enthusiastically in both cases and achieved outstanding results. During the business acquisition, Aaron drafted, revised, and finalized the contract with favorable terms. He educated me through the process on mitigating legal pitfalls involved in asset acquisition. The divorce case was especially difficult and drawn-out due to the fact that I and my ex-husband were co-owners of the company. Aaron's vision and his caring heart was instrumental in avoiding a disastrous ending that would have resulted in career and financial ruin. In many volatile times, Aaron provided effective resolutions to bring the situation under control. Even during the time when the case seemed hopeless, Aaron did not give up. He pushed on until a final resolution was reached between the two parties. I owe my peace of mind and the fact that I can now carry on with my life to Aaron. Without him, I would have been in ruins. I am eternally grateful for what Aaron did for me. I am impressed by his knowledge and vision. In addition, I'm deeply touched by his caring heart, which is so rarely seen in the legal world. He is a person who truly cares about you and wants the best resolution for you. Thank you, Aaron! read more

I met with Aaron last week from a referral another professional i think highly of. I am a partner at a venture fund in town, Mission Ventures - a $500M venture capital fund focused on early stage technology opportunities across southern California. I share that only to offer a reference point that i have worked with many of the national law firms across the region. I was a looking for a smaller office and lawyer who could advise me on some legal aspects to a business i am starting. I met with Aaron and also spoke to a few other groups. He was the most knowledgeable and had given considerable thought before our meeting to a number of the aspects of my business that i should be taking into consideration so to minimize risk and help to safely reach success. His comments extended beyond the core legal advise i was seeking into elements of making it a more effective business. I found him very smart, prepared, understanding and considerate of my requests, and thoughtful on how to approach managing my personal costs. I will definitely work with him again and do recommend him to others. - Ted Ted Alexander read more

I had the great fortune of coming across the Panakos website shortly after deciding to start my own business. I can't express how lucky I feel to have the Panakos team on my side. They are all extremely competent, informed, and caring attorneys and it shows in how they treat their clients. I think of them more as friends and advisors than as attorneys. I've had the pleasure of working with a few folks at Panakos. As many have pointed out, Aaron is perhaps the most helpful person I have ever met. He is always willing to take my random calls and share his vast knowledge and wisdom. He acts like more of a business partner who wants you to succeed than some other attorneys who can seem like they're penny-pinching. I can't thank him enough for all he's done. I've also worked with Mark and it has been a great experience. He is extremely responsive, always makes me feel like I am a priority, and he is just the nicest guy (he even laughs at my silly jokes). If you need help with business set-up, contract negotiations, etc. you should have Mark on your team. Adam is just a delight all around. As a litigator, he is obviously devoted to his clients and goes out of his way to consider all the options available to help them. He has been a huge help to me professionally as well, which is far beyond what many other attorneys would do. Again, Adam goes the extra mile. Last but not least, Anna is wonderfully organized and efficient. I have no doubts that she will carry out all the administrative requirements exceptionally well. She is personable and, in case that's not enough, she has a lovely accent that makes me feel good about myself. Thanks for all your help Anna! Obviously, I'm a huge fan of the team at Panakos Law. I'm not at all surprised to see their high ratings on Yelp because they really are that good. If you're looking for a great business law team, please start your search at Panakos because you won't want to look any further after meeting them. read more

Mark DeVincentis was extremely helpful to me and spent much longer on the phone with me during our initial consultation than I would have expected. That alone provided me with invaluable information and advice for the business I am trying to start up. As I'm about two years away from actually being able to do business as my company, I've decided to hold off on registering a trademark and incorporating until I'm farther along and am closer to the time when it makes sense to do so. When I am able to fully launch the business, I absolutely intend to use Mark's services, both for the initial starting of the company and for ongoing legal support from there. I highly recommend going with Panakos...you'll be glad you did! read more

Aaron Sadock was honest and transparent and that is what you want in an attorney. He did a free consultation with me and spent a lot of time on the phone providing me my options and I appreciated his information and facts on what it would cost to continue with my case. To have an attorney tell me my potential out of pocket cost vs recovery would not be beneficial - now that is integrity. For that I thank you. If I ever needed an attorney I would want them to be as honest and forthcoming as Aaron Sadock was. I would hire him if I was continuing with my case. Again, Thank you! read more

What a refreshing change to have a conversation with an attorney where they listen and actually provide solid, honest advice instead of the usual ambiguous rhetoric. After just a 5 minute (and free!) conversation with Aaron Sadock, he gave me direct feedback and provided me with the best direction he could recommend. I've built and owned several businesses over the years and dealt with a fair amount of IP attorneys, rarely with you find a man, especially a lawyer, who is open and honest about expectations, limitations and capabilities. I appreciate that he puts efficiency and finding the best person for the job ahead of making a buck. Thanks for the easy conversation and honest assessment, Aaron! read more

I've had to deal with a few legal issues this year for my company, including a small claims court, a theft case and a trademark dispute. Aaron and his team advised me and helped me successfully deal with all these cases. They were available whenever I needed them, and offered sincere and valuable advice. I will always use Panakos Law for all my legal needs and would highly recommend them if you want an honest team who really cares about their clients. read more

Panakos Law played a key role in finalizing my payment from a company that acquired my business. I was represented by Quintin Lucas who consistently conducted himself in a professional manner and was always accessible to answer my questions or put my mind at ease. I've worked with other law firms that were "billing machines"; Panakos billing practices were very forthright and fair. Overall my experience with the Panakos Law Firm was very good; I highly recommend them to others that have business disputes! read more

I initially contacted Panakos Law Center after reading the reviews on Yelp and services offered on its website. I approached Aaron Sadock about a potential investment opportunity. Aaron was the first attorney I spoke to about an investment in an expanding local business. After speaking with Aaron, I had consulted with two other attorney's and I wasn't nearly as impressed with them as I was with Aaron. The choice to go with Aaron was an easy one. As an outside investor in a local business, which needed some restructuring, I understood that it would require some intense negotiations with the founders. Aaron's mediation, communication and legal skills were just what was needed to close this deal and protect my investment. The deal was complex due to the type of investment vehicles used and the way in which the organizations were structured. Aaron and his team have good prior private equity experience and an excellent financial and legal understanding of the different types of investment vehicle options used to make the investment. Aaron's experience and expertise provided me with legal protection I hadn't contemplated and also allowed him to work efficiently and quickly thus keeping legal fees from becoming unreasonable which is common among larger law firms that have an inexperienced associate work on similar transactions. Aaron's practice is set up to meet and exceed the expectations of small business investment/ownership. The deal went off track quickly several times for things that were essentially non-material to the deal and Aaron was able to understand what was required to bring the parties together. Beyond the experience and after returning my retainer, Aaron went well beyond what an attorney would normally do and provided invaluable business and legal advice to the company. read more

Aaron was extremely helpful in finalizing an operating agreement for my company. Not only was he extremely knowledgable in this area, but he took the time to explain in detail to me and my partners all of the complicated language of the agreement. I highly recommend Aaron for everyone!! read more

I have been working with Mark DeVincentis and Panankos law for over 1 1/2 years and I couldn't be happier with their services, advice and ability to get things done. I initially went the "cheapest" route with LegalZoom and it ended up becoming a complete mess. Mark has taken the time to work with me and my company to clean everything up. Mark's patience throughout our working together is second to none as we continue to grow my company. His council has been stellar, to say the least. With zero reluctance, I can say that this firm is the polar opposite of the stereotypes with lawyers and law firm. Zero regrets with my decision here, I have found my firm for the life of my business and all future businesses. read more
