“I much appreciate the clear and concise advice in a very straight forward business communication style! Shawn is a fountain of business knowledge that he can couple with his legal expertise to communicate with the business world as well as the public at large.” G.M.
"Shawn is my attorney for 4 businesses including one that is international. He is precise, thorough, and is always looking out for my best interest. His follow through is impeccable and he goes the distance in making sure I understand the legal jargon. If you need someone to get the job done right the first time - contact him immediately. I depend on him fully for all of my legal issues”. D.L.
“He is professional, and very knowledgeable and responsive. I have worked with Shawn on more than one occasion and I have found him to resolve my legal issues promptly and with an impressive expertise and at a reasonable price. Shawn is very thorough when it comes to protecting and representing his clients, and when I work with Shawn I am completely confident that I am in the best of hands. Shawn is the guy you want in your corner!” T.
“I appreciate your ability to help me quickly clarify legal issues and to guide me toward a negotiated settlement. You have helped me avoid making decisions that escalate a problem while keeping an eye on the bigger picture of solving problems. In the end, it is about conflict resolution, not about being right.” A.H.
“I am so happy to have such a great and accomplished attorney on my side who is a bright and creative thinker and always looking out to protect my interests, and who is also pleasant to know and work with, (that's a really unusual combination)!” T.F.
“We would have been completely lost without Shawn’s guidance. I had a client that was not paying me for my work and was also trying to hold my money hostage to try to make me sign a completely inappropriate NDA. Shawn handled the situation perfectly and not only was I compensated in full"

His experience on the business side sets him apart from my attorneys. 2. Responsiveness. He reviewed the fast-changing revisions quickly. 3. His video conferencing meetings are as convenient as a phone call with the added communication elements of an office meeting. If you want a skilled attorney and business advisor to help you get started, call Shawn Jackson." K.S. “We hired Shawn Jackson to represent us in the purchase of a corporation. His professionalism, knowledge, and ethics was greatly appreciated it. He was timely in his responses (even working on weekends and holidays), always taking into consideration our thoughts and opinions. He was patient in explaining the law with regards to our engagement and also had an uncanny ability to explain the process ... well done! -

Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
I found Shawn through Yelp. It was one of the best decisions I made as a business owner. I consulted with Shawn from the beginning of my business all the way up to selling my business. He was there to help me with any situation and always provided me with a prompt response. He has a down to earth personality, but always provided very well thought out responses to my questions. It wasn't until it came to sell my business where I saw Shawn's skill of dealing with the buyers and his ability to obtain the best deal for his clients. At some points I felt that Shawn was my business partner, not an attorney. He was able to successfully help me sell my business with the terms that I wanted. I never actually met Shawn in person, all of my interactions with him were through the phone. I don't care where you are - if you are looking for a business attorney stop your search and give Shawn a call.” Z.R.

- Q. When you do a dba to your incorporated business does it automatically become incorporated also?
- A: The short answer to your "automatically become incorporated" is "no". The longer answer is a combination of ownership, your management agreement, your written agreement with homeowners for your "Home Improvement Contracts" ... and the CSLB issues ... you will want to schedule a free initial video call to discuss the matter furhter.
- Q. What happens if you are 50% owner of a corporation and have no written agreement and one partner wants out
- A: As you might imagine, a few initial questions for you: [1] is there a signed shareholder's agreement for the corporation ... [2] what are the written documents that support the "50%" ownership and how does that ownership reflect the 80k - 30 k split ... and [3] do you have a signed Organizational Meeting Minutes document? This information will help move the resolution process forward ... thank you.
- Q. If I am a minor member/owner in a LLC can I sign legally binding contracts.
- A: The short answer is ... "it depends" ... you would need AUTHORITY from the LLC, usually within the LLC Operating Agreement and/or approved resolutions ... along with NOTICE to the other LLC members and the other contracting parties.
