Business Lawyers Near Culver City

I have had the pleasure of working with Lisa Simantob for many years. She has assisted me and many senior members of our company in crafting and documenting complex leases, negotiating vendor contracts, working with tenant legal issues, reviewing business contracts and advising many of our clients the best way to navigate potential legal issues.

Lisa brings a depth of legal intelligence to each project, but, more importantly, she fully understands the business ramifications and is able to steer any given issue to her clients’ most favorable position. She is extremely honest and demonstrates the highest levels of integrity. In any given situation she always communicates the possible avenues and how those decisions might overall affect an asset. She is extremely bright and creative.

Lisa is always available and responsible and very fair with her invoicing. I am assured whenever I contact Lisa that I will receive a complete scenario of all possibilities and how each relates to the goals of the ownership. Without hesitation, I would gladly recommend Lisa.

They say good lawyers are in the business of putting themselves out of business. While most lawyers look for ways to line their own pockets, it is rare to find one who seeks effective resolution quickly and efficiently.

Lisa Simantob is methodical and intuitive; her moves are calculated, and she is able to create a clear path from point A to point B. I had originally hired her to review a lease, but she now oversees all legal aspects of our business operations. She routinely reviews and corrects the work of world-class litigators, insurance defense attorneys, and employment law experts.

My only regret is that I didn’t meet her sooner. She has become a partner in our growth, and has easily saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars due to her ability to see things all the way through.

Dear Lisa,

I work with attorneys all over the world, and few are as conscientious, careful, and pleasant to work with as Lisa Simantob. She combines all the qualities I look for when I refer my clients’ real estate work to her.

Lisa was a vital asset in helping me resolve a tricky legal mess outside my purview. I brought her a case that I couldn’t resolve despite months of anxiety and aggravation. She quickly and meticulously reviewed all the relevant documents and made professional recommendations that were well-thought out and easy to understand.

Always focused on the task at hand, she’s straight-forward, honest, and wastes no time on non-essentials. Lisa’s practical approach led to a successful resolution of my real estate dispute. I recommend her wholeheartedly

As a hotelier (owner and operator of a luxury hotel in Southern California) who has dealt with a multitude of lawyers regarding complex legal matters spanning over two decades throughout my profession, Ms. Lisa Simantob is the most extraordinary lawyer I have ever had! Ms. Simantob is incredibly knowledgable, efficient and honest. She is detail oriented and responsive.

Ms. Simantob stepped in and took immediate action to resolve a very high conflict case in a methodical manner with the utmost professionalism. Ms. Simantob focused on achieving the desired outcome in an expedient and cost-effective manner. I have referred Ms. Simantob to my family members and colleagues and will most definitely continue to use Simantob Law Group and Ms. Lisa Simantob for my business and real estate legal needs.

Lisa helped in incorporating our subsidiary company in Los Angeles.She is knowledgeable, prompt and polite!Her advice is crisp and it has been a pleasure working with her!

Lisa has done a lot of work for me! Setting up my LLC’s, and various business needs. Recently, retrieving unpaid rent. She’s smart.

I am in the process of selling a business. Lisa has given me excellent advise on how to go about the process. Intelligent. Knows and understands how to proceed with all of the details. She is easy to communicate with.

Lisa was impeccable in drafting and finalizing our Seller Carryback Mortgage Loan. She deployed the expertise and knowledge of large institutional lenders, for a simple small guy like us. So who wouldn’t hire someone with Lisa’s expertise to protect hard earned money lent to a Buyer?

Lisa worked late at night and always responded immediately when called upon. She’s honest and works fast, no nonsense gets to the point (yes, she’s paid by the hour). And I very much appreciated the very “tight” docs she wrote. But most of all, it’s her business acumen that sets her apart from other attorneys. We didn’t just need legal docs, we also needed experienced biz advice to structure and draft them accordingly.

Thank you Lisa, you’re a rare breed!

I had a wonderful experience with Lisa D. Simantob, Esq. with securing my corporate lease. She was very thorough and responsive in every step of the process!

Lisa Simantob was amazing from start to finish on helping me resolve a business settlement. Every step of the way she had my company’s best interest at heart.

She was extremely proactive throughout the process. She’s relatable/personable as an attorney, which cannot be said about most attorneys.

I would use her again in a heartbeat for any business-related matter where I thought I may need legal counsel.

As the Vice President of the board of the Royal Palm Gardens HOA, I sought Lisa’s advice and help on several issues regarding the California laws and codes related to HOA.

Our office, Gabbay Architects, practicing in Beverly Hills for the last forty-two years had a very unfair legal case that was dragging for over three years. Our insurance company had hired a very reputable firm, that after over two years of exchange with other attorneys did not reach to any conclusion.

Therefore, our legal counsel was switched by the insurance company to another well-known defense lawyer to continue. All their sessions of “mediation” hit a concrete wall with no settlement agreement, while inflating the attorney hours! Undersigned, becoming frustrated of the situation, met Lisa Simantob and asked her if she could review the case and give us some advice. In just a couple of weeks, everything turned upside down. It was a tornado!

Ms. Simantob discovered so many cases of wrong-doing, malpractice and conflicts of interest, that all lawyers of the opposing party, including the Plaintiff changed their attitude, and came to the negotiating table to settle the case, with much lower demands.

Ms. Simantob, is a real fighter. She is rough when needed and fair when it must be. All this attitude comes along a very deep knowledge of the codes and regulations of her profession.

Lisa Simantob has been our attorney for several years now.  She has handled very complicated real estate legal issues ranging from a sale with a difficult partner to disclosure and title disputes, and assisting on a large real estate utility CEQA issue.

She has handled each issue with the highest level of judgment, research, and strategy while taking the time to understand our personal goals.  We highly recommend her services.

Over the years, I have worked with many attorneys, including names like Sadden Arps (when I ran a publicly traded company). I have ranked them on a 1-10 basis.  Skadden is easily an 8 (but with a an 8 price-tag).  I would rank Lisa Simantob a clear 10.

She handled a commercial dispute for our of my companies and it was a real pleasure to have a big tiger on my team. She is responsive, and proactive and she tells it like it is.  She also has the ability to think and act “out of the box.”  No more large firms for us.  She’s now my go to Attorney.  Better still she’s really reasonable with hourly rate.

I’ve been working with Lisa Simantob as my business attorney for over a year and she’s done an excellent job representing me in various business matters. She is highly knowledgeable and will work hard for you and your interests. Thanks Lisa!

You’re nothing short of amazing…

What more can I say about Lisa? From the moment we had our first conversation, I knew I was going to retain her. She makes a sincere effort to look out for my best interests every step of the way. She is very communicative, easily reachable at all times and her experience, knowledge and understanding of her craft is really unparalleled. Lisa is one of the good ones and I’m thankful that I have her to call in times of my real estate needs!

Lisa Simantob is an extremely knowledgeable attorney. She can and does find ways to shortcut processes by way of her comprehensive understanding of in my case contract and business law. I would definitely recommend her for business sales as that is what she aided me with.
