Reviews from happy business owners like you

Danya was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional, courteous, and had the expertise and knowledge to review our lease and franchise agreements. She gave great insight and recommendations on how we can protect ourselves and our business and to ensure the agreements were fair for both parties. I will be using her for future business law needs and highly recommend her to those looking for a business law expert.

Sadaf Fatani

My partner and I hired Motiva business law to write a contract to engage in business with a hospital. They were fast, efficient and extremely responsive. The lawyer took the time to explain everything to us, and through technology she made everything easier. I would definitely hire them again and absolutely recommend Motiva Business Law.

Laurie Lee

I truly appreciate Attorney Shakfeh for taking the time to help me through the process of getting the documents I needed to be prepared for my business. She not only wrote the contract, she explained what it contained and even made recommendations as to where to go next. She is the one to go to if you need legal help for your business, either as a startup or as an established business.
