Contracts, and the people who sign them — contractors, business owners, family-run companies, family offices, and property owners across the Bay Area. Formation to settlement, flat fees quoted up front, and an AI intake our own founder built.
Where business meets property, disputes cross practice lines. Ours don't require a second lawyer.
Most firms bought a chatbot. Our founder built one. Legalman AI — developed by Jon Azimov's legal-tech startup — talks with you in plain English, gathers the facts of your case, and prepares the groundwork before your consultation even begins.
Most legal problems are cheaper to prevent than to fight. Subscription retainers keep counsel a phone call away.

Every client of this firm built something from nothing — a crew, a kitchen, a company, a future. Jon understands them because he is one of them: an immigrant who arrived in California, earned his J.D. at Santa Clara University School of Law, and was admitted to the California Bar in December 2012 (State Bar No. 288322).
His first clients were contractors — and thirteen years later, builders still call first. Today the practice runs on contracts and the people who sign them: business owners, family-run companies, founders, investors and family offices, property owners and landlords. Formations, deals, settlements, and the occasional fight worth having — always explained in plain English. Or in plain Uzbek, Russian, Turkish, or Polish, whichever one is yours.
With gratitude to Cynthia A. Mertens, Professor of Law Emerita, Santa Clara University — the inspiration and the strength behind this firm, and the reason it runs the way she taught: with integrity, and with people first.
