I engaged Max Liaw at Cox, Castle & Nicholson to assist with a high-stakes commercial lease negotiation for a new retail location in San Diego. The property had significant zoning overlay issues that required careful navigation. Max’s focused expertise in California Real Estate Law was immediately apparent. He clearly leveraged the deep resources of his firm, yet provided a personal, hands-on approach that made us feel like a priority. His understanding of local land use regulations, hinted at by his professional recognitions in that area, was instrumental in securing favorable terms and avoiding future compliance pitfalls. While his billing structure is standard for a firm of this caliber, and there were a few instances where email responses took a day longer than expected during particularly busy periods, the overall value was undeniable. For a lawyer with two years of practice, his strategic foresight and command of the transactional details were impressive. He turned a potentially fraught process into a smooth, successful closing. I would confidently recommend him for complex real estate matters.
