Call me to talk about

Business Partnerships

I advise clients who have disputes with business partners, clients, customers, or vendors. I help them to resolve those disputes in a win-win solution so the client can turn the page and focus on the things that matter so they can grow their business.

I served as a Writer in Office of Presidential Letters and Messages in the Clinton White House, and later as Speechwriter and Press Aide to the Governor of California. I can help you to craft a message which is sticky and cuts through the clutter.

Business Strategy

As an attorney, I see what clients do right and what they do wrong. I see the good, the bad, and the ugly. I am a trusted advisor who can help you weigh the pro's and con's of a difficult decision, especially if it involves heated emotions, so you can make an informed decision.

John is a great attorney for providing strategic advice - going beyond the Ts and Cs, and really understanding the business issues at stake. I worked with John to help me negotiate terms when I joined a startup on the ground floor. John provided astute legal and business advice, but understood the importance of compromise, flexibility, and creative "win-win" solutions in a situation such as a start up. John did a great job of balancing the optimization of my interests with preserving the personal relationships which are so important in a start up. John was very accessible - phone, email, text - and did not hesitate to pull in an expert from his network when an item came up that was outside his scope. I have already come back to John for follow up work. I highly recommend John and the Corcoran Law Group!

John and I met to discuss how to market, develop and grow my small business. John came well-prepared, having done his research. He had reviewed my business website and had a thorough list of suggestions on-hand. His background and experience was very apparent, and he is wise in his broad and varied knowledge. John is also very personable, has a pleasant demeanor, and is easy to work with.

John was a tremendous asset to Omni Law Group. As the managing partner of a law firm, I look for the firm's associates to be ambitious, hard-working, and able to take matters off of my plate. John was the perfect mix of all three and more.

Right after joining Omni Law Group, he brought in a few clients that paid Omni enough revenue to cover his entire annual salary. John was almost always in the office before me and left after me, even though he lived more than an hour away. Though we took on many clients with issues that neither he nor I had dealt with before, John was diligent to research the issues and handle the matters from start to finish. Without this type of ambition and effort, Omni would not have received the revenue generated from these clients. Because of John's ability to adapt and his mental acumen, I was able to leave many client matters in his hands without having to worry about whether the clients were being cared for, which enabled me to focus my efforts on other matters. This ultimately led to Omni's clients receiving more personal attention and better results.

John was constantly thinking up new ideas for how to market Omni Law Group or generate revenue for the firm outside the "billable hour". He is very creative and proactive. These attributes, coupled with the other things he brought to the firm, are the icing on the cake for any employer.

John is going to be a great attorney for years to come, but he is much more than that. His creativity and ambition will take him far in the legal world and in other areas as well.
