Darwin was very thorough and was focused on protecting me in a sticky family business situation. I appreciated having him represent me.

Melissa set up my corporation. The entire process was easy. She and her team are a pleasure to work with.

If you want a business attorney that knows what they are doing and gets your business and business contracts squared away right BEFORE there's ever a problem, this is your attorney. Darwin is amazing at helping fix problems should they arise if you made the mistake of NOT firing him in the first place, lol... But the better choice would be to hire him front the get-go before any decision making because he will save you a whole lot of hassle and headaches. The absolute best heart too... oooohhh aaannnd he loves Disneyland which is probably my main reason to hire him.. lol jk read more

I had the pleasure of working with Darwin Bustarde for just over a year. A mega-corporation purchased the multi-tenant complex in which our family owned business was located and Darwin assisted me through a lease buyout negotiation. We saw other tenants close their businesses and walk away with nothing. I wasn't going to let that happen so, thankfully, I found Darwin and BMBR on Yelp. His patience with me and the process was essential to our success. Darwin's experience and professionalism are very reassuring. He is always easy to speak with, never condescending and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. He is also an excellent communicator, keeping you in the loop at all times and thoroughly explaining your options. These are all characteristics I needed in an attorney and was delighted to find in Darwin Bustarde. My only disappointment is that due to Covid, I never had the opportunity to meet him in person! It's very reassuring to know Darwin is only a phone call away if we ever need his expertise in the future. read more

Ms. Bustarde successfully got the other party to agree to mediation after multiple previous attempts had failed, and then she was able to navigate the dispute to resolution in mediation saving me valuable time and money. Her assertiveness and willingness to go to trial if necessary was instrumental in bringing the dispute to successful and quick resolution. Thank you Ms. Bustarde! read more
