I’ve known Val for years and finally had the pleasure of working with her. When my company needed an attorney to review contracts we interviewed several — and it’s a good thing we decided to go with Val. She was informative, had a great understanding of what we wanted to accomplish, and was ALWAYS looking out for our best interest. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

It has been my good fortune to have Valerie represent my Company and myself on several important occasions. Her research and attention to details are impeccable, as is her tenacity in providing the best outcomes for my Company. As a businessman I appreciated her straight forward, yet professional approach in keeping me informed on complex legal issues while always moving forward in an expeditious, yet prudent manner.
I would highly recommend the legal services of Valerie Kramer to anyone seeking highly motivated and competent representation.

Bill Campbell III, CFAInvestment Analyst, Teacher, Magician
Many people will recommend Valerie L Kramer as an excellent civil attorney. She knows her stuff, she’s thorough, and her integrity is beyond reproach. Her motto is, “Call Val first”: she would much rather prevent a legal problem ex ante than clean up a problem ex post, and she has the skill and foresight to be able to anticipate virtually any problem and prevent it: a rare ability.
All of these are good reasons to recommend Val, but they’re not the reasons that I recommend Val. Many attorneys possess some of these qualities, and a few possess all of these qualities. Val possesses all of them, but adds to that mix a quality that is incredibly rare in attorneys: value. Unlike many attorneys – competent or not – Val will not advocate a one-hundred-dollar solution to a ten-dollar problem (though these days, it’s more like a one-thousand-dollar solution to a one-hundred-dollar problem). If she sees that her involvement will be uneconomical to her client, she says so. It’s just one example of how Val puts the interests of her clients first, a rare feat these days.
It’s been a pleasure to work with Val in the past, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Gary CapolinoOwner, The Part-Time CFO, Inc.
I had the pleasure to work with Valerie L Kramer as a volunteer with Inventors’ Forum, and Non-Profit Inventors Club in Orange County, CA.
While the task in front of us wasn’t significant, she always demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, and I learned about a few very successful representations for some very good friends of mine.
Additionally, Ms. Kramer was always very active in lending unsolicited advice to help me further my own practice, and for those “casual” suggestions, I am forever grateful.

Kathryn FieldsOwner, Law Offices of Kathryn V. Fields
I’ve known Valerie for over 25 years. She is one of the most goal-oriented, success-focused attorneys I have ever had the good fortune of working with. She achieves success through hard work, attention to detail, and thorough command of procedural and substantive knowledge of her practice areas. I’ve recommended Valerie to my own clients (here in Washington) who have also needed legal representation in the Orange County, CA area. Based on the feedback I’ve gotten, I would not hesitate do so in the future should the need arise again.

Putting Our Clients First
Orange County business attorney, Valerie L Kramer, is a seasoned business, debt collection, entity formation, and real estate lawyer. Valerie is known to provide expert legal counsel while always putting her client’s interests first. She offers competitive, affordable fees so that expert legal help is accessible to individuals, entrepreneurs, designers, artists, contractors, or any sized-business owner.
Here is how we put clients first:
2. Embracing Technology. In the 21st century technology is a must. We are technically up to speed and are able to keep our clients informed around the clock while keeping costs to a minimum and productivity at a maximum. Using technology, we are increasingly more productive each year. That lowers our costs translating into cost savings to you.
3. Flexible Fees. We have hourly rates for transactional and litigation matters, but have set up some flat fee pricing for entity formation (INC, LLC) so that we lend a helping hand to new business startups. We desire to protect new entrapeneurs form the pitfalls of LegalZoom and other non-attorney pathways that inevitabily lead to troubles in the first years when there is no room or extra money for problems.
4. Flexible Payments. We accept credit cards. We will consider a contingency fee basis for some litigation and commercial collections or judgment enforcement cases – but a contingency fee arrangement IS the rare EXCEPTION.
