Another 2018 New Year’s resolution done: Finished our “Community Involvement” wall. Guichard Teng Portillo & Garrett is involved in our community through volunteering and financial contributions. You will find us in the Rotary of Walnut Creek, Fire Council Commissioner, coaching base ball teams, sponsoring swim/soccer/baseball teams, donating to schools, etc. We think it’s important for businesses to be involved in the communities where they work. Sure hope you do too.

Sometimes you only need a little bit of advice from a lawyer. Maybe you were hit by a car and have a few out of pocket expenses or medical bills. Their insurance company is trying to settle with you. Is the right amount? Are you being fairly compensated? Why not give Guichard Teng Portillo & Garrett a call and come in and discuss what happened? It might be better to have that 1 hour conference then find out that you didn’t settle for an amount to even fully cover your expenses! Call Matt. He’s had a lot of experience with personal injury cases and gets great results. You can reach Matt at 925.459.8440.

So what happens when you take the plunge and start that new business with someone but you never quite got around to finalizing the details of your company (who contributes what, who does what, what happens if…) and then things don’t work out quite the way you and your business partner thought? Call us. Call Matt. He can help mediate your situation and hopefully come up with a plan that will satisfy both parties.

Didn’t know Guichard Teng Portillo & Garrett can help mediate disagreements? We can! Give Matt at a call at 925.459.8440 and let him help you. He’s been helping folks for a long time and he’s pretty darn good at it!

An absolute nightmare! Imagine walking along and you or your child (as in the article linked below) get attacked by a pit bull or any dog. From the article, it sounds like the child will be ok. We certainly hope so.

You may or may not know that Guichard Teng Portillo & Garrett has represented victims of dog bites. If you or someone you know has been the victim of a dog bite, give us a call at 925.459.8440 and ask for Matt. He can discuss with you whether or not you have a case against the dog owner.
