Our Practice Areas & Services

At Daryl Reese Law Group, we understand the conflict between paying for legal services and providing more services to your clients. Our objective is to maximize your mission. And that is exactly why nonprofits need lawyers.


  • We have represented businesses and nonprofit organizations before the IRS, the California Franchise Tax Board, the California Attorney General’s Office’s Registry of Charitable Trusts, the Secretary of State, and in Family, Probate and Civil Court.


    As a law firm, we value personal integrity, honesty, quality work, service, and education. Our main focus is to assist our clients in achieving their estate planning goals. Our legal support team is compassionate and has decades of experience providing quality legal advice.


    Crossovers in legal practices

    There are many crossovers between the for-profit business world and the nonprofit sector; many of which are very similar and some that are the same. Corporate governance and conforming with the requirements of the Corporations Code are critical for both sectors. When our team works with clients to form a new corporation or limited liability company, whether for-profit or nonprofit, we focus heavily on making sure our clients understand corporate governance so that their liability exposure is significantly reduced or eliminated. We provide our clients with the requisite knowledge needed to navigate the hierarchy of governing documents and positional leadership to allow them to form businesses with smooth-running programs and operations.

    

    When our team drafts or reviews contracts, it is imperative that our clients comprehend the implications of the contract language. When we prepare nondisclosure agreements, purchase and sale agreements, shareholder restriction agreements, or other multi-party agreements, we want our clients to be comfortable with what those agreements achieve, what they mean and how they work within their entities. Corporate bylaws or operating agreements often contain technical or confusing legalese, our office strives to demystify this language and give our clients a good working knowledge of how those documents impact the work their businesses do every day.

    Navigating the corporate legal world

    When we form entities and file governmental documents with the State of California or the Internal Revenue Service, we want our clients to understand the importance of how to comply with the laws that govern those filings and to have the resources available to them to continue those filings as they move forward. We want them to understand how critical those filings are and how missing them can result in their entity or their tax-exempt status being suspended or revoked.


    When we work with nonprofit organizations, we want to ensure that our clients understand the rules and requirements to maintain their good standing with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General’s Office, the IRS, and the Franchise Tax Board. It is so easy to be overwhelmed with all of the reporting and compliance requirements placed upon nonprofit entities, and we want to help our clients manage those requirements without issue. When it comes to property tax exemptions, we want our clients to know how they might inadvertently violate the requirements to maintain those exemptions which would result in their having to pay tens of thousands of dollars of property tax that otherwise they would have been exempt from paying.
