Helping Businesses And Franchises Realize Their Potential
For more than 30 years, I have been delivering the type of legal advice you might expect from a big corporate firm — but more personal.
Business Law
I will work with you closely, ensuring that you enter commercial deals with your eyes open and that every aspect of your business is protected.
Franchise Law
Thinking of buying a franchise? Find out if a franchise is the right type of business for you.
Real Estate Law
I help business owners with the purchase and sale of real property, commercial leases and interrelated areas such as brokering, escrows, title insurance and other matters.
Estate Planning
A well-drafted estate plan ensures your wealth is transferred to the beneficiaries you choose and protects your family from the time, expense and publicity of probate.
Legal Advice For The Life Of Your Business
Whether you are starting a business or buying a franchise, you need legal advice to be successful. To avoid pitfalls and mistakes, it only makes sense to consult a business-oriented attorney.
I am Stephen A. Colley, and I represent business and franchise owners throughout the North County coastal and inland cities, including San Diego, Encinitas, Carlsbad and San Marcos. I do not see myself as just a lawyer; I run my own business and have had to grapple with the same issues you face. Before I became a lawyer, I was a licensed real estate broker and was also involved personally in franchising. I know the pressures business owners are under and the responsibilities they have.
