Helping Businesses And Franchises Realize Their Potential

For more than 30 years, our firm has delivered the type of legal advice you might expect from a big corporate firm – but more personal.

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.

At Stephen A. Colley, APC, we represent business and franchise owners throughout the North County coastal and inland cities, including San Diego, Encinitas, Carlsbad and San Marcos. We do not see ourselves as just lawyers; we run our own business and have had to grapple with the same issues you face. Before becoming a lawyer, Stephen A. Colley was a licensed real estate broker and was also involved personally in franchising. He knows the pressures business owners are under and the responsibilities they have.
