Semanchik Law Group represents small businesses and nonprofits and assists individuals with estate planning and probate. Founding Attorney, Nikki Semanchik, started Semanchik Law Group (“SLG”) with the goal of creating a law firm that felt accessible to small businesses and individuals who want quality legal services for affordable prices. SLG strives to be as innovative and mission driven as the clients it serves.

Starting a business is both exciting and overwhelming. We will meet with you to learn about your business and assist you with selecting the right business entity that will serve your needs. Once your business entity has been formed, we will ensure that your legal needs continue to be met. Whether its protecting your brand with a trademark or helping you create a business succession plan, SLG will ensure your business is secure.

SLG also represents nonprofit organizations. From public charities to private foundations, we advise nonprofit organizations including museums, churches, animal rescue organizations, sports leagues, business leagues and social clubs. The legal and tax considerations facing nonprofits is unlike that of for profit businesses. We understand these nuisances and will ensure your nonprofit is legally compliant with the IRS, Franchise Tax Board, California Secretary of State and California Attorney General.

SLG also assists clients with the estate planning and probate process. We understand that while many people take the time to plan for the future of their business, they may put off completing an estate plan. We strongly believe that having a proper estate plan in place can give an individual peace of mind knowing that their assets, family and desires will be taken care of in the event of their death of incapacity. We take the time to get to know our clients in order to understand their needs and objectives before guiding them through the estate planning process. Building upon a relationship of trust and understanding, our clients feel comfortable discussing their family and finances. SLG will assist with drafting wills, revocable living trusts, durable power of attorneys and health care directives. For families with substantial assets, we will also provide sophisticated estate planning techniques, which will assist in avoiding estate tax liability and help protect family wealth for future generations.
