Testimonials
• “I have known and worked with Leonard Lang for the better part of two decades, and in that time I have been impressed with his ability to comprehend and work within the regulatory process. He has educated various businesses relative to their understanding of a very complex subject area and has advised them in how best to make the process work in their favor. He has always strived to improve California’s business environment.”
– Tim Flanagan, The Flanagan Law Firm
• “Leonard is highly capable at analyzing the often difficult language of public code and translating it in a manner that can be readily understood by the average business person. He fully understands the procedural requirements that government agencies must follow in the process of promulgating regulations. In many instances Leonard’s written comments and testimony at agency hearings on behalf of his clients have resulted in a positive outcome for those clients. I am pleased to recommend Leonard to anyone whose business is or may become subject to regulatory oversight.”
