TELECOMMUNICATIONS LAW
FCC representation    - Back to top

We provide representation on matters before the Federal Communications Commission. Our experience with procedural and rulemaking proceedings can help you understand your rights and options when working with the FCC. Please contact us for assistance if you have received a Notice of Apparent Liability or Notice of Forfeiture from the FCC.

Counsel regarding FCC decisions    - Back to top
FCC decisions affect your business and life. We are able to counsel and advise you concerning how these decisions impact you. We can also assist in preparing comments and reply comments in FCC proceedings. You should be aware of what the FCC is doing and feel confident to participate with your input.

Spectrum brokering    - Back to top
We offer extensive expertise and experience when it comes to buying and selling radio spectrum. Ritter Radio, Inc. has brokered transactions worth hundreds of millions of dollars since 1997.

FCC license assistance    - Back to top
Do you need to renew your FCC license? We can show you how to do it for free. If you have a license modification or more complex licensing matter, please contact us. We can assist with waiver requests, temporary authorizations, and all other licensing matters.


ESTATE PLANNING LAW (Download Client Questionnaire)
Wills    - Back to top
Death happens. If it happens and you have no will, the state’s laws determine who receives your estate. This is avoidable free of charge. We can show you how to draft your own will for free! If you have a will that needs review or want advice about drafting a will, please contact us.

Trusts    - Back to top
Trusts are a common method of avoiding the probate process required for wills. When you make a living trust – a document in which you hold property as a “trustee” – your heirs can receive the property at your death quickly and easily. We can help you create and draft a trust document that fulfills your estate plans.

Advance Directives   - Back to top
This is your “living will.” It provides instructions in the event of your incapacity, nominates agents to make health care decisions, and states your wishes concerning end-of-life scenarios. After the recent Terry Schiavo case, it’s important to include this in your estate planning documents.

Powers of Attorney    - Back to top
No estate plan is complete without a durable power of attorney. This nominates someone to act on your behalf in case of incapacity and gives them power to make important medical and financial decisions for you.


SELF-DIRECTED IRA AND 401(K) LAW
Plan Establishment    - Back to top
The first important step in taking full advantage of self-directing your retirement money is knowing your options for establishing a plan. Your employment situation determines what choices are available. Let us help you get started properly by establishing the plan best-suited for your needs.

Prohibited Transactions     - Back to top
Entering into a prohibited transaction can have disastrous consequences. Some self-directed custodians are now requiring that you get a third-party opinion on whether a particular investment complies with the law. Get the information and help before you invest.

Plan Updates and Amendments    - Back to top
Many current employer 401(k) plans are outdated and unnecessarily expensive. Let us help you review your plan and make recommendations to take full advantage of self-directed investing options while saving money.


REAL ESTATE LAW
Landlord – tenant issues    - Back to top
It’s always a good idea to have lease agreements reviewed prior to signing. If you are a landlord pursuing eviction or a tenant facing eviction, you have rights and responsibilities. We can refer you to some free sources of information. If a dispute arises, we can be there to help.

Disclosure disputes    - Back to top
In real estate transactions, sellers, agents and brokers have disclosure duties. We can help you understand the law and the remedies for failure to disclose material information. California tends to require more stringent disclosures and extends the requirements beyond the sellers.

We are licensed by the California Department of Real Estate (license number 01403931) to broker real estate transactions. We can prepare written offers and conduct contract review if you are handling the sale yourself.
