We also send you all relevant documents as your case progresses, ensuring you have a complete record at any given time.
We do not charge separately for reading and responding to emails (unless they are exceptionally long); you will often see “Billed As One” on your invoice. If multiple lawyers need to review an email, you are billed only once.
Additionally, we do not charge for printing costs—and yes, we print a lot. We type quickly, so letters can often be billed at just 15-minute increments.
Our goal is to earn our fees by practicing law, not by adding unnecessary charges. When comparing lawyers’ hourly rates, don’t just ask for the price—ask what’s included. At our firm, you get much more than just an hour of legal service—you get real value.

EXCELLENT Based on 113 reviews Posted on Google Alex MunozJune 23, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steven Riznyk is an amazing attorney who clearly takes pride in his work. His legal insight, strategic thinking, and ability to read situations set him apart. Throughout the process, he empowered me to move forward with confidence by clearly explaining options and guiding each step with authority and respect. If you’re looking for an experienced attorney who truly stands behind his clients and goes the extra mile, Steven is the one.Posted on Google ElliottJune 12, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steven Riznyk and his team at San Diego Biz Law are absolute life savers! I ended up being surprised with my first business dispute as an owner and operator. I called and reached out to a lot of firms all across California, and those that got back to me were speaking death into my situation, almost like there was no hope. You better be prepared to settle for 6 figures as soon as you can before things got worse. Steven, however, personally gave me a call back early in the morning on a Monday, he explained to me that he's been doing business negotiation in disputes like this for almost 40 years. And he said that we had a real good shot at getting this quickly resolved. I asked him, "Well, how soon can you get on the phone with the other side?" He told me "I could give them a call today if you want." I knew I had my guy, plus the fact that he had all these five-star reviews on Google... I knew this had to be my best bet. Steven gave them a call on that Monday and within two days, he had already gotten a negotiated settlement agreement signed by both sides for substantially less than all the other firms who spoke death to my situation were making it out to be. He literally saved my business in a matter of three days. When he says he teaches CLEs on negotiation to his fellow attorney colleagues across the nation, and when he says he's been doing business dispute negotiations for 40 years and you can trust him, I would highly recommend that you believe him and put your trust in him and his team as it is well placed. If I did not come across him to represent me in this matter, my business, my life savings... everything... could have potentially been taken from me in a completely unjust way. My family and I owe Steven so much and I cannot recommend him enough because words of recommendation don't even do justice to how competent he is as an attorney, how amazing his bed side manner is with clients when he speaks to you over the phone, how his execution to accomplish his clients' goals is so on point, the fact that you can work with him directly and he works on your case directly (yes he has staff, but you actually get him) and at prices that are arguably under market for the value / results he can provide. Thanks for everything Steven and team :)Posted on Google Mazdak MomenJune 3, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. While I did not end up working with Steve Riznyk and his firm, I had a consultation with him where he answered all my questions. I found that he truly listened and asked relevant follow up questions to understand the situation. My situation did not move forward but I would not hesitate to work with Steve in the future if needed.Posted on Google Jules PerezMay 27, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Steven on a Thursday before a holiday weekend with a time-sensitive legal matter involving a former contractor dispute. He called me back the same day, immediately understood the situation, and had a comprehensive settlement agreement drafted on that Saturday. His advice was straight, practical, and exactly what I needed... he told me what my real exposure was, what it would cost me if I didn't handle it right, and exactly how to structure the resolution. We got the agreement signed the following Tuesday (less than 3 business days start to finish), matter closed cleanly. Steven is the kind of attorney who treats your money like his own and doesn't manufacture billable hours. If you're a business owner who needs someone sharp, responsive, and straight to the point, Steven is your guy. I'll be sending everything his way going forward.Posted on Google Jorge QuirozMay 25, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met Steven a few years ago, while I was going through a hard legal matter. Today, I could not be more thankful to God for putting him in my path, not only did he hear me when I needed it the most, but he guided me and helped me like no one else would! I do not say this lightly, I recommend Steven and his whole team with my eyes closed, best negotiators I have ever met. Oh, and most importantly, very honest lawyers which is hard to find!!! Thanks San Diego Biz Law :)Posted on Google Pilar MontoyaMay 22, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been blessed to have launch and sold businesses, lead dynamic organizations and surrounded myself with consultants that get the job done. I was inspired to write a review for the San Diego Biz Law group as a result of my work with lead attorney Stefano Riznyk and his team. Besides being a top notch firm, Stefano and has team have made me feel informed, supported and responded to with the urgency my matter deserves. I have worked with many law firms and I count Stefano and his team as the of the top notch firms I have had the pleasure to worked with.Posted on Google John GMay 20, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stefano Riznyk of San Diego Biz Law is an exceptional attorney and an outstanding person with the highest integrity. I found Mr. Riznyk to possess highly developed communication skills and a remarkable ability to explain complex legal matters clearly and effectively. As lead trial counsel in my probate case, Mr. Riznyk successfully argued a matter that I understood carried only a 50/50 chance of success. Through unwavering diligence, strategic focus, and meticulous preparation, he emphasized the importance of “crossing every T and dotting every I.” His attention to detail, tireless work ethic, and determined advocacy gave me confidence throughout the process. Mr. Riznyk is a passionate and highly skilled trial attorney who genuinely fights for his clients’ best interests. His professionalism, dedication, and commitment to client satisfaction truly set him apart. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Riznyk and San Diego Biz Law to anyone seeking a top-tier trial attorney, especially in complex litigation matters.Posted on Google Eugene SchwartzApril 16, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steven has been exceptional throughout this entire process! We are currently managing two fraudulent cases at the same time, and even though we haven't seen positive results yet, I am optimistic that the final outcome will favor us. Steven and his team are extremely responsive and communicate efficiently, which has alleviated many of our concerns. Their meticulous attention to detail, combined with Steven's extensive experience and expertise, truly distinguishes them from others. I am confident that their commitment will lead to a successful resolution. I will provide an additional review once both cases are successfully resolved.Posted on Google Elisabetta LiumbrunoApril 16, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Steven Riznyk at San Diego Biz Law. I had a very tight timeline and he acted quickly in helping me to figure out my next steps. He went above and beyond to get in touch with the right people at the organization, and despite some reluctance on their end, Steve saw things through to get the situation resolved. He is a great advocate and I highly recommend engaging his services, you won't be let down!Posted on Google Suresh YarlagaddaApril 10, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
