Blake & Ayaz, A Law Corporation

Spoke to the attorney regarding a case with ABC. Even though I wasn’t an actual client but had a million questions. The attorney went above and beyond and answered all of my questions about the case without charging me. This office exceeded my expectations and I would recommend to anyone who needs any legal assistance. Don’t look any further please use this firm they’re very professional.

Mike has been instrumental from the beginning, helping us with our liquor license transfer. He was also there with his team of professionals to exonerate us from two ABC investigations. As our business grows, I would not consider using anyone but Blake & Ayaz for licensing related issues. Mike and his team are the best of the best! Thanks again for all of the help.

I was worried I wouldn’t be able to hold an ABC license due to previous accounts, but I decided to take my chances and look for a lawyer who specialized in this area. Although I’m based in Monterey County, I came across a lawyer in Santa Ana—and I’m very glad I did. Mike is extremely straight-to-the-point, which made the entire process simple and stress-free. I paid good money for excellent service, and it was absolutely worth it. There were a few hiccups along the way, and Mike handled every one of them quickly and efficiently, streamlining the entire process for me. Aside from providing some preliminary information and completing notarized paperwork, he handled everything—including the test. The process moved faster than most people say it does, even during the holidays. If I ever need to petition changes or apply for a Type 41 license, I won’t hesitate to work with this team again. Having them by my side made all the difference.

Mike Ayaz and team were instrumental in helping us secure a liquor license at a property with a history of disciplinary actions by the ABC. From start to finish, they kept us well informed and handled the entire process professionally while coordinating the licensing process between us, our escrow team and the staff at our local ABC office. We highly recommend their services.

Mr. Ayaz is not only a fantastic lawyer but also a genuine great person. He went out of his way to help me through my situation, alleviate my worrying and get everything back on track for me. His legal staff are all fantastic, friendly, reliable and easy to work with. To put it simply the man is an expert in his field and it is not up for debate. I could not be more happy with the entire experience. From meeting him, to follow ups to the final outcome the whole thing was a home run.

We’ve been working with Blake & Ayaz for several years now, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with their expertise and commitment to our business. With 8 locations across various industries—including gas stations, liquor stores, and smoke shops—our legal needs are both diverse and complex. Blake & Ayaz have consistently provided us with top-tier legal counsel across all aspects of our operations. What stands out the most is their deep understanding of the unique challenges businesses in our sectors face. From compliance issues to contract negotiations, licensing, and even resolving disputes, they’ve been a reliable partner every step of the way. Their team is not only highly knowledgeable but also accessible and easy to work with, which makes navigating tough legal situations much more manageable. They have a knack for breaking down complex legal language into clear, actionable advice, and always make sure we’re equipped to make the best decisions for our business. Their proactive approach has saved us time, money, and hassle on numerous occasions. Blake & Ayaz have proven themselves to be an essential part of our team, and I highly recommend them to any business looking for a law firm that combines professionalism with a personal touch.

Would highly recommend their office for any type of liquor law assistance, as that is what I can speak to. I appreciated their knowledge and expertise in the matters I need help with most.

A great firm and a great staff willing to put in the work, resulted in a great outcome. Thanks again to this team for all of their hard work and commitment. True professionals from start to finish.

So thankful for Mr. Ayaz. He ended up giving us free legal advice over the phone without taking our case. His advice got us a favorable outcome in regards to our violation. I highly recommend anyone to consult with Mr. Ayaz if they run into any troubles with the ABC. The office was able to look at my violation and give advice within an hour of my call. Great experience!

I had the pleasure of working with Michael Ayaz on a recent matter. He was representing us in connection with an appeal from a neighbor. I found him to be an excellent subject matter expert. He provided clear guidance. He was a thorough communicator. I've had different attorneys represent me for different business matters and so I think he would be a good representative for an experienced client. His thoroughness with communication also causes me to think he would be a good attorney for a less experienced client who might be dealing with a complex or serious legal matter for the first time. Overall, excellent experience and good value.

Mike Ayaz of Blake and Ayaz is the lawyer you want in your corner. He represented me in a case brought on by ABC. It was already in a default judgment against me because ABC never properly notified me that there was a case against my establishment. Mike was able to get the default judgment thrown out and allowed me to start anew. The outcome was more than expected. I like that he did not sugarcoat anything. He was honest about my chances and the possible outcome from the beginning. Oh, and he took my call from day one. The other law firm took my name and said they would call back the following week. Mike always returns your phone calls and makes you feel like you're never alone and that you have the best lawyer representing you. He is a bull dog and that's what you need when dealing with ABC. I will also add that he took the time to know my wife and I personally and that he listens. I will forever be grateful for that. Lastly I will say that I so admire his quality of work that I have hired him for more legal work. Thank you Mike! 🍻

Great working with him! Excellent communication skills and he got on the case with very short notice. Very happy with the outcome. Highly recommend!
