Trusted Team Leader Takes Ownership Stake, Deepening the Firm’s Commitment to Clients and Long-Term Stability

VALENCIA, CA. — Koegle Law Group, APC is proud to announce that Lucas E. Rowe has become an Equity Shareholder and Partner of the firm, effective July 1, 2026. This milestone reflects both the firm’s confidence in Lucas and a deliberate commitment to building an institution that serves clients with depth, stability, and leadership well into the future.

Lucas joined Koegle Law Group as a partner-level attorney in June 2024 and has been a cornerstone of the firm’s litigation and counseling practice groups, representing employers and business owners in matters ranging from employment-litigation defense and wage-and-hour compliance to complex business disputes and corporate compliance. He is licensed in California and Ohio and brings deep expertise in the employment and business law landscapes that define the firm’s core practice groups.

“I have worked for several firms over the years,” said Partner Lucas E. Rowe, “and having the opportunity to become a shareholder in a firm led by a powerhouse attorney like Brian Koegle is an amazing opportunity.” 

The decision to bring Lucas in as an equity owner is part of a broader strategic commitment by Koegle Law Group to grow as an institution—not simply as a practice built around a single attorney. With Lucas as a Shareholder, every major client relationship has depth and continuity, and the firm’s future no longer depends on any one person.

Lucas will continue to serve our existing clients without interruption and will take on expanded leadership responsibilities within the firm, including a seat on the firm’s Executive Committee.

Koegle Law Group represents employers and business owners across the full spectrum of employment law, including litigation defense, HR compliance, wage-and-hour counseling, PAGA matters, and workplace investigations.

Contact Koegle Law Group to schedule a consultation and get clarity on how we can help guide your business the right way.

There’s a familiar moment at Chamber events.

A friend comes over, you get to chatting about business, and they say, “Oh! I know who you need to talk to.”

No big sales pitch. No elaborate consultation needed. Just an impromptu introduction that suddenly opens new doors. 

That kind of referral matters in Santa Clarita. In this community, relationships carry weight and reputations grow through repeated experiences. People remember who showed up, followed through and took good care of someone they know.

But referrals also have limits.

They rely on someone remembering you at the right moment, explaining your value clearly, and passing your name along with conviction.

Even then, the person being referred still needs enough confidence to take the next step.

And as a firm grows—adding team members, serving more clients and expanding its footprint in the market—referrals alone may not be enough to carry the brand into its next chapter.

That doesn’t mean referrals stop mattering.

It means your reputation needs to travel further.

Your reputation can only travel so far on someone else’s words. Thoughtful content writing gives it a voice of its own.

When approached with strategy, content writing becomes an extension of the client experience you’ve already worked so hard to create.

Think about what happens when someone works with a professional service firm.

They arrive with questions, confusion or stress. Maybe they’re facing a decision that feels too complicated, too personal or too important to get wrong.

But as they talk it out with their advisor, the process becomes clearer. The next step feels manageable. The anxiety softens. They begin to trust that they’re in capable hands.

That experience is marketing.

Not in the loud, promotional sense.

In the deepest sense.

Because people remember how you made them feel when the stakes were high.

And that same feeling can carry into your content.

A blog makes a complex topic easier to understand. A newsletter keeps clients and referral partners connected to your thinking. Educational articles answer questions the reader hasn’t figured out how to ask yet.

Written content helps future clients feel what current clients already know.

At SchlickArt, we help professional service firms turn their expertise, values and client experience into content that builds trust, strengthens referrals and reaches new audiences.

See how one Santa Clarita law firm used thoughtful content as part of a connected marketing strategy—and achieved a 6x ROI.

Joint initiative between DEO and DPSS will provide paid work experience, job training, and employment opportunities for CalWORKs recipients

Los Angeles, CA — The Los Angeles County Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and the Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) today announced the launch of the Transitional Subsidized Employment Plus Program (TSE Plus), a pilot program designed to connect California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) Greater Avenues for Independence (GAIN) participants to paid employment, job training, and career pathways in high-growth industries. The program is now open for enrollment. 

TSE Plus responds to a call by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to examine how the County's safety net and public workforce systems can better work together to support residents in achieving economic mobility and meet the talent needs of local industries. Through a $6 million investment from DPSS and the California Department of Social Services' (CDSS) Expanded Subsidized Employment (ESE) Program, the pilot will serve up to 200 participants across high-need service areas. Program services will be delivered with support from DPSS GAIN Region III San Gabriel Valley and GAIN Region VI Southeast County, and the Pomona Valley and Rio Hondo America’s Job Centers of California, and engage a variety of training providers and employers as worksites and hiring partners.  

The TSE Plus Program offers a structured, individualized model that connects participants to one of three program pathways based on their experience level and career goals. This includes up to a year of paid work experience, job training through worker and industry-informed High Road Training Partnerships, and direct matching and on-the-job training with hiring employers. The pathways are designed to meet participants where they are and deliver support, skills, professional experience, and wages. All participants receive work-readiness training, financial and digital literacy instruction, career counseling, and assistance in obtaining a job with family-sustaining wages upon completion of the program. Childcare, transportation assistance, and other supportive services are also available throughout the program. 

“Far too often, our workforce and public benefits systems operate separately, leaving families to navigate unnecessary barriers on their own,” said Los Angeles County Board Chair and First District Supervisor Hilda L. Solis. “This pilot reflects a more coordinated approach that recognizes people should be able to pursue career growth without losing the support they rely on to care for their families. Los Angeles County is making targeted investments that help residents strengthen their long-term economic stability while meeting the evolving needs of our regional economy.”

“Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a stable career and provide for their family, but too often our systems are not designed to help people take that next step,” said Fourth District Supervisor Janice Hahn. “This program helps our CalWORKs participants get paid experience, job training, and a real pathway into good-paying jobs in growing industries. I am hopeful this creates real economic opportunity for people that lasts.”

"The TSE Plus Program will help our local workers earn wages while building the skills, experiences, and financial security they need to access quality jobs and careers that meet their family needs and drive inclusive and sustainable growth in our economy,” said Kelly LoBianco, Director of DEO. “Together, DEO and DPSS are rethinking how we connect our safety and public workforce system and ensure economic opportunity and mobility for all.”

“The partnership between DEO and DPSS reflects the County’s commitment to aligning workforce development and supportive services to support GAIN participants on their path toward economic mobility. The TSE Plus Program creates a new approach to connecting our participants to employment opportunities, career pathways, and supportive services,” – DPSS

GAIN participants in the Southeast LA and San Gabriel Valley areas who are interested in the TSE Plus should speak with their GAIN Services Worker to determine eligibility and request a referral. Businesses interested in partnering to host a paid temporary worker may fill out an interest form at bit.ly/TSEemployers.

Opportunities for Growth Include Education on True Cost of Water and Water Potability 

Customers remain satisfied with the overall performance of SCV Water, according to the results of the Agency’s 2026 Customer Opinion Survey. The survey, conducted by third-party consultant True North Research, discovered that the majority of customers were satisfied with the water service received, as well as SCV Water’s communications, accurate billing statements, and customer service. 

“We are pleased to see continued improvement in the level of customer satisfaction. It is also very helpful to hear about areas of concern and ways we can improve our service and communication. The survey results are a testament to our staff’s dedication to meeting our customers’ needs,” said SCV Water General Manager Matt Stone. “We remain committed to providing high-quality water and service to the Santa Clarita Valley community.” 

The survey revealed that 93% of customers believe the Agency provides them with reliable water service and communicates effectively about scheduled repairs, service disruptions, 

and other water-related issues. There was also a significant jump in customer satisfaction for people who contacted SCV Water, from 68% in 2023 to 81% in 2026. 

Continuing Education on Water Quality and Rates 

The 2026 Customer Opinion Survey uncovered opportunities for SCV Water to strengthen community outreach and engagement. It is the Agency’s responsibility to ensure that customers feel confident in their water quality and understand the cost of their water service. To gauge the Agency’s performance in those areas, participants were asked about their thoughts on the safety of their water and if SCV Water provides good value for the cost of water services. Results included: 

• When asked if the water they’re provided is safe to drink, 70% of customers were satisfied. That remaining 30% represents an opportunity for improved communication on the water quality provided by SCV Water. 

• When asked their opinion of the cost of water services, 54% of customers felt their bill was too high, which is down 2% from 2023. After clarification that SCV Water provides water at a cost that is less than a penny per gallon, many customers changed their opinions, with 53% saying they get water at an excellent or good value, and an additional 24% believing the rates are fair.

Every business owner asking “should we use AI?” is really asking a simpler question: will it make us more money?

Fair question. So let’s skip the hype and answer it directly - because whether you run a restaurant, a law firm, a medical office, a real estate brokerage, a home service company, or a retail shop, the most repetitive, revenue-leaking tasks in your business can now be handed to AI agents: software that doesn’t just follow a script, but understands context, makes decisions, and takes action across the tools you already use.

We build these systems for a living, right here in Valencia. And after deploying them across more than a half dozen industries, we’ve noticed the revenue gains consistently come from five places. Here’s where to look in your own business.

1. Every Inquiry Answered - Phone, Chat, or Email

What happens when someone contacts your business at 7:45 on a Tuesday night? For most local businesses, the honest answer is voicemail or an unread inbox and most prospects who hit voicemail simply call the next name on their list.

Modern conversational AI answers every phone call in a natural human voice, responds to website chats, and handles routine emails - 24/7. It books the appointment into your calendar, takes the order accurately, answers the “are you open Sunday?” questions, and hands off smoothly to a human when a conversation genuinely needs one. For appointment-based businesses, a single recovered after-hours call can be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. Multiply that across a year.

2. The Back Office That Runs Itself

This is the least glamorous category and often the biggest payoff. Think about the work that happens after the customer says yes: invoices to process, documents to review, data to re-enter from one system into another, new clients or employees to onboard, approvals to chase.

AI-powered process automation now handles complex, multi-step workflows - reading documents, extracting the relevant information, updating your CRM or accounting system, and flagging only the exceptions that need human judgment. Businesses automating these workflows routinely cut manual work dramatically. Run the math on your own operation: your team size × hours per week spent on repetitive admin × average hourly cost. For a typical 10–15 person business, the annual number is usually startling and that’s money you recover without selling anything new.

3. Sales Follow-Up That Never Drops the Ball

Ask any business owner where deals die, and the answer is rarely “we lost on price.” It’s the follow-up that never happened. The lead that sat in an inbox over the weekend. The quote that was never chased.

An AI sales agent researches and enriches every lead, qualifies it against your criteria, sends personalized follow-ups on schedule, and keeps your CRM updated automatically - so your salespeople spend their time closing, not doing data entry. Speed matters here more than most owners realize: the odds of converting a lead drop sharply within minutes of the inquiry. An instant, intelligent response beats a competitor’s next-morning callback almost every time.

4. Answers From Your Data, Not Just Spreadsheets

Most local businesses are sitting on data they never use - sales history, customer patterns, seasonal trends, job costs - because nobody has time to dig through spreadsheets. AI analytics agents monitor that data continuously, spot the patterns (which service line is quietly becoming your most profitable, which customers are about to churn, which month you should staff up), and deliver plain-English reports with recommendations. Better decisions, made faster, are a revenue strategy of their own.

5. Industry-Specific Wins

The most valuable AI isn’t generic - it’s built for how your industry actually works:

• Restaurants: automated phone ordering, menu recommendations, reservation management
• Law firms: client intake, legal research assistance, document drafting support
• Healthcare practices: appointment scheduling, prescription refill automation, patient follow-up and reminders
• Real estate: lead qualification and scoring, property matching, market analysis
• Home services: after-hours booking, estimate scheduling, job follow-up
• Retail and e-commerce: inventory forecasting, cart abandonment recovery, personalized recommendations
• Logistics and operations: real-time tracking dashboards, proactive alerts, document validation

How to Start Without Betting the Business

The businesses getting real ROI from AI aren’t “transforming everything.” They start with one workflow - usually the one leaking the most time or revenue - prove the return, then expand. A good implementation follows three phases: discover the highest-cost workflow, build the agent on your actual business data and test it thoroughly, and deploy it with monitoring so it keeps improving. And a good AI system fits into the tools you already use - your calendar, CRM, POS, phone system - you should never have to rebuild your business around it.

For many business owners, social media has become part of the daily business environment—even when the posts themselves happen outside of work.

Employees may list their employer on LinkedIn, connect with managers on personal platforms, comment on workplace issues online, or include a disclaimer such as, “views are my own.” While that kind of disclaimer may seem helpful, it does not always answer the more practical question employers face:

What happens when online activity starts to affect the workplace?

That is especially important for California employers, where workplace expectations, employee rights, company policies, and manager decision-making often need to be considered together.

At Koegle Law Group, we work with businesses that want to build clearer policies and stronger systems before uncertainty turns into a larger workplace issue. Social media is one area where proactive planning can be especially helpful, because the line between personal expression and workplace impact is not always easy to identify in the moment.

The goal is not to monitor every online interaction or make social media feel more complicated than it already is. It is to create clarity.

When employees understand expectations around professionalism, confidentiality, and workplace conduct, businesses are better positioned to respond consistently. When managers understand appropriate boundaries online, leadership decisions can be made with greater confidence. When policies are reviewed before concerns arise, employers have a stronger foundation for addressing issues thoughtfully.

For Santa Clarita business owners, this topic is especially relevant because social media visibility often overlaps with reputation, workplace culture, customer relationships, and team communication. Whether your business is growing, updating its handbook, training managers, or simply reviewing how online conduct fits into your workplace policies, this is an area worth thinking through before a concern lands on your desk.

In our recent article, Koegle Law Group shares practical considerations for California employers, including:

• Why employee social media disclaimers may not provide the protection businesses expect
• How online activity can create workplace questions even when posts are personal
• Why manager-employee social media connections deserve careful thought
• How workplace policies can help set clearer expectations
• Why handbook language, training, and documentation should work together
• When social media concerns may call for a more careful review of the circumstances

The article is designed to help employers think through social media policies in a practical, business-minded way—with a focus on clarity, consistency, and proactive planning.

Read the full article here: Do Employee Social Media Disclaimers Protect Employers?

At Koegle Law Group, we partner with California employers and business owners to provide practical guidance, clear communication, and proactive legal strategies designed to support informed decision-making over time.

This communication may be considered advertising material under the rules of professional conduct governing lawyers in California.

Most business owners we know are not short on effort.

They’re showing up. They’re taking the photos. They’re posting when they can. They’re trying to remember the newsletter, the event recap, the holiday message, the client spotlight, the team update, and the “we should probably say something about this” post that always seems to appear out of nowhere.

So naturally, a content calendar feels like the answer.

And honestly? It helps.

A good calendar gives your marketing some structure. It helps you plan ahead, organize ideas and avoid that familiar last-minute scramble of wondering what to post before the week disappears.

But a calendar can only take you so far.

Because consistency is not just about filling boxes with content ideas. It’s about knowing what each piece of content is supposed to do for your business.

Is this post building trust?
Is this blog moving future clients down your sales pipeline?
Is this photo helping people recognize you before they ever meet you?

That’s the difference between a content calendar and a marketing system.

A content calendar tells you what to publish.

A marketing system helps you understand why it matters, where it belongs and how it supports your bigger goals.

For Santa Clarita business owners, that distinction matters. This is a relationship-driven community. People may hear about your business at a Chamber event, see your face online, read something helpful weeks later and then finally reach out when the timing is right.

Your marketing can support that whole journey.

Not with random activity. Not with content created just to “stay active.” But with a connected plan that helps people understand who you are, what you do, why it matters and how to take the next step when they’re ready.

At SchlickArt, we help service-based businesses build that kind of connection. As your fractional marketing team, we bring strategy, photography, video, writing and implementation together so your content isn't just organized—it’s working toward something.

Because the goal is not to make more marketing for the sake of more marketing.

The goal is to create a system that helps your business stay visible, credible and consistent in a way that actually supports growth.

If your content calendar is full but your marketing still feels scattered, it may be time to grow beyond the calendar.

We’re sharing how to move from a content calendar to a stronger marketing system—and why that shift can help growing businesses stay consistent with more clarity and purpose.
