I made tax mistakes as a 1099 contract worker several years ago and got myself into a brutal situation. I contacted Attorney Scott Bartkus and he immediately understood my problem and netted out options for me. Due to his depth of experience, Scott was able to choose the best path forward for me and my situation and finally put my mind at ease. Scott seems to be able to anticipate the IRS's every move and his personable and confident demeanor is very refreshing and explains everything in a way that is very easy to understand. His business savvy also is a huge help when negotiating with the IRS and was able to get me the very best deal possible. These situations are never easy and mine was as bad as any, but Scott consistently gave my case attention and I never had to wait for a reply, a phone call back, or left wondering for any reason. He is incredibly responsive, professional, talented - and probably most important of all - he is a brilliant guy to have in your corner. If you are struggling with the IRS in any way - Call Attorney Scott Bartkus - I guarantee it the be the best move you can make.

Attorney Berger was instrumental in smoothing what could have been a nightmare process. I sold property that was included in a bankruptcy proceeding from another state, and he didn’t bat an eye. As emails flew back and forth while details were being ironed out, he intercepted and responded sometimes before I ever laid eyes on the email, and answered any questions I had throughout the entire process. While Pennsylvania doesn’t require you have an attorney for closing, the peace of mind I got in his representation was priceless.

I received 5 answers to a question about a class action suit against Google, and a confusing emailed Subpeaona. 3 lawyers said it is was a scam; one was not at all helpful, but Mr. Savett knew exactly what I was talking about, verified that he had worked with the legal firm before, and gave me the answers I needed to relax and not feel so stressed about this legal matter. He was timely, concise and caring.

Excellent attorney! Hired Victor to represent us because my insurance company did not want to pay a valid claim. He prepared us and helped us deal with the insurance company's attorney and eventually they paid the claim. His prices were reasonable and fair and more importantly we won! Would definitely recommend him and would use him again .

This group is a very positive thinking group of Attorney's. Pleasant to be around. We were looking for an Attorney for Grandparent Rights. Called Ian. We went to court for the visitation rights. Our situation escalated very quickly emotionally. Mike stepped in to push for our time deserved with our grandchild and to push it farther. Escalated to a situation once again on a holiday morning. Texted Ian just to let him know what was going on. I never expected any answer back. He was on the phone immediately giving us the advise we needed. The situation hit what I would say an emergency and David also got involved. These 3 gentlemen I feel felt the anxiety and hurt we were feeling. The 3 of them together as a team had to work very fast and hard to make our grandchild's life safe again. The rose to the challenge. I am proud of them for what they and their staff have done for us. We are now the Adoptive parents of our Grandchild. the child will never have to fear again. Just be a kid. You guys and your staff. You were GREAT!

I reached out to this law firm for assistance because I wanted to remove myself from the Intellectual Disability system which can only be done in court. Okay, so I received a response from them saying no one can assist me at this time but provided contact for Lehigh County: Intellectual Disabilities which I am certainly NOT contacting. I said I want to be removed from the IDD system, correct? Did I say anything at all about providing me contact so people can talk me out of it? I am not that stupid… I know what would happen...
Understandable they cannot assist but they clearly provided a contact for Lehigh County, they did NOT even provide a contact for an attorney who might be able to assist. Seriously??? And do not even refer me to attorneys who works for this system...
It's not so much I am not happy for any help given. It's "oh he has an IDD and needs to speak with someone other than an attorney"... And now if myself or anyone else would call this law firm out or any other law office and they have no problems at all by assisting in terms of contacting the police...

I had the pleasure of working with Zach. I was extremely impressed with his dedication, hard work and expertise. His hard work and thorough preparation was evident before and during trial, which led to a successful outcome for my case. He took all the time that was needed to ensure I was well prepared and made sure I was educated and understood the process and exactly what was going on. I felt prepared and informed every step of the way with Zach. During trial he was able to impressively manage legal complexities while at the same time making sure I understood exactly what was proceeding, His communication, attention to detail and preparation made all the difference in my case having a positive outcome. I would not think twice to work with Zach again. I give Attorney Fowler my highest recommendation to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation.

I engaged them for a legal consultation on 04/01. They insisted on full payment of $200 before the meeting which was not a deal breaker for me however not standard practice. A partner jumped on a video call with me for 35-40 minutes.
I left the meeting with more questions and confusion than I had before and no clear strategy from my "legal consultation".
She told me I should contact her over her email/phone however my calls or emails have not been returned for the past 8 days.
Felt unprofessional and a quick money grab to be honest.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law. They can also help prevent legal disputes or represent you in negotiations, transactions, or lawsuits that arise during the course of business operations.
Business lawyers have expertise in areas such as business formation, contract law, intellectual property, employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.
When Should I Hire a Business Lawyer?
Hiring a business lawyer is essential at various stages of business development, including:
- Forming a business: When deciding on the best structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), a lawyer can guide you through the registration and compliance process.
- Drafting contracts: If you need contracts for employees, partners, suppliers, or clients, a lawyer ensures these documents are legally sound and in your best interest.
- Mergers, acquisitions, or dissolutions: If you are buying, selling, or dissolving a company, legal counsel is critical to avoid costly mistakes.
- Compliance and regulatory issues: A lawyer can help navigate complex regulations, particularly in industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.
- Resolving disputes: Whether it's contract disagreements, intellectual property infringement, or employment issues, a business lawyer helps mediate, negotiate, or litigate on your behalf.
What Does a Business Lawyer Do?
Business lawyers provide a wide range of services that cater to different legal needs of a business. They can:
- Help you choose the best legal structure for your business.
- Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with employees, suppliers, customers, or business partners.
- Ensure regulatory compliance with local, state, and federal laws.
- Advise on tax strategies to minimize your business's tax burden.
- Assist with intellectual property protection, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights.
- Handle mergers, acquisitions, and business sales, ensuring all legal paperwork is in order.
- Resolve disputes through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation.
How Are Business Lawyers Paid?
Business lawyers typically charge either by the hour or on a flat-fee basis, depending on the complexity of the work. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rates: The lawyer charges based on the time spent working on your case. Rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fees: For certain tasks, such as incorporating a business or drafting a standard contract, a lawyer may offer a flat fee.
- Retainer: Some businesses may hire a lawyer on retainer, paying a fixed amount each month to have ongoing access to legal services.
The payment structure is often discussed during an initial consultation so you can choose the one that best suits your business needs and budget.
How Much Does a Business Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a business lawyer depends on factors such as:
- The complexity of the legal issue: More complex matters, like mergers or intellectual property disputes, typically cost more than routine tasks like contract drafting.
- The lawyer's experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in larger cities often charge higher fees.
- The nature of the billing arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $150 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer's expertise. Flat fees are usually available for simpler matters like forming an LLC or drafting a standard contract.
It's essential to discuss fee structures upfront to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer
Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with businesses like mine?
Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry. -
What services do you offer?
Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution. -
What are your fees, and how do you bill?
Get clarity on how you'll be charged - whether by the hour, flat fee, or retainer. -
How do you handle conflicts of interest?
Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business. -
Can you provide references from other business clients?
Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism. -
Do you have experience in my specific industry?
Industry-specific knowledge can be crucial, especially in highly regulated fields like healthcare or finance.
How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is in good standing and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
- Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
- Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.
- A list of legal issues or concerns: Be ready to discuss any potential legal challenges, such as regulatory compliance, disputes, or transactions.
- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
- Questions about fees and billing: Ensure you understand the lawyer’s payment structure and fees upfront.
By preparing these materials, you can ensure that your first meeting with a business lawyer is productive and informative.
