The attornies at Melman & Mugno LLC are exceptional in child custody cases. Matt represented me and was very straightforward about the possible outcomes and always seemed to be one step ahead in planning our defense strategy. This was my first court encounter and they made sure to work together and make me feel secure which made the whole stressful process much more bearable. I am profoundly grateful for their services. If I were to ever be in need of legal help I would defiantly keep them in mind.

I found Laputka Law Offices on line. I was unsure of my options about bankruptcy and what to do through this difficult time. I called for a consultation, and after my first session, I knew I had nothing too fear. The whole staff was friendly, concerned about my situation, and very professional through the whole process. My thanks to the Laputka Law Offices, for making my life, enjoyable and at ease once again.

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.

She literally charged me 2,000$ and didn’t do the one thing I asked her to do which was to get text messages that says that I threatened somebody. She literally took the easiest way out possible! She has zero litigation skills at all!!! I will now hire a new lawyer and keep you guys posted on the out come. This lady once again is a terrible lawyer!!

I called for a "free" consultation and I was offered the choices of receiving it over the phone or in person. Due to covid-19, I chose over the phone for safety reasons. The lady then told me that over the phone, the charges would be $200 for this "free" consultation. When I asked her why, she replied with "Um, its because in person its more detailed for the attorney.' As if that makes any sense or is a logical reason to cough up $200. The point of a consultation is to ask questions about your case and receive advice and feedback. From there one can determine if said attorney is the proper person to hire for a case. Attorneys advertising "free" when in fact they're just money hungry is ridiculous. I'm sick of it.

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 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 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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
