I was let go from a previous job in a rather messy fashion. So messy, that many lawyers weren't even interested in the case. When the mess extended and overturned my unemployment benefits, the lawyer I had previously hired stopped representing me. With the deadline to appeal looming within only a week, I was at the end of my rope. Then, I was put in touch with Jeffrey Varszegi.
Jeffrey worked tirelessly, before even deciding whether he should take my case. He didn't have much experience in unemployment law, had to review the load of technicalities and documentation I provided, and had little time to decide whether or not he could defend me to the utmost. Within a day, he knew that I had a case-- a case he would be confident in defending.
In the months before a judgement was offered, I knew that Jeff had worked his utmost on my case and was already satisfied with his dedication. The months were tiring, and the case had its twists and surprises. Lo and behold, Jeff's expert review of legal decisions, incisive reasoning, expert writing, and persusasive explanations led to my case being decided in my favor, after years of faltering.
I'm honored and proud to have had Jeffrey represent me, would consider him first in the future, and I would recommend him to anyone who is willing to value his talent as an attorney.

Ed was an amazing lawyer during my lengthy multi-year case. Ed always had a great attitude, provided legal explanations to me, made sure I knew next steps and gave me guidance throughout the case. In this very complicated case, Ed put the time in to understand an almost endless list of details needed for a positive outcome. It was comforting to know that Ed really understood our case and that he didn't treat it as just another legal process/case. It was easy to tell from the beginning that he cared. I would easily without any doubt recommend Ed.

Not long ago, Edward Denn was retained by my husband and myself regarding a personal injury that was sustained. In the past, I had worked with attorneys on a daily basis as a paralegal and knew beyond a doubt that Ed was the one to handle our case. Ed was always there for us. We were kept informed daily of anything happening with our case. He was very approachable, kind and extremely knowledgeable. Ed went above and beyond the call of duty in the research of our case. Weekends and weeknights were common occurrences for Ed in his drive to achieve an acceptable end. I would highly, highly recommend Ed. He has the knowledge and drive to obtain successful results.

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. -

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:

- 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.
