I can’t say enough good things about the service I received from Alex Metrakis and his firm. It was hard to find an attorney to handle my case as I was the tenant and not the landlord but Alex accepted my case. Alex is a tough negotiator and very knowledgeable about the law. He achieved a very positive outcome for me in addition to being patient, responsive and professional.

We got to know Bravlin through our friend, Ana, who has also worked with the firm on her immigration case. Specifically, we worked with Kendall to help with our case. We are very grateful to have worked with her as our legal representative. Everything was smooth and easy. They are professional to have worked with. They have been responsive to all our questions while at the same time being helpful and proactive in providing guidance along the way. Their paralegals, Janya & Talia, were all supportive as well making timely communications to us as we receive important documents/ notices from USCIS. We highly recommend anyone needing immigration assistance to go with them and all they'll need is just to relax and wait for the process.

Vikrant is excellent attorney. I hired him to set up a company LLC. He was very clear about the process and timelines. He was responsive and helpful throughout and the LLC was set up quickly with no issues.

We engaged Vikrant for help with a Membership Interest Sale Agreement for our small business. He is a good listener, articulate and knowledgeable, and we were very happy with his advice for our particular situation and the indemnification language he suggested that we, as the buyers, include in the agreement. I highly recommend him!

Jack Jarrett was exceptionally skilled at quickly identifying the material facts; assessing the merit of the matter; presenting various scenarios and potential outcomes; and providing precise counsel concerning proposed next steps. He is an excellent listener who rapidly locks in on the core issues. I would certainly recommend Mr. Jarrett's services to friends and family--and anyone else in need of competent and effective counsel.

Jack was thrown into my case, which was an extraordinarily complex issue involving retaliation from a multi-billion dollar tech company & the laws regarding pay for "on-call time", about midway to summary judgement. The (also very talented) lawyer I had originally hired had received a higher calling from the White House that could not be ignored, and so Jack was thrown into the fray. Jack spent an inordinate amount of time with a MASSIVE amount of evidence to plow through and did so admirably and without hesistation or complaint. I was able to receive a considerable sum offered in settlement without having to drag myself through another potential few years of litigation. This allowed me to put the anger aside and get on with the business of living my life, which to me is worth more than gold! Jack is an excellent listener, who allows his clients to vent as necessary, but will not hesistate to tell you things that you *need* to hear, as opposed to things you *want* to hear....which is exactly what most people treading the waters of employment law require. All together a stand-up guy who will fight for your rights, tooth and nail.

Jack is a very talented and outstanding attorney! We were up against some high ranking military officials and when other attorneys may not take on a case of this stature, Jack stepped in and fought vigorously for me. He always kept me up-to-date regarding what was happening with my case and always provided me with great advice when it came to me making decisions. In the end, I won my case, we settled out of court and I was very pleased with the settlement package Jack negotiated for me. I was in awe with Jack’s talent… amazing!
I will not hesitate to use his services again if needed in the future. I highly recommend hiring this talented attorney if you require legal services.
Jack is a young shining star in the legal world!

I run a small tech group, and time and money are both at a premium. Ryan was exactly the right choice, as he knew the technical issues at hand along with the legal issues in our contracting process. He made unbelievably good use of the time spent - lawyers have high billable rates and Ryan's advice was clearly worth every penny.

I had my initial meeting with Attorney Ryan Brown on the afternoon of 10/20/2010. I walked away with piece of mind and feeling absolutely great about my startup business. Attorney Brown went above and beyond. Not only did he hit every single question on the head without hesitation or any uncertainty. He provided print outs referencing everything he'd mentioned. There was not a single question left unanswered. Beyond this, he offered additional input and was very thorough as though he was helping a dear friend or launching a business of his own. I have commited my company to his services for 6 months and will extend beyond this as long as my company is successful. I offered to leave this review on my own accord and was not asked to do so in any way. I highly recommend at least an initial sit down with attorney brown for your legal needs. I have no doubt anyone that receives legal counsel from Attorney Brown will certainly not regret it in the least. Thank you and good luck with your endeavours.

Elena guided me through a very difficult case of child custody. She is an excellent attorney who is very well prepared professionally but also is a good advisor and counsel. She proposed wise and measured approaches to very aggressive actions of the counterpart. She strongly defended my rights but at the same time she advised me not to loose the big picture. I trust without her legal advise I could have been stuck in custody litigation for years. She helped me out of a very complex situation and that saved me a lot of psychological distress and financial burden. I really appreciate the professionalism of Elena and her colleagues at Crowley Hodge & Fein P.C.
I strongly recommend Elena to any parent in need of a lawyer to defend his/her rights for child custody.

Our estate administrator engaged Mr. Fife after an estate with multiple heirs became bogged down. We wish we had used his services from the beginning instead of trying to do it ourselves. In spite of entering a situation in which heirs had become contentious, Mr. Fife’s calm, fact-based professionalism helped all parties to meet deadlines and achieve resolution. Mr. Fife listened carefully, took our concerns seriously and helped us understand the potential risks or rewards of the available options, helping us set priorities. He did not sugarcoat the hard realities of dealing with competing interests. He proactively explored and respected any limitations that were present with respect to time, budget and our roles as clients. He is precise, experienced and knowledgeable, but did not hesitate to research any points in question in advance of staking a claim on those points — to us a most valuable asset in an estate attorney.

We have a local attorney on retainer for general issues but when specific, detailed, important and/or general knowlege of an issue is important and required, Paul Breakman has been our 'go to guy' for all our legal, regulatory or legislative needs. Also whenever we see liability or exposure as a possibility to our organization we want Paul involved to make sure the appropriate I's & T's are dotted and crossed. Attentive, thorough, very prompt. Has never failed to deliver as expected. With Paul - give direction, get results. Gives me a comfortable feeling as an administrator, as I'm not an attorney that I am proceeding prudently and appropriately.

The characterization of Tom by "Tony" bears no resemblance to the diligent and hard-working attorney who represented the company I co-founded in several disputes, including a contentious and difficult litigation, ultimately negotiating a favorable settlement. Tom puts in the hours and put our minds at ease about the judicial proceedings. He combines the aggressiveness you want in your lawyer with the intelligence in crafting arguments and making complex strategy calls.+ The highest praise I could give is that, were I or my business facing a new legal dispute, his number would be the first one I would dial.

Richard Litman and his staff at Litman Law were amazing. I was referred by a long time friend/colleague who gave them a review that set the bar so high I thought to myself "There's no way they can meet my standards now". Now here I stand corrected. Not only did they're staff keep in close contact with me through the whole Patenting process, but also used there years of experience to help me avoid any snags or possible hang ups. At the end of the process I felt as if I knew every last one of them personally and I would like to take the time to thank them for there hard work and making me feel as if I was there only client.

As a small business owner, I need a great attorney who doesn't break the bank. That's exactly what I found in Ben. Every task I've asked of him has been done right, the first time. He always works efficiently, keeping costs down. I'll take Ben over an overpriced lawyer from a big firm every time. You won't find a better attorney for IP, contracts, and corporate law anywhere.

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.
