Mr. Grossman is a man of integrity. He cares for the needs of the client and what is best for the client. Everything that had to be done in our case was done in an EXCELLENT manner. Should you ever need a bankruptcy attorney, visit his office at Fraley & Fraley in Sacramento. Throughout this bankruptcy ordeal, the one good thing that came out of it was meeting him and the entire staff at Fraley & Fraley. Unlike other attorneys, they truly care about their clients
I WOULD RECOMMEND ANDREW GROSSMAN & STAFF AT FRALEY & FRALEY TO ANYONE NEEDING AN ATTORNEY
(A previous attorney had mis-handled our case so badly. The office of Fraley & Fraley was a God-send, that cleaned up the mess)

I went through a foreclosure this year and the holder of the 2nd mortgage is trying to collect. Andrew Grossman was extremely knowledgeable about my case he gave me free advice. He printed out forms for both my taxes and for my legal case. He recommended against bankruptcy and spelled out clearly why the mortgager had no real case against me. Free advice and no pressure for him to take my case. He was honest, knowledgeable and helpful. He deserves a perfect score and i would recommend him to anyone.

Constantine Frangopoulos Esq, was able to resolve a boundary line Issue that was not addressed by the previous attorney that represented me on the Sale of my Home. Further Mr. Frangopoulos was able to close the sale of the house in an efficient, thorough, and quick manner. In addition to the sale Mr. Frangopoulos represented me and my wife on the purchase of the new home which was owned by an Estate. The new home was riddled with municipality issues that Constantine was able to identify and effectively negotiate a significant credit towards the purchase price and close the purchase in a seamless and smooth fashion.
Mr. Frangopoulos kept both myself and my wife apprised in all aspects during the course of both transactions. I would highly recommend him he is a very competent Real Estate Attorney.

I had contacted Mona with an administrative decision that pertained to the area of ethics. She subsequently explained she could not represent me. Her advise as far as a plan of action proved to be extremely helpful.She was professional, not only did she provide a plan of action, but also options. I felt comforted, understood and not alone at a point in my life when I felt helpless. Thanks for all you do, and the personal attention you managed to provide to me.

This attorney was recommended to me unfortunately I wish she was not since her involvement costed the children to lose their parent for 3 years. Mona made a perfectly safe parent unsafe by convincing me to take supervised visits to prove our point which was used to make a “Refrain from order” a “stay away”. I was forced to be supervised amongst my two children while I taught 220 elementary to middle school children unsupervised- the stupidity is beyond comprehension. On top of it all, I was forced to not see my kids for 6 weeks because of her ill fated advise in her arrangement of a supervisor. Mona is the reason why I lost my children- please, please pick a better attorney and research them not taking recommendation. Also, her advice caused an arrest almost costing me my teaching job in which she commented many people get arrested even teachers. I am horrified and such will be further documented.

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.
