This firm represented my former partner in a custody case. They repeatedly made basic errors - miscalculating support numbers and simply not understanding the application of law. Their errors significantly added to the conflict between myself and my former partner. I wished she would have had better representation - it would have saved everyone a great deal of heartache.

Erin has had my back the entire time through my divorce. She gets back to me, usually, with hours. I felt very strongly that we had a mutually trustful relationship. She trusted that I realistically knew my situation and I trusted her knowledge of the law and opposing counsel. As birds of a feather flock together, I would trust anyone at her firm and all her recommendations.

I highly recommend Attorney Pawnee Davis for any child custody or child support matters. She was incredibly patient, detail-oriented, and thorough throughout the entire process. Attorney Davis consistently responded to my questions quickly, ensuring I felt informed and supported every step of the way.
Despite the challenges posed by a difficult opposing party, she successfully protected my custody arrangement, allowing me to keep my son in a stable environment. She also ensured that child support remained in place, which was critical for my son's well-being.
Her expertise, professionalism, and dedication made all the difference. If you’re looking for an attorney who truly cares about achieving the best outcome for your family, Pawnee Davis is the one to call!

My experience with the PA Davis Law Office has been excellent! Ms. Davis and her team provided invaluable assistance in updating a joint custody agreement while serving overseas in the military. Navigating the complexities of military service and updating a legal custody agreement could have been incredibly challenging, but Ms. Davis and her team handled it with expertise and professionalism. I had reached out to several attorneys, but due to the unique circumstances of my case and where i was stationed, they were unable to assist. Being from Maryland, I was relieved to find that the PA Davis Law Office team had the necessary expertise as they cover the DC/MD/VA area. The initial communication was a bit challenging because of the time zone difference pertaining to the update of the case, but Ms. Sofia and the team were extremely patient and understanding, which I really appreciated. I am grateful to Ms. Davis for taking on my case and to the entire team for their dedication and support throughout the process.

Very poor communication. Can take months before you get a response. I do not recommend. I totally regretted engaging the services of Raju. You're better off drafting your petition yourself because that is what it'll boil down to, you're on your own.

My experience with Raju Law was very disappointing due to poor communication. Throughout the entire process, I never had the opportunity to speak directly with the attorney handling my case. Instead, I was always redirected to the paralegal, who often provided vague or incomplete information. This lack of direct access to the attorney left me feeling ignored and uncertain about the status of my case. The communication issues became so frustrating that I ultimately had to withdraw my case from their firm. I expected a higher level of professionalism and client care, and unfortunately, Raju Law fell far short of that.

I contacted Jeremy Rachlin after learning an attorney had swindled my elderly mother shortly before her death and violated a dozen other laws. Unbeknownst to me, the attorney was a friend of Mr. Rachlin. Client Intake Sheets other details preceded a 180 degree change in demeanor and sudden doubt in the facts of my case, upon Mr. Rachlin's learning the name of the attorney. One understands if Mr. Rachlin did not want to sue a friend. To then reference my case as “threatening a colleague” and the stress the unlikelihood of finding representation against said attorney, lacked judgement. Apparent obstructive actions to prevent representation/protect his friend, seem to be ongoing.
Recently, another firm admitted they were aware Jeremy Rachlin knew the attorney in question and had declined my case. Though squarely in their specialization, w/o consult & acknowledgement they had not reviewed case or documentation, they then stated they would not take my case. I had not spoken to Mr. Rachlin in over a year nor mentioned his name to anyone at the firm.

DOES NOT DESERVE ANY STARS!!! This Law Firm is Very unprofessional. Shouldn’t a law firm who specializes in contract cases know in the beginning about what is usually expected. This office does not communicate with their clients. I had to call them to find out about what is going on with the case. There are far better options out there in the DMV area.

We met Joe in 2010 when we were facing a very difficult situation between our partners that resulted in a buyout. Things had to be handled in a very quick and controlled manner. Joe listened very carefully to our situation and quickly understood our needs and desires. He organized a plan and executed the terms and agreements for a buyout with all the safe guards imaginable. He took a very scary situation for us and made it smooth and easy!
Since then our practice has grown exponentially and Joe has been an adviser to us for many matters and he has helped us with compliance, contracts, practice purchases as well as many other services.
We can reach him when we need him. He remembers details, and he is always clear, fair and friendly.
He has truly become a friend to us, not just a lawyer.

I hired the law firm of Mr. Ghosal. He was handling my case. There was an important issue with time. He went on vacation the following week and did not give my documents to another attorney to deal with. He later had an unsupported opinion (no references to the documents etc. given to him in the case, just wide vague statements) issued to me and was ready to charge me for the time spent for "investigating the case." When I asked for reasons for the opinion, I was not given one. Then I asked to contact a senior attorney in the firm who could review the opinion I was given. That did not happen; instead my agreement was canceled and my retainer was returned. I can support all that I have stated with documents including emails, if necessary.

Mr. Ghosal is an exceptional lawyer and is extremely helpful with my case. He is very knowledgeable, responsive and has an outstanding ability to listen and understand the issues that I face. He provided valuable guidance and suggested multiple solutions. He also showed deep genuine interest in resolving my problems and is very supportive. I would gladly recommend, without reservation, Mr. Ghosal to friends and family.

I used Mr. Woll for my divorce proceedings and was extremely dissatisfied. If you need an attorney with effective negotiation skills, a clear strategy, and the ability to handle your case efficiently, he is NOT the right choice. He failed to achieve the results I sought and, at the time of the trial, admitted he wasn't prepared. Therefore, he convinced me to sign a settlement agreement I didn't want, assuring me it would protect me. Six months later, I had to hire another lawyer and spend an additional $6K on further legal action. While his rates are low, the service reflects the price. He is a good person but not a good divorce attorney.

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.
