Ernie, Joanne and staff were and have been AMAZING through the entire process and ordeal I had to endure. From the moment I stepped foot into the office I felt supported, cared for and treated like a part of there family. Not one moment did I feel uneasy or uncertain to retain them!

Bottom line up front: The legal acumen of attorney Stone is striking. You will be treated with respect and dignity and you can rest assured that the capabilities of Atty. Stone are second to none.
I was referred to the law office of Ernest Stone because I had a case that was very complex. That term isn’t hyperbole, it touched many corners of the legal spectrum. Most of which I was very unfamiliar with and to my surprise most of the other Criminal Defense Attorneys I consulted were also concerningly unfamiliar. I spoke to Atty. Stones paralegal who answered on the first ring and had me in the office the next day. Face to face, I laid out the long and complex situation. Atty. Stone took meticulous notes while never breaking concentration on me or what I was saying and he even captured parts of my speech inflection that he instinctively knew were key points to my argument. Law aside, that is a perceptive skill not many people possess. Once I finished, we went item by item and discussed each section in clear and objective detail. Not a hint of confusion or unfamiliarity. Unparalleled legal advice without any hesitation. I mention this not because of the previous negative experiences I had but because I was/am genuinely impressed at Atty. Stones encyclopedic knowledge of the law, despite the obscurity of the situation. I was given clear and decisive advice and was treated with respect and dignity. I have no doubt in my mind that every person who walks through that door is treated the same exact way. The right of being innocent until proven otherwise is upheld to the highest standard from every member of his team.
This is both a review and testament to the Law Office of Attorney H. Ernest Stone.

My husband and I sought Attorney Metaxas regarding several business related disputes. We were very impressed with how many people recommended him to us. Attorney Metaxas handled all those cases for us diligently and in a timely and respectful manner. We immediately felt confident in his expertise and level of experience. We were also very comforted by his caring and personable demeanor. He kept us informed and at the same time coached and guided us in the process. He genuinely cared for us and our family. I highly recommend Attorney Metaxas without any reservation.

My spouse and I recently worked with WisePath Legal to create our first estate plan, and it was such a relief! As parents of two young kids, we wanted to ensure they’d be taken care of no matter what, but we didn’t know where to start.
The team at WisePath made everything easy to understand and guided us step-by-step. They helped us set up a will and trust, and even a kids’ protection plan, so we know our family is secure.
They were kind, professional, and completely focused on what was best for us. I can’t recommend them enough for any young family wanting peace of mind!

Barry Levine and his assistant Kathy Leahy were tremendous in their understanding of my personal financial situation. When you walk into the office, there is an immediate feeling of an accepting and non-judgmental environment.
As far as the process is concerned, Kathy was especially helpful in pulling all the required documentation and support for the filing together. She was definitely a resource to be counted upon.
As far as Barry is concerned, do not be fooled by his laid-back demeanor. He has been doing this for many years and knows his stuff! I could not be happier with the service provided by the team of Barry & Kathy!

Exceptional Legal Representation and Service
I recently had the opportunity to be represented by Travis T. Pregent, Esq. of Pregent Law in an employment case, and my experience was outstanding. From the onset, Travis demonstrated an exceptional level of involvement and commitment to my case. His ability to explain complex legal processes in a clear and understandable manner was incredibly reassuring.
One of the most impressive aspects of Travis's service was his flexibility and transparency throughout the case. He was always available to address my concerns and provided timely updates, ensuring that I was fully informed at every stage. His strategic foresight was remarkable; he accurately anticipated the opposing party's moves, which played a crucial role in the outcome of the case.
Moreover, Travis's honesty and straightforwardness in discussing what was possible and what wasn't helped set realistic expectations. His skillful negotiation and strategic approach led to a resolution much sooner than I had anticipated, and I was thoroughly satisfied with the outcome.
In my role as an employee involved in a legal dispute, having an attorney like Travis, who combines expertise with genuine care for his clients, made a significant difference. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for me were truly commendable.
I highly recommend Travis T. Pregent and Pregent Law to anyone seeking legal representation that is not just effective but also compassionate and client-focused.

Atty Travis Pregent is knowledgeable, efficient, and a great communicator. He always returned calls and emails quickly. We were never left wondering where the case was going. We were able to quickly settle out of court. I cannot thank him enough for taking our case. I would definitely hire him again, if the need arose.

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.
