Interviewed and selected Mr. Patel to handle a real estate transaction. As difficult as new relationships can be in finding the right legal attorney, Mr. Patel was the right fit for such a complicated real estate transaction. He went beyond the call of duty in handling our transaction by negotiating back and forth with other attorneys involved. He displayed an excellent grasp of various complex real estate and business matters involved in our real estate deal. Highly recommended and I highly recommend him.

I hired Apex. Ms. Anway was my attorney for selling my home. You have to understand that not only did i hire her for the home sale but first hired her to help defend me in a foreclosure action. She went to court with my bank and was able to start talking about how I could get out of this mess. Something I could not do for years before. I has called the bank so many times I could not take it any more. I had been trying to sell my house for about 8 months, with no luck. Ms. Anway worked with my realtor, the bank and buyers to sell the house. I was able to walk aways without being in debt to the bank or getting a huge hit on my taxes. I know Ms. Anway was the main reason that I was able to make the best out of a bad situation. She is very knowledgeable about real estate sales and also foreclosures. I would use her again most definately.

I lived in a 2 Flat in Chicago that was owned by the bank. In that time I had 2 different management companies who where suppose to take care of the property. A few months into living at the apartment repairs needed to be done. I called the management company, who gave an excuse, and latter started to dodge my calls. Finally I told them I would with hold rent. At that point the management company threatened all types of action. I initially set out to find a lawyer for some simple advice. Through a friend, I was referred to Ms Anway. She knew the answer to every question I had, almost before I asked it. It was clear not only did she know what she was doing, but she obviously must of done this a lot. I hired her on the spot, in which she wrote a letter to the management company that both stated why I would not be paying rent, how much rent I could with hold and what they had to do to get me to start paying rent again. She told me to write everything down. She also told me as well as showed me the law in which they can't evict someone for enforcing there rights.
The management company decided against fixing things and tried to sell the place. This was another problem because they tried to schedule walk through's constantly, and during work hours. Ms Anway was only a call away, and unlike any lawyer I’ve ever retained, she actually picks up the phone. Within 2 hours she had called me back and had a reasonable schedule for them to show the place. When they finally sold the place, she even negotiated a settlement that I never thought I would get. She mand me Reevalueate lawyers. I was treated like a person, and was kept informed on everything as it happened. Well to be honest, she had told me what would most likely happen, so i knew it even before it happened. I would recomend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

I hired Heena regarding a dispute between my ex-husband and I regarding my pension. She was timely, concerned and addressed all the issues that I had. She even informed me of things I was unaware of in my divorce papers from years ago. She went before the judge to get the signature that I needed. I would highly recommend her !

Ms. Jeelani reviewed my employment contract for me and was able to ensure I had clear understanding of the terms of my work agreement. Furthermore, she was also able to find a potential complication in my contract that I would have overlooked had I not had it reviewed by her! Ms. Jeelani is very professional and knowledgeable, yet easy to speak to and I’m very happy with my experience. I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Heena Jeelani!

I absolutely do not recommend this law firm. I agreed on a fixed amount and then they demanded three times as much! My fault that didn’t write down the contract, but Mr. Morrisroe was recommended, so I didn’t think he could treat me in this way! Advice to everyone: write down the contract, otherwise you will be dragged to the court. Sad but true! I don’t recommend the services of this law firm.

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.
