I had a very contentious divorce where relocation of my child out of state was in play. I retained Toni Ross to handle my case. She devoted her heart and soul into making sure that my child would remain in Florida. I felt as if she were part of my family. Needless to say there were many nerve racking days when I needed some reassurance that everything would work out. Toni Ross would ALWAYS return my calls within moments. If she was in court, she would text and tell me when she will be available. At the end of the day, not only did Ms. Ross prevent the relocation, all the other issues ended in my favor. I cannot thank her enough for what she did for myself, my child and my family. She is not only hard working, but she is extremely ethical and fair with her billing. Sincerely, Joshua H.

Adam handled a lawsuit for my company with an attention to detail, personal service and a genuine interest in negotiating a fair and just settlement. Having hired attorneys in the past, Adam's knowledge of the laws governing our case and his ability to represent our interest was above the norm. More impressive is his personal service- even offering his cell phone # for calls after hours. I would highly recommend Adam in the future and would not hesitate to retain him again should we need legal counsel. A+ experience.

I had the pleasure of working with Adam last year. Prior to contacting Adam, I was involved in an unfortunate accident to which I had conceded liability. Upon receiving a rather shocking demand letter from the opposing party, I turned to Adam for assistance. After my first conversation with Adam, I was put at ease. Adam was patient and understanding. He explained my options, he explained what a potential outcome might look like, and he explained what the process would look like going forward. By thoroughly explaining the liability that I was facing, he relieved much of my anxiety. Beyond the first meeting, Adam regularly contacted me to give updates and to address issues as they arose. I always felt that he was giving my case proper attention. After a few stressful weeks, Adam negotiated what I consider to be a very fair settlement. I was very pleased with Adam’s work and his professionalism. I would recommend him highly to anyone.

I chose Robert Siegel as my lawyer when searching for someone who can write me a outstanding contract for my bussiness. The things that made me choose his services were because not only was he knowlegable but he treated us like family. He is not the type of guy that will just take your money. He is the type of guy that will guide you in the write direction. Rob is our lawyer for life. . Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

We have been working with Adam and his firm for almost 10 years. He goes beyond the role of lawyer and is a shrewd businessman that can identify business issues beyond those just of a legal nature. His fees are reasonable and he is extremely sensitive to ensuring his clients are not overcharged. He cuts right to the chase which saves everyone time, money and aggravation.

We worked with Ms. Brooke Estren to sell our home and at the same time to help us purchase our current home. We sold our home "For Sale By Owner" and she held our hand through the whole process. We had to deal with real estate agents that were not very helpful. If we did not have Brooke to help us through, there is no way we would have completed either deal. She was thorough, extremely responsive and great to work with. We had many questions and called her many times. She always returned our calls in a timely fashion and she took the time to answer our thousands of questions without making us feel that we were wasting her time. We are already recommending her to all of our friends and family and would gladly serve as a reference to any client looking for someone who will represent your best interests in a very kind and professional manner.

Her knowledge and understanding of the law and her passion to right a wrong is outstanding. Her clear language and ability to write and describe the facts is exceptional. She will fight hard and fair for you. I would surely recommend Jean Allison Winters.

I was involved in a car accident that left me with significant injuries and mounting medical bills. Feeling overwhelmed and unsure of my rights, I decided to seek legal representation. After conducting thorough research and reading numerous positive reviews, I chose to consult with Jeffrey, a renowned personal injury lawyer in my area plus a friend recommendation. From the moment I stepped into their office, I was impressed by the warm and professional environment. The lawyer and their team took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and provided a clear explanation of the legal process ahead. Their compassionate approach immediately put me at ease and instilled confidence in their ability to handle my case. Throughout the entire process, Jeffrey demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise in personal injury law. They meticulously analyzed the details of my case, gathering all necessary evidence to build a strong argument on my behalf. Their extensive knowledge and experience in dealing with insurance companies and negotiating settlements were evident as they fought tirelessly to ensure my rights were protected and that I received fair compensation.

My elderly parents in their 80's faced bankruptcy due to circumstances beyond their control. I lived in New York and needed to hire a Florida attorney. To say that I was satisfied with Mr. Auerbach's handling of the case would be an understatement. He was very sensitive to my parents' concerns and addressed theirs (and my) needs in a professional manner. He made a very difficult situation easier to deal with. A very likeable and easy person to work with. I would highly recommend him as a bankruptcy attorney.

The final case was a foreclosure defense and then ultimately saved my house with a finalized HAMP modification. I have never had a lawyer that was completely successful in every case he took.

Diligent, always returns calls and communicates with the client. Assertive when dealing with clueless palm beach county judges and obnoxious opposing counsel. Definitely not afraid to litigate. Scrupulous in his time management of your account. Does not run the tab and looks to save you money on legal bills where he can. I am retired out of state attorney and I know an honest hard working ethical lawyer when I see one. He handled 3 years of real estate litigation for me with no complaints from me. Retain him while still an associate before he inevitably makes partner and starts charging you partner rates. Have no financial or familial relationship with him or his firm Simon and Sigalos.

I have worked with Jonathan for over twenty years and he has been my legal counsel in a variety of business ventures I have had. (Pet Industry, Alcohol Business, Health Food Products, Graphic Arts and Advertising). In addition, I have always felt comfortable in having him handle a variety of my personal affairs as well. I trust that Jonathan always has MY best interests at heart. Jonathan works closely with all of his clients, and is a wealth of information in so many areas. Corporate, Real Estate, Acquisitions, and Finance. He has helped guide me in more ventures than I can probably even remember. He will always be quick to respond to a need, and when the problem or situation is out of his expertise, he is willing to assist and research the best alternate attorney for the job! Jonathan has been there for me through many "rough seas" and always makes sure that the legal needs of his clients are thought through, and his support will continue untill the issues are resolved. I have referred him to many of my associates, and family members, and all have come back to tell me what a great attorney he is, what a wonderful human being he is, and his level of compassion for each of his projects is refreshing and probably unheard of in his profession. (Sad, but true!) I have worked with other attorneys, of course. Jonathan is not a litigator, but he remained there for me through a case, when I needed additional counsel and just plain old "moral support". I can't imagine another lawyer taking such a humane interest in his client's needs and feelings. But, don't get me wrong... he's a tough negotiator for his team and has and will always remain an integral part of any think tank strategy meeting I may have. Jonathan has been with me through setting up over ten different companies, has been my legal counsel for all of them, and continued to help me carry out the exit strategies which helped lead to my very comfortable and early retirement! (Although I tend to keep coming back out of retirement because of some strange Entrepreneurial gene I was born with:) Jonathan has been my legal counsel as well in all of my commercial and residential real estate contracts. If you are lucky enough to find him, you will never be disappointed with his expertise and his willingness to satisfy his clients. Once you speak with him personally, you should get an immediate sense that he is the best attorney for the job!

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
