Just made some changes to my estate after my previous estate attorney ghosted me. Well I found Cheyenne at Fischetti Law Group and she was great. Extremely professional, attentive, prompt, and the staff was superb in their support. Please do yourself a favor and contact Cheyenne if you need to do anything with your estate or trust.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We can’t say enough great things about the attorneys and staff that helped us with our car accident case! From start to finish, they were incredibly efficient, reliable, and always put our best interests first. It was clear that their clients are their top priority. We especially loved working with Vanessa, the paralegal — she was attentive, compassionate, and always quick to answer our questions. The entire process was smooth, and we felt well taken care of every step of the way. We highly recommend this team to anyone who has been in a car accident. They truly go above and beyond!

Anytime I had a question or situation that I needed to talk about, Barbara and Gary were always a phone call or text away. Yes, Gary always answered me when I reached out to him and even checked in with me sometimes. They made the entire process easy and easy to understand. Thank you Gary, Barbara and staff. So, if you find yourself in need of an attorney like I did, call Gary.

I engaged Mr. Pefka to represent me in an accident case wherein a red light runner claimed HE had the green light (he did NOT), and there were no witnesses. While my case didn't go entirely in my favor (having no witnesses and FL being a no-fault state), I "felt" well represented and believe we had the best outcome given the circumstances. Thank you, Dave.

I hired Jonathan for a fried a while back for a custody case that was all over the place. Not only was he able to fit all the missing pieces he was so professional answered all my questions and walked us through the whole thing step by step and it was a complete success.. And also why I hired him for myself after my divorce I was given a petition for custody for the kids we have together and sadly his dirty tactics didn't work Jonathan was so forceful and direct there was no way it was ever going to go in any other direction other then in my favor. And it did just that. The case was fully grated in my favor and support was finally being received. I owe it all to him I just couldn't do it alone.. Highly recommend if u ou want to win your case.

I cannot express how grateful I am to have had my case finalized by Ehrlich & Naparstek. I say finalized because originally my case was with a giant firm and the file just gets pushed around from desk to desk. Due to a conflict of interest they transferred my case to Ehrlich & Naperstek, it was the best thing they did for me. I was giving frequent updates, they found so many missing pieces that were significant to the case and I ended with a significantly larger settlement than the original firm was requesting. I hope no one ever finds themself in a situation that you need an injury attorney but if you do this is the one you want representing you. Bigger is not better. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Mr. Mednick was hired to challenge a will and trust. At the start he said the case was good and he was paid a large sum of money. Once he received the money he appeared disinterested in the case and despite repeating myself about what happened, he did not take it onboard. He filed against the will and trust on my behalf, but did a poor job and due to his lack of care I lost the case. I have a new lawyer who reviewed what he filed and it was found that had he not filed the challenge the way he did I stood a good chance of winning. Now, the new lawyer has been doing damage limitation that has cost a lot of money in litigation. He showed a lack of due care and professionalism.

Hired this person to sell my house which she was incapable of selling after three attempts and six months. I was notified days before the closing that the sale was not going through. She wanted to charge me 1k for her vendors even though the house never sold. She indicated that she sold the house three times however I still own the home. You can not get a word in edgewise and she is pushy and arrogant. I would not use this individual, however, after conversations with her you will see my point.

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.
