My husband and I stumbled upon Aldo and his firm and we are so grateful we did. Besides being very knowledgeable and personable, Aldo pays great attention to detail and educates you on everything! He leaves no stones unturned and truly has his clients best interest at heart. As a Real Estate agent myself, I've worked with several attorneys and I can say confidently that Aldo is the best one I've encountered thus far- he actually really cares! I highly recommend him! (And Susan rocks too!).

My ex husband and I had an excellent experience working with Mindey and Bart. They were very professional, pleasant and responsive. Their "kitchen table" service was perfect for us. It was quick and cost efficient (the only delays were due to the court being backlogged). Mediation was a super wise choice for us and we would highly recommend their services to others!!

Ms. Weir was my lawyer at the worse time of my life. My issue was highly controversial and complicating. She was HIGHLY attentive, available, a great listener, comforting , knowlagable , truthful , very pleasant , proper and appropriate. She really care even about her client's overall wellbeing.
Ms. Weir is one of the most worthwhile individual I have ever met.
It was a privilege to know her. I will never forget her dedication and stamina.
Thank you so very much, Ms. Weir.

Ms. Weir is a knowledgable, perceptive lawyer who was right on target from the onset of my difficulty with a professional licensing board. Her initial assessment although painful to hear proved to be very accurate.She also demonstrated a good deal of patience handling my numerous , anxiety filled emails. I recommend her without any reservations.

Prior to my engaging with Tim regarding a commercial legal issue, I
hadn't been exposed much to the legal process. Tim brought not just
a great depth of knowledge to the process, but he was able to give
me a clear and simple understanding of what was happening on a level
that I could relate to. He was terrific at guiding me through each
step of the process and managing my expectations. He also did a really
great job of inspiring my confidence. Extremely professional, easy to
talk to, Tim was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him.

Tim is very knowledgeable and brings alot of common sense to the negotiations. I found him to be pragmatic and to the point on the issues. I used him to review Employee Contracts, Franchise Agreements, Franchise Transfers and Real Estate Negotiations.
I found his negotiation skills to have been better than most in obtaining the best possible scenarios for my firm. He is very approachable and is my first resource for any work in NJ.

Tim was first my attorney for a relatively minor landlord tenant case. He quickly demonstrated his professionalism, patience and knowledge of the law and became my attorney for my business. Tim's counsel proved invaluable to me and I credit him for making my business a success. His friendship and support at the time of the death of my husband proved beyond measure the capacity and committment that this man possesses. Tim has been my attorney for over 10 years.

I had a deeply troubling experience with Attorney Raj Saddah and his firm. Initially, everything seemed fine, but the situation took a turn for the worse when my assigned attorney left the firm. As I was nearing the end of my case, I chose to follow my attorney to her new firm, believing it was in my best interest.
Since then, Raj Saddah's firm has been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite having funds in escrow, they have been bombarding me with exorbitant bills and threatening me with collections and legal action. It’s baffling to me why they are trying to garnish my wages when they already hold money that should cover any outstanding fees.
I have reached out multiple times seeking clarification and resolution, but my attempts to communicate have been met with silence. It seems like my former attorney's departure has led to vindictive actions from Raj Saddah’s firm. The lack of professionalism and courtesy in handling this matter is beyond disappointing.
It feels like my situation is being used as leverage in a personal vendetta between Raj Saddah and my former attorney. This kind of behavior is not only insensitive but also highly unethical. I should not be caught in the crossfire of a dispute between a law firm and a former employee.
If you’re considering working with this firm, I strongly advise against it. Their defensive responses to similar complaints, coupled with their inability to separate personal grievances from professional service, raise serious concerns. Save yourself the hassle and look elsewhere for legal representation.

I should have seen the warning signs early on, but gave her the benefit of the doubt, which was a mistake. She was late to deliver on the agreed ask from the first time we met. She then charged me for having to explain the situation over a call because she forgot what to do. She provided little advice, I had to frame up our whole argument to the opposing party. Despite this, she did the minimum and drafted up a very simple and inarticulate response. I continued work with her as I was already committed and this was an important matter that needed to be resolved quickly. She promised to deliver within a few days. Weeks went by, and I received no word, despite following up on three separate occasions including email and phone call message. She finally responds with “I’m working on this tomorrow”. I once again received no word and had to follow up. After receiving nothing, I had to move on and get a new attorney. She offered no apology or refund. PLEASE DO NOT PUT TRUST INTO THIS WOMAN FOR ANY IMPORTANT LEGAL MATTER.

Takes your retainer, sends a few emails and then completely disappears off the face of the earth. Does not respond at all. But you will see him posting stupid stuff on Facebook, meanwhile you are left in the middle of a case with no representation.

I have used Jeffrey for a handful of business issues and questions that have hit on a number of different legal areas. Jeff does a great job of keeping things simple, talking in everyday language, and taking the most efficient and cost-effective way to tackle a problem. I have found Jeff to be fair, knowledgeable, practical, and honest. I would recommend him for any business matters regardless of its size or complexity.

I hired this attorney to represent me for litigation against a healthcare entity which violated it's due process procedures and contract. This attorney, before he was hired, confidently stated he would be able to litigate successfully but also had extensive experience with the exact health care entity and the same issue which I was dealing with. On this basis I hired him . He insisted on writing a demand letter first which I warned him would be ineffective without litigation. He then delegated the task to another attorney in his firm with zero experience with this type of work. When the demand letter was ineffective, as was expected , I asked this attorney for his next strategy and basis for litigation and he was unresponsive. He also, by his own admission, told me he very minimal experience with the health care entity I was dealing with, which was a different law firm which is now out of business.
The gross misrepresentation and outright fraud by this attorney is bothersome and just plain ridiculous. I do not recommend him at all.

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.
