I worked with Mr. Della Mura towards the end of last year to close on my property. As I was a first-time home buyer, I was very reluctant and scared going into the process. Needless to say, Mr. Della Mura was there every step of the way to answer each and every question I had in layman language. The day before our closing, I found out that my bank had forgotten to schedule a lawyer for the closing day to represent them. Mr. Della Mura stepped in and was able to find my bank a lawyer on such short notice. He is very thorough with what he does and it shows that he truly enjoys working with a diverse clientele. He genuinely cares about his clients and leaves no stones unturned to ensure them the best service there is. I would hands down work with him again and highly recommend him to anybody looking for a real estate attorney in the Bronx area.

I most certainly recommend Peter for a closing attorney as he helped us close on our property through all the challenges presented. There was a lien on our title that we were unaware of, and Peter worked endlessly with the lien release party in getting the parameters met. At closing Peter made everything as easy as possible. Peter's rates for his services were very reasonable and fair for all his hard work through what was a very lengthy process. Thank you Peter.

Did a great job at the closing explaining all of the documents I was signing. Very friendly, personable, and professional.

We needed help with a case regarding my father and Mr. Lach was a very patient, understanding, & intelligent young man. He was able to quickly resolve our case and unlike previous lawyers we had dealt with, he stayed on top of everything. We didn't have to chase after him! He explained all of our options to us and answered all of our questions without hesitation. If we ever need legal help again we will definitely use Mr. Lach. We highly recommend him.

I found Jason through a friend who went to school with him at Brown. i was first a bit skeptical because he called him self a "concierge" lawyer which meant he came to me or did most of the work over the phone or via email. I gave him a chance and Jason worked so hard for me. He was available night and day whenever i needed. His price was reasonable and he was willing to work with me. He is very knowledgeable in not only law including trademark and copyright issues but business and management matters.. I highly recommend him. thank you

My mom was selling her Coop and needed an attorney who would be patient, knowledgeable, professional, friendly & reachable when we had questions or concerns. We were fortunate to find all those qualities with Margie Rivera, Esq. and the entire Carofano office staff. This transaction had many challenges & difficulties but Margie guided us through the entire process to closing. We were pleased with our experience and will recommend Margie and Mr. Carofano’s office to our family & friends.

After waiting for six years to settle my case, I received not one iota. My car accident was mishandled and I was lied to about my trial. My attorney misled me in many ways. He had me go trial where the defendants and witnesses ridiculed me and defamed my character. This is the greatest humiliation, profound betrayal and pain I have ever experienced in my lifetime. I will never forgive or forget this experience. It has truly impacted me emotionally and psychologically as a human being. If I could rate a zero for this firm I would wholeheartedly. It has taken me seven months to date to be able to write this review. I will not recommend them to anyone!!

I initially sat with Mr. Ramirez for a free consultation regarding the closing of my home. I noticed that he was inundated with many files and calls. I truly did not believe he could take on one more file such as mine. The number of clients he has shows me that he must be doing something correct. I was not wrong. First he didn't charge me a cent up front. and my closing went smoothly. He tackled my violations and title issues with experience.

Mr Ramirez was excellent in his initial consultation, but after that he ignored our calls and texts for 5 days. Told us we should not sign the contract but told our broker and REO we should, and then we never heard from him again. Of course, the property owners did not bother to wait for us as we tried to sort out this issue with Mr Ramirez so we missed out on a great deal and had to scramble to find a different lawyer.

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.
