I hired the services of Ms. Kiva James at a time when my finances were failing me.
Right away, she met with me and she explained the step for my procedure. She was very clear and very fair with cost and time. Ms. James called me regularly to remind me of the next step for each court proceeding and she was always on time and never absent or late. I received so much support from her, and I felt she was on my side all throughout my ordeal. She was a blessing for me and I recommend her services highly.

My experience with Reuben Fuller-Bennett and James Fishman has been extremely positive. They are pros to the nth degree. Although James successfully resolved a personal landlord-tenant matter for me and my wife a number of years ago, my recent commercial landlord-tenant case added Reuben to the team. Reuben’s attention to detail and recall over a period of more than nine months was astonishing. He arranged the salient facts, dates, correspondence, affidavits, etc. in a clear, precise manner. Organized and immediately accessible. Reuben constantly kept in touch regarding dates of motions, deadlines, appearances etc.
My specific case revolved around a determination as to whether I had a lease or not based upon email communication with my landlord. Reuben’s research and analysis were the basis of the success of my claim resulting in a substantial reward in my favor. Without hesitation, I whole-heartedly recommend Reuben Fuller-Bennett.

i needed help with a residential lease. I was concerned that I might lose my apartment. I wasn't sure how I would fight corporate greed. I contacted a number of lawyers. I wasted a lot of time with lawyers playing a bait and switch game. They said we could settle for one amount and then said it would have to go to court , for an unknown cost.
Rueben helped me. He projected cost honestly. He didn't switch up to exact more money from the situation. Time is still money. He was efficient with his hours and helped me provide the information that was needed. He was able to back the corporation off and they rescinded there initial threat. This was all done without having to go to court. I would highly recommend Reuben to anyone needing help with residential legal matter.

I first met Reuben Fuller-Bennett when I went in to meet James Fishman after I received a notice that the lease for my rent stabilized apartment would not be renewed. Reuben was one of James’s associates who would be assisting on this matter. I knew I was in great hands with James, and I quickly realized I was in great hands with Reuben as well.
We had discussed what documentation I should provide to help my case, and immediately after our meeting Reuben sent me an email outlining each and every item we discussed, and of he offered ideas and suggestions as to how to obtain certain other documents. He stressed each and every item’s importance for my case. I could tell he was truly on my side professionally as well as personally.
I sent Reuben the documentation as I had it, and he provided me with updates as to what he had/what we were still waiting for. He was very organized and on top of everything.
Reuben responded to every question I had along the way, and he did so very quickly. He was very knowledgeable on cases like mine. He was very positive about my case, and when I was getting nervous he assured me that our case was strong and not to worry. He kept James copied on every e-mail exchange, and deferred to James to answer a question when he was not 100% sure on an answer.
Both James and Reuben kept me informed as to the progress of what was happening. James is the one who let me know that the landlord would be renewing my lease, and I could not have been more grateful and thankful for the work done by him and of course Reuben.
I am confident that anyone who works with Reuben will have the same positive experience as I had. I hope to never be in the situation I was in again, but if I am – I know I will be in great hands with Reuben. I highly recommend him.

Knowing nothing about the New York real estate law process I relied on a referral from my NY realtor. I am so glad I did. Ms Okarma handled our condo purchase with promptness, professionalism, and complete transparency. I have dealt with a number of lawyers in past real estate deals, some who seem to need to create problems they then “solve”. Not do with Ms. Okarma. She cuts right through the usual b. s. and aleays has your back.

Basil is a great down to Earth professional which is highly uncommon in this world we live in today. He has a stress free personality to him and puts you at ease throughout his services by explaining to you "law for idiots". He makes it easy to understand. Because he is so committed to his work, he doesn't need to hound you for specifics every day as he knows your busy on your end. Just when you wonder what he's doing, he calls you with good news and sometimes direct news that he wont sugarcoat. When time is a factor, Basil works best and "pulls off the impossible". He earns his paycheck and closes as great as the best closers here in NY. I highly recommend Basil and appreciate his hard work. He is law enforcement friendly and is understanding of tight schedules. I will be using Basil for my future legal endeavors. Thank You Basil !

Shana has been extremely helpful with many projects of mine. I work in film in NYC and found Shana about one year ago, she has helped me both reviewing operating agreement, subscription agreement and consultant agreement of Film Investment deals and helped me draft a producer's contract. When we work on these deals, Shana always operates with the highest level of integrity, skill, and compassion. She is quick to return my emails and phone calls, and she is just a genuinely friendly person to work with and have my very best interests in mind. If you're looking for an entertainment attorney, I wholeheartedly couldn't give a higher recommendation.

For over twenty years I have depended on Dan Ross for my personal and professional legal services. He has helped me structure a real estate cotenancy arrangement, draft leases, write consulting agreements, review non competition and employment contracts, prepare workout agreements and promissory notes and pretty much deal with whatever legal issues came up.

Ever since he began helping me, results followed.

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.
