Super helpful and was always responsive and determined to help resolve my case.

05 Sep, 2018 by Christie

when I got into a car accident - all I wanted was to go see a doctor to get rid of my back pain but not all doctors accept patients from a car accident. - I called Iris and she got me assigned to a doctor right away. The doctors she sent me were really good. She took genuine care of my health and checked up on me to make sure that the treatment was working. No need to follow up with her - she is always on top of the case. I'd hire her again - but hopefully I don't get into any accidents in the future :)

I have been a commercial banker for 40 years. I have interacted with many legal professionals over that time. The representation I received from Ye was at the top of the spectrum. I highly recommend her.

Jordan is an intelligent, hardworking attorney who has a wonderful grasp of the law. Jordan advised me on asset protection for a number of complex real estate partnerships I have. He gave great customer service, total transparency and seemed to enjoy making the process simple and straightforward. Not only is he good at what he does, but he has a friendly and compassionate personality that puts you at ease.

Jordan is a very competent and capable business attorney. He takes the time to make sure you understand your options. Jordan not only works hard but he is also very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Jordan for all business needs!

Jordan Kohler is a business attorney whom I would recommend, he has provided us with a range of services on website development to expertise advice/recommendations on our virtual intellectual property business in marketing and promotions. We could not have asked for a better result as we have implemented his suggestions and received great comments from other professionals regarding the business. We would definitely recommend Jordan to companies of any size and scope.

Grateful for the guidance and expertise from Dahl's team. We found them through online reviews. After careful consideration, we decided to hire Dahl's team to represent our case. Dahl's team were in constant contact with us throughout the process. They understood the importance of time line, so they pushed hard on their end to complete the necessary paperwork on time. With their assistance and professional expertise in immigration laws, we were able to get my husband his green card approval in 9 months. We didn't get to work with Dahl, but his law clerk, Estefania Parra, was God send. She was efficient and responsive. I couldn't ask for a better representative. We plan to use their services in the future for sponsoring my in-laws. 10/10 I would recommend their services.

Attorney Dahl is very knowledgeable and was very professional in his approach. His fees are the most reasonable we found in our search for a trust attorney. Wendell & Barbara, Newport Beach, CA

I wish I could give Mr. Barth more stars than five. He was very responsive from the beginning. As you can imagine, I was scared and didn't know who to turn to when I found out that I was named in a $2,000,000.00 lawsuit. Give this man a cape, because he is a true superhero attorney. Mr. Barth figured out right away that I should have never been named as a defendant in the case, but we still had to fight it. He clearly explained my options from the beginning and was thorough about what the worst outcome could be. There were 4 serious charges against me, and Mr. Barth was able to get 3 of them shortly removed and the last charge was negotiated down to a $1,000 payment for me to be removed completely from the case. I'm thinking, $1000 and I'm out, let's do it. However, Mr. Barth even got that removed and I was released from the case. I recommend Jason Barth to all in need of a smart and tough negotiating attorney. Bill Abalos - Inspection Pro

13 Aug, 2015 by Ted

Brandon supplies expert legal advice to me and our non-profit corporation. Brandon always treats everyone like they are his most important client.

12 Aug, 2015 by Dani

I was in need of some legal advice on a couple of occasions, and reached out to Mr. Leopoldis via Avvo. My legal issues were related to the growth of my business, and my liabilities as an employer. He provided both solid advice, as well as actionable suggestions to help with both issues. His fees are very reasonable in comparison to other attorneys. Mr. Leopoldis has a very calm demeanor, and the use of "Mr" in my review, may be implying a stuffiness that does not exist. Brandon is very easy to speak to regarding legal matters, and very easily accessable by e-mail. He does not hide behind secretaries and ensures his clients needs are met. Mr. Leopoldis/Brandon may not be the best match for your legal needs, like a Dermatologist might not be the best match for your health needs, but he should be your FIRST call, and your Go-To Attorney, as he will tell you up front whether your issue matches his specialty -- and with his many legal connections, he will point you in the right direction and make sure you are in good hands, if the hands you need to be in are not his own.

Found a law firm a year ago for my car accident .. I was happy to be in touch with Atty . Freyja... She is so wonderful excellent and very knowledgeable and explains the process thoroughly and just very informative . And my expectations during this process . I was in severe pain due to this accident and she was so understanding . Very personable friendly and a joy to talk to . She was also very patient and her and her office constantly communicates and checks on how I’m doing . I just love her. Besides being an excellent attorney who does a very good job she’s also like a friend that you’re know for a long time. I would highly highly recommend her should you ever need an attorney..... I know how stressful being on a car accident but she will put you at ease the minute you talk to her . I thank her for working on my case and helping me go through the ordeal .

Mr. Pomerantz was an incredibly patient and persistent attorney for me and my case. He always took the time to listen to my concerns, and never pressured me to make a decision I was not comfortable with. When I chose to go to trial for my case, he stood by my side and did his job to the best of his ability. He researched in depth the city ordinances that would support my case and disqualify my plaintiff's case. Mr. Pomerantz maintained professional and courteous to myself and family throughout the whole case process. Mr. Pomerantz and his legal time worked tirelessly for my case, and together, we received the best outcome possible for the case. I would recommend Mr. Pomerantz to anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable attorney.

26 Jul, 2019 by Dorothy

After consulting and working with several other lawyers with other firms, I didn’t feel that anyone was really listening to my case. I requested that Andrew Pomerantz take my case and without hesitancy, he accepted to help me out. Having difficult tenants and not knowledgeable in property management made me feel helpless and lost. Andrew and his team helped me focus. We (landlords) wanted our house back so that we can live in it. To have a house to live in was the bottom line. Andrew’s office processed all of my documents and served my tenants. They walked me through the entire process and gave me updates as soon as they had them. I had a lot of questions and the turn around of emails was about 5 minutes. During business hours, there was always someone to answer my phone calls. Andrew’s team answered all my questions and put me at ease each and every time. I was nervous to appear in court and had to appear on several days, but Andrew was always there to communicate for me. Andrew always kept his professionalism and remained calm and patient with me as well as the tenant and their attorney throughout negotiations. He gave us new perspective. Thank you Andrew for all the support and guidance you provided for me and my family. You have a genuine soul. We are forever grateful for your help. We wish you fulfillment and continued success in everything.

26 Jul, 2019 by Steven

Andrew Pomerantz and team were amazing from the beginning to the end. We had a tough mold case against our landlord. We lived on the west coast and the landlord lived in the east coast and moved while we were trying to serve him. It took a long time to track him down but Andrew was able to. Because our landlord wasn’t a nice person he fought and stretched the case out over 4 years. At one point the landlord claimed the problems with the house weren’t his responsibility because he didn’t live in the state! Though Andrew never wavered and continued on the plan he had set out on from the get go. Every call my wife and I had with Andrew was very pleasant. Andrew always started off making sure the kids, and my wife and I were healthy and in good shape. He answered every question, explained everything in detail, and was never in a rush to get off of the phone with us. In the end Andrew was able to get the landlord to settle with us instead of a long and expensive court trial, that we did not want to do. I highly recommend Mr. Pomerantz and will do so to anyone that is in need of an attorney… and this is coming from someone whose dad was a Judge, cousin was the district attorney for Sacramento, and uncle the captain of the Oakland police.

Attorney Atoosa Vakili is a true Angel sent by God. She did outstanding legal work in our immigration case and our daughter. If I had to recommend a lawyer to anyone, it would be Mrs. Vakili without any hesitation. My journey to becoming a permanent resident has been a very stressful one, but after my wife and I hired Mrs. Vakili, she laid everything out for us and helped us every step of the way. We started from nothing, and Mrs. Vakili worked very hard with us, even though we had less than a month to prepare. She was available any time we needed her (even on holidays) and always made sure we were on top of what we needed to do. She treated us like family, guided us through this case, and gave us a lot of life advice because we are just a very young couple who needed a lot of help. Mrs. Vakili was there for us in more ways than we can even imagine, and we are so thankful that we met her and could work with her. We both agree that this was the best decision we have made by far. She is passionate about her cases, just as she was with ours, and was determined to come out of it successfully. She gave us the hope and confidence we needed when we thought we couldn't do it anymore. We recommend her to anyone that needs immigration service, and we are delighted that Mrs. Vakili represented our daughter and us.

I have known Zack for four years, and in this time he has helped me many times with many different issues. He is attentive each and every time he helps me. He is extremely responsive, caring, knowledgeable, and helpful. He worked tirelessly on my case, and in most cases he answered my concerns right away. He is also the kindest attorney I have ever known, and he is always available for me to reach out to. He has never disappointed me, not even once. He pretty much saved me from a whole lot of trouble, and I sincerely feel very much indebted to him. All in all, if you are looking for an attorney who truly cares about his clients and gets the job done, he is your man. Thanks again Zack!

15 Apr, 2017 by Anonymous

Zack fought hard for my case, he was knowledgeable, assertive to the other party, and very easy to work with. Trustworthy and experienced. Anytime I had any questions, he was always an email or phone call away. He was always great at replying back to all my questions and concerns. I recommend this lawyer to fight for you. I had several lawyers tell me that I didn't have a case because I was employed for only two weeks or didn't have enough evidence to support my case. This lawyer along with his partner, Johnathan, were very confident and knowledgeable in their field of law. During my initial meeting with them, they told me I had a case and that they would help me. They won my case for me for great results! It's the best feeling to have a lawyer who will do anything and everything to help you defeat and win your case.

20 Feb, 2015 by Rachel

I called Mr. Broslavsky after finding his information on line. Being skeptical while reading other reviewers' comments, I still wanted to give it a try. Well, here I am to confirm you can believe those reviewers! This attorney is patient, polite, straight forward, sincerely willing to help. My case is kind of complicated, and I don't know if Mr. Broslavsky would be working with me yet. In any case, he is one of the very few I am considering.

Jacqueline was my appointed public defender/attorney by the Superior court of Rancho Cucamonga. I had was charged with violating probation and failure to complete classes , fine , and my outstanding jail time on a previous DUI violation. She actually took the time to go over the details of my case in person and also showed extreme empathy for what I was going through personally .. Jacqueline was able to convey all my positive attributes and actions taken to satisfy my requirements with the court. The Judge reviewed and verified the actions that I took to remedy my outstanding requirements to the court, and ruled my case as fulfilled and completed. I saved approxx 2 k in fines, approx 30 days of weekends jail time, and 2 years probation! I thank you Jacqueline for all your hard work and efforts ! May peace, health, and prosperity always be in abundance to you and your loved ones!

At the capacity of Public Defender, they are commonly referred to as Public Pretenders. With that said, I was apprehensive and did not expect anything except the normal going through the motions for the paycheck. Miss Burgos went above the call of duty and was ready to fight for me all the way to trial. She stuck with my innocence until proven guilty. I was not found guilty nor railroaded with a sham deal. I walked out of the case without a bruise. I would hire her on a heartbeat. She practices law as an experienced top notch lawyer. Extraordinary.

I am a psychotherapist, and was assigned Calkins by my insurance company to help with a case where a client's parent was harassingly subpoenaing me for irrelevant cases, for years. Calkins was friendly and professional on the phone, came to court with me, eased my and my client's day with her warm friendliness, and then walked into the courtroom and fixed the situation with the judge in about two minutes. She even charmed the plaintiff. My experience could not have been more pleasant or efficient. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Dawn is an amazing lawyer. She's organized, ethical, sharp as as knife , and knows the laws backward and forward from both sides of personal injury lawsuits. She was, from the first day when I contacted her, a downright pleasure to work with. She always got back to me via email, usually within 15 minutes (seriously!). She kept me updated on everything that was happening with a lengthy lawsuit. She made sure I understood everything that was going on, everything I was signing, and how the whole process worked. She held my hand through two years of legal processes around a tediously medical issue resulting from a car crash. I had a sticky case: I'd been rear-ended and gotten some sort of soft tissue damage that put me out of commission for the better part of a year and a half. All sorts of diagnostics failed to show exactly what was wrong, and treatments failed to make it better in any hurry. There was just a lot of pain whenever I used my right arm. (In retrospect, probably a rotator cuff injury that we didn't catch until a year after the accident, when it was mostly healed). I was sick at the thought of talking to the insurance company; there's no way to prove that you're in pain. Dawn took my case despite the uncertainty around it, and she got me an absolutely fair settlement despite all the medical muddling. In addition to being terrifyingly competent, Dawn was unfailingly kind. When we had to do a deposition, and I was scared of being interrogated, she made sure I knew exactly how it worked, knew what I had to do, and then spent a good 15 minutes afterward debriefing and checking in on how I was. Then she sent a follow up email telling me that I'd done a great job. She kept me in mind as a person as well as a client. She was so professional, so sure of every step, and so obviously on top of everything that I was able to let her handle the case and go about my life without worrying about it too much. I am grateful for her services, and I'd recommend her highly for any legal help you might need.

I want to thank you for bringing my lawsuit to such a satisfying and speedy resolution. I know that you had to argue convincingly to obtain agreements with Kaiser and Medicare. I was really surprised that you were able to obtain restitution for the golf cart as well. What I really appreciated was you clear and constant communication. I always knew the path ahead and my options. All were clearly explained. Should I ever need legal help again I know whom to call.

I contacted Michael hoping to get a question answered in regards to a contract that I was confused on. I did not expect anyone to answer considering it was after hours and fully planned to leave a message with a return phone number. To my surprise Michael himself answered the phone (while at a sports event) and advised me to email my contract to him and he would review it. I did send it to him pretty late that night and by 7:30 am the next day, he had an answer for me! I found this to be refreshing and completely awesome! I will forever use his services when/if I or a member of my family needs representation. Thank You Michael!!!

Mr. Coates have proven to be most valuable to our companies, his honesty, integrity, and professionalism set him apart and inspire a working trust relationship. We have worked with Mr. Coates several times over the past eight years. On occasions when we have a legal question or matter that is outside of his level of knowledge or expertise, he is quick to refer us to another attorney who can help us. When he is tasked with a project for us, he gets his assignments completed on-time and reasonably priced. Rare qualities in an attorney. We will continues to forward projects to Mr. Coates as the need arise, and in business it always does.

After 2 years of fighting a trade secret infringement case we had a major victory against our competitor as we fenced off their claims. Li was very professional and prompt, knowledgeable and handle my case with uppermost concern. He is very responsive, he walk me through the legal process and pick up my calls all the time and return my calls right away, even during the weekend. I done business with other downtown LA firms in the past, and Mr. Li’s charge is very reasonable. He understand our needs for budgeting so whenever he discuss the legal options with us, he will do a cost-effective analysis and make sure we made the move that is legally right and within our budget. Honestly, I couldn’t ask for a better lawyer and I would strongly recommend him to my peers.

Mr. Li first handled a contract matter for my business and afterward became the general counsel for my company. As my company expands oversea, from time to time, I had couple questions that had to do with cross-boarder legal issues and I wanted to know if I was crossing any line with what I wanted to do and Mr. Li always gave me very solid advice. I worked with two other attorneys in the past and Mr. Li is very reasonable with his billing. I highly suggest you give Mr. Li a call if you have any question. If anything, I know Mr. Li got my back.

Roxana is the most honest and trustworthy lawyer I have ever met. She has saved me so much time and money outside of court. She is very educated in every legal matter I have had. Roxana is far from your typical lawyer looking to keep your matter lingering in the court system. She completes everything in a timely manner and sets proper expectations on the possible outcomes and time frames. I highly recommend her and have already referred my family and friends to her.

27 Jun, 2017 by Byromzuniga

I can't speak enough to the professionalism, immense knowledge, and dedication that Roxana applies to her trade as an attorney. I had contacted over 30 law firms, big and small, to assist me with a complex immigration case caught in the intersection of immigration and criminal law. Unlike all other firms, Roxana was incredibly responsive, listened carefully to my situation, and was able to share great insight. I contracted Roxana to handle my immigration case. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. Literally. Because of her assistance, I can now fulfill the American Dream..... As a result of Roxana's hard work and expertise, USCIS approved my application and I was given the best possible outcome. I truly believe this would not have been the case with any other firm. If you want someone who will fight to get you the best possible outcome in her areas of expertise, call Roxana.

I recently needed to find a lawyer to help me with establishing parentage after my son's father passed away. My son's father passed away before I was able to establish that he was father, therefore; my son was being denied survivor benefits by social security. My case was so unique and complicated that I was repeatedly turned away by multiple lawyers. I then posted my case. After a few days, Ms. Amini contacted me and after hearing my case agreed to help me free of charge. One can truly see how caring and compassionate Ms. Amini is in helping others. I have no words to explain how thankful and appreciative I am to Ms. Amini. Ms. Amini helped me and supported me during one of the most difficult moments in my life. Ms. Amini set time aside from her busy schedule to help me with my case, kept attention to detail, and maintained good communication. She kept me in the loop, and kept me updated throughout my case. Thanks to her I was able to successfully establish parentage very quickly. I would gladly recommend Ms. Amini to anyone without hesitation. Ms. Amini is an awesome lawyer! Thank you Ms. Amini for all your help and support during such a tough time!

I have used Greg over the past 10 years and have loved working with him. Greg has helped me move my insurance practice to different large financial industry organizations. Greg is smart and not only does he point out the pit falls of any deal, he also uses creative ideas to get more compensation for his clients. Greg recently helped me obtain an extra six figures on a new employment agreement. This is after the employer said no to my initial ask. Greg used an innovative strategy to get me more money!! THANK YOU GREGORY!!!

Gregory is simply a “trusted adviser.” Most special about Gregory is his cool demeanor, his ability to see the world from all angles, to offer advice that is personal, professional, well thought out, and logical. He comes at problems focused on your success. Gregory consulted on many issues, trademark registration, intellectual property, general business, HR, corporate strategy, legal services tied to fundraising, taxes, etc. Gregory is a masterful dealmaker, unusually candid, and very smart. I sat on the business development side of our business, and Gregory was always helpful in structuring deals and laying out a strategy, and the appropriate contracts. In the beginning, Gregory was in place when our company launched; he is a fantastic startup lawyer who helped put legal documentation in place and file with the appropriate authorities. His gift is his vision and good solid council. His perspective, logic, and counsel helped us reach the right conclusions many times. When you need serious council, Gregory has the ability to see beyond the horizon and to guide you where you need to be. He never let me down. A few thoughts to describe Gregory: • Responsive and analytical • Thoroughly discusses options and concerns • Professional in contract correspondence • Has a good business sense and good common sense • He always behaves professionally • He has the unique ability to cool-down explosive situations • Goes above and beyond what could be reasonably expected from a lawyer • I am honored to have the opportunity to describe what a good person he is, and a good lawyer

My long term disability benefits were cut off when my neurosurgeon signed a statement prepared by the insurance company stating that I was able to return to work. Barbara Casino and Jack Stennett sent me to an occupational therapist and then used her functional capacity evaluation to convince the neurosurgeon and the judge that I was not able to return to work. Blowing through the smoke and mirrors of the insurance company’s attorneys and sham “medical experts,” Barbara and Jack won complete restitution of my disability benefits.

There is so much I have to say about this lawyer. I will try and keep it short and say, if you are in a situation like I was, dealing with a LTD Disability case and are looking for someone who will work hard, care, fight and never leave you hanging, not knowing what is going on at anytime in your case. Then look no further, stop right here and call this Attorney! Jack (John) Stennett. He won my case, which was not easy against M of O. He fought hard for me and won! There is one thing that meant the most to me about this man. Well a few things but I have to say, when ever I called upset, nervous, or anything. If he was there he took my call. If he wasn't there, he would always call me back right away. This is a quality you do not find with many lawyers. Simply said " The best there is"!

This gentlemen went in more detail. I felt he had a better understanding of this type of issue. I think if I need someone to represent me this would the guy.

I have a music management/marketing firm in West Hollywood and Bret has been an invaluable associate to me. He has been advising, drawing up documents and overseeing all legal matters for us for years. He is brilliant at entertainment law and his roster of rockstar clients prove it.

I have consulted and hired him to negotiate contract for our Actors Equity Union Contract for my daughter, who is Child Actor on Broadway. He was thorough, empathetic with the issues I had with my daughter’ employer and very pleasant to work with. He really stood on our side and fought for us to renegotiate our extension of term. He is an excellent lawyer, who is also nice and kind person to work with.

18 Sep, 2015 by Keith

This is truly a great attorney. Bret will fight like hell to win, and rarely misses anything. I am deeply indebted to him for the time and money he has saved me. He had real fangs and can use them if necessary. I have a world of respect for him, his opinion and competence.

I found Jeff thru the OC lawyer websites. I’m very happy I did. He was worked diligently to resolved, defend and ultimately achieve the result I wanted and more importantly needed. He did NOT let anything slide or get by him and in a lot of cases educated and enhanced the large LA legal team that was in joint defense for the corporation I worked for. He has my top most recommendation.

18 Aug, 2009 by Kim

Mr. Lurner represented my case with aggresiveness and passion. He is very trustworthy and a strong advocate for those he represents. I have recommended Mr. Lurner to a few of my friends/associates. I wouldn't hesitate to utilize his services, should I ever need to, again.

12 Aug, 2009 by Anonymous

I had an extremely complicated case which encompassed every aspect of my business and Mr. Lurner handled each of the individual components in an amazing manner. I have had numerous situations that required legal counsel and have found Mr. Lurner to be the most competent , compassionate, and easy to work with. His strategy is brilliant (as is he) and is unequaled in his expertise. I feel that any case you would bring him , he would win for you. I can highly recommend his services without reservation.

Mr Winter, by far, was the best lawyer I have ever dealt with. Up until about 7 years ago, I had never worked with a lawyer. Then, I had a chance to work with several on many different cases. Mr. Winter stood out from all of our lawyers. As soon as he was briefed on our situation, he knew exactly what course of action to take and laid out what steps we needed to do to move forward. He informed us on what he thought would occur through the course of our resolutions and everything that he had directed, worked out perfectly. He was very good in terms of communication back and forth and I never felt like I was waiting to hear back. He was very responsive to our communication and worked with us to resolve our situation in a timely matter. I have never had a bad experience with Mr. Winter and would recommend him to anyone that requires a lawyer.

I have referred cases to Sidney "Kit" Winter and worked with him on a number of matters. He is highly skilled, knowledgeable and uncommonly intelligent. He was able to resolve several disputes quickly and with minimum expense to the clients. He understands and is able to handle complicated intellectual property issues particularly in internet transactions in which technology is continually evolving Kit is also an expert on IP issues arising in the fashion industry--and knows more about the industry than any lawyer I have worked with.

08 Jan, 2013 by Jason

Kit Winter is a brilliant lawyer ! He is Judicious, insightful, deeply honest and extremely hard-working. His personal judgement and his life experience coupled with his sweeping knowledge of the law make him one of those very rare individuals whom I would call "wise".

I worked with Amy on a complex and difficult legal situation. She was so generous with her time and astute brain - suggesting many different ways of moving forward successfully. I would recommend her skills and knowledge to anyone. The biggest plus is that she's delightful to work with!

16 Nov, 2020 by Donald

I have to say, it was a very dark time for me. I had looked at a ton of different tax attorney firms on the websites. but a friend highly recommended Amy with Sulahian Law, I was still skeptical at first and wanted to make sure I was making the right decision. Plus I was hoping for someone in my area, I chose Sulahian Law because it was almost in walking distance from my Pasadena office. I felt like I could verify them if I needed and even offered to meet them. When I called, I was surprised to get the principal lawyer right away. She was extremely friendly and explained my options. No pressure - which almost made me suspicious! So, over the course of a few days, I asked many questions and she was always prompt at getting back to me. So, communication was always really good. Always. The communication and explanations of things, and describing what to expect (having real expectations) were always valuable My attorney, during this process was available to me. She provided clear, concise direction which required action on my behalf as well. In other words, if you want your case to move quickly, provide exactly what the firm asks from you expeditiously. It really helped move our case along quickly. Even though it took time in my case, like most tax cases does ,we eventually cut my overall liability in half and established an installment plan that quite literally saved my hide. I'm personally grateful for finding Amy with Sulahian Law for helping me through tough financial time in my life. I highly recommend Sulahian Law to my family or friends. If she was able to help me I there is a great chance she can help your situation too.

If I could give negative stars, I would. While it may sound cliché, it is absolutely true in this case. If you are considering hiring Ilona, please take a step I regret not taking: ask around about her reputation at various firms. Doing so could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars. Ilona took 5-6 months to draft a Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) based on mediation outcomes, a task that should have taken just a few days. This delay resulted in costs of $50,000 to $60,000 for a poorly executed MSA. This amount does not even cover the majority of her work, which was far from satisfactory. It’s important to know that there are remedies if you find yourself in a situation with an attorney who appears to intentionally botch work for future financial gain. This experience ranks among the top five worst mistakes I've made in 44 years. I cannot stress enough the importance of asking around before hiring. Additionally, when I requested her to correct her mistakes, she demanded more money to do so. What other service demands additional payment to fix their own intentional errors? It’s incomprehensible. Also she uses tactics to fool people with multiple google review pages to spam Out the bad reviews with 5 star reviews with someone with 1-2 reviews and one happens to be for her. Such deceptive behavior

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.

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.
