Working with the law office of Cecelia Soboleski has been one of the best decisions I have ever made since my divorce process started. I say this because despite the distance and time difference, I currently live here in the Philippines, we were able to communicate well. She manage to discuss the plans and educate me about the case thru zoom meetings and email. She gives you insight but she let’s you decide on everything. Zoom meetings were arrange so that it would both fit into our schedule. She would definitely reply to questions and clarification thru email. Overall, Cecelia is efficient and truly an expert in her field of practice. Thank you cecelia

Even though, my husband and I have reconciled through a devastating separation, headed for divorce, Cecelia leveled the playing field and made sure I was left in a better place. Things would not have turned out this great without her effort, expertise, and her fierceness to make all of the right moves. Thank you, Cecelia, for your patience and understanding with me. You are a Super Attorney. I will always be grateful.

I was part of a group that lent money to a borrower who decided to stop paying. Patric gave us excellent advice on how to proceed and was very conscious of how to limit our legal fees and get the most work done at moderate cost. Other lawyers we spoke to before choosing Patric seemed to be less responsive and to propose approaches that would have incurred significantly higher legal fees. He was pleasant to work with and knowledgible. He was always prompt in returning my calls and emails. On a few occasions I had to remind him about next steps he had committed to, but that had slipped due to his high workload.

It was nerve-wracking for me to go through the divorce process. I was having difficulty accepting and understanding why this happened but found calm with the help of Chelsea. Her thoughtfulness and sensitivity to my needs made me feel at ease and cope with what's in front of me, my daughter's emotional well being and what financial support was required for her and her mother. I followed and finished the recommended courses which expanded my understanding of my new life as a responsible father in a single parent household. Thank you for all you have done for me.

I have followed Chelsea on Instagram for over a year and love her relationship/prenup advice and education. I first purchased her Marry Me Smart course and then decided to use Chelsea to represent me as my partner and I drafted up our premarital agreement. At first I was anxious about the process but Chelsea is so knowledgeable and made the process easy, understandable and a positive experience. Thank you Chelsea for setting our relationship up for success!

Emily and Alex represented me during the development of my premarital agreement. I was under a time crunch and they both did quick and extremely thorough work. Emily and Alex were both very kind and I enjoyed working with them. I appreciated that they took the time to carefully explain various legal details. I hope I never need a family lawyer in the future, but if I did, I would absolutely work with them again!

I had a problem with my tenant’s early lease termination and Brian was a great help. His fee is very reasonable and he helped me with key issues of my case that I would have missed without his input. I highly recommend Brian for any landlord/tenant dispute case.

This is my second eviction of the year! My tenant is a contractor did the maintenance work for me after the 1st eviction, he did a great job and gain my trust. He want to rent my house urgently, I gave him the key to the house and let him rent the house. Unfortunately, after my tenant moved into the house without a signed contract, he and his wife didn’t answer my call/text/email anymore, didn’t make up the promised security deposit, and didn’t pay the rent. I was very satisfy with Brian’s service of the first eviction, so I contacted him again. Brian gave me a lesson after listened to me “Never give house key without a signed contract”. Brian accepted my case and my tenant moved out of the house in about 45 days. Brian is the best eviction attorney!

Barry and his team at Anchor Law Group is AWESOME!!! They are the most effective litigators and legal strategists I have ever met. As a small business owner, Financial Planner and Real Estate Consultant, I frequently have the need to seek legal guidance and cousnel on behalf of my clients. Barry has time and time again proven himself to be both versatile and knowledgeable in all areas of business and family law. Barry has helped advise me with a number of issues for both myself personally as well as my clients. He has proven himself in the areas of Bankruptcy, Criminal, and Business Legal matters. My clients and I both appreciate his dedication, superb legal knowledge, experience and excellent customer service!!!! My experience with other attorneys is that they care less about the client and more about the billable hours. Every other attorney I have worked with was more concerned about their golf tee time than the case in front of them. Barry IS the exception to this. Barry's ability to listen intently and focus on the issues at hand, while providing sound legal advice and support is unsurpassed. Having worked and consulted with doznes of attorneys over the past 15 years for various legal issues for my clients and self personally, and having worked with Barry now for the past 5 of those years, he has proven himself to be the single best legal professionalIf I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. I had 3 thumbs he would get 3 thumbs up!!!!!

Mr. Sabahat represented us (me and another shareholder) in a Civil/Corporate Complex financial litigation which was simultaneously litigated in two states, Texas and California, as well as a corporate receivership in Texas. In all there were 9 attorneys and 3 legal experts were involved in the 2 state litigations. Mr. Sabahat represented me and the president of Corporation in the Superior Court of California and in the Court of Appeal of California. Mr. Sabahat’s extensive knowledge of law and his experience became very invaluable in a 3 weeks trial of the case and the appeal by the defendants. We would have not succeeded without his extended effort and focused attention and intimate knowledge of the documents, multiple depositions of parties involved, which exceeded more than 30 volumes in all. His consistency became a great asset in all court hearings and trials.

Horrible mismanagement of my family’s Trust for years. One that she wrote herself, amended multiple times, and even went to my grandfather on his deathbed to have him sign an amendment when he was not in a clear state of mind. When asked for an accounting, she stalled for 9 months and then all of a sudden, no longer represents the Trust or Trustee. This woman should have her bar revoked. She will steal your family’s money and do zero work that benefits anybody but herself.

Kathy Campbell is passionate about families. She stood by my side through a very long and contentious divorce; constantly trying to elevate the ordeal to civil. I felt stunned and wounded at every turn. Kathy was my shield, the best defender. She prepared me as best as she could for court proceedings and helped me understand the law. Kathy consistently and naturally conducts herself with respect and a high moral code. She always treated me as a priority and showed concern about my wellbeing and the wellbeing of my children. I have the utmost respect for Kathy and would recommend her for anyone that needs a compassionate, solid, thorough, and professional attorney.

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.
