I highly recommend Vida Law! I was represented by Mona, she has such a caring nature which is calming in such a stressful situation. Mona took the time to listen and made sure I understood all my options and helped me make the decisions that were in my best interest with empathy for my emotions. It is always scary to go through any court proceedings but having an attorney like Mona on your side is truly a blessing. Thank you Mona!

If I could give a 100/100 I would. Attorney Raymond Waldo was on our two cases for a combined 3 years. Our step parent adoption for our child was handled with care and respect. It seemed uncomplicated at first and then was contested. He made us feel confident and comfortable through out the entire thing. Something as stressful as family court could be was handled with honesty and compassion. I can’t speak highly enough of this attorney’s hospitality and capability. One of the most knowledgeable men I’ve ever met. Highly spoke of by all whom he works with and those who know him in the community. Respectful of your time , your money and your case. Kind. Always answers or gives a call back. This man changed my family’s life , two cases back to back. And I mean that literally we shook hands and ended one case and began the next , that week. Our second case with him was the most complicated twisted mess you could possibly think of. . Around every turn was a road block. Every single thing that could go wrong felt like it was. My case was as drawn out as humanly possible in probate and Covid didn’t help. . But with the persistence of my attorney We did it. Mr. Waldo did everything he could to get our case done and that he did. Probate was not easy but it was resolved for us by him and I don’t think any other person could have made what he made happen .. happen. It took so much time and so much effort. If he didn’t know the answer he found it. He was professional and it goes without saying. . If you’re looking for an attorney you can depend on, someone experienced , knowledgeable on every level. . If you’re doing your research .. like I did. . This attorney did not disappoint and my life was put together with the help of Raymond Waldo. I will never forget this experience and I can without a doubt say it all worked out in the end. I’m grateful for someone like this. Highly recommended and trusted ! I will always recommend him to family and friends. We are forever grateful for his services truly Thank you. .

I have used John Evanchek for my bankruptcy and my on going custody battle. He was wonderful for my bankruptcy. Always kept me informed, was without a doubt honest about every issue and was readily available when I needed him. He made the whole ordeal very simply and stress free. Given, what is going on in most peoples lives during a bankruptcy, it was very appreciated.
As to my custody case John very much impressed me the last time we were in court. My ex was attempting her usual "create a issue to distract the judge from why we are really there maneuver." John shut her down quick and got the judge back on track. We didn't win that day but we also didn't lose. I'm content with a compromise. I just wish I didn't have to have a lawyer and a court case to get that.
He is a very honest attorney. He has also been able to keep me on track with what is important in a custody battle, my child. I deal with a extremely spiteful, controlling, angry ex wife that is unable to let go of the past. That behavior will bring up constant conflicts between two parents. John has always been understanding of my frustration but also able to remind me of the direction I am heading and to stay on track because in the end winning just means having a good happy life and I have that with my daughter. Thanks John for all your help.

My attorney, Mahmoud Talab was absolutely amazing through every step of my divorce. He was very patient and kind and explained every step to me. He made sure I was well informed of all my options. My case presented many obstacles that were very unique to this divorce. He was able to navigate through them. He took extra time to research and make sure that my children would get the best outcome. There is nobody else I would’ve wanted standing by me through the most difficult time of my life.

- 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.

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.

What services do you offer?
Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution. -

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.

- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
