What a fantastic experience with Amy. She facilitated the closing of a commercial property we had purchased. Even though the contract changed several times, she was able to adjust effortlessly and even close early. Brilliant.

Our experience has been very, very good with Amy! She is a true asset to this office.

She knows her job, and she does it well!

Mr. Colon is young, but is very highly experienced. He was incredibly helpful and attentive to my case, as well as very honest with the outcomes I could expect. He didn’t necessarily under promise but he did over deliver. I would recommend him to anyone, on his own or in conjunction with Mr. Lirot’s help.

Jill A. Schuh handled a case for me when I was at the worst time of my life. She took my case at a discounted fee because she understood my financial situation (which other Attorneys don't care about). She took all my calls, was very assertive and took the time to listen.
Jill negotiated back and forth with othet party until she got me what I felt was the most I could get in order to put closure so I could move on with my life. During this time she was very proffessional and very, very human, she made me feel I was talking to not only my attorney but also a friend. I recommend this attorney very highly.

After our insurance company dismissed our hurricane-caused roof damage/leak claim as "age-related deterioration/wear and tear". we were referred to Krapf Legal. The Krapf Legal team were exceptional throughout the year-long battle to ensure we were compensated for our significant losses. Our attorney, Tim Delaney, was always reachable, professional and courteous - and he negotiated the exact settlement we were looking for to cover 100% of our roof replacement.

I called Nickolas with some questions to see if I had a case concerning some real estate. He was an excellent listener, and spent 20 minutes with me on the phone, even though he'd already advised me that I could use small claims court and didn't need his services. He answered every question and then some. Very professional, very considerate.

Nick Ekonomides helped me through a very tough and protracted business litigation matter (shareholder dispute) that I was dealing with.
Nick was very level-headed throughout the extended litigation and I am very thankful that he believed in me and my case. He went way above-and-beyond and was my calming force throughout the emotional roller-coaster of ups-and-downs in my litigation.
He worked diligently and tirelessly to get me get a fair and equitable outcome and to ensure justice was served in my case and ultimately helped me get a resolution to the matter that I was happy with.
I highly recommend Nick if you have any commercial / business litigation matters as I believe he will give you a high level of service and representation like he did for me.
Thanks again Nick! 5 Stars all the way!

I was amazed at Jawdet's expertise, experience and professionalism. Bottom line is he knows the law and with his experience, how to get results. I am eternally thankful for his efforts and glad my relative referred me to him. He told me what he could do for me and performed above my expectations. I will definitely recommend Jawdet Rubai and Rubai Law. They completely resolved my issue which in some ways saved my life, relationships, my job, and my reputation.
Thank you Jawdet Rubai and everyone at Rubai Law that helped me and supported me when I needed it most.
Jawdet kept his word with me and the results proved it!!
Sincerely,
DC.

I had several conversations with attorney Baskin and found him to be very understanding and knowledgable. I found him easy to talk to and very kind when I discussed some things that occured during my childhood.

I would not recommend this attorney due to many problems I had with him. If you want a pit bull, he might be your guy. But not all legal issues require a pit bull, or pit bully. He distorted my claim to make it more inflamatory. He claimed he would "make a big statement" but that we would just settle for much less. He turned a minor legal dispute in to a major issue that ran up my legal bill. The problem is he accused my former partner of fraud and forgery, which was not my claim. I was shocked when I saw what he had accused my former client of.
His work was also sloppy. He missed my name in his letters to opposing counsel, and appeared to be confusing my case with another. It was pretty disturbing. I had instructed him to settle the case to what a viewed as a reasonable offer, then found out he had already rejected it. I eventually settled for what amounted to less just to stop my dealings with him.

This man came and made all sorts of promises to me the morning of my trial, convinced me to switch to him. Then, after receiving payment, did absolutely nothing for 9 months. Despite having provided him numerous things for my defense, he literally did no preparing at all - he only came to discuss the case the sunday afternoon before trial! I had explained to him exactly what data was needed, and how to obtain that data, to exonerate me and he did not do this! This data would prove I could hot have done what I was charged with. I had also provided case law of an identical case that would show Florida had no jurisdiction. But because he failed to even read the case law, which clearly stated the court ruled in what would have been my favor, when the state misrepresented that case to court Mr. Wagner did not object and did not argue because he DID NOT EVEN READ THE CASE! Not only this, but I had hired him for a civil matter as well, and after 9 months, as I am sitting at the defendant table at trial, he STARTS to write a motion for that matter - and it was complete garbage! I literally had to rewrite it myself and not only fix basic spelling and grammatical errors, which were prevalent, but CORRECT HIM ON MATTERS OF LAW! This guy is about worthless - if you hire him, he will take your money, ignore you, judge you as guilty so as to feel ok about his poor work ethic, and try to get you a plea - which eliminates 99% of appeals! This is a big problem because when he blows his motion arguments from lack of preparation, he tells you "oh, don't worry - you can appeal this issue!" But you can't. So no, do not hire this man, or Steve Henderson, or Dan Ciener... Diamond and Funk are the only attorneys worth a penny in Brevard County. You would be better to hire someone from Orlando or elsewhere.

Two years ago, I had a real estate issue and visited the firm seeking guidance. Attorney Martha Bolton was gracious as she met with me, listening attentively to understand my situation. Even though she explained that my matter was outside the firm's scope of practice, she provided me with resources leaving me in a far better position than when I showed up just an hour earlier.
That matter has progressed and now encompasses a larger legal scope. Today, I called the office asking to speak with Attorney Bolton. Adam answered the phone (Attorney Adam Rauman, I would later learn from the firm's website), and it was evident from the onset that he was bothered to have to be doing so.
What followed felt more like an interrogation than a conversation, with him interrupting me at least three times in less than as many minutes to 'correct' me.
Adam's attitude, tone, disposition, and overall professional demeanor were absolutely appalling during our conversation - so much so that I'm compelled to warn others, and provide him a stark reminder that he works in a service-based industry.
Having specific legal knowledge doesn't elevate him above others; it simply means he's well-versed in a particular subject, just as we all possess expertise in our own areas.
If client interactions pose such a challenge for Adam, perhaps the firm would be better served by keeping him focused on legal work behind the scenes. A skilled attorney doesn't always translate to a skilled communicator. Prioritizing his strengths while shielding clients from his shortcomings could benefit everyone involved.
In such an esteemed field as the legal profession where compassion and respect are paramount, Attorney Adam Rauman's conduct was not only unprofessional but utterly disgraceful, and stands in stark contrast to my prior positive experience with Attorney Martha Bolton.

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.
