I worked with Robert & Scott for almost 5 years. They were very attentive to my case & made sure I was always aware of what was going on. It was a very long & tough case trying to work with the other side. The outcome of the case ended amazing & I would work with them a million times over again. Definitely recommend to everyone.

I’ve worked with both Robert and Scott over the last two years on my case! Due to some complexities of my case and nuances, I feel that it took some extra time. However they were in touch with me the entire time, and I was not never left wondering what’s going on. In the end they gave me options of which way we can proceed and completely left it in my hands and I feel the conclusion of my case was fair and upon its conclusion, I never regretted reaching out to Grossman law first. I definitely would wholly recommend them for injury representation.

We engaged Mr. Boyer regarding difficulties we were having with a home improvement contractor. Mr. Boyer provided excellent counsel on what our options were and how best to solve them. Although completely resolving the issue will take some time, we feel considerable relief that the solutions he recommended have thus far been very effective. We highly recommend Mr. Boyer for counsel on resolving issues and disputes with home improvement contractors.

In June of 2022, I filed for divorce on a Pro Se basis simply because I could not afford an attorney. After a year of handling everything on my own I knew I couldn't go any further because my Ex-husband was manipulating, lying and coming against me to get Alimony. A friend of mine referred me to Ramsey Merhi. He was God sent literally! My divorce was tumultuous and very stressful. Ramsey stepped in and handled all documents and steps that lead to a full trial. Ramsey was very professional, kind and very supportive through the divorce process. He was very thorough in all the proceedings. A week ago today (July 30, 2024), I had my 4th and final court case for the judge to make a final decision about alimony! I've been fervently praying for the last 2 years about this case.. praying that the judge would rule in my favor that my husband NOT be granted alimony. Thanks to Ramsey's excellent representation and argument against my husband, I am now a FREE WOMAN !!! ITS OVER and ALIMONY WAS DENIED!!!.. I can't stop thanking God for answering my prayers and sending Ramsey my way! If you are looking for a good divorce attorney I highly recommend that you go with Ramsey S. Merhi! You won't be disappointed!

We had the pleasure of working with Chris as our lawyer for the purchase of our second investment property, and our experience was exceptional. Compared to our previous lawyer, Chris brought a breath of fresh air to the process with his professionalism, responsiveness, and proactive approach. From the outset, Chris impressed us with his responsiveness and availability. Whether during work hours, after hours, or even on weekends, Chris was consistently reachable, ensuring that we were always kept informed and reassured throughout the entire process. Chris's professionalism was evident in every interaction we had with him. He approached our transaction with the utmost integrity and diligence, leaving no stone unturned to protect our interests and ensure a smooth process from start to finish. During negotiations, Chris's assertiveness and commitment to securing the best possible outcome for us as buyers were remarkable. He approached negotiations aggressively, yet strategically, ensuring that we left no meat on the bone and securing a deal that exceeded our expectations. Beyond his legal expertise, Chris's positive demeanor and approachable nature made it a pleasure to work with him. The seamless collaboration between Chris and our realtor was instrumental in achieving the best possible deal for us. Their synergy ensured that all aspects of the transaction were handled with precision and efficiency. We would not hesitate to work with him again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone in need of legal representation for any real estate transactions.

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.
