In 2007 I retained the legal services of Sandra Greenblatt. She is an expert in the field of Medicare/Medicaid Audits... She was a great asset to have on board before, during, and after the audit process. She is very knowledgeable, and has great resources available to her. All I can say is that I wish I would have met her when I began practicing. I highly recommend her as an attorney to handle all matters dealing with Medicare and Medicaid Audits. If she can't help you, she will refer you to the right law firm. The one thing I love most about Sandra is the fact that she listens, she cares, and she is there to help you each and every step of the way to resolve and problems. She is excellent !

I would highly recommend Ms. D'Alemberte for her sincere personal approach to cases and her attention to detail. She is a tireless advocate for her clients and has a passion for success. It is rare to find an attorney that is more interested in justice for her clients than the fees charged for her work. I have used a number of attorneys in the past 10 years for a recurring situation and Ms. D'Alemberte is the first lawyer who took the time to research and understand the small details in the law to assist me with my matter. She is extremely knowledgeable and adept with the system, the process and procedures which also is not common among your average attorney.

I hired this attorney to advice me and draft documents on the creation of a corporation. At all time he displayed knowledge of the law and the business ramifications of the transaction and looked after the interests of my partners and me. On another occasion I tried to retain him to represent my wife in a work-place harassment case. Explaining that he was not the appropriate attorney to handle this case, he referred us to another attorney. As a result, my wife received excellent representation and the defendant settled out of court.

I normally don't write these things but I had such a positive experience with Lori concerning a very complicated family trust that I owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude. My case concerned a blended family trust which, as I've learned, can be thorny and fractured affairs. I was co-trustee of the trust and I genuinely don't know if I would have made it through the experience with my sanity intact without Lori. She's incredibly smart, knows Florida law inside and out, and was creative in finding solutions when hope seemed lost. But most of all she was available when I needed her. In my regular life I have reason to deal with lawyers from time to time. If you want to feel true frustration, try dealing with an attorney who you can't get on the phone. Lori was there for me. 75% of the time she'd take my call right away. If not, she'd get back to me within a few hours. Lori's also an incredibly fun and interesting person. Probate cases require a lot of phone calls and emails. Better to go through it with someone whom you like and appreciate as a human being. Don't underestimate the importance of that. On the flip side, when hard ball needed to be played, she played hard ball. She was fierce when we got into the end game of my ordeal and in the end we came out with a very strong result. As anyone who's gone through a contested will or trust can tell you, it's a brutal experience. Thank goodness I chose Lori to represent me. I can't recommend her enough.

The law firm of John Annesser II, Esq. represented me this year in a code enforcement violation case with the City of Miami. The case was convoluted and complex, and I felt terrorized until Mr. Annesser’s firm backed me up. Mr. Annesser attended my case with particular attention. He was incredibly gracious with his billable time and offered much advice and conferences for which he generously did not charge. I am a single parent and a schoolteacher, so this enormous gesture by Mr. Annesser was very much appreciated and had a big impact on my situation. It just goes to show that there are genuinely good people in the world who care about helping others. Having Mr. Annesser’s law firm in my corner made all the difference. I am so glad and grateful for their representation. Things had been going very badly for me, but Mr. Annesser’s involvement turned things around with the City. In a miraculous turn of events, the case was expeditiously closed. This was a fortunate outcome in a case that could have dragged out for a decade. Mr. Annesser was armed with an array of strategies for my case, so I’m confident that we would have reached the desired outcome anyway. It was a great relief to work with Mr. Annesser. He is a well-seasoned, highly-experienced lawyer. During my case, he was very communicative and accessible, and his advice was worth its weight in gold. He took great care with my case and devised multiple strategies for resolution. His expertise and support were truly invaluable to me during an incredibly stressful time. I would definitely engage Annesser & Armenteros Law again for future legal matters. It is so worth it to have an exceptional lawyer in one’s corner.

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.
