I met with Jennifer after my disappointment with my two year experience with another attorney. At my first meeting with Jen, she knew more about my case from reviewing before our meeting than my previous attorney had obtained over the course of two years. Right away I could tell she was very organized, prepared and focused on me and what she could do for me. She is very professional and straightforward. She also is very passionate about justice and is very empathetic and compassionate. She was excellent and thorough with communicating and also listening . I never felt hurried or confused about what was happening. Within three weeks from our initial meeting, I was in her office signing a divorce agreement. She moves swiftly and confidently, reading between the lines and checking all the boxes. She got me a better offer than I initially expected and I didn’t have to worry about any loose ends. She is all around an amazing person to have on your side, whatever the reason. My experience was a ten out of ten.

Gary was a true asset to my business this year as we needed him for a business law suit to protect our business. Gary and his team fought for our rights and won on all accounts. I would recommend him to all of my business friends if the need ever arises. He was able to take stress off of me so that I could stay focused on my business, and that was priceless! Gary and his team are top notch, highly recommend!

I had the unfortunate occasion to retain Ben to help my family deal with a long-standing case of stalking and harassment. Mr. Levine gave my case proper attention and actually helped my family through a very rough experience. I would strongly recommend his services.

I just wanted to write a review in favor of Rob. He handled my divorce, in addition to some other legal matters for me. I don’t take writing references lightly, but I can tell you that I have also referred him to a handful of people that were also very pleased. I think Rob’s greatest strength is the ability to understand your current situation will also helping you plan out our future. You can’t go wrong working with Rob.

Rob provides straightforward representation presented in plain English. He will explain the the pros and cons of each situation, injecting his counsel where appropriate, but gives you enough information to make your own decision. Rob also handles all of the administrative details and paperwork required by the legal system, but spares his clients the burden. I would have no problem recommending Rob's services to any of my friends and family.

This was the worst experience I have ever had with an attorney. I spent the $3500 up front and I was told one thing before hand and the opposite happened. There was a lot of words that were said within the rights of the law where I thought I was getting the upper hand and I did not at all. I tried to reach out to her in need and received answers a week later and never a call back or any direction which I needed. This person never cared about me or my situation and I have to go back to court to hope for the third time I find someone that cares about what I am saying and does their best to help me. DO NOT USR THIS ATTORNEY IF YOU ARE A MAN TEYING TO GET RIGHTS EITH TOUR CHIOD.

This review is for Attorney Nicole Thurner only. I cannot speak to the services for the others in the office. If you are navigating the complexities of a divorce and feel lost and alone, please DO NOT call Attorney Thurner. I could not be more disappointed with my encounters with her. Five months of unanswered emails and phone calls left me with no information, resorting to Google for help with the process. After hearing from her one time between May and when I fired her in October, I learned she never actually filed the divorce with the court, but was happy to take all but $60 of my retainer. During such a stressful time in my life, it's sad to see an attorney such as Nicole provide such poor counsel. If you want to be left lost and pay another retainer to another lawyer who will actually do the work and uneducated in this process, please use Nicole. Otherwise, please take my word for it and go with anyone but Nicole Thurner. Fortunately no children/custody/property were involved, and her lack of counsel would be detrimental to someone with a more complex case. I wish I would have known how terrible she is before engaging her and I would hate to see it happen to anyone else.

I cannot say enough about Attorney Deanna Istik.Deanna worked promptly and professionally on our custody / divorce case. Deanna walked us through every detail step by step . Our grandson's care and well being was first and foremost a priority of hers.
She was always available to take our calls, texts, emails and there were many. Deanna is taking care of all our needs with such professionalism and integrity. I can't say enough about this law office. Deanna is a compassionate, genuine attorney who works hard and tirelessly for her clients. I am so pleased to be working with her as our 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:
-
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.
