Recently, I found myself in a perilous legal situation that would have hampered my freedom and my ability to live my life in peace. To my great fortune, a friend suggested that I contact the Stracci Law Group. I reached out to them and was put in touch with attorney Josh Malher. I had never had any brushes with the law, so I was very apprehensive about the situation I was in. I had no idea of what was going to happen and how it would affect my future. Josh immediately set my mind at ease about charges I was facing, how I would be represented, and what the process would entail. He patiently and effectively answered each and every question I had and made me feel comfortable with continuing to ask any others. The outcome of my situation turned out to be better than I expected, relieving me of the enormous stress I was under. Should I ever have legal issues in the future, I will be calling Josh Malher for counsel without hesitation. I have full and complete confidence in his abilities as an attorney. But just as important, his manner of communicating with me was calming, and it demonstrated a level of empathy and caring about what I was going through that I doubt I'd find in most other attorneys. In conclusion, I found Josh Malher to be a very likeable person, and his legal acumen in handling my case was outstanding to say the least. My life is getting back to normal now, and I have Josh to thank for that!

Joshua is just simply outstanding. Nervous, scared and unfamiliar with the whole justice system he calmed fears and anxiety, treated us like we were long time friends and his professionalism and law knowledge is second to none. You can just tell he is respected in the court system. Calls and communication was prompt and courteous. He was always patient in discussions and delivered tremendous results for our family. You really can’t do any better than this guy.

My husband got a ticket in Indiana for using his cell phone while operating the commercial vehicle, even though he did not. For a commercial driver it's a big deal that's why we had to take care of it. I found lots of good reviews about Joshua Malher and decided to hire him to help us with this matter. I called his office and Josh called me back the very next day to ask about the details. He was very nice and answered to all of my inquiries. Whenever I had a question I would email him and he would respond within 15 min. In the end I have received a called from his assistant saying that my husbands ticket was dismissed! I could not be more happy with the way Josh handled this case. I highly recommend him.

A top notch litigator capable of conducting vigorous depositions which diminish plaintiffs confidence of having any success. Extremely thorough. He studies and understands the issue in question and is an expert at trial law. Prepares himself more than others. Would not consider using a different litigator.

They know nothing about communication. I had to reach out to them all the time, they only called me once or twice. They did little to "keep me in the loop". 8 out of 10 conversations were initiated by me. I did get the results I wanted but it was like pulling teeth and took a few months longer than anticipated. Little to no communication from them to me.

I have been a client of Dana since September of 2020 so I have known her for almost 4 years now. My wife and I approached Dana for my marriage based green card and Lord willing, in a couple of weeks I will become a US citizen. Dana has been a tremendous help in my immigration journey starting with the Adjustment of Status, then Removal of Conditions in the Green Card, and finally the Naturalization process. Here are some of the reasons that I highly recommend Dana. 1. Dana is super professional, highly knowledgeable and very competent. 2. She is always there to help you. She gets back to you on your questions as soon as possible. 3. She is polite, kind, friendly and very approachable. 4. She has a great team of paralegals. Melissa is always quick to respond and kind as well.

I joined a local hospital working w/Attorney Rifai nearly 2 years ago. I had experience working with Immigration Attorneys as it has been my role as Director and Senior Director of Physician Recruitment for some time. She is extremely knowledgeable. She takes her craft seriously and conveys information simply, and eloquently. Besides being a brilliant attorney, she is warm, engaging and selfless. Due to the nature of my work at the hospital, often times information and clarity is needed at a moment's notice. Never has she turned me or the needs of the hospital away. She makes herself available no matter the time of day, or day of the week. She is the attorney I would recommend for both professional and personal assistance. I wish her well in this endeavor and any other career and business pursuits she approaches with boldness and confidence. Bravo Dana!

I called and scheduled a telephonic appointment for a trust. They were supposed to call me at 9:30am on a Monday and did not so I called in 3 different times and left a message. I never heard anything back so the next day I called and left another message. (I would have no problem if they missed the appointment and just called me back even though my wife took off work for it) I waited a week and never received a response so I moved on.

This placed was referred to me for being all around the lawyer I needed and for the price I can't go wrong, but after 2 weeks of calling leaving messages even emails not one time has (Aaron Robbins) returned 1 call or message and me and other family members have tried getting in touch with him or any other lawyer at this Firm but nothing and we've even spoken to his secretary who not only promised us that he would personally let him know how important this case is to us but how interested we were in having him appoint us during this case but like I said after 2 weeks we finally gave up with him. So if you hear good things about this Firm don't believe it but I do hope you get better customer service then me and my family received from ( Robbins and Seville). Well like I said this is only my experience with this Firm but like I said if your in need of a good lawyer for all around and great price I'd like to tell all who is reading this try (Mary Lake) she is by far the best around and works for you and doesn't leave you waiting or hoping for a return call or message. Well there you go this is a little/a lot about my experience with Robbins and Seville law firm business. Have a great day!!!

An Excellent Attorney! I cannot recommend Attorney Kevin Werner highly enough! He represented me as a defendant in a civil case involving a debt collector, and his expertise and dedication were exceptional. Mr. Werner is incredibly proactive, professional, and knowledgeable, going above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for his clients. He successfully won my case at the Appellate Court, leading to it being sent back to the lower court—a testament to his legal acumen. Throughout the process, he was meticulous in asking the right questions and thoroughly preparing me for every step of the battle ahead. Mr. Werner is truly one in a million, and I am extremely satisfied with his service. If you need an attorney who will fight tirelessly for you and deliver outstanding results, look no further. I would recommend him without hesitation, anytime and any day!

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.
