Mr. Frankel represented me in a difficult family matter. He was prompt and communicative throughout the case. He had my best interests in mind and I am very pleased with the outcome. He will always be my first choice in any family law case. If you are dealing with a challenging case he should be your first choice as well.

Frankel Law Firm is Truly an Amazing Firm!
I'm a very private person and I don't normally do reviews however I will make an exception for Mr. Frankel...
Keeping my circumstances short, I was married for a long time and it just wasn't working anymore so we separated. We were separated for years and my X refused to sign the divorce papers. We had no children or property together,EVER. It was suppose to be a simple non- contested divorce. My X just simply refused. About two years ago I met an Amazing Man and knew I would spend the rest of my life with him! However we could never get married due to my X. Sadly the Love of my life was diagnosed with a Terminal Illness and is very sick, the only wish we both have is for us to be married. I was heartbroken, that's when I called Mr. Frankel. Mr. Frankel listened to my situation Professionally but also with Empathy and wasted no time in preparing my paperwork and getting my divorce finalized both Quickly and Efficiently!!! Thanks to Frankel Law Firm I can finally marry the Love of my Life!!
Thank You Frankel Law Firm!
PROFESSIONAL!! EFFICIENT!! LISTENS!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for Leanna Smith’s exceptional legal representation, which she provided during one of the most challenging periods of my life.
When I found myself falsely arrested and facing the wrong offense, I felt utterly helpless and scared. However, from the moment my parents hired her, she became a beacon of hope in what seemed like a hopeless situation.
Leanna’s understanding, kindness, and unwavering support throughout the entire ordeal was truly remarkable. Her clear and consistent communication not only kept me informed but also eased my anxieties. Knowing that I had her in my corner gave me the strength to endure each step of the legal process.
Her dedication and expertise were evident as she worked tirelessly to successfully drop all the charges against me. But, her assistance didn't stop there. She went above and beyond by reassuring me that everything would be alright and even helped clear my name within my college and community.
Her professionalism and compassion have left a lasting impression on me. She didn't just defend me legally, she restored my faith in justice and humanity. I am truly thankful for her service during this challenging time.
Thank you,
-Clifford C. Deitelbaum

Usually the best way to hire an atty is through personal references but for the jurisdiction we had a problem with we didn't have any and had to search cold. We avoided checking with premium/sponsored profile attorneys and saw that Leanna was not only highly rated on Avvo and Justia but amazingly had 35 all 5-star reviews so it was our first (and last call). We can immediately tell she was on the ball, caring, knew what she was doing and most importantly extremely responsive. You will find this out on your first call. The outcome of our difficult case was far above our expectations and amazing. If your shopping attorneys make your first call to Leanna and it will likely be the only one you need to make!

I live in the state of Pennsylvania and my father recently passed away. As Executrix and beneficiary of my father's estate I wasn't sure how it would play out from a remote location. I searched for Ohio based lawyers and she was one of the first to pop up. After carefully reading the wonderful reviews online, I felt confident she was the one. I was right. She has managed to explain step by step in the greatest detail the process of settling a deceased loved one's property. She is very kind and honest and has provided unbelievable guidance thru the whole process. I would recommend her in a heart beat. Thanks again Sherrille!

I was found in the position of being the Executor for my good friends estate due to her untimely passing. This was a very complicated estate and if it were not for Mr. Bauer and his staff I would not have endured all the things that were involved. They were there with me every step of the way and always in a timely manner. They went way beyond my expectations and help make this much less stressful than it could have been, I would recommend Mr. Bauer to anyone and everyone if you are looking for someone down to earth, honest and someone that will work hard for you and support you all the way...I can't thank Mr. Bauer and his staff enough for what they have done for me and for always being there when I needed them.

Tanner has been there during my foreclosure process. He was very affordable compared to other Attorneys I talked with. I had started doing the foreclosure process my self not knowing any thing about the law. When checking with all the laws it was confusing and hard but I decided that if I paid an Attorney to do this and all they would do was to charge me for them losing then I would just try to do it my self. Some one referred me to Tanner Andrews and as I sat in his office I found him very easy to talk with and easy to understand. I hired him with a 500 dollar retainer fee. He has been so curtious and understanding. He understands not every one has the money to hire an expensive Attorney. Not all expensive Attorneys are good ones. Mr. Andrews is fair and he will fight for what you believe in. I would refer him to every one.
Thank You
Mr. Tanner Andrew for every thing you have done for me and my family.

On a home purchase that went sour, the seller refused to refund our purchase deposit so we could buy another home. We moved into the sellers/our new house when we gave him the purchase deposit and signed the purchase contract. The PC stated what the seller agreed to do before closing.
The seller would not do what he agreed to so we refused to close. We asked for our deposit back so we could buy another home and move out of the one we would no longer buy.
The seller refused to give us back our deposit so we refused to move and refused to pay his demand for rent money. The seller took us to court in an attempt to evict us while keeping our purchase deposit of thousands of dollars.
We called around and Tanner Andrews was recommended to us, as we only had 3 days to respond to the eviction notice. We met with Tanner and showed him our purchase contract and deposit receipts.
He said he would beat the eviction process and counter sue the seller at the same time to get our deposit back. That meant he had to file about 7 different motions with the court and only had 3 days to get them all in to the court. Tanner only charged us $300 retainer fee for starting the process. He was affordable, that was great.
He succeeded. We got a trial date and were ready to take it to a jury trial. During this time the seller made many ridiculous offers all of which we refused. We wanted all our money back plus time to find and buy another home with.
Tanner kept us well informed each step of the way. He was never hard to get a hold of. He sent me dozens of very brief emails notifying me of any change in the process, or new current offer. Some lawyers are so hard to get a hold of. But tanner was always easy to get a hold of.
Tanner hoped we would settle so it wouldn't have to go all the way to trail. But since all the offers were ludicrous and we refused them all, Tanner hung in with us ready to go all the way to jury trail.
During PRE jury selection day, Tanner showed the judge how ridiculous this trial was going to be since the trail would end up just being a great waste of the courts time. The judge saw it should be settled here and now to save court time. But the judge had to get the seller to agree as the judge could not yet force the seller to do anything.
Based on the evidence Tanner showed the judge that we had for a jury trial, the judge began reprimanding the seller and pushing him to settle here and now, that the seller would gain nothing by continuing into a jury trial.
Tanner convinced the judge to push the seller into settling our way and refunding all our deposit money. Or we could start jury selection now and the outcome would still be the same, but just greatly delayed with tons of time and court resource's wasted.
It was fantastic. The judge hounded the seller until the seller agreed to a refund, plus letting us stay there long enough to find and buy another home before we had to move out (5 weeks). The seller agreed, the judge on the spot began writing up the terms of our settlement right then and there. We signed, the seller signed and then the judge signed making it all written in stone so the seller could not change his mind and waste any more of the courts time.
Tanner is fantastic at legal and court paperwork. He did everything right for us so we got what we wanted. We are so glad we hired him. We felt lucky he could jump on our case with only 3 days notice the eviction deadline had to be met for him to file all his motions and counter suits.
Tanners cost turned out to be a huge bargain for us. He saved us so much money & charged us so little, we couldn't be happier. That's why I write this review for him.
He protected us very well.
Tanner is a little operation compared to larger firms. We got very personalized service from him and loved it. He never made us feel insignificant like the big firms do to their customers.
Thanks for the help Tanner.

Back in around 2009 or so Mr.Kocijan helped me tremendously. He assisted in allowing my abusive daughters father sign his rights away as he wished and changed my girls names for me. I didnt have money at the time and he did this for much less than his time is worth. It has been a long time but I have been forever grateful for this act of kindness. 🙏

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.
