Shocked!
How often does a "cold-call" letter offering to appeal your property taxes work out and in your favor. Put me down as a convert. Attorney Lavanga sent a detailed letter to Berks County residents and other counties. By nature a skeptic, I read it several times and could find nothing amiss, rather nothing to lose. Attorney Lavanga would file the appeal, attend county hearing, and even pay for a home appraisal, if needed, in support of the appeal.
The process could not have been simpler with the lion's share of the work being done by the attorney. The catch? None! The agreed fee was fair: a one-time fee of 50%. of any possible tax savings. No savings, no fee. It was that simple.and resulted in a reduction of property taxes in the thousands.
Delighted!

Michael was the best attorney that I ever dealt with in my entire life! His fees were extremely fair and his service was top notch! He was able to handle my situation quickly and get results. When his job was finished I was pleasantly surprised as I had part of my retainer issued back to me. I thought that I actually owed him money because of the many time that I called him asking him multiple questions. This man is both honest and fair which is hard to find nowadays with most attorneys. He's the Best!!

Michael Shelton has been helping me navigate through a pretty rough custody battle . He not only has been very professional but also has gone beyond my expectations of a lawyer .
He is relatively new to custody court and still has the drive and passion to seek justice in what can very quickly become a harsh situation . He shows empathy , seeks answers and believes in me when the system seems to have failed me. He is a seeker of truth and justice . I admire and respect him and wish him all the best with his future endeavors .

Mr. Shelton assisted us in determining the proper state for probating an elderly relatives will as it relates to previous and potential state residence. He researched the laws in two states and provided a sound recommendation on the best course of action. Throughout the effort he was totally professional, timely in the provision of material and remained in constant communication with us. We were pleased with his services.

Had enrolled with a famous online site and was soon stuck with questions of what to do and how to do it. The result, a denial of the trademark. I met with Catherine. She was easy to talk to and to my relief, non judgmental on the errors of my ways. Catherine reworked the application and I soon had my Trademark.

Catherine did what a good lawyer is supposed to do. She anticipated what my needs were going to be and ensured I had protection I never dreamed I would want. Two years later my business has grown in ways I could not imagine, but whenever I start a new project and realize that is covered by my Trademark, I am thankful she took the time to really guide me through all the options and not just do the bare minimum I requested.

As a Realtor, I often run into situations where disputes arise with the parties involved in a real estate transaction that require the guidance of an attorney. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Mr. DeGroot for his exemplary work, great expertise, professionalism, and compassion on every transaction where he has brought both parties back to the settlement table for a happy ending.

As a realtor, it's critical to have a lawyer 'highly' knowledgeable in all areas of real estate law. No matter what issues came up during my deals, Barry ALWAYS found a way to CLOSE the deal!! He is professional and exceptionally brilliant enabling the hardest deals to get to the settlement table.

I was referred to David Gould from one of his clients, who used him for multiple closings. In my own matter, he was excellent with the details. He found some things in a contract that would have really caused us a problem had we signed without his thorough review. I am planning to use him again in the near future for our next closing. I have worked many years as a legal assistant for another firm, and I know a good attorney when I see one. I highly recommend Mr. Gould.

Jeff has helped me with both bankruptcy and foreclosure. He is honest, engaging, knowledgeable, prompt, and has that special ability of making you feel as though you are his only client. He is also very creative in his approach to your problem. I recommend him to ANYONE who needs a smart, resourceful attorney! And his fees are reasonable as well! Btw -bankruptcy discharged a few years ago, and as far as foreclosure, am still in my home!

Peter was able to take a difficult family situation and make it a pleasurable experience. I took my parents to him for Estate Planning. They were apprehensive and anxious about the process. Peter was able to put them at ease and handled my family with the skill of a family counselor. Our entire family felt like we were in good hands. Peter's professionalism, knowledge of the law and warm personality made our experience stress free.
I would highly recommend Peter Reiss to anyone in need of a great "Estate Planning" lawyer.

In May of 2016, I consulted with Mr. Brooks on the possibility of him representing me at a hearing specific to a security clearance investigation being adjudicated on my behalf. He was very clear on his fee and was direct on what he would provide for me as my attorney. I hired Mr. Brooks, even after consulting with an attorney who 'specialized' in the type of hearing I was to have. Mr. Brooks was extremely professional and competent in the matter telling me exactly what I needed for him to proceed possibly eliminating the need for the hearing at all. In early September of 2016, I was informed by Mr. Brooks, and by the Department of Defense, that their need for clarification on concerns they had was satisfied, and a hearing was not required. I received formal notice from the DOD cancelling the hearing. I strongly would recommend Mr. Brooks and if necessary, would use his services in this, and other legal representation matters.

Ron is very professional and we love his services! Unlike other law firm that we called and inquired, they either no response or don't even bother to reject our inquiry, or got too arrogant. Ron personally responded to our calls, took his time to understand our business processes and very accommodating to our request, tailored the document to fit into our business model. We would definitely seek for his services in the near future if we need to, and 100% recommend him!

Well I don't know where to start to express how pleased and excellent LEGAL SOLUTIONS and what they represent. The dedication to their clients and concerns is over and beyond any service. My husband and I had the pleasure of having attorney Jacqueline E. Alexander, Esquire to represent him in a child custody case that we thought would be a nightmare. To say attorney Alexander dependable, helpful and dedicated to her clients is an understatement. First my husband had a complex custody case in which attorney Jacqueline E. Alexander Esquire was a superhero at making the case fair and acceptable to both parties. She fights for her clients until the very end and makes sure her clients’ concerns are addressed. From the beginning to end she was very detailed and informative, which most attorneys are not due to busy life in court, or the case is not reviewed in time. Every time I needed her, she either called me right back or picked up the phone to talk with a positive demeanor and attitude. She is up front with no hidden agendas and always makes sure her clients are in the loop. Her representation is A1, and she is a beautiful person inside and out. We were amazingly blessed to hire her as my husband’s attorney. We are pleased and will use her service if needed in the future. Thank you so much attorney Jacqueline. You rock!!!

Legal Solutions, specifically Ms. Alexander, handled my divorce with the utmost professionalism and compassion. The firm believed in me when other firms would not. Throughout the ordeal, I was treated with dignity and respect by the entire team. Ms. Alexander, in my opinion, went to great lengths to endure that I was heard. I highly recommend this firm to anyone needing representation. You couldn't be in better hands!

My wife and I both had success with Carol Shelly & Associates in our liability claim. With Carol\'s guidance, we filed separate claims for injuries from an automobile accident. Her office gave us clear advice, referred us to medical consultants, tracked and filed all the necessary Medicare adjustments and health insurance correspondence, assembled our medical doctors\' treatment files, and guided us through depositions. We both recommend Carol Shelly & Associates as an expert and well-informed law firm, especially in liability claims such as ours.

Unfortunately using this firm set me back years. I used Jessica Pritchard originally for my Custody battle and she pawned me off on Liz, who was basically telling me I will never have hope with getting what I want. I ended up switching to Melanie, for an adoption process that we started in August. Turns out that come end of October, not one thing was done. I was disgusted to learn that no work was ever done except for the initial paperwork and clearances and immediately upon hiring a new lawyer everything was filed immediately and things are well underway. The lawyer should be reported to the ethics board as she should’ve taken time away from her job as she was dealing with personal issues that completely affected her performance. But instead I was lead on for months and had precious time wasted. When another firm already has done so much more for us in less than a month. Do not waste your time with this firm.

This firm is disgusting. They will sell you a dream and make every excuse when they do not produce, blame everyone else but still want insane fees. Terrible in the court room. Great at finding ways to run up fees. Their billing practices should be illegal!!! Do not hire!!! They will not have your back they only want your wallet. They will also completely dismiss you when you start questioning billing. Be sure to check reviews everywhere before you think about the mistake of hiring them. If I could give 0 stars I would.

If you get Ms. Criste, you're in good hands.

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.
