Ken began representing my divorce case in February 2024. From beginning to end he was very detailed, professional & diligent to my case. He ensured that he would communicate with me through the entire process, and he did step by step. He made this process very stress free for me. The divorce was finalized way sooner than I also imagined! I would highly recommend Ken’s service to anyone looking for a divorce attorney, thank you Ken for everything!

Mr. White exceeded my expectations significantly, even though I already knew he was highly rated. Upon first outreach, he contacted me very quickly on a Saturday, which I was not expecting. Throughout the process, he provided me great peace of mind because I knew I could trust him and his expertise due to all of the positive reviews, but it was more than that. Divorce is a psychologically stressful process with naturally lots of difficult emotions, Mr. White’s persona could not be better for interacting with clients going through divorce. When you speak with him you’ll know what I am referring to within the first minute or so, he has a very calming and reassuring demeanor that always made me feel better after interacting with him. If you need an attorney, do yourself a favor and make sure you get a consultation call with Mr. White, you’ll know exactly what I’m referring to after you speak to him.

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Paul Szeto LLC, especially Alice and the entire team, throughout my green card application process. From the very beginning, they demonstrated professionalism, knowledge, and patience, guiding us through every step with clarity and attention to detail. Alice was always prompt in addressing any questions and kept us informed at each stage, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Their attention to detail and proactive reminders about key steps, such as future requirements for the I-751 petition and address changes, truly stand out. It’s clear that they care about their clients’ long-term success and legal compliance, not just the immediate case at hand. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul Szeto LLC to anyone seeking reliable and thorough immigration representation. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us through this journey!

I applied for my EB-1 visa with Paul and his team, and throughout the long process, which lasted 2 years, they have been incredibly thoughtful, helpful and agile at every step. This was not an easy application, which required lengthy letters to be written, essays to be drafted, and hurdles to be crossed through various agencies. They were attentive, gave me expert advice, and answered any last minute questions I had right away. I have already recommended Paul and his team to many colleagues and friends needing immigration and visa counsel, and would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone needing either short term advice, or long term application assistance. Thank you Paul, Alice and the rest of your team!

I am thrilled to share my experience working with my real estate attorney, who exceeded all of my expectations with his exceptional professionalism and responsiveness. He truly stood out from other attorneys I've worked with in the past, as he was always personally involved in every aspect of my home buying process and provided timely and insightful advice. What impressed me most about my attorney was his dedication to ensuring that every detail of the transaction was handled with care and attention. He never passed off work to junior lawyers or assistants, and was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns I had. His deep knowledge of real estate law and his ability to explain complex concepts in simple terms was truly remarkable. Thanks to his tireless efforts, I was able to navigate the often-challenging legal and financial aspects of the transaction with ease and confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled and trustworthy real estate attorney who genuinely cares about their clients' best interests. IN THE LAST, HIRE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ms. Shah handled my landlord/tenant matter where the tenant owed me a significant amount in back rent, late fees, damages, etc. Ms. Shah carefully and successfully retrieved all money that was owed to me from the tenant with precision and attentiveness. It is very seldom as a landlord to get all the money that was owed from the tenant but with Ms. Shah's expertise she made an incredibly frustration process very simple. She continuously followed up with the other side, answered all my questions and explained why and how we will proceed so that I understood. I highly recommend Bhavini to anyone who is having similar legal difficulties. I will be using her services again.

Bhavini Shah did a great job on my closing for my home. I was a first time home buyer and was very nervous about the process; Ms. Shah took the time to walk me through the process and answered all my questions promptly and explained anything that I was not clear about. I would definitely recommend to those purchasing a home, she will make you feel at ease and not so stressed ( we all know buying a home is extremely stressful). Again, she did a great job!

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.
