We closed on a new home yesterday with the help of Mr Nieto and his assistant Doris. Doris was on top of everything from emails to phone calls considering the Real Estate Agent that we had barely kept us in the loop. Doris was there to answer any of our questions. On the day of closing, Doris left a beautiful message on a sticky note pasted onto a folder provided by Mr. Nieto with our closing copies & Congratulating us on our new home. A beautiful touch. Furthermore, Mr Nieto took his time explaining what documents I were signing as you have no time to read everything. I trust Mr Nieto’s firm entirely as you should with anyone representing you. To Mr. Nieto and Ms. Doris - Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

I was stabbed at my job with a 14 inch sushi knife by my boss the cut through my fingers and tendons!Long story short Antonio J.Otero said if I ended up with loss of function he would help in getting awatd.Later after he says he never stated that. Looking through old paperwork I find from they're office,Lauren N.Rivera settlement paralegal sends me a letter stating that once I have reached maximum medical improvement and may be entitled to an award for loss of function known as a schedule loss of use award!Antonio knew that from Doctor Douglas Schwartz that I have lost 50 percent of function and suffer from nerve damage!Was in the hospital for 4 days fighting the infection!Was never taking seriously at this place,DISGRACE!!!!

The intake staff named Miguel Diaz was the worst!!!! His verbal tic was not only dismissive, condescending and unprofessional, but he was wasting other peoples' time. I should of listened to my gut and hung up on him earlier on in the phone call. He doesn't let you speak to the attorney at all and demands in CAPS in an email that he wants you to send him all medical reports/clinical summaries with no HIPPA release form. I think he has some form of Tourettes Syndrome. For instance, he could not stop saying "oK!?" at the end of each sentence that does not warrant it. Honestly, it is very hard to listen to someone who dismisses the listener each time. I have his voice recordings on audio, and it is very hard to listen to with his rude tone and demeanor — if I could attach his audios for everyone to listen to, I would have done it by now. Because the things he preaches to you about is quite manipulative and does not go anywhere. It's better to find someone else.

I hired this lawyer to assist with a matter related to property and property taxes. He misguided me causing me to incur unnecessary debt in addition to the fees he charged me. I would not recommend him. If I could give him zero stars I could.

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.

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.

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.

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.
