Company disability policies are very difficult to interpret. I knew there was something wrong but did not have the legal expertise to file a claim on my own. Bonny and her team were terrific to work with. They explained my options and together we arrived at a sound approach that yielded the exact results I desired. Bonny handled all correspondence with my employer and the Long-term Disability payments they helped me retrieve more than compensated for their reasonable fee. I wholeheartedly recommend her firm for disability disputes.

Marie provided very good counsel when I was considering my will. She knew the right questions to ask and cautioned me against some of the thoughts I had. I now feel very secure if anything should happen to me. She obviously knows her stuff.

In 2013 I found myself in a very difficult situation I was going to be faced with the fact that after 26 years of marriage I was going to file for a divorce and I knew it was not going to be easy, So I began searching for an attorney I had met with two other attorneys before meeting with Mr. Pell. During our first meeting I felt so confident that he was the right attorney for me the process began.
With his relentless motivation and his knowledge of the law Mr. Pell demonstrated tremendous expertise compelling arguments that were extremely valuable to my case and proved dissipation of material assets and was able to get me a wonderful out come on my settlement.
Elliott Pell is an intelligent, capable, dedicated, and personable person. He is always quick on his
feet, with sensible reactions in all the circumstances I've seen him in. I feel confident in saying
that he is capable of handling any situation with thoughtfulness and maturity.
Sincerely,

Brigette Eagan may be described as a hidden gem. She may not be as well known yet, but once she represents you in a case, you quickly realize how fortunate you are to have her on your team.
Brigette represented my company in several employment discrimination matters. We faced significant liability if the plaintiffs were successful in establishing their cases. She showed excellent leadership and judgment by developing a defensive strategy and guiding her team of lawyers and paralegals throughout the course of the litigation. Ultimately we were successful thanks in large part to her persistent dedication.
Brigette is always professional and treats everyone, clients, co-workers and adversaries, with dignity and respect. She is extremely responsive, returning phone calls and emails in a timely manner. I came to trust her advice and relied on her extensively. A few things really impressed me about her. First, she has a profound understanding of employment law. Although she has only been practicing for about 10 years, to listen to her talk you would think she has been doing this for decades. Second, she cares deeply for her clients. Client service is a top priority for her as evidenced by all of the tireless work she put into our cases. Third, the quality of her work is unparalled. Whether it be writing a brief, arguing a motion before a judge or taking a deposition, she is very, very competent.
Brigette does not get enough credit. I hope her firm realizes what a valuable attorney they have and I look forward to continuing to work with her..

Bruce handled my defamation case with strength, skill and fairness. We were opposed to one of the wealthiest individuals in the world, and were consistently up against 2-3 law firms at any given time. I truly felt Bruce and his associates did a great job and demonstrated the type of commitment to the client I have rarely seen in the legal profession. I believe he is likely the best lawyer I have ever worked with, and feel much the same way about the other partners in his firm who I met (although I had less contact with them). I am generally cynical about lawyers (having gone through a recent divorce and witnessed some of the worst sides of the legal profession), but Bruce provided a whole new side for me. I would strongly recommend him.

Highly recommend!! From the office to the front desk staff to the professionalism and empathy I received from Jon Green - I could not recommend him enough. He was able to assist me with an employment matter and blew my expectations out of the park. He was always easy to reach and quick to answer and genuinely cared about what I had to say - and took the time to research my issue to make sure there wasn't something he missed. Very personable and easy to get along with as well!

I had not met Jay Freireich, yet had a good "gut" feeling about him during a brief telephone conversation: he was intelligent and direct. He then proved this with an honest and reliable character, in communicating facts of the case readily, keeping me involved, being accessible, and meeting established timeframes. His actions are to listen, understand, persevere, work hard, and be forthright, Jay Freireich is an ethical person, and a gem of an attorney -- May he always be blessed, and have the ability to bless his clients! Thank-you from the bottom of my heart!

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.
