Picking a lawyer when you have a serious lawsuit to handle is a nerve racking part of the process and likely the single most key decision someone will make. It a decision that could easily end in failure, misery and frustration or with the right lawyer it is like having a trusted trail guide to get you through the jungle and out to the other side. It is imperative to have a lawyer you can trust and who will fight for you and also give solid advice and recommendations. I am so grateful that we chose Brett Kaminsky and his firm Friedman Shuman. Brett was there for us every step of the way and guided the process with clarity, professionalism and acumen for a very gritty and tough area of legal practice. I hope I never have to go through this again but I am so glad we went through it with Brett. My family is deeply grateful for everything he has done for us.

I had a pleasant experience with Mr Snyder. He was very detailed with explaining the process. Communicated details on the case promptly and was able to get an early approval for disability. He was very experienced, proactive and informative. Never had to wonder what was going on with the case. I would use Mr. Snyder again!!!

My husband and I had discussed updating our wills and estate planning for awhile. We saw the invitation to go and meet with Chris Wolf from Oath and it was exactly what we were looking for. Chris is so easy to work with and we were able to explain just what we wanted. If you have any doubts about who to contact to get your affairs in order, Oath Law should absolutely be your first and only call.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Scott Wolpert stated I was being accusatory when simply asking for the copy of the FERPA request his firm sent. It has been over 4 months and this firm had nothing to help my son. Scott Wolpert told me to send him a copy of the ODR Due Process complaint. Then dropped as a client. Simply because Timoney Knox has been doing nothing for this case. Now receiving the educational documents that they received. I in fact was correct, this firm had nothing. Scott Wolpert doesn’t respond to emails for weeks until you piss him off then he responds within minutes. His secretary Wendi Dwyer does not relay messages. I highly do not recommend unless you want to waste months which does no help for your child. Timoney Knox is more willing to help the school district than their own clients. Until you threaten with hiring another lawyer that’s when Scott Wolpert wakes up. Keep looking for another lawyer!

We had this lawyer in charge of our sons special needs trust. He is on vacation more then he is at work. Everything we were told when we signed papers was turned around after we los our son over 3 years ago. Our son has been gone 3 years and STILL his trust has not been closed. I have talked with several different lawyers and explained the circumstances as well as show the documents we had. We had purchased a home that could be accessible for our son , we were worried about the payments and being able to afford the payments , we were assured that the payments would be guaranteed from the annuity for 20 years regardless. Our son passed very unexpectedly after have the trust for just over 2 years.................I am now a single mom....We are now told that that basically we will not get anything any further.................This lawyer has been arrogant at times and just down right RUDE. Other lawyers have told me worse case he could have tried to get dpw to agree to at least give us the family allowance from then till now, nope you cant even discuss this with him. A paper that was supposed to be filed originally did not get filed, I would no way never recommend this lawyer.

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.
