Steve LeVine is a fantastic attorney. He exceeded my expectations on short notice. He walked me through every step of the process and was extremely kind and professional the whole time. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs a reliable attorney. He saved me from getting fines jail time and ruining my background record. I can't thank him enough

My company was hit with a never-ending “nuisance” law suit. Our long-time “K Street” lawyer was making no progress however he was making a fortune in hourly fees and if I put up with this “process” I would either have to pay extortion to the plaintiff or go broke paying my lawyer. At the suggestion of one of my employees, I moved the case to Brian Maul and was immediately amazed at how well he compared and contrasted to my previous lawyer. It’s easier to just list his many attributes: 1. He is extremely logical and really knows business law. He is intelligent, ethical and easy to work with. 2. He is very cost-efficient and generally produced 2 to 3 times the amount (of superior) work my previous lawyer did on a per hour basis. 3. He got up to speed with the case fast. In less than a month, he knew a lot more about this case than my previous lawyer who had been milking it for over a year. 4. He answered my legal questions fast and to the point. We discussed how we each thought the case should be handled and came to an optimal agreement; that worked! Brian submitted well targeted briefs. His in court arguments were well received by the judge and the opposing counsel was no match for him. This case was rapidly settled without going to trial. I never thought that I would compare the work of a lawyer to an artist.. Brian is an artist !

I highly recommend Brian Maul. He's the type of lawyer every client wants. His hard work, dedication and skill was demonstrated time and time again navigating the many bumps with our case. His knowledge of the law and attention to detail not only put my mind at ease - he won our case!

17 Aug, 2017 by Dennis

I consulted Brian to get review and get some recommendations for my business. He is professional and thorough and answered my questions clearly and also gave me some directions/ options for my business that I had not considered. I would highly recommend Brian to any business owner.

Rob was wonderful to me. I was super apprehensive about filing for divorce. But helped me through it. He was extremely flexible, always with a smile and good sense of humor. Very professional and told me facts and that is what I needed. Fair cost too. Overall I am super happy with his services.

Hired Samantha Manganaro for representation for a possession charge. Samantha keep me well-informed and educated me throughout the trial process. She knew the proper steps to take to gain the desired outcome. I couldn’t be happier in the outcome of my trail and had I not contacted their firm I’m not sure I would have received such an outcome. Samantha was trustworthy, honest and to the point with the facts of my case. I am happy I hired her for representation and would recommend them any day.

Samantha assisted me with a landlord/tenant contract issue. She was quick to learn the situation and eager to assist me in resolving the situation. She listened to all of the details and formulated an appropriate response. She was excellent to work with and made me feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation. Thank you for your help!

11 Jan, 2017 by Patrishia

She was excellent she did everything that she could and then some! My husband was facing charges that could possibly land him in jail they were very serious charges. She found all the paperwork she has filed when she couldn't get documentation from the hospital you know she went to the hospital and got the documentation. She called repeatedly to the state's attorney trying to get this settled out of court when he hadn't even opened up the case File to even begin to look at it. The state's attorney wouldn't settle out of court or even look at the file but she didn't stop she kept on him. Court date came she still didn't stop she kept having them look at the paperwork what can we do what can we do this isn't his fault. Finally we got done and it's all over! No jail time, no fine, it never happened!!!! I could not have asked for a more attentive lawyer. Thank you so much for everything that you've done.

Diana Schobel handled my divorce from start to finish. She handled every aspect of what issues arose and provided phenomenal legal advice commensurate with her extensive experience. She guided me through the entire process, explaining things to me (sometimes a few times). I rate her an A++. I could not have asked for a better attorney.

Great experience. Went above and beyond. Will always be greatful for her help.

We contracted with Diana M Schobel to assist with a DLLR - Work Place Fraud audit. Ms Schobel was able to help us resolve this matter quickly, at minimal expense. She was efficient, professional, and very personable. Ms. Schobel was able to keep up informed as to the status of our case without resorting to excessive billing. We were very happy with her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her firm.

Frank's legal assistance has been critical to the opening and running of my small telecommunications services business. His background understanding of business concepts is second to none, and he has always made himself personally available to me for consultation and advice, As an Engineer, I have very limited understanding of the legal side of things, but Frank's presence has given me confidence to press forward into unfamiliar business territory, In several matters of taxes and business fees, Frank has helped me steer clear of pitfalls. He has become a trusted friend and business adviser.

21 Mar, 2017 by Anwar

Mr. Goldstein has been one of the best decisions I made for my Pediatrics practice. He always gives precise and crisp advise , backed with experience and a vast knowledge of Corporate Law. We consult with him for all our legal matters and he guides us accordingly.

21 Mar, 2017 by Sheldon

I originally started using Frank Goldstein in 1983 when I set up my corporation. Since that time i have had need for his services a number of times and have used him exclusively for the past 5 years. Frank is a wonderful resource for me from both a technical and ethical perspective. There is never any question in my mind when i ask for his opinion on any legal subject affecting my business, it will be expert and well considered from all points of view. I have worked with a number of very capable lawyers over the years and, in my opinion, Frank would be right at the top of the list.

Responsive, professional, and affordable is how I'd describe our company's experience with Radiance. She kept us well informed during every step of our trademark process. Having worked with hourly attorneys in the past, I must admit I was a bit apprehensive about her flat rate billing, but I was totally impressed by the amount of time she invested in answering our questions down to the smallest detail. As a small business owner, it feels good to have a trusted advisor and strategic partnership [like Radiance] in our corner. We've already begun referring her to our fellow small business owners.

21 Sep, 2016 by Alan

Radiance IP Law is excellent! This is no ordinary firm. Radiance understands the constraints of startups and she is good at quickly finding solutions. She responded quickly to all my questions and went out of her way to make time to walk me through complex issues. My company is better off for having met Radiance. She has my highest recommendation.

08 Sep, 2016 by Ann

Radiance provided exactly what I needed for my business--a contract that was clear, easy to read, and memorialized terms with a client. She nailed it! Radiance is very intelligent and articulates issues easily. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

Beth is one of the few attorneys I have found in my business career who is truly dedicated to the client. She is not only competent, honest and extremely brilliant, she is caring and dedicated to the client's concerns. She is strong, aggressive and doesn't back down in protecting her client's interests. These are very rare traits in this day and age where most lawyers are looking first to maximize their own billing hours. She is quick to respond and does not tell you what you want to hear, but whaty you need to hear. She is the personification of what an attorney is supposed to be.

My entire encounter and engaging with Law of Sabitiyu Abou was very professional and detailed What I loved most was that Ms Abby was always available, she returned my many calls, texts and,emails even when I was just anxious and needed reassurance.

Berman, Sobin, Gross LLP represented me in a public safety hypertension case arising from my 22 year law enforcement career. Matt Engler handled my case from the beginning and explained the process in great detail. Matt and the entire staff were patient and answered all my questions. They communicated with me regularly and successfully presented my case in front of the Worker's Compensation Commission, resulting in a favorable award based on my condition. Matt and the staff at Berman, Sobin, Gross went above and beyond to ensure my medical needs will be covered now and in the future. I highly recommend Matt Engler and the firm for any public safety worker's compensation cases.

I highly recommend Mr. Engler to anyone who may unfortunately find themselves in a work related injury situation. Matt and his staff are thorough, knowledgeable and stay in constant communication with you throughout the entire process. Matt will fight for your injury coverage and ensure that you receive the rights and benefits you deserve!

I have seen this attorney offer dubious legal advice on more than one occasion. This attorney was previously reprimanded by the Attorney Grievance Commission for (from their website): "Commission Reprimand for failing to provide competent representation, for failing to keep his client reasonably informed and for failing to explain a matter to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the client to make informed decisions regarding the representation." Be careful if you're thinking of using this attorney.

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.

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.
