Brittany and the team at WayPoint Legal helped my uncle when he thought he had no one to turn to. They guided him -- and us -- through all the processes he needed to get back on his feet and move to an assisted living community near us.
I cannot praise Brittany enough: she was kind, compassionate, patient, and understanding. She worked tirelessly to help us as we worked through all the difficulties of long-distance legal and paperwork snarls. Her understanding of the ins and outs of assisted living and her intelligent analysis helped keep me sane in the overwhelming situation I unexpectedly found myself navigating.
We trusted WayPoint, and they did not let us down.

Fred Niemann and his staff were easy to deal with and saved us a huge amount of money. The first lawyer we went to insisted that my wife and I needed complex wills, involving the establishment of many trusts, adding thousands of dollars to the cost. He actually refused to do the simpler wills. So we went to our next choice, Hanlon, Niemann & Wright. Fred, hearing the same story from us as the first lawyer, gave us the same explanation of the risk of not using trusts. But Fred listened to our explanation of why we believed that we didn't need them. He agreed with us., and Hanlon Niemann put together the two wills and the power of attorney documents that were exactly what we both wanted, and for less than the first lawyer would have charged for the simple wills that we had originally asked for. If we ever need help from a law firm again, guess who we will call.

I got Eric lee as my lawyer for one of my court cases pro bono. I retained Eric as my lawyer for several court cases that I had. Which included obstruction of justice, a violation of restraining order and a burglary charge. For the obstruction of justice I just had to pay a small fine. Eric was able to get the violation of restraining order dropped down to a disorder persons contempt. Which I had to plead guilty to and received a years probation and minimal fines. For the burglary charge Eric was able to enter me into pti, pre trial intervention and I plead not guilty to the burglary accusations. So as long as I didn't get into anymore trouble it was as if the charge never happened. Which was good because I was looking at 2-5 years of jail time. I was entered into pti and received another year of concurrent probation and $125 of fines. I would highly recommend Eric lee for any criminal cases you might have. He was very helpful in my court cases and kept me out of prison.

I would highly recommend Attorney Eric Lee. I was facing a legal challenge and needed excellent representation and guidance. Eric took the time to thoroughly understand my case, patiently answered all my questions, and provided helpful guidance every step of the way. Eric protected my rights and advocated for the best possible outcome in my case. His paralegal Victoria always kept me informed of any updates regarding my case. Thanks to Eric and Victoria I received the support and representation I needed during a challenging time. I would highly recommend Attorney Eric Lee of Hanlon Niemann & Wright.

I highly recommend Eric Lee,I got a DUI for the first time and of course was scared out of my mind. Eric Lee and the rest of the team eased my mind about the whole process. Definitely great customer service and professionalism. I am also very happy with the deal I got. If I ever (which I hope I don’t) get into any other trouble, Mr.Lee is the one I will call on. Thank you so much for everything!

Our business is a family owned wholesale distributor and we have been working with Matt for over a year now. We couldn't be happier with the caliber of service, responsiveness and continual professionalism Matt has demonstrated thus far. He has helped us with a number of collections cases, which we had been trying to deal with in-house, unsuccessfully, for many years. Matt's approach has allowed us to address problematic accounts in a professional manner without jeopardizing our long term business relationships. Throughout each case, Matt has been able to clearly explain all of our options and their potential outcomes, as well as how each situation plays into the broader context of our business.
Additionally, Matt has been advising us on our internal processes related to our customer credit accounts. He has helped identify ways for us to better protect ourselves when extending credit and ways to make sure we are in the best position possible in the event that something goes wrong. Working with Matt, we feel much more informed about the legal process and the systems in place to help companies like us deal with different situations.
We will undoubtedly continue our relationship with Matt and give him our highest endorsement.

I have worked with Matthew in the past year on 2 different areas of business law. Matthew was extremely detail oriented putting together a business agreement and spent a tremendous amount of time answering all my questions and listening to my needs and understanding my intent of the agreement. Matthew also has helped me with some employee issues and I am certain he directed me in the correct direction. I have and will recommend Matthew to any business owner looking for solid advice or representation.

Working with Mr. Blaine was an experience in a class by itself. Not only was he very professional, timely, and informative, he was personable enough to relate to on a level that helped with the stress of dealing with a legal matter. My phone calls were returned the same day every time, emails returned within an hour or two at most, and Mr. Blaine never seemed to be rushing me through any of my questions or concerns. Any time I had a question, he would listen genuinely and walk me through the steps it took to resolve the issue.

My Family hired Raymond Santiago to represent my brother in his immigration case. He was facing removal from the US and Attorney Raymond Santiago worked hard to help tremendously to prevent that. My brother won his waiver of cancellation hearing as a result! Thru this whole ordeal Santiago shown us great compassion & understanding while helping to guide us thru the process step by step. He was extremely professional and responsive to all of our questions as a family, thru email communication, video conference & in person appointments. His assistant Stefanie was very responsive, helpful and respectful. If I can give Santiago 10 stars I would. Mr Santiago thank you for fighting hard for my brother, you're awesome!

Alan is excellent. From my first consult with him in a franchisee suit, I knew I was in good hands. He had a thorough and deep understanding of the law, and he had excellent insight into my particular case. He was able to help me understand my options and, as such, I was able to avoid litigation. It was a huge win for me and my company. His attention to detail was second to none.

My wife and I hired the Tomes Law Firm last year. After making the choice to work with Frances and her team I can honestly say, it was an excellent decision. You can rest assured that everyone on her staff will work efficiently (and quickly) to provide the expertise and service you need. I'd be remiss not to mention Maria and Ken, both of whom were very communicative, patient, friendly and available for any questions we had. I highly recommend their services!

I highly recommend Ed Fradkin. Ed planned the strategy to end my “lifetime alimony” which I had been paying for more than 25 years. It played out exactly as Ed said it would. Not only did it end as Ed said it would I got back 35% of my retainer.
Ed was responsive and diligent. After speaking with 8 law firms, I went with my gut and hired Ed. A great decision and excellen outcome

as i was married for 15+ yrs i anticipated the divorce process to be much lengthier and more stressful as that is the experience my divorced friends and relatives have had in the past.
that was the opposite at fradkin law due to the small office atmosphere. things are not "dragged out" and there is a commitment to quality other firms sorely lack.
i attribute much of the speed and ease to ed's paralegal Amy. she handled all matters with expertise, swiftness, and i was never made to feel as if I was a bother (there were weeks i had to call her daily). she extended emotional reassurance every step of the way from day 1 to finalization which meant the world.
I recommend this firm 10/10

I have worked with a handful of lawyers in my life, and although I didn’t end up going through with my case this time, I did have a great experience talking with Ms. Johnson about it. I found her to be very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and compassionate. She’s respectful but direct, which is actually a very difficult balance to maintain. Perhaps what I appreciated most about her was her constructive positivity, or maybe it’s better phrased, positive realism? I don’t know how to put this, but I think most people that live in American Society today will understand what I’m talking about: It’s so unhelpful to seek advice from people who blow sunshine and rainbows up your butt when the situation, as it stands, is not looking good and it needs to be addressed. Thanks to the things that Miss Johnson pointed out, I feel much more empowered to overcome my circumstances, albeit using a different path than I had previously imagined. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking help, especially those who wish to work with someone who treats them with dignity, empathy, and respect. Sadly, that is not a given anymore, and I just find it extremely valuable, definitely worth touting on the internet.

I was involved in a Car Accident and suffered a injury that prevented me from returning to work. Worker’s Comp. Insurance Company placed me at a rate that was far below the Compensation Percentage.
Ms. Johnson fought for me through Litigations , Adjusted my Compensation Rate to the Standard, and I received all the “Back Pay” from my New Adjustment.
Her Team really Saved my Situation because these Worker’s Compensation Insurance Companies will place you at a Low Compensation Rate making it Difficult to Pay your Bills while you’re unable to work.
Thank You Ms Pamela Johnson and Your Team !

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.
