Joel was very helpful in analyzing my legal problem. It was not worth the legal expense, but he gave me some good tips. I filed the appeal with the insurance company denial myself and voila - got a full payment just a week later. Will definitely use them if I have a disability problem.

I was denied in my long term disability claim by an insurance company. I was recommended another law firm with who I was familiar with. The lawyer listened to our explanation and told us it didn’t sound promising, but to send the supporting documentation. A few days later I received an email from the lawyer stating I had NO appeal left.
I felt I needed a second opinion. Not having another recommendation, I searched the internet and came across Michael
Quiat. Mike had a wealth of experience and seemed like a seasoned professional. We spoke to him on the phone and he was very sympathetic to our plight and seemed very enthusiastic about our chances on appeal. He was very thorough and knowledgeable throughout the entire process and documented and supported all the facts that the insurance company had to accept the claim. I highly recommend Mike!

I can't express enough how thankful I am for Constance S. Hill and her incredible support throughout my immigration process. From the moment I had my online consultation with her, I felt a sense of relief knowing I was in the hands of someone who truly cared about my case. Constance took the time to listen to my concerns, explain every detail of the process, and answer all my questions, no matter how small.
What really made the difference for me was their constant communication. Whenever I was nervous or unsure, Constance was there to reassure me, always quick to respond and provide thoughtful, clear guidance. I never felt like just another client; I felt like they genuinely had my best interests at heart.
Thanks to her hard work, patience, and expertise, my urgent case was resolved quickly and successfully. I’m very grateful for everything she did for me. If you're looking for an immigration attorney who truly cares and knows what they're doing, I wholeheartedly recommend Constance S. Hill. She made a challenging process so much easier, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I would never recommend either Francesca or Carlye, as my experience with them was that of ineffectiveness, procrastination and extreme inefficiency resulting in high bills and no accomplishments on my behalf, accompanied by poor attitude. I contacted Francesca in late Sep 2023 to help me and my son gain control of my son’s college fund and get my ex to pay child support. Francesca was optimistic, stated that they will get to work on it “right away”, and suggested that she bring on Carlye as it would be “more efficient”. What I was not told is that I will be billed thousands of dollars for Francesca and Carlye talking to each other (conferences they called it, and that is very lucrative for the two of them, but definitely not efficient). I was also not told that it meant that Francesca will dump my case on an inexperienced junior attorney –something I would have never agreed to. Not knowing any better I took her advice. By the end of November, still with no court date or even a motion in sight, my ex hired a lawyer, who, according to Francesca, was going to give us a counter-offer. Francesca suggested we wait to see it, before going to court. I waited for somebody to reach out to me until mid-January, for nearly 2 months, when my ex sent my son’s tuition payment to himself instead of to college. When I texted her, Francesca finally called my ex’s lawyer and discovered that he fired her. I am not sure when Francesca or Carlye were planning to follow-up on the situation if I didn’t text them. At that point, Francesca reassured me that we will be doing to court “very soon” (previously suggesting that in such a situation we can have an emergency court hearing within days). However, neither she nor Carlye pursued an emergency hearing, and did nothing to remediate the situation, leaving myself and my son to fight my ex for the tuition money, but I was billed thousands of dollars for communicating with them about the situation. It took until March to get a motion produced, with the court date eventually scheduled for mid-April. At that point my ex lawyered up again, asking to postpone the court date so they can file counter-motion. While it only took his lawyer a total of only 11 days from when he was hired until he completed the motion and submitted it to court, my lawyers missed court communications, and with all the other delays on part of Francesca and Carlye we did not get to court until early June, more than 8 months from when I hired them, and at the cost of 4-5 times what my ex paid his lawyer to get to that point. Once we got to court, Carlye proved to be just as ineffective and inefficient in convincing the judge of anything of benefit to me. The summer was spent by her in an unbroken streak of failures to get any results on my behalf or to move the process toward resolution through multiple court appearances, while billing me thousands of dollars. I was left to fight with my ex by myself outside of court to try to get to any kind of an agreement about the college fund and child support, while continuing to pay legal fees for "representation" but no results. My ex and I finally came to an agreement, outside of court, with no input from my lawyers. The agreement was written up by my ex’s attorney, who was much more responsive and efficient through that process. I really should have fired Francesca and Carlye at that point and finalized it myself, but I thought that I may as well benefit from having access to legal representation. Another mistake. They dragged it out for another 2 months, with the final agreement being identical to the original + changes by my ex that he sent over the day after his lawyer circulated the agreement, but I was charged additional ~ 4500 for their “work”. They did nothing but dragged the process out for over a year, left me to fight with my ex by myself and “efficiently” billed me tens of thousands of dollars. When I brought my concerns to Francesca, she accused me of trying to shake her down and get out of paying my bills. So – definitely don’t recommend.

I am so thankful for Thomas and his help with my divorce. I recommend him at every opportunity. His knowledge and approach kept my divorce civil and moving. When things escalated he was there for me, looking out for my best interest, while helping me set reasonable expectations. He doesnt get sucksd into the drama and isn't going to milk unfortunate situations to bump his bottom line.

The O’Cathian Law Group was introduced to me by a close friend who himself had gone through a very difficult transition in his life. Best advice I got. From my very first meeting with Francesca and Thomas, it was very clear to me that I had made the right choice. Thomas rolled up his sleeves and worked his tail off for me. He is very knowledgeable, competent, caring, compassionate, thoughtful and always treats me with respect. Thomas guided me through the most difficult 14 month period of my life. Though I never wanted to walk into their office I am very happy with my result and will be forever grateful that I did. I highly recommend them.

Mr. Beylerian was very honest and competent. His team went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and put together my case. The whole process was supposed to be very challenging however Mr. Beylerian and his team made me feel as if I was with family instead of a law firm.

I had a really bad experience with Glenn Reiser's representation.
When we met with him and his brother, they said we'd always be in the driver's seat. It got off to a promising start for the first few months, but after that the momentum took a nosedive and it seemed like we barely had any input at all.
In all fairness, when he took our case over we did have a judge who by his own words was showing partiality to the other side. But after pointing that out, he didn't do anything about it. So we kept being hit with bad rulings. At the time we were told there was nothing we could do about it. Just wait for the appeal.
He doesn't really seem to know too much about land value outside of his area either with particular circumstances and he made an awful assessment of one of our experts, which turned out to be the opposite of what he said.
Rather than aiming for the best possible scenario for situations that arose he seemed to be repeatedly proud that it wasn't the worst possible outcome.
Then back in a pretrial conference call, the judge verbally approved me to testify virtually because I'm out-of-state but Glenn dragged his feet and never wrote the request that was agreed upon. I had assumed he did this but then 2 months later he forgot completely about it then gave me a hard time that I didn't want to testify in person when I had already received permission to do it virtually. But because he delayed, it cost me more having to come out in person when it was never necessary in the first place.
When driving to court, he charges his actual hourly rate for legal work and not mileage reimbursement which adds up if the court is in a different county.
There was also wasted time and money with him. One smaller example is his firm ordered video depositions then they forgot they ordered them and they wanted to use the written transcripts instead which were much cheaper and we could've just gone with originally. Again a small example, but it gives you an idea.
He appeared to triangulate the plaintiffs he was representing in our case as well.
Whenever he did something questionable, in my observation he'd do it verbally to one of the plaintiffs. He lied to me about something another plaintiff said which made us make a decision, based on the false information he provided, we never really recovered from. Then when I found out what happened from the other plaintiff and called him out on it he didn't tell the truth about what happened.
When I wanted to switch attorneys, I asked for the files of our case. When he responded if digital worked. I replied yes, then he never sent them over. After that it was too late in the case to switch to a better one.
Ironically, he threatened to leave the case close to the last minute when I disagreed with him on some issues because I felt it wasn't being honest.
A lot of the communication with him felt like a manipulation and that I wasn't being told the information directly. In fact, he was so completely wrong some times that by doing the opposite of what he said was the better move. At one point, he admitted, "you were right," to one of the other plaintiffs. However, I wanted my attorney to be right. That's what we hired him for and it made me lose all faith.
I personally found him to be dishonest. And while he definitely is an amazing and expertly skilled trial attorney, he seemed awful at a lot of other aspects of being a lawyer. The worst being negotiating in my and the other main plaintiff's opinion. He felt very draining to be around and deal with. A case that spans over a long period of time is difficult enough but dealing with him just seemed like it added to the burden.

Long story short - Back around 2017 our company was involved in lawsuit. A man you can trust and dedicated excellent Attorney Mr. Glenn R. Reiser from Shapiro Croland Reiser Apfel & Di Iorio, LLP law firm. He was successful in all suits that we had placed with him.
He was in constant communication with us, returning phone calls/emails/correspondence promptly and went to great lengths to ensure that we understood our various legal options -though he was busy with several cases, he made us feel like we were the only clients of his firm. Mr. Glenn R. Reiser is clearly a highly skilled litigator that knows when to be aggressive and when to pursue alternative options; his legal experience won us a highly favorable outcome. Most importantly, I am deeply grateful to Mr. Glenn R. Reiser for his patience and respect for diversity.
He is just a fantastic person to work with -sharp and experienced, but kind and understanding.
He receives our highest recommendation, and I am sure that you will not be disappointed.
He was very patient with me, always answered my questions and gave me objective counsel I knew I could trust. His hard work and diligence resulted in a favorable outcome in my case.
Simply phenomenal from start to finish, he was a pleasure to have on my side and would highly recommend Mr. Glenn R. Reiser and his firm.

Mark McAuliffe shepherded us through the transaction seamlessly and we really appreciate that. The transaction was on an abbreviated timeline and Mark and Linda Kruse kept to that timeline. They navigated the speed bumps that pop up occasionally in a real estate transaction with no stress to us. We give McNerney & McAuliffe the highest possible recommendation!

I was denied in my long term disability claim by an insurance company. I was recommended another law firm with who I was familiar with. The lawyer listened to our explanation and told us it didn’t sound promising, but to send the supporting documentation. A few days later I received an email from the lawyer stating I had NO appeal left.
I felt I needed a second opinion. Not having another recommendation, I searched the internet and came across Michael
Quiat. Mike had a wealth of experience and seemed like a seasoned professional. We spoke to him on the phone and he was very sympathetic to our plight and seemed very enthusiastic about our chances on appeal. He was very thorough and knowledgeable throughout the entire process and documented and supported all the facts that the insurance company had to accept the claim. I highly recommend Mike!

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.
