I could write volumes praising Mr. Cofsky. An online review is way too short to describe such an incredible attorney. Mr Cofsky is professional, precise, knowledgeable, dependable...and most importantly incredibly caring. He's an awesome lawyer. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Mr. Cofsky is a very knowledgable and dependable lawyer. He was always very professional with us and worked every avenue to be sure nothing was missed to get our adoption finalized. He and his secretary Denise were awesome the entire time we were going through the process and always answered our calls and explained everything very thoroughly. I would very highly recommend him for anyone who is looking to adopt a child.

Colleen was absolutely fantastic! I am a wedding photographer that needed my contracts revised to the point where I thought I should start from scratch. She looked over my old contract and then build me a new contract. She knew exactly what I wanted and the first rough draft of the new contract she had sent me needed very minimal change. She was very precise with exactly what she was doing and she met all of her promises with delivery. From the time that we started the contract until the delivery she kept in touch with me and told me exactly what was going on and when I can expect the finalized materials. I highly recommend Colleen's services no matter what industry you are in. She's friendly, responsive and very professional.

I sincerely mean everything I am about to say about Ed Kelleher, and I have extremely high expectations of my legal council which was exceeded by Ed. My case was a federal non-competition, non-solicitation and trade secrets case my prior employer filed against me. Large company with a lot of money. Ed proved to me he was very knowledgeable and experienced in these areas. He is excellent at analyzing the situation, foreseeing each possible outcome to determine what steps should be taken, and when, to achieve what we wanted. He is very level headed, and he does not let emotion dictate what action is needed in a case. He has excellent listening and communication skills which is great for those he represents, and bad for opposing council. He has high morals and ethics too. The best review of a person is answering the question, would you hire him again? Absolutely! Better yet, I have referred several others because I trust him with thier difficult legal situations. (Yes, we won!)

I chose Robert Depersia,II after reading his many great reviews.
I now have to add another. He made it clear when I called that beating the charge altogether was not possible and explained best and worst case scenarios. We went to court today and I feel he did better than the best case scenario discussed. I could not be happier with the job he did and highly recommend Robert Depersia,II should you need a excellent attorney in South Jersey.

I cannot say enough positive things about Daniel L. Mellor, JD, LLM and his team at Kulzer & DiPadova Law Firm. My husband and I knew that we wanted to prepare our assets in such a way that if and when something happens to us, our children do not need to have to figure it out on their own, or worse lose the important things we want them to have. Dan was able to work with us, explain each of the steps and create a Trust for us that we know will go to our children. We are not lawyers, we didn’t know the lingo, yet we were treated with the utmost respect and care throughout the entire experience. Don’t wait to set up your Family Trust, and be sure to use Daniel L. Mellor, JD, LLM to create it for you, you will be so happy you did.

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.
