Having Elizabeth handle my case was the best decision i could have made. She was understanding and showed empathy to my situation. She explained everything and was there for me through every step of the process. She gave me feeling that everything would be okay and she had my back. I would recommend her to anyone seeking representation. She's the best!

I was going through so much mental turmoil when I found attorney Elizabeth Close. I have never dealt with any kind of legal or court issues in my life, I was drained and terrified. She immediately handled business in the most professional way & gave me peace of mind. Not only is she beautiful and an absolute BOSS lady… but smart and friendly … when you talk with her it feels she’s a long time friend. I will always use her and I highly recommend her, especially to woman who can easily be taken advantage of in these situations. 🩷 100/10 ! Btw all staff in this firm were great people 😊

Cory represented me as the plaintiff on a civil suit, and I have only great things to say. I was one of the many small business victims of a less than honorable local accountant. Cory took the time to answer my questions, provide a calming space amongst all the angst of being bilked out of a considerable amount of money and putting forth a strong case at District Court. Cory is very knowledgeable and well versed about the law, and also has a good knowledge base regarding tax returns and contract law. I will always speak highly of Cory and recommend him to anyone in need of good counsel.

My experiences with Scaringi Is Law have been very supportive and uplifting at times of unknowing, stress, uncertainty. Ive always been treated with respect from every staff member!
Consistency, stability, dependability!
We all know that there is no guarantees in life...not really, a toaster has 30 days and on the 31st day it doesnt work....right???
Hhaa
Scaringi Law has been the 30 day warranty that hasn't ended.
Let me explain, when ever I called Melissa or Laura at the front desk, they were and are there for me every day the Firm is opened. These Front Desk Warriors are super awesome and kind!
Then there is the personal Team that is solely dedicated to ensure my Case is taking top priority. Actually every case is Top Priority!! (They make me feel like my Case is the only case!) No matter who in Scaringi Law had been assigned to work with me on my Case had shined like Senior Paralegal Deborah.
Brandon, Janice.
The one nobody wants to talk about is Billing and Finances.
Dominic had been so helpful and kind in this uncomfortable topic.
Not once ever had I been made to feel a certain way by him or anyone.
Thank you so much Marc Scaringi for your guidance and direction during the Biggest Battle of my life!!
Thank you Scaringi Law for standing by myself and my Family as we move forward into 2025.
May your Firm and Employees Be Blessed continually.
Thank you for having STAYING POWER, Strength, Reliability, Dependability, Professional Support and Guidance.
Thank you

I called to speak with someone about a 2A matter. I first spoke with Laura Petty who was very helpful in getting me to the right person. I was amazed they were able to schedule a consultation by the next day! I was paired with attorney Robert Sakovich. He was able to answer everything I had questions about and get me on track to get to a resolution. Their help has been invaluable to my situation. I would have been completely lost in trying to navigate the legal process without their help. I highly recommend them!!!

Originally we spoke Matthew Banks on our custody case he agreed to take our case we were reffered by North Penn legal services Banks was great but soon after putting $1500 down our case was given to his understudy who charged for every phone call, voicemail, email, and text. When we contacted him about not doing the steps to establish paternity we received no answer for over a week. Understand during this time the newborn baby was under 50/50 custody order with no actual order. With no paternity rights established at birth. It was necessary to establish custody before proceeding with modification of original order. It came down to us having to go through domestics and getting a call from Banks himself yelling at us telling us that his understudy has other cases we aren't the only ones. Now I know that but I also know that filing paperwork when you are paid $1500 do so isn't a lot to ask. Also when you are in any type of employment for that brief time you are engaged with your client you are suppose to make them feel like they are the only one. I agree that my daughter called a few more times then she should of in the beginning due to the fact that she was a first time mother forced to give up her baby for 3 days straight. They refused her breast milk and put the baby on formula after being breast fed strictly for 3 weeks of her precious life. She needed reassurance something was being done as fast as possible when in fact that was not the case like I said we had to go through domestics. After being reprimanded by Banks his understudy started charging for any contact so we decided not to contact him until he was needed. 2 months later we get a check in the mail for the remaining balance saying they closed out the case due to lack of contact. So if you have a custody situation be very careful I wouldn't want to see you end up in the same predicament.

Joseph Quinones was not retained by me but was very formal and held professional conduct in directing me to the right type of help and advice. I appreciate his time and concern and would recommend him to anyone based what I seen him provide as legal resource and free consultation to someone he hasn’t yet retained. I’d imagine he would be a great lawyer for anyone he retained.

Basically a menu that doesn't offer any real help in finding legal representation. If you're facing civil matters you're referred to your county legal network but if it's a criminal matter then you're stuck with a crappy appointed lawyer that gets paid by the county so of course they are more concerned with getting paid by your fines rather than helping you.

My wife and I hired Woodburn to preform the closing on my house and to do our wills. I regret ever hiring him, let alone crossing his path. Woodburn fails to adhere to American Bar rules, as well as the Pennsylvania Code, particularly when it comes to rules regarding attorney-client relationships and boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed. Woodburn is by far the most unethical attorney I’ve ever dealt with and is unfit to practise law.

I’m a current client and I’m very frustrated with Stuart’s cognitive abilities. He’s not a skilled communicator, he’s not focused- but he never forgets to send a bill. He will take years longer than needed with your affairs whenever possible. If you have worked with him I suggest you have another professional recheck his work for his regular style of overbroadness and conclusory view of your affairs. 2-Dimensional view of the world which prevent him from researching multiple issues at once. Not a business man, even if he gave advice I wouldn’t trust it as the highest and best use of your resources. Not emotionally intelligent and liable to cause fights among your decedents. Poor network of resrouces- will refer you to or have you associate with incompetent attorneys (I’m not sure if the good ones will work with him, it’s a small town.)
My family left behind a large estate and even we cannot afford Stuart’s wasteful meandering approach,
It’s very sad for my family my father would be frustrated beyond measure with his lack of structure and results

Judicial ethics opinions should be public. Redact names if you must, but advisory opinions on what PA judges should or should not be doing should be public info available to everyone. Your complete lack of transparency does not engender trust in your corrupt court system. Then again, most judges probably will not seek out an opinion, anyway.

I hired Darin after my arrest for marijuana possession of less then an ounce. He so graciously negotiated my charge from felony possession to felony possession. He never returned calls and the only time I was able to contact him was when I was paying him thousands of dollars. He talks a good game but doesn't follow through. Wouldn't recommend him unless u plan on losing horribly and spending thousands of dollars to do so.

I had to contact him to try to get information and was never given any information other than the information that I gave him. I had to contact him every time just to try and get something done. Everything he said he was going to do, he never did.
If you want the run around and no help then this is the attorney for you.

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.
