Emily is hands down the best divorce/family court attorney. She has helped me with many issues. Custody, divorce, child support and the legal part of selling a house. She puts her heart into it, and she is the only attorney I completely trust...

Having to navigate a divorce this past year was tough, I was rocked and didn’t know where to turn. Robert Montefusco and his office will “have your back”, are always willing to explain the process step by step and will fight for you. I couldn’t highly recommend a practice more that works with you and listens to your concerns. He is by far the best!

After having a lawyer that i felt didn't adequately represent me and had put me in a tough situation. Robert had taken on the case in my opinion on the losing team and was able to represent me and my daughter with our needs as top priority. Also having the case concluded after trial he had throughly reviewed the results and found an error. Then reached out to proceed with correcting the courts error. I couldn’t be happier with the practice and all staff!

Chris Chimeri and John Whiteman are two excellent attorneys who helped me, guided me, and made me comfortable every step of the way in my divorce case. John Whiteman ran with my case and brought it to a very successful conclusion, I couldn’t have asked for better representation or a better outcome. Also my thanks to their support staff specifically Shawneice Belin who went above and beyond to help me navigate through this entire process. I would absolutely use Quatela and Chimeri again for any of my legal needs and would highly recommend them to anyone I know in need of legal services.

We have used josh for selling and buying houses. He is 110% the best RE attorney I never seen. Lots of my friend says RE attorney don’t do anything, I told them that they didn’t get lucky to find a good one. Good attorney could make deals but bad one destroys all relationships. Josh is very punctual,detail oriented and knowledgeable. Looking no more, he is the best.

I cannot more highly recommend Josh Bogaty and his firm for Long Island real estate transactions. I am myself a lawyer, but do not handle real estate transactions. I was looking for experienced real estate counsel to handle the simultaneous sale of and purchase of residential real estate, a stressful situation that's like trying to thread a needle, with a lot of potential pitfalls. Josh came recommended from a colleague and I'm very glad we found him to advise us in the process. From our very first phone call through closing on our second transaction, Josh was simply outstanding. He is extremely knowledgable, thorough and highly responsive. We encountered several unanticipated issues throughout the process that could have been disastrous, but with Josh's expert counsel, they ended up just being speed bumps in the rear view mirror on the way to our final destination. I truly cannot more highly recommend Josh Bogaty for Long Island real estate transactions and would not hesitate to send my own clients or family members to him.

Mr. Bogaty assisted with our first home purchase and was truly helpful. He explained every aspect of our deal and fought to make sure we had the most favorable terms. He is very through, efficient and well organized. JOSH DOES NOT BS, and tells you how it is while helping you navigate. In the cutthroat RE market of NYC, having Josh, and his team, on our side made gave us a huge advantage. Until Josh retires I'll continue to recommend him to anyone dealing in real estate.

From the very first day I met with Lee and Joe I had a very good feeling that I was in the right hands. For five years, I was denied a modification twice and was told by other attorneys to not waste my time, start looking for rentals...I would never get approved. After I had my home go into auction for the first time, a friend introduced to Joe who told me to come and meet with him and Lee to see what they could do to help me and my family. I can honestly say it was the best decision I ever made meeting with them. From day one they did everything they could to help me and guide me through this very stressful situation. They were upfront and honest and said it is definitely going to be a battle but they assured me they would do everything they could to help me get approved for a mod. After a few months of going back and forth and needing to get another stay to delay my 2nd auction, I got the best phone call I've had in years, telling me to come into the office, you need to sign the paperwork you've been approved for a modification!! It was a very emotional time and such a great feeling to know I had people that truly did what they said they were going to do and they helped keep me and my family in my home! I am a huge fan of everyone at this law firm and would recommend them to everyone and any person that is in need!

So Far the Only Lawyer to Get Me a Good outcome Simply by Following my Directions. I do not know why previous attorney's were unwilling to tell my side of the story or discuss my medical condition; my motives, and the plaintiffs motives. The judge agreed with me and I got a conditional discharge. Michael was Chosen by Suffolk Legal Aid so he was chosen randomly, as far as I am concerned. I wanted to represent myself but the Judge ordered a 730 Exam for trying to speak to him in between attorneys. Michael was able to get me certified competent as well. Suffolk Legal Aid was unable to do that. They were also Unwilling to speak to the Da or Judge on my Behalf. Michael was not Timid in that regard. However, I shouldn't have to threaten to leave a Bad Review to get an attorney to follow my instructions. Good Outcome Found a guy who Proved me Competent Only Attorney To Follow My Directions

Michael was hired for what appeared to be a clear cut dismissal of a lawsuit brought against me but unfortunately has turned into much more by the opposing side. I am extremely confident in Michael's legal background and ability and have found if there is something he has not come across before , he knows where to research it and has the resources to find out what is needed. I am grateful he has taken my case and recommend him highly!

I can't say enough good things about my experience with David S. Kapp! I found him on TikTok and decided to reach out for help with my traffic case. From our very first conversation, he was incredibly professional and attentive. I hired him on a Sunday, and to my surprise, he had everything sorted out by Monday afternoon! What impressed me the most was his exceptional efficiency and communication. My court date wasn't scheduled for four more days, yet he got everything done well in advance. David ensured that I was prepared and informed every step of the way. He took the time to explain every detail and addressed all my questions, which made me feel confident and supported throughout the process. His responsiveness was remarkable—anytime I reached out, he got back to me quickly, which really eased my anxiety during this potentially stressful situation. Additionally, I found his billing to be extremely reasonable, especially considering the level of service he provided. David was transparent about his fees from the beginning, and there were no hidden costs or surprises. This straightforward approach made it easy for me to budget without worrying about unexpected expenses. If you're in need of a traffic attorney, I highly recommend David S. Kapp. He’s not just an attorney but also a true advocate who genuinely cares about getting the best possible outcome for his clients. His blend of professionalism, expertise, and personal attention is truly exceptional. Thank you for everything, David!

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
