Corinne took care of my divorce case. It finalized in April 2019 and the result was excellent. I obtained more financial support from my ex than I expected! Corinne is very nice, patient, and polite to everyone, has the magical skill of do not react right away! To be frankly honest, I was once very upset because of not enough explanations, but more I started to understand the process and her, I was totally blessed to have her as my attorney. I trust her very much and would like to get more help for my new business. I would highly recommend her!

When I first contacted John Fazzio I was pretty much at my wits end. I had been dealing with numerous alimony issues for close to 10 years with no end in sight. John took the time to address all of my concerns and put my mind at ease. For the first time I felt like someone truly had my back and I could trust that I was in good hands. Even though I didn’t get everything I wanted the overall outcome was a positive one. Although I hope never to need any legal assistance again, if I do I will be most definitely be reaching out to Mr. Fazzio and his team.

I wanted to share an extremely positive experience I had working with Brian. Not only is he smart and well connected but he is compassionate. I had an issue with some tenants who were law students, and thought they could leave my place in a shambles and not paid 3 months and leave their lease 4 months early. I had originally contacted Brian to handle the eviction, however he went above and beyond to try to solve this for me, and was able to obtain satisfaction out of this unfortunate set of affairs. He took extraordinary steps at his own expense. At each step of the way he let me know what was going on and even though it took a little bit longer but it's only because of the court system. I will certainly use Brian for other things I need in the future such as real estate closings or other business transactions. He is more expensive than other eviction attorneys, but he will come through for you where others fail, and is worth his weight in gold to put things in his capable hands and be able to step back, and get an excellent resolution with someone who really has your back.

Daniele is not only the consummate professional in her able representation of The Office of Sheriff and the County of Bergen, she engaged in frequent dialog with me in ensuring that I was not only apprised of each step in the complex litigation but that I was comfortable with the legal process. While Danielle handled my case load of "routine" suits, she also represented my office all the way through the 3rd Circuit federal courts in a unique case that involved international custody issues at the Hague. It seemed that we were always deliberating strategy for one unique case to another. These included skip and falls in the jail to mental health and Krol patients as well as the aforementioned custody case that went to the Supreme Court. Danielle had the discipline and ability to handle the complex and routine with the same positive, can do attitude and with aplomb. Rarely in my extensive career in Law Enforcement and government have I encountered a more competent and professional person and attorney.

The law firm Lofaro & Headley has always addressed my concerns and taken all my calls and settled any situation Very quickly In particular, Wayne Headley is an excellent lawyer.

As a first-time buyer, navigating the legal aspects of purchasing a property was both exciting and overwhelming. Thankfully, I had the privilege of working with Attorney Mark O'Brien, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his expertise and support throughout the entire process. From the very start, I felt confident knowing that he was handling all the legalities. He kept me informed at every step and was always available to answer any questions I had. Mark went above and beyond to advocate for my interests, ensuring that I was getting a fair deal and protecting me throughout the process. His professionalism, strategic approach, and unwavering support provided me with much-needed peace of mind. I always felt like I had someone on my side who was truly looking out for me and making sure everything was in order. Overall, I highly recommend Attorney Mark O'Brien for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and dedicated attorney. His attention to detail, clear communication, and commitment to ensuring I understood every step of the process made a huge difference. If you're in need of an attorney for your home buying journey, Mark is the one to trust.

Mark O’Brien did an absolutely phenomenal job representing us in a real estate transaction that would have, without a doubt, fallen through in any other circumstance. His guidance, advice, and expertise proved absolutely critical in resolving so many issues that kept springing up throughout the transaction. He helped us navigate communication with an extremely difficult and sparsely responsive seller side. Mark was professional, efficient, and extremely responsive throughout this entire process - he was available to answer all of our worries and questions with extreme clarity and without delay. I can’t express enough how crucial his representation was in helping us close this transaction and secure our home. We’re extremely grateful to Mark, and will definitely be using his services in the future!

Joe Scanlon will never get back to you when you need him. Joe will seem as if he's a great attorney, nice and responsive so that you'll want to use him. But once he gets paid, his service declines about 90%. Think of him as a sleazy car salesman. He will not respond to calls, voicemails or emails. I've left him countless emails and voicemails and get the run around from his secretary every time. It could take weeks to get a response. We hired Joe to negotiate our contract and while negotiating, if Joe sees that it will be a slightly more difficult contract, or the buyer/sellers attorney pushes back on something, good luck getting him to put any more effort into the deal. Joe is one of the least responsive attorneys I've worked with. Not to mention, we felt very disrespected and continuously talked down to while we we're working with him. He projects his frustration onto his clients, which is unacceptable and not to mention, unprofessional. While trying to get ahold of him, he would bring up the amount that we paid, which is the amount he agreed on to negotiate the contract and basically said that the amount isn't worth his time to continue going the extra mile. I gave 2 stars because he at least was able to get the deal done, but i have to say that it was the most miserable and unenjoyable process. He also made us pay more to finish the contract after already having agreed on a price. This was our first home purchase and we we're really hoping that this would be a special and exciting process, but it was so far from that. I would continue looking for a different attorney if i we're you. He does not care about the client and only cares about the paycheck.

I was referred to Joe by my business associates. He is a phenomenal real estate lawyer. Needed additional help regarding the elderly & assets. Those were not specifics that he dealt with. Rather than shut me down. He promised to refer to someone else. Legit called within 5 minutes to give me that new information. He didn’t have to do that. It’s greatly appreciated— Jade

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.

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.
