I could not have asked for a better attorney. He was always available to answer any and all of my questions timely. Every step along the way, I was kept informed of the progress, promises were maintained, copies of communication were conveyed...I could not have asked for more!
I sincerely appreciate all of the help and professionalism shown by Mr. Baratta.

Hiring Andy is the best decision one can make when hiring an attorney. In truth, Andy's skills extend beyond the law. He is as much an advisor as he is an attorney, and I value his input on just about every matter with which I'm confronted. In short, I can't make any more ringing an endorsement for ANY advisor.

It was a difficult time for my husband and I. We weren't looking for an attorney but following a tragic car accident that left me with a serious traumatic brain injury, Andy was our man. We had known him personally for a few years and trusted him as a friend and felt it would be good to have someone like him on our side. Little did we know, Andy proved to be a great asset during a challenging time. He took care of everything so we could focus on my recovery. Andy checked in frequently and provided a supportive ear to my husband. He worked efficiently and quickly responded to any of our questions, no matter how small. Andy demonstrated a great knowledge for any legal matter and knew what needed to be done in our case.
Because of Andy's hard work, I am still able to work on my recovery despite the effects of my injury. We continue to consult Andy for any legal matters that arise. Andy is the only attorney I want on my side!

I supervise a roofing company in Philadelphia, PA. I have faced a couple common plea complaints which have all be settled or taken care of because of Andy. He personally attends court with me every time and has saved me more then a couple times. He also helps with my real estate as a small time investor I send him over leases and agreement of sales a lot and he responds in a timely manner which is great.

Eric and the rest of the team at Khalikman & Rayz did an excellent job with my case. Communication with Eric was always easy and open. He explained the process to me throughout the case and kept it without all of the legal mumbo jumbo. I was well-informed and happy with everything that occurred. I was not expecting the outcome to be as smooth as it was. I would recommend the firm to anyone facing a legal matter. I will definitely use Eric and his firm for needs in the future.

Professional, cost efficient lawyer that gets to the bottom line for the client. Bills are fair, with no unecessary research or other games played by some attorneys.

I hired Gregg after I saw him in litigation on another case. Expensive but clearly an attorney who is not going to let go until the best result for the client is achieved. Highly recommend Gregg.

It has taken me a few years to write this review. One of the previous reviewers said that Gregg Cotler is the attorney of last resort-well maybe that is true but if you can help it, why wait. I hope people read this review and realize how critical it is to engage the right attorney. Gregg Cotler deserves the highest attorney rating and anyone who is going through even half of what my family experienced, should, without question, retain Mr. Cotler. One or two word platitudes regarding Mr. Cotler simply won't suffice. Mr. Cotler represented my company and my family at a time when everything seemed lost and we were literally running out of any hope. For many years, we ran a small family company. We paid our employees quite well, we treated them as family members, and never in our wildest dreams would we ever have suspected that one of those employees would be responsible for stealing more than a half a million dollars from us and was ultimately responsible for destroying our entire business. We were alerted to the theft by our credit card company but it was Mr. Cotler who figured out what really was going on inside our company. Once he deciphered and disentangled the criminal scheme, he walked our family through the criminal investigation, taking us to the best group of detectives in our county. Then he counseled us through the criminal trial, penalty stage and restitution agreement. He met with the defense counsel, the detectives, and with the judge and, he developed an amazing criminal and civil litigation strategy. On the civil side, he negotiated a settlement with our insurance company and filed suit against the employee for damages. His litigation skills were so sharp that he basically forced the defendant to choose settlement which included the sale of her personal home. His overall strategy and plan for helping my family was nothing short of miraculous. Where most attorneys would have only been peripherally involved in the criminal case, Mr. Cotler orchestrated the best possible resolution for our family. It is my understanding that in most cases involving embezzlement by an employee, that employee either receives a jail sentence and then probation or just probation. Although restitution may be ordered in many cases, the enforcement of those payments is almost non-existent. In our case, the former employee actually received 21 years house arrest which was primarily based upon the monthly calculation to repay our family. It was such an original and novel plan that it instantly received national attention and we were contacted by both the television and newspaper press.
I have read some of the reviews previously written about Mr. Cotler and I hope that I can add some helpful and significant information. If you are looking for an attorney who can review and write contracts or negotiate business deals, you certainly can hire Mr. Cotler. However, you probably could find a fair number of attorneys in your community who could handle general business matters for less money. Mr. Cotler is fair minded when it comes to hourly billing but he is not the least expensive attorney around. No, the most important thing that I could say about Mr. Cotler is the fact that he is one of a kind and if you are looking for an attorney to help solve complex and serious problems, he gets my highest recommendation. He has that very rare quality of being a great listener combined with the highest level critical thinker and possesses a unique analytical mind, the empathy of a saint and has a seemingly endless energy reserve. He is an incredible litigator and he can out-work a team of big firm lawyers. If you can afford his services by all means hire him before the other side does.

Gregg has represented me for about three years in a matter that has required extensive and detailed knowledge in a variety of business areas. He has competently provided the appropriate case law and citations to document the powerful arguments he has offered on my behalf. He has used logic and understanding in presenting his arguments. Most important, he has provided me with support and security by assuring me that he would not abandon me during this difficult and time consuming ordeal.

I contacted Mr. Howland regarding a landlord tenant issue (In this case I was the tenant). He gave me basic information to determine how and if it was worth pursuing. The short version, our landlord told us varying information on several occasions in regards to the condition of the apartment after our departure. After 1.5 months we still had no resolution, only a check for a half month's rent, sent after 30 days that he called to tell us he would need to stop payment on due to some more damage he was uncertain about.
Our main concern being that the landlord was beginning to tack on items like carpet and such and I was becoming very uncomfortable with the direction of the conversations, and informed the landlord of that. After almost two weeks of no response my partner said enough is enough we need to end this.
Mr. Howland walked us through the process, reviewed all of our paperwork, advised us of how the process would typically work and began handling it for us. He took the time to listen and understand our concern, and what the best way to proceed was.
Mr. Howland drafted a letter outlining the situation which resulted in a very quick, but not adequate response from the landlord. Mr. Howland followed up immediately on the original letter, modifying and reenforcing what was stated in the initial letter.
About 15 days of working with Mr. Howland resulted in our issue being resolved, and done so in our favor.
Should the need arise in the future to work with an attorney, Mr. Howland will without doubt be my first call.

I cannot speak highly enough of Voloshen Law Firm P.C. and their outstanding team! My experience with them while preparing for my USCIS interview for petition N-400 and i-751was simply exceptional.
From the moment I reached out to them, I was met with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my case. Igor Voloshen, the attorney, went above and beyond by personally coming to Chicago to be present at my interview. His dedication and commitment to ensuring my success were truly remarkable.
Also, I am very thankful to Liliia, whose attention to detail, strategic guidance, and thorough preparation with documents were crucial in my interview readiness.

Paid $2500 retainer, gave him very personal information, and he's done nothing for me for months.
When I ended his service and asked for the return of the retainer, he stalled and for months has not returned my money.
I am filing complaints with the PA Attorney General, PA Bar Assoc., and other governmental services.

I have been working with Alex for about 3 years now. He is very thorough and diligent. He has worked out a few deals for me on separate occasion and is always available. That is important. He gets tough when he needs to. He is also human. He has a great personality and we’ve even had a few laughs. I have often said to him we could be friends. That’s a good feeling. Unlike a lot of stuffy attorneys who get tired of the work they may like to call monotonous, but is always important to the client.

Paid retainer by taking out a bank loan, as we did not have that much money in savings. She wrote a single one page letter on our behalf, which we had to edit for her. We decided not to take the civil matter any further and requested a copy of the billable hours on August 23, 2019 and a refund for our remaining balance. It is now September 26, 2019 and we have not gotten a response to the 4 emails and phone message we have sent her.

I really liked Leslie on a personal level. We hiredanother lawyer for a criminal case and he brought her in to consult as he was not experienced enough to handle it. She really knew her stuff and showed much compassion. We were supposed to have another hearing within a month of going to court and it was never scheduled. I repeatedly asked her what the status was and if I got a response at all she would say "I'll see what I can do to speed up a date." and nearly a year later we finally got her to have the court schedule it after going back to our original lawyer who had to contact her twice. I would not have hired her again for custody due to this but she was very good. I also looked up the docket sheet myself and saw that the court had scheduled this hearing for 2015, 2 years after it was supposed to be scheduled. I assumed this is what took so long and that it was not her not doing the job. I figured she was having trouble with the courts bc the hearing was scheduled and no one could find it. So, my husband and I hired her agin to handle child custody. I asked her she would be able to file papers the first week in Dece,bet and she said yes. The case took an unsurprising turn and so we waited 3 weeks to make a decision on what to do. We needed to add a lot more detail to our filing and decide if we wanted to go that route. We did and she was to file the papers the week of Christmas. Never happened. I did not hear from her from the day we returned the papers to her that week u til January 23. The response Ito was that she had some health problems and was down for a little while and she would see what she could do about a date. I knew then and there that she never filed the papers because if she had we would have gotten a letter in the mail from the court with the date. I have contacted her weekly since that day in January and gotten no response. NONE. I finally asked for a refund for the deposit we gave her and haven't heard back on that either. Surprise, surprise. She really messed up this case for my husband bc we needed to act on something his daughter's mother was doing immediately. She totally dropped the ball. If you can get her to respond to you though, kudos bc she really does know her stuff. What good is that though if she doesn't do the work you hire her to do?

Leslie was great. I had a DUI case and she was really able to help me out. She kept me very informed on what was going to happen and kept my mind at ease during the stressful time. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer I would recommend her to everyone I know if they had legal issues.

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 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?

- 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.
