WE WERE LUCKY WHEN HOLLYN FOSTER STARTED TO WORK FOR US AS AN ATTORNEY employed by the law firm handling the estate of a beloved family member. Hollyn J. Foster is an experienced, wise and effective advocate. Difficult as it was, we needed to follow the will and settle things as written.
Hollyn IS A PATIENT AND HUMBLE PERSON WHO LISTENS. She makes you feel at ease and confident in her abilities. She knows her job is to help her clients do what is necessary because She CARES ABOUT the PEOPLE involved in the case. For our family situation, Hollyn was impressive as an advocate and forthright as a legal advisor. From day one, Ms. Foster was friendly, efficient, patient, organized, and focused on taking the right actions at the right time.
Ms. Foster used her legal education along with years of paralegal expertise to keep all concerned moving forward on the right track so that we could reach our destination.
KEY ADVANTAGES OF HIRING HOLLYN FOSTER:
We worked with Hollyn Foster for nearly two years to distribute items and educate the heirs about the estate settlement process. About nine months after we met her, Global Pandemic spread across the U.S. Hollyn quickly adapted and handled the virtual courtroom and delayed hearings as if it were a natural ritual.
Hollyn’s MASTERY OF TECHNOLOGY enabled us to move forward with the case at hand. We were working full-time, managing quarantine issues and still grieving. She worked hard to address the challenges of a large family whose members live in three different time zones. She almost seemed to be some sort of procedural wizard. She considered the best course to take, discussed the strategy with her clients. If approved, she prepared documents, handled filings and garnered the respect of other attorneys involved in the case.
Hollyn HAS SKILLS AND WISDOM TO ASSESS CHANNGING SITUATIONS AND RESPOND AS NEEDED. She was a fearless guide for us and encouraged all concerned to proceed with decency. This may not seem important when you are involved with the legal system, but you definitely need THE RIGHT ADVOCATE WHEN YOU NEED LEGAL COUNSEL. When you are in the midst of the storm, you need an advocate who gained experience on the boat and then became a master at the wheel.

I cannot recommend Hollyn and her paralegal, McKenzie, enough! The service was OUTSTANDING! Hollyn met with us in person initially, and made what could have been SUPER complicated situation, with transferring my deceased sister’s trust almost effortless. And I really appreciated that the very reasonable expense to help us with all of the filings and papers was done as a flat fee. There were no surprises or hidden costs! Because of this, I was not stressed about the MANY emails I sent asking for help and clarification on how to do things, as this was the first time I was the executor for a trust.
And there responses were so quick; I always got an answer immediately. I even called in a panic when I was at the bank (getting my Medallion Signature Guarantees) and they took my call and patiently talked me through everything. What amazing and caring client service to get in this day and age when other law firms bill for every ten minutes!
And Hollyn explained EVERYTHING in plain terms that I could understand. She is SO knowledgeable about all of the details of estates. I am thankful that my sister chose Hollyn before she died so that we would have a trusted firm to help us take care of this. And I am grateful that even with a pandemic we had all of Hollyn’s expert advice and experience to help us resolve this estate. Do not hesitate to use her and her team to help you!

I am so grateful for Hollyn Foster. I went to Bowers and Associates, because my family had gotten help from them in 2015, when my Mom needed to admitted to a nursing home, and they provided excellent service to help set up a Qualified Income Trust. This past December (2019), I went to see Hollyn Foster for help with my sister-in-law's estate. Since that first meeting, and continuing now, she has provided me with advice and direction, solved problems, answered every email right away and kept me informed of the progress of the Estate. No matter what complicated matter arose, regarding the letters of administration, will, house, belongings, savings bonds, 401K, life insurance policy, unclaimed accounts, vehicle- she was able to help with it or direct me as to what my options were( Paralegal McKenzie Ford has also assisted on some of these issues).
I strongly recommend Hollyn Foster's services to everyone - she is so smart, passionate, and compassionate, and knows how to get results.

Zach Tucker provided me with excellent legal representation and put his superior knowledge of the Defense Base Act on full display throughout the course of my case. Mr. Tucker is a real professional, and he made all legal matters a walk in the park for me. Zach Tucker and his staff provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention to all details of my DBA case. Zach's attitude toward my case was unbelievable. Zach also helped me avoid potential traps that could be set by the employer and insurance company. Zach knows them all, will foresee them, and he is experienced enough to prevent them. He will provide you with the right advice on time, before you make your decision or find yourself in a bad situation. If you've been injured on the job offshore, overseas etc., I suggest immediately contacting Zach Tucker at Rudolph, Israel, Tucker, & Ellis (RITE law). You will not regret it!

I told David I needed something in place in the event of my death regarding my personal household, business and child. He knew exactly what I needed - nothing more, nothing less which was a Last Will, Living Will and Preneed Guardianship. His level of sincerity, honesty and professionalism was beyond what I expected from an attorney as I have never worked with one before. His level of exertise is superior and I highly recommend him!!!

Mr. Grigaltchik is well educated and understands the law at a very advanced level. I have learned to trust him over the years and will vouch for his excellence.

Attorney Khawaja represented me in my recent bankruptcy case. The entire process was very fast because Mr. Khawaja was very knowledgeable about the bankruptcy laws. He explained the process, the forms that needed to be completed and provided a detail description of all the supporting documentation I would need to complete the process. He always responded to my questions quickly and with great patience. I have worked with attorneys in the past and Mr. Khawaja is one of the very best I have dealt with.

Bankruptcy Attorney, Mr. Rehan Khawaja and his Legal Assistant, Mr. John Walker are professionals who I highly recommend in helping with your legal concerns. Mr. Khawaja from day one of my initial consultation was so very understanding, professional and brilliant at knowing how to help me. He really put me at ease with my situation since I was unsure how most of the process worked. Anytime I needed to speak with Mr. Khawaja, he was immediately available and always willing to explain in detail what I did not understand. What I realized about working with this attorney is that he is extremely proficient in every part of what he does. He did not waste time on any matter and is completely brilliant in his field understanding how the law works. For my 341 meeting, I was completely confident knowing he was there to help represent me. When I noticed other people in the meeting with different lawyers I knew immediately I had chosen the right person as Mr. Khawaja is always highly professional in both appearance and attitude. He is a highly qualified lawyer and I am so THANKFUL he has been able to help me lift the burden of debt from my shoulders so I can breathe. Thank you so very much for all of your help and time!!! I couldn’t believe when I received a letter in the mail stating my bankruptcy was discharged. I had been contemplating bankruptcy for most of my adult life and was always told by others how hard it was to do and how it would not work or be good. I was so nervous and concerned going into this, but Mr. Khawaja made it seem so easy and simple. I am truly amazed by how excellent a lawyer he is. In addition, his legal assistant, Mr. Walker is so knowledgeable, helpful, kind and together these two are the experience you need in order to get through a bankruptcy.

Rehan was a real person helping me to navigate a very difficult legal case, due to another lawyer's shoddy work. He took my case in the most difficult time. He saved my life from going to jail because of misunderstanding that occurred in the initial BK process. He helped to restructure my debt with a Ch. 13 100% repayment plan. He recently helped me an my husband to gain permission from the trustee to purchase our first home. I am so grateful for Mr. Khawaja's ability to turn my life around with his hard work. He provides honesty and demonstrates a great proficiency for his work. Anyone in the Florida area should work with Rehan, he is the absolute best bankruptcy lawyer out there. He will treat you like a real person!

Paul and Harry Shorstein helped me through a very difficult case pertaining to a Dui. I had been sleep driving due to a bad reaction to my sleep meds. Although this was a very unique case without much precedence they handled it very effectually They were able to have the DUI dropped to just Reckless driving with no guilty plea or conviction. The judge I had was one of the toughest in Florida so I was blessed to have Paul and Harry Shorstein in my "corner" . Paul and Harry treat you as if you were their only client. They respond to your questions quickly and completely. Their character, knowledge ,experience and attention to detail is second to none! You will not find a better team out there.

Mr. Perry and his staff handled a probate case for me. As you can imagine, these cases are hard anyway. However, they truly cared for me as a person, as well as conducted themselves professionally, deftly handling my case like I believe none others could have. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I can't express in words the overwhelmingly positive experience I had working with Mr. Perry. His expertise and professional network led to a favorable outcome in a Homestead Exemption property tax case with the City of Jacksonville. As a member of the military living out-of-state, he not only put my mind at ease but resolved my case such that I never had to physically appear in court. His staff is friendly and efficient, as well.

A my old law firm Dwayne worked for me doing marine work as well as other trial work. When he moved to Jacksonville I continued to work with Dwayne as local counsel and to refer local Jacksonville work. He is well respected by the judges and lawyers in Jacksonville. He is gets the work done on time and in a manner that gets the best result for the client at a reasonable cost. Knows many people in the marine field in Jacksonville when we need to consult with outside experts. I have always found Dwayne to be on top of new developments in the marine law and a pleasure to work with.

After a career ending OJI, My Jason Ellis represented me and went above and beyond on my case. Mr Ellis along with his Super Paralegal Dee always kept me informed and updated on what was going on with my case. Very quick to respond to E Mails and phone calls for even the simplest worries! Even though he faced a large company filled with their attorneys, He never showed a lack of confidence. He will be my first call if I'm ever in need again! Go Gators!

My wife and I have retained JASON ELLIS to represent us on two separate occasions. My wife was involved in an auto accident in which an out of town driver was at fault. Though both drivers were insured, the other driver's (who was cited) insurance company declined the claim. After we exhausted all attempts to resolve this, we were referred to Mr. Ellis by a close friend who had previously retained his services with excellent results.
Mr. Ellis worked hard on my wife's behalf and we were able to obtain a settlement that exceeded our expectations.
Last year I was injured by careless construction workers who effecting repairs on a condo that adjoins ours. My injuries required surgery and an extended period of PT. I also sustained a permanent injury that will require longterm attention. I retained Mr. Ellis, and this case is in the final stages of a settlement that I am more then pleased with.
Mr. Ellis is loyal and exhibits a personal interest in his clients' wellbeing that far exceeds the perceived industry standards.
We would BOTH recommend "Jason" to anyone seeking a hard driving professional that will go above and beyond to insure that his clint(s) are represented to the fullest extent of the law...

We hired Mr Whitney from AndersonGlenn LLC to represent us and our Special Needs daughter who was forcibly masked by tying it on with a nylon cord. His passion for the vulnerable was very moving for us as parents. He believed in us, our cause of action and fought hard for our family to receive justice.

I had bad problems with my restaurant manager because he was too soft in its ways to screw employees and it happened thefts, cleaning done wrong, hours counted or improperly counted too, documents not filed in due time, fines, etc. . a real mess. I appealed to Mr. Francis M. Boyer who advised me, put the director on the right path, ask me to close the restaurant for two days to clean all up, what i did. He is a great guy and a very good lawyer. I recommend him eyes closed. Now, my director took the control of the restaurant with more confidence, employees are ok, all is in its due place, invoices are paid in time, documents filled in due time too because Mr Boyer have a look on it. My restaurant runs right and i enjoy it.

Mr. Stiefel represented me in an intricate and complex lawsuit. When he drafted the complaint, he strategically added the phrase "quantum meruit".

This man is a remarkable lawyer. I have 25 years of litigation practice under my belt myself and I have had the opportunity to watch Mr. Stiefel handle - first hand - several cases that were very complicated and contested on all issues. I think his skills and the results he achieves are extraordinary. In one case, he handled, the recovery resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorney's fees. In another one, I saw him craft a legal argument out of something that I never would have thought to expand on. It is a whole new approach to the practice of law. His level of competence is far beyond that of most lawyers I know. He offers his clients immediate attention and knows his way around the courthouse. I would trust him with my most important matters because he is definitely a cut above the rest.

I've used Omar for a couple of things and been very happy with his service. He's great about communicating, which not all lawyers are. His fees are reasonable, given the cost of legal issues these days. He gives things to you straight, but lets you make your own decision after laying out all the facts. I like his common sense approach. His ego doesn't get in the way. I like his ethics. I like his honesty. I've recommended him to my friends. He's got a grasp of what ordinary people are up against, instead of being insulated from the real world.

I was recommended to Michael Freed from another attorney in Jacksonville Florida. I am going through a tough and complicated litigation processes with my partner in a NYC company I own. Michael has a very easy way about him and has the canning ability to sift through the complicated matters. His response rate is one I have never experienced in all my years with attorneys. He has answered all my questions within hours! This is defiantly something you do not get from attorneys.The best part about Michael is that he is always keeping cost in mind. I like to say, Michael is a business man who practices law and litigation very well. He is an entrepreneur’s best friend.

I had a fairly complex issue having to do with an employement agreement, stock sales and potential ERISA violations and Scott was able to handle all issues very well. Scott is an excellent attorney. He did a great job pushing the settlement and his experience showed during the process. Not having a lot of experience with lawyers and dealing with personal issues I was very pleased to have Scott on my team. His entire office staff is polite, attentive and make you feel important.

Ive used Michael on many matters and I cannot tell you enough how much I respect this man.
Having used many lawyers over the last 28 years, its hard to find a lawyer who will dive in and know every intimate detail of your case and articulate it in a way that not only you understand but also drives straight to the point being respectful of your money, time and important matter.....when you hire a lawyer, its usually because its the most important thing to you at the moment....make the money and time count.....

The thought of dealing with a lawsuit was daunting, especially for a small business owner like myself. I knew I wasn’t in the wrong, but I was unfamiliar with the legal system and how to go about dealing with the situation. When I spoke with James Pearce, he was professional and knowledgeable, and he walked me through the actions we would take. He was timely with all of his responses and he stayed on top of everything throughout the entire process. I could not have asked for better service, and I would absolutely hire him again.

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.

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.
