I highly recommend them if you are looking for an estate attorney or financial advisor or, as in my case, both. I contacted them based on their reviews and they exceeded our expectations.

Nico Caridi was highly recommended to us by our real estate broker Anthony Gucciardo (who I also highly recommend, he sold our house in 5 days!) to handle the sale of our home. Right out of the gate I was very impressed with Nico. His approach with his clients is top notch in every way. His personable demeanor, self confidance, timely communication, accessability, and attention to detail was right on point. Our closing went off without a hitch, and happened within 3 weeks of selling our home!!! On the day of the closing Nico had all the parties at the table for a timely start, and we finished within 20 minutes due to his swift handling of the paperwork, and top organizational skills. By the way we were Nico's 6th closing of the day, yet you would never have known it. Nico greeted us all with a high energy, smiling face. He took a stressful situation and turned it into an enjoyable one. If you are looking for an attorney that can deliver all of this for you, then Nico's your guy. My husband and I will be using Nico again and we highly recommend him to you. Thanks Nico! It was such a fantastic experience!!!

Mr. Caridi is a outstanding real estate attorney. He has helped several of my clients get into their dream home. He's very professional & is keeps me involved through the entire process. So many times I've dealt with other attorneys and have to constantly calling to find out what is going on. This is not true with Nico. I get cc'd on all correspondences & I could not ask for a better team to work with.
Thank you for making even the toughest of deals seem so easy! I will forever refer my clients to you.

Yes, he actually answers the phone! My past experience with Attorneys, and any professional frankly these days, is that they take your money and then ghost you for weeks. Mark will literally answer his phone in the middle of the night, not a secretary, not an answering service, HIM! He is caring, hard-working and dam good at his job. Don't think twice about hiring him.

I hired Marc several times for traffic cases such as speeding and Driving Without a License and the result was always favorable to me. Recently, I was charged with my third DUI and was facing a possible lifetime license revocation. In this case, Marc won the DMV refusal hearing AND punched so many holes in the prosecutor's case that they had to offer me a non DUI resolution. Marc saved me years of license revocations, interlocks, thousands in fines, court costs, and penalties. Thanks again Marc.

Mark Kokosa was professional, very knowledgeable about criminal law. His prices were very reasonable compared to many other lawyers that wanted to charge three times as much. On my court date Mr. Kokosa was quick on settling a plea deal with the DA and the Judge. I would recommend Mark Kokosa if you're looking for straight forward and personable representation.

Ms. LaChapelle represented me in an IRS audit. She was spectacular and obtained a completely favorable result. In meeting with her and the auditor, it was clear that she knew the law better than they did. This was a very stressful situation and she made me feel comfortable and at ease. She was able to explain very technical concepts in a way that I understood. I cannot recommend Ms. LaChapelle highly enough!

I had a question regarding court appearance for a traffic ticket. I wondered if I needed to retain an attorney. Ms. Olivia Lupolis gave me a rather detailed rundown on what to expected, after hearing my situation. This is the very first time I've faced a situation like this and Olivia has been very nice and generous in her advice, all over the phone without charge. I am very grateful for that. Unlike the very first law firm I called.

Spent years working with Steve and got nowhere. Just invoices. No updates, just excuses. Asks the same questions over and over and gets defensive when pressed for answers. Most questions are ignored.

Steven D Farer has represented me for the past 9 years. I was referred to him by another attorney who was confident in his knowledge of involved real estate litigation. Mr. Farer was in constant communication with me, always keeping me apprised of the status of my case. Mr. Farer has since helped on business transactions, redrafting my commercial leases, handling my corporate issues and filings and more.

I was the seller, and I didn't come to closing (5 hours away). They wanted to charge 200 to wire funds which is absolutely theft of services since the banks charge $20, and then decided they don't and won't do wire transfers anymore. They waited 4 days to put the funds in the overnight envelope provided by my attorney, and they sent my attorney proceeds to me . Now I have the check but it's not certified funds so I need to wait for funds to clear as r.... meanwhile their clients (buyers) have the key to the house the day of closing. The gentlemen in the firm who answered the phone was amazing, but his hands were tied by the people running the show. If I ever have to do business with this firm I will tell buyers they get the key to the house WHEN I GET PAID. Poor business practices.

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.
