Mr. Pomerantz was an incredibly patient and persistent attorney for me and my case. He always took the time to listen to my concerns, and never pressured me to make a decision I was not comfortable with. When I chose to go to trial for my case, he stood by my side and did his job to the best of his ability. He researched in depth the city ordinances that would support my case and disqualify my plaintiff's case. Mr. Pomerantz maintained professional and courteous to myself and family throughout the whole case process. Mr. Pomerantz and his legal time worked tirelessly for my case, and together, we received the best outcome possible for the case. I would recommend Mr. Pomerantz to anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable attorney.

Andrew Pomerantz and team were amazing from the beginning to the end. We had a tough mold case against our landlord. We lived on the west coast and the landlord lived in the east coast and moved while we were trying to serve him. It took a long time to track him down but Andrew was able to.
Because our landlord wasn’t a nice person he fought and stretched the case out over 4 years. At one point the landlord claimed the problems with the house weren’t his responsibility because he didn’t live in the state! Though Andrew never wavered and continued on the plan he had set out on from the get go.
Every call my wife and I had with Andrew was very pleasant. Andrew always started off making sure the kids, and my wife and I were healthy and in good shape. He answered every question, explained everything in detail, and was never in a rush to get off of the phone with us.
In the end Andrew was able to get the landlord to settle with us instead of a long and expensive court trial, that we did not want to do. I highly recommend Mr. Pomerantz and will do so to anyone that is in need of an attorney… and this is coming from someone whose dad was a Judge, cousin was the district attorney for Sacramento, and uncle the captain of the Oakland police.

After consulting and working with several other lawyers with other firms, I didn’t feel that anyone was really listening to my case. I requested that Andrew Pomerantz take my case and without hesitancy, he accepted to help me out. Having difficult tenants and not knowledgeable in property management made me feel helpless and lost. Andrew and his team helped me focus. We (landlords) wanted our house back so that we can live in it. To have a house to live in was the bottom line. Andrew’s office processed all of my documents and served my tenants. They walked me through the entire process and gave me updates as soon as they had them. I had a lot of questions and the turn around of emails was about 5 minutes. During business hours, there was always someone to answer my phone calls. Andrew’s team answered all my questions and put me at ease each and every time. I was nervous to appear in court and had to appear on several days, but Andrew was always there to communicate for me. Andrew always kept his professionalism and remained calm and patient with me as well as the tenant and their attorney throughout negotiations. He gave us new perspective.
Thank you Andrew for all the support and guidance you provided for me and my family. You have a genuine soul. We are forever grateful for your help. We wish you fulfillment and continued success in everything.

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.

- 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.

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.

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 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.
