The Pascoe law firm and his team have unmatched professionalism and are the best and most knowledgeable in the industry. When searching for someone to be in your corner and fight for your legal situation, you want an attorney and team to communicate every step, explain all of the details in advance, and treat your case with utmost priority. He did just that and showed such compassion and answered all of my questions during a very stressful and painful time. He's also backed by years of experience, awards, referrals from other well-respected attorneys, judges, and colleagues, and that speaks volumes. If you want someone who will listen to you, strategize, and give you honest feedback and guidance, look to John Pascoe and his team. If you were my family member-I would want your case in their hands. I highly recommend.

I am truly so thankful for Mr Markowtiz I was pretty worried about going to court last minute by myself, not knowing what I going to say or do. Mr Markowtiz reached out, and really made a huge effort the same day of my court date to find out all the information about my case, and ended up getting it dismissed. I'm very very grateful.

I cant even begin to explain how much samantha has helped me out. I will forever be in debt to her as she helped me get my life back. She worked very diligently and has a strong passion to exceed her clients needs. I had multiple charges that were visible on my record that kept me from getting a decent job and make a decent living. She completely wiped my public record and now It doesnt show anything AND i got one of the best jobs I ever had!!! I just cant thank her enough!! Samantha when you see this just know I am forever grateful!! BEST LAWYER EVER!! A++++ RECOMMENDED!!!

Samantha is a newly licensed attorney and although her prices were lower her work was very high quality. She is working on my non disclosure and she is making the process so easy! She is very knowledgeable and keeps me up to date with everything. I highly recommend her.

Scott Markowitz helped my mom and I out of a legal bind involving traffic tickets, missed court dates and arrest warrants. He was able to get both of us squared away, getting many of the cases dismissed (all 4 cases for my mom, 1/2 for myself). Cities of Pasadena and Hitchcock. Fees are very fair and worth every penny. Highly recommend Markowitz Law Firm.

Great consult and was really helpful in navigating some tricky business. The only downside is Mr. Zapalac wasn’t available for actions or litigations, so we did still have to find another attorney (and pay another consultation fee), but otherwise he was quick and easy to talk to.

I had the pleasure of working with Kelly Forester, and I can confidently say that he is the best attorney I have ever encountered. From the very beginning, Kelly demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and an unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for his clients.
Kelly’s expertise is evident in every aspect of his work. He meticulously analyzed every detail of my case, leaving no stone unturned. His strategic approach, combined with his exceptional negotiation skills, ensured that my interests were always protected. Throughout the entire process, Kelly was not only my legal representative but also a source of support and guidance. He took the time to explain complex legal concepts in a way that I could understand, which gave me immense peace of mind.
The firm as a whole reflects Kelly’s high standards of excellence. From the moment we started, I was treated with the utmost professionalism and respect. The entire team is dedicated, responsive, and always ready to assist. The communication was seamless, and I never felt left in the dark about the status of my case.

My daughter was seriously and unfairly injured and never having dealt with anything like the situation before, I had no clue what steps to take to get compensation for her injuries and medical bills. I contacted Mr. Forester on the advice of a friend and I’m so glad I did because I couldn’t have reached out to a better and more knowledgeable attorney. Throughout this months long process he’s never made me feel rushed or pressured. He explains legal processes in a way that’s easy to understand. Most importantly he showed no hesitation taking on an insurance giant to get my child funds she deserves for what she’s endured.

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.
