Mr. Jafari has represented my company and me personally on several occasions. He knows exactly how to communicate to me so I don't get lost in legal terms or procedures. I give him a case and tell him what I want and he gave me a reasonable estimate of his fees. He did his best to and stayed within each budget provided. Mr. Jafari has delivered 100% for me in all cases. I know I am in good hands with him.

Mr. Jamshidi from Sion and Associates represented our company in a personal injury claim recently and did a great job. He appeared very capable and did a thorough job in gathering and presenting the facts of our case. After an employee had filed a claim against us for an ACL injury, Mr. Jamshidi and his team were able to find and acquire video evidence that helped rid us of any fault. Mr. Jamshidi kept our company informed throughout the length of the case and was always very easy to reach if any questions came up. I would definitely recommend Mr. Jamshidi and his team at Sion and Associates for any personal injury or industrial injury claims.

David represents policyholders who need to sue their insurance companies to get coverage for their losses. I met him at a few Litigation Counsel of America (LCA) conferences where he is especially highly regarded by leading trial lawyers for his knowledge and technical skills. He's a skilled fighter who cares deeply about his clients and successfully battles big insurance companies every day, coast-to-coast. If you're in a tough dispute with your insurer, I'd recommend David highly.

Brian Grossman represented me on a contract dispute. The company I worked for as a 1099 contractor breached the contract and refused to pay over 150K due in commissions. Brian Grossman is brilliant, efficient, fair on billing, and writes briefs, motions, and legal content to judges and adversaries in a highly effective succinct manner yielding the greatest results. I recommend him highly to anyone seeking to win their case.

I consider him to be a very trustworthy attorney who always does excellent work on the highest level.

I am a corporate lawyer with a mostly corporate clientele and when an important client came to me asking for a recommendation for a reliable and trustworthy personal injury attorney, I really had to think twice because although I know many PI attorneys, I can't say I would necessarily recommend them to an important client. I met Mr. Lensky at a conference, and I immediately got a good feeling about him, so I decided to refer my client to him. In hindsight, it was a bit risky since I didn't know him personally, and since I was basically entrusting an important client relationship to him. My gut feeling proved right. A few months later, my client called to thank me for referring him to Mr. Lensky. Mr. Lensky was not only highly competent and highly knowledgeable in PI, but he was also professional, very responsive, and a very compassionate person. It's hard to find a lawyer who is that good and also a good person, but Mr. Lensky is the real deal. Since that initial case, I have referred several other clients and friends to Mr. Lensky and all have consistently raved about how great he is. He gets fast, effective results, he keeps in constant communication with his clients, and he treats everyone with respect. He is now at the top of my recommendation list.

Over the past 4 years, I have worked with David Sunkin on a number of M&A related transactions, in addition to working with him on a variety of general corporate matters. Time and again, David's work product in particular, and working with him in general, has proven to me that it's far better to engage counsel early and often in order to maximize the value of your proposition or transaction, and to mitigate risk. David has a personality and working style that is very professional, responsive and informative. He is very thorough, gets to the heart of the matter quickly, and helps you think wisely about your options. While working with David, my own professional well being has been enhanced and I am absolutely certain this is true for all his other clients. After assessing matters and results at the end of each engagement, I find that great counsel pays for itself time and time again. David Sunkin is amongst the best and I will continue to use his services. I strongly recommend you call him to work on your matters.

Was impressed with the reviews until I walked in and realized this location has many law firms. Google the address and you'll see several lawyers use this location. Talked with someone there who said this is a law membership service location shared with many lawyers. Interested in an established law firm not pretending to have a downtown location. Started investigating and realized many of these reviews have only left one review with no profiles which looks pretty sus! Don't appreciate the waste of time. Update to response: I called so not sure why you don't have record of my info, perhaps due to not having a physical location of working admins there.

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
