I wholeheartedly recommend Philip and his team for any Landlord Tenant dispute. Most recently Philip represented me in a case where I accidently became a landlord for a home I purchased with existing tenant who did not vacate before closing. From the efficient serving of the notice to quit tenancy via a peace officer, planning, timing and negotiation Philip was most knowledgeable of the Massachusetts legal pitfalls and provided excellent and timely counsel. Ultimately the tenant vacated and the matter was settled ahead of court date moving out in an acceptable timeframe. Thank you Philip and team for getting me out of this pickle.

Working with Mr. Gonzalez was excellent! I had a short time to get a very tricky situation taken care of with my business, he offered excellent advice, and got the right documentation filed with the authorities in no-time protecting my business and closing a dangerous liability, also, he was always responsive and available to help me out. I highly recommend Gonzalez Legal.

I have worked with Emmanuel on multiple immigration cases and I have never seen a lawyer pay more attention to detail than him. He has helped the people in my clinic and has been able to assist me on a multitude of legal matters in regards to my business. One of the few lawyers I know who isn't going to lie to you. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Thomas Mason for your legal needs. He represented me in a matter in court and I won. He was very reassuring and explained things to me in detail. He put me at ease. Then I won my case. I am very happy and wanted to let others know his fee was very reasonable and he was very thorough. He is my lawyer now for a few other legal needs I have to attend to. Sincerely, Beth Wathika.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Tom Mason was in handling my will, from our first conversation to the final draft. He is so professional, knowledgeable, honest, friendly and caring. He is a really nice person who charged me a very fair and reasonable price. He comes to your house to make you feel as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend Tom for all your legal needs. If you are ever in need of a great lawyer, call Tom Mason.

My wife and I were moving from Massachusetts to Missouri, and we wanted to redo our wills and put our house in a trust before we moved. We contacted Tom a couple of weeks before our move, and he got it all done for us with time to spare. He made the process very easy for us, coming to our house to meet with us and then bringing the documents to us for signatures. One thing we appreciated about Tom was the fact that we never felt like he was talking above us. Tom is a regular guy who happens to be an attorney. That's being said in the most complimentary way possible. It was very refreshing. We will definitely be contacting Tom again the next time we need legal advice in Massachusetts. Thanks for your help, Tom!

Mr. Connors represented myself and my roommates in a long and arduous journey in an attempt to just get our security deposit back from our landlord. Mr. Connors’ deep understanding of Massachusetts Law and tenant rights helped us have justice, and I would recommend him to anyone in the Boston area who needs representation against landlord exploitation.

Our office recently had an extremely disappointing experience with the law office of Bradley Moore Primason Cuffe & Weber LLP. As a real estate brokerage that does on average 100 transactions a year, we typically enjoy very positive experiences working with attorneys on both sides of the transactions. Unfortunately, our expectations for a professional and reliable service were far from met working with Attorney James Moore. In 20+ years of practicing real estate and collaborating with hundreds of closing attorney's, we have never encountered any closing attorney who refused to add legitimate Seller Expenses, which are reimbursable to their Real Estate Brokerage, on the closing settlement statement . In a recent transaction working with Attorney Moore, despite our providing an expense reimbursement request well in advance of the closing, Attorney Moore’s office failed to acknowledge our request, did not put the reimbursement on the closing documents, and refused to address the issue afterwards. Given the critical nature of real estate transactions, it is essential to work with attorneys who exhibit both courtesy and professionalism. Unfortunately, this was not our experience with Bradley Moore Primason Cuffe & Weber LLP and feel compelled to warn others of this experience. P.S. We were the listing brokerage in which Bradley Moore Primason Cuffe & Weber LLP was the closing office for a sale of a property in Jamaica Plain on April 19, 2024. We have direct correspondence with this office and the closing docs to prove it.

"Attorney Eddy Staco guided me seamlessly through my green card application process. He meticulously outlined each step, clarified the necessary forms, and transparently communicated associated fees. Upon mutual agreement, he efficiently assisted in form completion, ensuring accuracy, and promptly submitted them on my behalf. Thanks to his expertise, I received my Employment Authorization Document (EAD) in record time. Now, eagerly anticipating my green card interview appointment, scheduled within an estimated five months according to the USCIS website. I am incredibly grateful for Attorney Eddy Staco's integrity and exceptional service, which have made me a satisfied client."

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.
