This review is specifically for Rossiel Marquez! Rossiel is the front desk lady at the office and one of the most responsive, sincere and humblest person I have spoken. She is very considerate of client's situation and takes effort in helping them. I have never been disappointed in case I had reached out to Rossiel for help. Thank you very much!

We are very pleased to have engaged Nicole Livingston and Council Baradel to complete our estate planning. Nicole and her team helped us through the process efficiently and caringly. All our concerns were answered, and they ensured all areas were covered, several of which we would not have otherwise known to address. We have since recommended Nicole to friends, who have told us how pleased they also were with the services provided. We would strongly recommend anyone in need of estate planning services to contact Nicole.

I contacted Julie not sure as to whether I needed to set up a will or a trust. I had many questions. Julie was very patient and answered all of my questions. She explained that setting up a trust would be much more expensive and would not be necessary for my situation. She drew up the will, an advanced directive and a financial power of attorney for me, and I could not be more pleased. I found her to be knowledgeable, efficient and very down to earth. I recommend her to anyone needing estate services

Attorney Chester has been referred to me by the online Montgomery Bar Association Referral Service. NO THE PHONE REFERRAL SERVICE, I have to underline that because they are incredible and do they best to assist. Back to Mr.Chester! I contacted him for a Condo Association dispute. first thing on the phone, He asked me what is the management company, I told him and he answered: " the company is owned by a good friend of his". Without being an attorney I spotted a conflict of interest right at the beginning of the conversation and the end of the conversation attests it and the lack of objectivity of this attorney. He found normal for a management company to hold a storage key of an owner for 2 years, He found normal a management company don't have and hold accurate and update paperwork. That management provide a 1989 ( 35 YEARS OLD) contract to be applied on a newly owned property of 2020. and so on. I definitely DO NOT recommend this attorney. He doesn't go to court to represent you or the law he studied!! This attorney response to the review show you should not even think going there. YOU ALL READING THIS REVIEW ARE NOT FIRM CLIENT & LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT FIRM

I spent quite a bit of time looking for a good lawyer with his specialties and once I learned about his experience and capabilities, I knew that I would not be satisfied if any other lawyer were to take on my case. I am pleased to say that he accepted my case after our initial consultation phone call. Morris knew exactly what was needed to win my case. Shortly after we submitted a specific statement that Morris told me to get, the agency signed a settlement agreement with me, in my favor. I would also add that Morris exceeded the amount of legal work performed compared to the fees for my case. I highly recommend Morris and will be returning to him if I need legal assistance.

But something inside me which I know it’s the voice of God saying , Girl ,don’t loose hope . I kept her and her team especially Franklin who I speak directly to with any questions and I get answered right away. I said to myself she’s a family lawyer and also who deal with immigration issues , I would have to keep her and her comes the surprise Franklin called me with the Good News Your case had been approved and Congratulations. I screamed so hard saying , Thank You lord. He also said , this is the most difficult case they have ever dealt with and never heard before and I told him the same I also did not understand what was going on with my case . I’ll always say , God knows why certain things happen. Thank you Lawyer Bangudi and your Team especially Franklin who so helpful . I will recommend Family and Friends to you .

After suffering an unfortunate car accident in January 2021, I ended up having to need a lawyer to help my case. I originally started out with another law firm, whom I shall not name, but I will say that, had it not been for Greenberg Law, I don't think I would have ANY peace of mind or any satisfaction with my accident case. Although my case lasted only a year, it was mentally, physically, and emotionally, a rollercoaster for me. Greenberg Law picked up the broken pieces and was able to give me another fresh start. This was my first accident where I needed a lawyer and I don't think I could have chosen a better law firm. Having the pleasure of working with Matthew Rogers, who was the attorney that handled my case, and Michelle Christian, who was the paralegal assigned, I was nothing but happy. I also had the liberty of meeting Michele Greenberg, whom is the office manager at Greenberg Law. Everyone was clear, transparent, honest, and understanding. I would like to thank EVERYONE at Greenberg Law, and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who needs their cases solved right.

On September 16, 2017, I was involved in a serious accident when I was knocked off of my bicycle by a tram which then ran over my leg. I was flown to Shock Trauma where I remained for one and a half months. In talking with other lawyers who did not want to take the case, I was referred to Mr. Larry Greenburg. He was very honest and from the beginning he told me it was going to be a difficult case to win because of Maryland’s Contributory Negligence Law. However, he and his team worked tirelessly from the beginning and guided me step by step to get the best outcome. His legal skill was impressive, but just as important was that he was supportive and truly cared about me. Mr. Greenburg was a calming and confident presence throughout the entire process, which lasted five years due to COVID. His firm is family oriented, and they were all involved in the case. Everyone involved was equally competent and professional and I always felt they would do everything they could to get to get the best result for me. Mr. Greenberg deposed many people for the case, and I was truly impressed with how thoroughly prepared and competent he was. After that I was confident that the outcome would be just and fair, which it was. Lastly, I would highly recommend the Greenburg Law Firm to anyone looking for a lawyer. They invest in their clients and are thorough in their work, going above and beyond to ensure a favorable resolution. Larry Greenberg was not only an amazing lawyer, he also became my friend.

Where do I start? We were lucky to be referred to Mr. Darrow when we thought our case had little hope of being favorably resolved. Being from out of state (Illinois), we were worried that our case would be taken with a grain of salt. Not Mr. Darrow. He was detailed, fierce, intense and honest with us from the beginning. When we finally were able to meet with him in person, he was courteous, respectful and really good at breaking things down into Lamen's Terms for us. I sat in the courtroom watching him fight for us and was speechless. I can't say enough amazing things about this man and his ability to fight for the "little guy". Thank you so much Mr. Darrow for helping us win an EXTREMELY challenging case. It was an honor to have him work for us and we are so eternally grateful to be able to sleep at night. MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE HIM!! He is the type of litigator who will fight till the end and find justice for all!

When I was served with a temporary restraining orders from my wife, kids and residence on a Sunday morning, my world flipped upside down. I never had domestic issues before so I was scared beyond belief. Thank the moon and stars for Natasha! She got back to me on a Sunday, calmed me down and said she would be at court the following day at 8a. OMG the relief! The next morning the hearing was heard. Natasha's task was very very hard. The evidentiary standard for me to be removed from my home was very low. The judge made this clear to us all. The judge then asked if I would just consent. The amount of stress I felt was crazy. Low bar did not sound good at all. We proceed to trial and it was exactly what you never want to see and hear. A so called loved one spewing lies under oath and "fishing" for anything they can find to meet a "low bar". The expedition went back 10 years in time, things me and Natasha never had a chance to discuss as it was never mentioned in this complaint. Natasha did not fret at all during the hearing. Natasha tore my ex up pretty badly on cross. To the point of reminding her about perjury. My ex's lawyer was forced into speaking mostly after that point and Natasha shut that down. The judge had seen enough of the act. The order was struck down and I was able to return to my home where I have lived since Natasha's win for me that day in court July 2019. Most guys don't get past this point. Once your out the house, the narrative changes, especially with kids involved. Along with this restraining order, my ex charged me with criminal charges as well. After a quick discussion with the prosecutor, Natasha had the state drop these frivolous charges before the judge even took the bench. Our defense was based on the previous testimony. Natasha's cross examination was that strong. Natasha takes abuse of the system very seriously. She knows her criminal law and she knows how it is abused. She is a blessing for me and my family. I recommend her very highly and cannot thank her enough for what she has done for me and my family.

Bill Galkin has a wealth of knowledge on Internet law. I feel very fortunate to have found Bill and highly recommend him. He’s efficient in time and cost, honest, and extremely likeable. Bill created my website’s thorough Terms of Use and Privacy Policy documents with quick turn-around. Between creating those documents, and offering his advice as I take my first steps, I’m confident that my legal needs have been addressed. Even though I have a small business I received the utmost respect from Bill, and will continue to seek his counsel as my business needs expand.

William Galkin wrote my e-commerce website Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. This required a large amount of customization. I was very impressed that although this was a fixed price Mr. Galkin provided numerous edits back and forth until I was completely satisfied with how the contracts read. He did this in a very short period of time so that I could meet my website launch deadline. William Galkin also spent considerable time during a free consultation, answering all of my questions, then subsequently provided a reasonably priced quote which is why I hired him.

I had a very complex matter regarding my drivers license and the MVA due to legal circumstances . After consulting several local “big time” firms they all said the same thing- “you won’t be able to drive..it’s not going to happen...get used to Uber..etc” I approached Monica and never hesitated in her optimism to get the job done and navigate the brutal MVA hearing/rules process. When everyone else said “no” Monica said “yes” and now I am back on the road moving forward with my life. And on top of everything Monica didn’t charge me what the “big guys” were trying to charge for services. I am truly thankful

Attorney Bruce Johnson represented me when I was 19 years old and helped me to get a case dismissal from a "young and dumb" mistake. When this misdemeanor popped up on a background check for a new job opportunity, Attorney Johnson quickly came to my aid. He provided a supporting letter to inform my employer about how we handled the case and to assure them that I was capable of the work. This helped me attain the job and we are working on expungement moving forward. I would highly recommend his service!

Katherine has been incredibly helpful since forming my business back in 2015. She's helped with a plethora of legal questions throughout the years and helped me and my business navigate a particularly tricky incident where my business partner passed away unexpectedly. She was on vacation at the time but still went out of her way to be there for me and help me navigate the situation. She's extremely knowledgeable when it comes to business law and I always feel comfortable reaching out to her with any questions because I know she will either have the answer or quickly find the answer. If you are looking for a lawyer who knows her stuff and truly cares about her clients, look no further than Katherine.

After my most recent spinal surgery in December 2018, I was unable to return to work full-time. My company provided Short- and Long-Term Disability (LTD) benefits through an insurer. Based on their proximity and the user reviews I found, I contacted Andalman & Flynn (A&F) in February 2019, and subsequently chose to have them (Elliott Andalman, primarily) represent me and handle my claim for LTD benefits. My claim was denied in August 2019. Based on their recommendation, we chose to have them file an appeal with the insurer, which was done in January 2020. In April 2020, the insurer granted the appeal and provided LTD benefits retroactive to April 2019. Throughout the process/ordeal, A&F was responsive, supportive, professional, and thorough. Without these qualities, we would have never successfully persevered or prevailed. I highly recommend their services for anyone in a similar situation.

I reached out to Andalman and Flynn in the early part of 2016. This firm were the only firm that accepted my case on a contingency basis. This was music to my ears because I did not have any income due to the sudden separation of my agency. I was not prepared. Although hope had been restored, as I had my free consultation with Elliot. I was diagnosed with PTSD, Depression and Anxiety. It was a long battle with OPM, but Elliot was persistent and he prevailed. He guided me every step of the way. "We Won!" is the news I heard on July 2, 2020!!! What a 4th of July Celebration!!! After nearly a five year extended journey, those are the words I heard on this day. Overwhelming emotions can not describe the feelings of HAPPINESS! Elliot heard my pain, my cries and felt my feelings of hopeless. Though he did not give up!! He was persistent and he prevailed. Elliot is professional, responsive, experience and highly knowledgeable. He stayed with me for almost five years through all bureaucracies of OPM (Office of Personnel Management).

I wish that I had enough writing space to express just how competent and skilled Brian Loffredo has been with respect to my legal matter. Brian came to me as a highly regarded referral and I first reached out to him in the midst of a very busy holiday week. Even with that being the case, Brian returned my call immediately. I gave him a pretty tall order, which required a very quick turnaround. I requested that he review a franchise disclosure, document, as well as a franchise agreement within a very tight window of time. Not only did he execute the tasks with a very quick turnaround, but his analysis in reviewing those documents was nothing short of outstanding, I have found Brian to be very conscientious, detail oriented, results oriented and he took the time to listen - which was so important to me as his client. Again, during what was a very busy holiday week, he spent nearly 5 hours with me going through his copious notes and analysis. I would highly recommend Brian with respect to any legal matter. He is a consummate professional and I have truly appreciated his superior level of commitment to me, as his client. Without a doubt, retaining Brian was one of the best business decisions that I have made, as a franchise owner. I hope to make use of his legal services in the future because he was exactly what I needed in an attorney and he DELIVERED!

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.
