Paul is absolutely the best at what he does. What makes him the best? He cares about your case, about you, and about your family. Every time I have called he always answers and if he doesn’t he calls me back the same day. He will keep you informed and fight for you. I would highly suggest appointing Paul as your lawyer

Attorney Paul Moraski is THE BEST criminal defense lawyer! When my son was falsely accused of a crime that he didnt commit and all the cards were stacked against him, we felt defeated. We called multiple lawyers and had multiple consultations and each lawyer agreed to take his case but they all wanted him to plead guilty. This would have meant my son pleading guilty for something he didn't do, having a permanent conviction record, possible jail time, license suspension, fines, and court fees. I understand that this was the fastest, easiest, and least costly way out but this would have had a huge negative effect on my sons life and his career. He would not being able to work in his profession and run his current business. He worked so hard to get where he is by going to college, his internships and now owning and running his own business. This entire ordeal was a devastating blow to my family and we were so blessed and grateful that we found Paul! ( He asked us to call him Paul during our first meeting) We knew from the first consultation that we needed to hire him! He was the first lawyer out of many that believed in my son and believed we had a strong case and didn't want him to just plead guilty. This entire thing was foreign territory for us. Paul was very knowledgeable through the entire process, he explained things to us in detail and kept my family in the loop the entire way during my sons case. We couldnt afford to retain a lawyer, but Paul worked with us on payment plans! Paul was very professional in and outside of court and is also a very sharp dresser! I would recommend Paul to anyone looking for a great defense lawyer!

Working with Joe Simons was the best decision I made for my Federal case in California. A process that took over 3 years from start to finish Joe walked me through each process. Constantly working with the prosecutor to get me a better deal all the way down to Probation. Joe is up front and honest with you from the beginning on what to expect and that made each moment easier to handle. Even flying out to California multiple times I knew I was in good hands. Joe was always there to answer any questions and even after sentencing he is still helping with technical aspects of probation. I 100% recommend Joe Simons and his Law firm. They will have your back throughout the whole process.

I called Paul blindly after finding his firm on google. He spent an ample amount of time with me, asked detailed questions about my situation, and gave me suggestions that ended up paying off in a big way. I spoke with 5 or 6 lawyers, and he was by far the best. He's a straight shooter and he's moral, which seems rare these days. Any time a friend runs into a labor issue, I'll give him/her Paul's name.

I cannot recommend Attorney Scott Wittlin of Sassoon Cymrot Law LLC highly enough. Scott took the time to thoroughly educate my aunt and me on the intricacies of trusts, ensuring we understood every detail. His approach was refreshingly straightforward, empathetic, and professional. Having worked with many lawyers in the past, I often walked away feeling overcharged or underwhelmed. However, Scott is a true standout. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also deeply committed to serving the best interests of his clients. His transparency and dedication gave us peace of mind throughout the process. If you’re looking for an attorney who combines expertise with genuine care, Scott Wittlin is the one to call.

I have been a long term client of Thornton Law Firm which started in the 1980's. When medical issues arose in my family we contacted Thornton and immediately after Andy Wainwright contacted us. Throughout the whole process he was very professional and explained in step by step manner the legal process we were in and our plan of action. Andy has been at our side for the last 7 years and throughout that time he has always been there when we needed him not only as our lawyer but as a friend. We are very grateful for the Thornton Law Firm and especially Andy for all their hard work and dedication they have put into my family. We give them a 5 star rating!

We initially contacted the Thornton Law Firm via their website regarding a mesothelioma case. Immediately, we received a call from Attorney Andrew Wainwright and he made us feel comfortable during a difficult time. Throughout the process we were always well informed and things were always simply explained every step of the way. Mr. Wainwright was very courteous, kind & compassionate and felt like part of our family. All matters were always handled with the highest levels of professionalism. The settlements were processed and delivered in a timely manner. I highly recommend Andy Wainwright and the Thornton Law Firm. I give them a 5-star rating.

I contacted Attorney Karpf after my initial lawyer withdrew due to my inability to pay mounting legal fees. I was in the middle of a highly contested divorce and only three weeks away from my Pre-Trial hearing—a very stressful and uncertain time. Attorney Karpf took the time to thoroughly review my case and provide valuable advice and consulting services, even though I was unable to retain him as my primary attorney for financial reasons. His expertise and guidance were instrumental in helping me navigate the complexities of my case until its resolution. What also stood out was the level of communication. Attorney Karpf promptly and thoughtfully addressed all my urgent concerns, providing clear and practical solutions. His professionalism, deep knowledge of family law, and ethical approach gave me a sense of reassurance during one of the most difficult times in my life. Finally, and I have to mention it because it is important in a divorce, Attorney Karpf's fees were clear, honest, and affordable, which is not always easy to find in such a contentious and highly emotionally charged process. My only regret is not meeting Attorney Karpf from the very beginning of my divorce proceedings. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled and principled family law attorney.

We had a complicated situation that had our existing attorney completely flummoxed, and potential replacement attorneys refusing to get involved. Attorney Steve Allen leapt right in --- highly responsive, remarkably knowledgeable, creative, and ACTIVE. He was forcing the action right away. Comparing his approach to former representation is like comparing an ER Doctor to a lunch lady with a First Aid kit. We knew immediately that we were being protected and led in the right direction. The problem is now solved, but in retrospect we almost feel lucky to have faced it: Had we not had that issue, we might never have identified the firm we'll be using from now on --- Gelerman and Cabral LLC

Found Todd with a little web searching while looking for an estate planning attorney. Was impressed by the Socius website, so I scheduled a consultation. After we filled out the pre-planning questionaire, Todd explained our options for moving forward. I appreciated how up-front he was with the cost of the different estate plan options. Once we made our choice, Todd put together a comprehensive set of documents, meeting with us regularly to review drafts. Once we finalized and signed everything, he gave us helpful instructions for moving forward. I especially appreciate how, he's willing to meet with us in the future to ensure our plan keeps up with changing life circumstances.

Couple of months after I submitted my case to the USCIS. I have gotten into a car accident. Since my licenses were international I got into serious troubles and was facing a potential jail time & possible compromise of my immigration case. My Lawyer (Valarie) at that time; when she heard the news, she took over that case absolutely no charge and went to court with my twice! Eventually, she got the case dismissed and my immigration case was approved on time. I would recommend that compassion and professionalism to everyone I know.

I have been a self-employed business owner for 34 years, and have had experience with several attorneys. I and my company were sued with no good cause by an individual for financial damages, and this action lasted about 3 years. I can honestly say without reservation, and with my strongest possible recommendation, that Chris Fein is the finest and most skillful and knowledgeable attorney I have ever encountered. He is extremely intelligent and thoughtful, takes the time to listen and understand all of the issues at hand, and how they affect you or your business, is a master strategist, of the highest ethics both professionally and personally, and is very adroit verbally at the bar or in legal conference. He is also very patient and understanding, realizing that most clients are not legally educated. I would urge anyone reading this to retain his services if needed, and confer my very highest possible recommendation on his behalf.

I do not usually leave reviews, however it was refreshing to be treated respectfully by an attorney. He was actually a really nice guy.

Over the course of one weekend, I suddenly found both of my elderly parents in the hospital. One of them would need to move into a nursing home almost immediately as the other recovered. Only, I had no clue how to even begin this process. An event like this is emotionally draining, and now, needing to quickly find a nursing home on top of this, was overwhelming. The nursing homes are ready to take patients, eager for them. Bring them on, private pay! Only going to cost you thousands of dollars a month. Easy. When I called Spencer Ghazey-Bates, this is where I was, completely lost and overwhelmed, prepared for my parents to lose a lifetime of gathered assets within the year. After getting off the phone, this all changed. I had a plan of action. I had reassurances from an expert that has done this time and time again for other families. An overall plan was made, steps were given, one at a time, so as not to be overwhelming. I finally could feel like I knew what to do and could start sorting our lives out again while the paperwork was being taken care of by professionals. The nursing home's billing departments are experts at working for themselves. Without professional legal representation, I felt defenseless from their statements and bills. With Spencer, you have an export that works FOR YOU. Over the months of this process, we gracefully landed with my parent in a good nursing home and my parent’s assets intact. Every call, email, and text to Spencer and his team was answered quickly and professionally, and at times, I almost could forget about the furious amounts of paperwork going back and forth in the background. I was able to focus instead on my family. I cannot more highly recommend Spencer-Ghazey-Bates and his team for any elder planning you could need than I already have. If your family is having a crisis, or even just planning for a crisis, this is the team you want in your corner.

Attorney Paul Moraski is THE BEST criminal defense lawyer! When my son was falsely accused of a crime that he didnt commit and all the cards were stacked against him, we felt defeated. We called multiple lawyers and had multiple consultations and each lawyer agreed to take his case but they all wanted him to plead guilty. This would have meant my son pleading guilty for something he didn't do, having a permanent conviction record, possible jail time, license suspension, fines, and court fees. I understand that this was the fastest, easiest, and least costly way out but this would have had a huge negative effect on my sons life and his career. He would not being able to work in his profession and run his current business. He worked so hard to get where he is by going to college, his internships and now owning and running his own business. This entire ordeal was a devastating blow to my family and we were so blessed and grateful that we found Paul! ( He asked us to call him Paul during our first meeting) We knew from the first consultation that we needed to hire him! He was the first lawyer out of many that believed in my son and believed we had a strong case and didn't want him to just plead guilty. This entire thing was foreign territory for us. Paul was very knowledgeable through the entire process, he explained things to us in detail and kept my family in the loop the entire way during my sons case. We couldnt afford to retain a lawyer, but Paul worked with us on payment plans! Paul was very professional in and outside of court and is also a very sharp dresser! I would recommend Paul to anyone looking for a great defense lawyer!

We had an excellent experience working with Jon Duane during our home closing. He patiently answered all our questions and explained the legal and financial aspects clearly, making the process easy to understand. While we were out of town, Jon went above and beyond to represent us, handling everything with professionalism and care. His dedication gave us peace of mind every step of the way. We highly recommend Jon to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and client-focused closing attorney. Thank you for making this process so smooth and stress-free!

Atty Matt Karr is excellent. He spent the time to understand our need for a credit bypass trust. He explained the process in clear declarative English rather than legalese. I feel that his fee was very reasonable. He supported his documents with a video explaining everything so that I could replay it if I had questions. We spoke to other lawyers that charged more and some that charged less. It is very hard to compare prices like buying a car. I recommend that you meet with Matt before selecting an attorney. BTW trusts are his specialty not just another work product.

Ezra came highly recommended by several colleagues for employment agreements, and they were right - he's great! He was able to review my case in a short amount of time and was easy to get in contact with throughout the process. He was knowledgeable, kind, and took the time to explain things in plain language so that I could effectively advocate for myself later in negotiations. I felt comfortable asking questions throughout the process. He also gave pointers on how to negotiate in good faith, but he was willing to negotiate on a client's behalf, if preferred. I highly recommend him!

I have received exemplary client service from scheduling with Christine to my final estate planning with Brianna Nashawaty, who has exceptional knowledge of her craft of the law. Her patience and willingness to listen and discuss the option of estate planning is outstanding and greatly appreciated, instilling in me a sense of comfort and trust that my future plans for my children are safely written.

Andrew helped me through what was a very stressful time in my life. He was patient and responsive to my numerous questions, often taking my calls after hours and on weekends when I'm certain he had much more pressing matters to attend to. He gave me personalized attention and made me feel like my case was a priority. Unlike a lot of attorneys out there, it's easy to see that Andrew loves what he does and truly cares about his clients.

Patrick Murphy is the best. I was summoned to a Magistrate Hearing. I had no idea what to expect or even how to prepare. Upon first contact with Patrick, he was extremely helpful. He explained the whole process to me, assisted with gathering the right documents and information, and answered all of my questions. On the day of the hearing, Patrick explained how the hearing would unfold and again answered all of my questions. Patrick is very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. I highly recommend him for anyone who is in need of help with a magistrate hearing.

My husband passed away this fall and I needed to update our existing trust documents. My financial advisor referred me to Long Hagan Huff-Harris and I’m so glad he did. From the first call they explained how they would set up not only my new trust documents, but my revised Will, Health Care Proxy and Power of Attorney. They made it easy to understand, set up Zoom meetings to finalize my wishes and I only went to their office to go over the documents and sign my approval. I would, without hesitation recommend Long, Hagan, Huff-Harris for your legal needs.

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.
