I recently hired Matt Karr and his team to assist me with getting Mass Health for my brother. I did my due diligence in researching many firms that just specializes in this area, and made my decision to go with Heritage and am so glad I did! It can be a very daunting and overwhelming process to say the very least and could have never done on my own. They are extremely knowledgeable of all the nuances and intricacies involved in the ever changing process of these laws! The ParaLegal Kelly is amazing and knows everything there is to know about Mass Health and the application process. She is very thorough as well as patient in answering any questions I had and I had ALOT! Whenever I was stressed she would put me at ease in explaining the process in a way I would understand. I would highly recommend them to anyone and look forward to working with them in the future!

A±±+ Sold my property in Roslindale, never imagined it could be so painless.
Ali's team was professional, prompt, thorough and walked me through every step of the process. I live out of state but they handled the closing for me, I didn't even have to attend. Very reasonable fee was a great value just in the time they saved me, no question.
Highly recommended for real estate transactions! Call them!

Ali and his team are great people to work with. We were recommended to him via our realtor and couldn't have been happier.
In the initial conversation, he explained all services they'd offer and an estimate of the costs. They worked with our lender very efficiently and kept us in the loop at all times. They were responsive in answering all questions in every step. Closing (which was mentioned as a stressful event by friends) was very smooth and stress free.
Definitely recommend Ali and his team to anyone who's looking for real estate attorney services. We'll be working with them in the future again for sure.

Excellent Lawyer: Highly Recommend for Criminal Defense
I am extremely grateful for Paul Moraski’s support and expertise in resolving a complex legal issue I was facing. From the start, he was thorough, professional, and dedicated to achieving the best outcome. I was in a challenging situation that could have had serious implications for my career, but Paul handled it with skill and confidence. He successfully negotiated a dismissal with a year-long contingency, which allowed me to move forward with my life. I can’t thank him enough for his diligence and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a strong defense attorney.
Lastly, he was super easy to call or text at any hour to relieve me if I had any questions about anything, no redirection to his Office or an assistant. I found that to be invaluable, and I was surprised at the accessibility. He really goes above and beyond for his clients. I definitely understand why he’s a top attorney in Boston.

While on vacation in Boston, I was falsely accused of a serious crime, arrested, and faced with felony charges.
After spending the night in jail, I was assigned a public defender who was entirely unfamiliar with my case. Unfortunately, not only was this public defender incompetent, but he also lacked the appropriate credentials to handle a case of such seriousness.
I was facing a minimum of five years in prison, and my bail was set at $60,000. The public defender made no effort to fight for me. He didn't attempt to have my bail reduced or identify any weaknesses in the case against me. Instead, he simply agreed with the prosecutor and judge, and I was sent back to jail.
After three nights in jail, my family informed me that they had hired a criminal defense attorney named Paul Moraski, who would be visiting me in a couple of days.
True to their word, Paul arrived at the jail two days later. I was escorted by a correctional officer to meet him. From the moment we met, I knew Paul was the right lawyer for me. He had an incredible personality, was highly educated and knowledgeable, and held himself to a very high standard. For the first time, I felt hopeful again.
The first thing Paul said to me was, "We’re going to beat this case." He then assured me, "I am going to get your bail reduced from $60,000 to $30,000 so you can go home." Paul not only understood my case thoroughly but also knew the courtroom inside and out, thanks to his 14+ years of experience.
Two days later, I had another court appearance, and Paul was outstanding. He successfully persuaded the judge to lower my bail from $60,000 to $30,000, allowing my family to secure my release.
The night I was bailed out, Paul immediately called to congratulate me on going home. He reassured me once again, saying, "There are numerous holes in your case, and you have nothing to worry about."
Despite Paul's reassurances, I remained anxious about my case after returning home and would call him weekly. Each time, Paul answered the phone, and if he was in court, he would return my call immediately afterward.
Paul is an exceptional attorney, though not inexpensive. However, he provided me with a very reasonable rate given the severity of my case. He also offered me a monthly payment plan, which greatly eased the financial burden.
When it comes to fighting for your freedom, no price is too high. Paul Moraski was worth every dollar.
Six months later, just as Paul had predicted from the start, my case was completely dismissed.
If you find yourself facing legal issues in the Boston area, I highly recommend contacting and hiring Paul Moraski. He is not only an outstanding defense attorney but also a remarkable person. I feel like I not only hired a lawyer but also gained a friend.
Thank you for everything, Paul.

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.

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!

As a new attending physician out of a training, I reached out to Ezra Reinstein while working on several individual contracts. He helped explain the contracts and gave pointers on negotiation. He also helped me write other legal documents for my practice and was able to answer business related questions.
He has extensive experience in the Boston area and specifically works in the medical field, which really showed in his expertise and recommendations. He was easy to connect with on the phone, and the whole process was convenient.
I would recommend The Reinstein Law Firm and would use their services again!

We called Todd after we paid another attorney initial amount because I needed someone who can be trusted. Todd immediately won our trust and was completely selfless in providing us with the information that helped us with a comprehensive planning. He is honest and helpful with no-sales approach but focused on what his clients need. Thank you Todd for your help with the process.

During the process of filing and being approved for my LTD claim I greatly benefited from George’s expertise, genuine personality, friendly demeanor, and conscientious nature. I felt like George had my back and that his top priority was helping me deal with my disability and get the support I needed. Having a teammate who possesses his wealth of knowledge, vast amount of experience in the field, professionalism, and terrific interpersonal skills was a godsend. Overall, if you’re looking for the best LTD lawyer around, I highly recommend hiring George Thompson.

Anyone who has ever bought or sold a home knows how tedious the process can be. You can imagine the anxiety that my wife and I had at the thought of trying to do both at the same time.
After completing the process, and reviewing lessons learned, the one thing my wife and I know we will definitely do again is hire Steve Allen. Steve's professionalism and guidance, answering all of our questions and explaining things in terms that were easy to understand, through the entire process made things that much easier for my wife and I, and we look forward to using Steve's services for out future needs.

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.

Not knowing if I even needed an attorney I spoke with Attorney Benner on the phone, he was aware right away that I did not need an attorney, however that didn’t stop him from going out of his way to continue to explain a lot of information to me about my situation and actually educate me about it. 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.

This was my first time ever needing to retain legal council - and Briana Nashawaty WAS the breath of fresh air I needed!! I went into this "process" completely blind but was desperately trying to understand and navigate through my fathers estate in MA while I reside in AZ.

Attorney St Pierre represented me during a prolonged Workers Compensation case. I am a very independent person, and I found myself way out of my bailiwick. I knew I needed clear guidance. I was badly injured, undergoing multiple surgeries with loads of post op complications. In the end, I was forced to give up a career I loved.A career I spent 7 years in college working towards, finishing at the age of 51 just to get a chance to practice. Ron is a phenomenal attorney, he has the experience and expertise to win cases. He fought for me for the highest financial settlement possible and won. He also never forgot what I lost.

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.

I highly recommend Peter Winters if you find yourself in need of a lawyer. He has a wealth of experience and a no nonsense, practical approach to resolving court issues. I immediately knew I was in good hands when I hired Peter. Every step of the way I felt incredible relief after talking to Peter. He took on my case in Superior Court and closed it out within a year when it could easily have dragged on for over three years. While all court issues have a heavy financial toll, Peter's expertise saved me a great deal in total costs, and his fees are so much more reasonable (half the cost) than any other lawyers that I contacted. I could not have been in better hands.

Matthew represented me in a very difficult situation involving discrimination charges I filed against my company. My very powerful former company had reacted to every attempt I had made to advocate for myself over the years in ways worse than I could have imagined, and I knew if I would have continued to represent myself, I probably wouldn't be able to live with the outcome. Matthew graciously took my case and got the situation resolved very quickly, hammering out an agreement that got me everything I cared about the most, and more. I left that company with the dignity they tried to take from me and I will be forever grateful to Matthew for that.
I was especially impressed by Matthew’s intelligence, engagement with the more complex aspects of my claims, and willingness to take calculated risks and stand ground on several points that were really important to me. He’s an incredibly skilled negotiator with great instinct. Although we didn’t go to court, I knew from his numerous ground-breaking legal victories that if we did, he would do a spectacular job. I think my former company knew that, too, and that gave me a ton of leverage. I would recommend him to anyone.

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.
