For more than a decade, Mr. Head has handled all legal and estate planning matters for our family. When we bought our Northern Virginia-based information technology business 5 years ago, he became our attorney of record for the business too. Over the years, significant legal issues have arisen, and they have required Mr. Head's involvement. In each case, Mr. Head's wise counsel, leadership and professionalism has resulted in a 100 % success rate. Our family and/or company has prevailed in all matters. We continue to be extremely satisfied, and we have continued to retain him. He is knowledgeable and ever-prepared in all that he does, and we admire his personal tenacity. Mr. Head receives our highest recommendation.

I was referred to Mr Bozof for a copyright infringement matter in VA, and he was excellent. In my initial consultation it was clear he had deep knowledge of the subject matter; I did not hesitate to hire him, and thankful I did. My goal was to make this matter go away as quickly as possible, and Mr Bozof did just that. He communicated with me consistently, and presented a number of alternative strategies along with the associated risks of each one. (mostly surrounding time and cost). I chose the least expensive/time consuming strategy with him, and he executed it perfectly, working with opposing counsel to a very reasonable settlement. Because of Mr Bozof, I was able to put a distracting matter quickly in the rear view mirror so I can focus on my business. I would not hesitate to hire him in the future.

We retained Mr Bozof in a construction lawsuit. We were sued by a client after completing the structure. Thye just didn't want to pay us because money was tight for them and they wanted to use small issues with the plumbing to try to claim the foundation was done wrong. He immediately identified what we needed to do, and was able to understand everything that came up. I never had an attorney who understood commercial building code. He had several expert witnesses available too that we consulted with and they confirmed every thing he said. At a 2 day trial Mr Bozof cut to the chase. I think the judge immediately saw that the claims against us were bogus. Also, one of their expert witnesses wasn't even qualified for plumbiing and mr Bozof got him kicked out. It was quite impressive. We got paid, and they had to pay for our legal fees too. Very happy with Mr Bozof.

Not only did Mr Bozof fail to do the work I initially paid him to do, he charged me a few more thousand to do the work I had originally hired him for. Then, he couldn't produce the work he "did". Be warned, Mr Bozo has a million excuses. At one point he told me he never gave his clients documents he completed for them. Then the roof in his office collapsed; then his admin quit and he couldn't get into his email; then all his documentation was destroyed in the roof collapse; then it was his new admin's fault; he was locked out of his email... You see where I'm going with this? Take it from me, Mr Boozoff is a terrible communicator who is quick to take your money but slow to produce any results. And if he says he understands the IRS, run-hangup-fake an excuse to keep your money in your pocket.

My wife Mary Anne and I were recommended to Jennifer Lucey for preparation of an estate plan. We couldn't recommend Jennifer more highly: personable, professional, taking the time to first discern our needs and then advising us on several possible courses of action to accomplish our ends. We met with Jennifer in person several times and reviewed comprehensive drafts of the documents she carefully prepared, while she revised them to closely attune to our wishes. She is an absolute delight and a consummate professional. We are very pleased.

If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation requiring a litigation attorney, Heba Carter will provide superior legal services while maintaining a civil demeanor in relation to the snake oil and venom that the opposing counsel will be hurling on all sides. Litigation is a long process through which Heba will be your uncompromised advocate, defending her client's rights and exerting all legal measures to obtain the best outcome possible. Your input will be welcomed at each juncture. Be assured she listens to your issues and questions and will respond in a thoughtful manner, no condescending tone or superior attitude.

Larry Stein was initially recommended to me by a colleague. In 2019, I was contemplating filing an EEO complaint, and I reached out to Larry to inquire about legal representation. I was incredibly impressed with Larry’s attentiveness as I summarized the issues I was experiencing with my agency. He explained the law and offered me insights about whether I had a viable case. He also advised me to contact him if anything changed. A year later, a significant change occurred. I immediately contacted Larry and retained him for my EEO case, which continued for 20 months. Larry provided me with exceptional representation. He was a consummate professional who made himself available even after regular working hours. He has a strong character and demonstrates empathy with his clients. Given his high-level of experience, I felt comfortable and confident when relying on his professional judgment. I trusted Larry to make the right decision, and he always did. We eventually reached a resolution in my case in my favor thanks to Larry’s dedication and hard work. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case and with my experience working with Larry, who treated me as if I was a member of his family. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend Larry Stein to anyone in need of representation.

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.
