I hired him for a divorce and he didn't do absolutely nothing, no contacts, never care to even talk or verified, his paralegal assistant is lost . no communication in anything. I wont recommend him for any reason unless you paid him millions of dollards because that all he care. and if you have the money to hired a lawyer, get someone is worth.

Mr. Martinez handled my divorce and it was quick and painless! He appeared at every court date on time, updated me on case status, and charged a very reasonable price. I am very satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend Mr. Martinez to anyone who needs legal representation or assistance.

I didn’t
know about this guy , he had a nice woman reach out to me. He fishes sites or ways to get clients. He has you do all this work for him and his gate keepers keep you wasting valuable time, then sends you a letter saying his office is to busy and can’t help you after you trusted him . Do not get tricked like I did . Law schools should reach higher when it comes to giving out a law degree, but since any nimrod can get a law degree make sure you do your homework. Do not waste your minutes on Mario .
He already got in trouble with the BAR , as it says . Once a cheater always, the saying goes . Buyer Beware with this guy .
Best place for him is RETIREMENT!!!!!
Best place for any of us is not trusting him.
Or his gate keepers who WOO YOU , just to send you a dear John letter .

Mr. Rodriguez helped me with my injury case. It was a hard case and I did not report it until over 3 months. Yet, Mr. Rodriguez was able to get me a LARGE settlement. He is very ethical and I recommend him to everyone who is looking for a lawyer that they can trust.

I found out that she did malpractice on my mother's case. She told my mom that the case settled. My mom signed the release form to accept the settlement and the attorney gave my mom her "portion" of the settlement. In a nutshell, the statue of limitations of the case had expired. My mom could no longer proceed with her case with another attorney. Mom didn't do anything about all this, she is of she & continue with pain due to her fall. Don't waste your precious time with her. It's not worth it.

We used this attorney and she does not answer phone calls nor does she have the complete knowledge required to thoroughly represent someone. It was like pulling teeth to get a call back or email reply from her. Years later and the case is still open!

Saurabh Mangi was nowhere to be found on multiple court dates. He only appeared once out of the dozens of times I had to show up to court. I called his office with no outcome. I don't live in the county & had to drive 6 hours to get to every single court case, to spend $120 on gas. He sent an associate of his once named Judith & she had absolutely no clue what was going on. He did not respond to my emails until finally I took a stand & sent him and Judith the same mail every single day until I got a response. When I did on October 13, 2011 he said he was in India getting married & then went on to respond: I'm doing you a favor not the other way around. Like I said I am court appointed so feel free to PAY another attorney to help you or get the court to appoint you another attorney. On October 15th 2011 he & his friends left me voicemails (that I still have) threatening me & warned me that they would come after me when I was in the valley . I was outraged that I even attempted to forward the case to the State bar disciplinary counsel, but got no justice. He doesn't seem to care much about his clientele whether they're court appointed or not, judging from his actions towards me. I would not recommend him to anyone & I only hope that the people he does appointed don't have to go through what I did.

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.
