I would highly recommend Tim and Henry the 2 best guys I ever met. We became close with in a very short amount of time. Very trustworthy and made me feel like I was in the best hands imaginable. I’m a hard person to impress and they went above and beyond my expectations. If you are ever in trouble and you read this review you would be a fool to not give them a call. I promise they are the best and it’s a phone call to find out. Thanks guys. There is no way I could repay you. Thanks for believing in me.

To me this NO GOOD is worst as it comes. 10 Years was taking money from me, all together $28400, with only one his and the plaintive strategy: Never let my case to be heard in the court of law. For 10 years being my attorney he managed to request from the judge 37 adjourns, several not showing in the court for the scheduled judicial calendar hearing which in result, by the request of the plaintive lawyers, my case has been dismissed for 13 month. Was trying to dump my case by requesting court to be relieved as my attorney. Finlay, when judge turn him down, hi requested from the court that my case would be "MARKED OFF". By the judges suggestion I've fire him. It took me only two court appearance on my own to have my case resolve to my satisfaction. I'm now suing this BAD replica of human been for malpractice in the New York Supreme Court. He also cheated my wife on money while handling her severe injury received during a car incident case.

When I Hired her I didn't expect to do so much work and chasing around.
If you unfortunately decide to go with this attorney. Please beware and make sure you do the following.
Keep an eye on the billing and make sure you follow up with what you ask her to do. You will have to stay constantly on top of her if not she will not do it. Make sure you get ccd in all emails as she will tell you the opposite of what the opposing attorney says.
If I could choose 0 stars I would have. Just be aware, and make sure you stay on top of her if not all she will do is delay and keep billing. If you could deal with all of the above then I guess she might be for you.

Diane was a phenomenal advocator for me and did a wonderful job in obtaining custody of my 3 children. She was thorough in her discovery and even better in the court room; well worth the money. Highly recommend to anyone in a custody dispute.

I wish I could go back and hire someone else but just about everything is done. I've paid about $200,000 and didn't even get custody. I'm sick over everything. Diane is ruthless and vindictive and I'm not finalized. I cry everyday. She makes my skin crawl. I know attorneys can nickel and dime but she is ridiculous. She won't email anything and I find out information days after everyone else and mailed to me at my expense. There's never any courtesy - not even a stamp. She has dragged this out with letter after letter not caring how my kids are suffering. The law guardian she recommended is a laughing stock.

I had to file a claim because of a whole house surge protector. I did what they asked and sent in receipts for labor, parts and for some replacements of smaller items. Items that most would consider Disposable, I wrote next to them , "Not Cost Effective to Repair" I had to have certain items repaired ASAP, such as my furnace, refrigerator, internet etc but other items I could wait on. Even said, I looked for the lowest price for the labor, parts or the items I replaced right away and put what I could through warranty even though I did not have to use a warranty because of Levitons failed surge Protector. I also did many of the repairs myself. After more than a month I finally received an offer to replace my damaged items. All they included was the items I sent invoices in for to repair or for parts or if I had an original invoice of when I bought it. Even said, their "Fair Market Value" is equal to what you might pay at a yard sale. The disposable items they did not include because I did not get estimates. I asked who it going to pay for the estimates and in most if not all cases, the estimates or cost to repair will exceed the value of the new cost of the item. They do not say in their warranty who will pay for estimates or if you will be reimbursed but they do have a clause in there to be able to inspect your damaged items. They declined to have anyone inspect them. I asked to speak to their legal council and I received a call from Mr Vincent Lonigro, AKA Clarence Darrow or want-to-be. I told him their offer of $3100.00 was ridiculous. He said he thought it was $4500.00 and I said not. He asked what I would accept and I told him the least amount $6500.00. Unlike most people, I have filed many cases in court myself and have no problem going up against an attorney since I have many times before and won. He said they have never lost a case. I did a little research on that and do not believe it to be true but it was a limited search. In most cases, they know most people will accept there offer like I read one person did and Leviton knows this because if the amount is under $5000.00 an attorney will cost you almost that, so it does not pay to hire one and again Leviton knows this. After a few emails, Mr Lonigro got a little to insulting and finally said, his offer was $3800.00 and if I did not accept it by the end of the day, Sue Us! I sent him an email back telling him I will accept it but not because I feel I would lose in court. The fact is, I know I feel I would prevail and even for up to a few thousand more, but in court I would need an expert witness and estimates to repair the rest of the items which may cost more than the item and never know if the court will award you the estimate cost along with the fair market value as well or only one. The other issue is when you file the claim, they ask you to send the surge protector back for testing. At this point you have lost control of having it tested by an independent company, so it makes it much harder to prove it was the cause of your damage even if your house burns down. Attorneys like Mr Lonigro get these jobs because of security, a good salary and the fact that if they were an attorney on there own and had to be in court defending criminals, drunk drivers or doing injury cases, they may not make it in the real world. For the most part, these Corporations hire outside law firms in other states and only once in a while a corporate attorney will get involved in the case. They also have to work under the other attorneys license if they are not licensed in that state and need permission from the court and sometimes the defendant. I have been involved in one jury trial like this and they asked my permission. Maybe these kind of Corporations look for Jerks like this to deal with claims. There are higher up attorneys there but they will not let you speak to them. If this attorney was in private practice, I would never hire him or buy Leviton Products again.

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.
