Some legal questions arose during a conversation with a potential client for my small company. I needed the opinion and legal advice from an employment and labor attorney, but the thing is that I needed those in a timely manner for me to attend another meeting with the potential client the next day, with enough knowledge on how to proceed with certain contracts. I found him here at Avvo, contacted him, and explained the time-sensitive nature of my request. He was able to momentarily postpone other commitments to work for me on reviewing documents and giving me his opinion and suggestion for the best approach.
I definitely will go back to him when my work requires his advice. 100% recommendable.

This has been my first experience with an automobile accident, I was referred to Accident and Personal Injury Law Center, I met with Atty Mary Jo Meives, she is a wonderful, and very knowledgeable attorney .

She is always there to answer anything that you need to know. Will recommend her to everyone and anyone that needs an attorney. I could not be any happier, knowing that she’s my attorney.

The truth is that the Miami legal market is absolutely saturated with lawyers and legal experts specializing in all types of law. Large firms are often out of reach from a financial perspective and small firms often lack experience, which makes the client's ability to trust in the attorney most difficult. That is not the case with Mr. Blilie. Jason is the type of lawyer that will ensure an effective flow of communications, will make himself readily available as per the client's needs, and always has a most cordial, respectful, honest, and engaging disposition. I am particularly pleased by his abilities of taking "legalese" and putting it in terms that is understandable by those of us with other backgrounds. Jason not only ensure that things are thoroughly understood, he will go above and beyond to conduct extensive due diligence including case law and other legal precedent to ensure his advise is as accurate and valuable as possible. Most importantly, Jason is not only a remarkable professional, but he is an outstanding individual who brings his passion for law and implements it in a way that undoubtedly adds value to his client. I highly recommend Jason and look forward to seeing him become one of nation's top lawyers.

I hired Richard right after I ran into civil dispute which required a complex understanding of a very particular industry. He quickly got up to speed and delivered a concise strategic plan that addressed my best options from a legal perspective. His experience, dedication, and personal care far exceeded my expectations. Not knowing what my case was going to look like, he helped me clearly understand what my options were. When questions or concerns came up, he fully addressed them and held a positive, yet objective viewpoint which minimized surprises. He’s an excellent communicator who eloquently responded to case documents and processes with the utmost care and diligence. Overall, I felt Richard went above the work I hired him to do by combining the much needed personal touch to his professional expertise. Ultimately, his performance led to a very favorable resolution. I am beyond grateful for his assistance. I highly recommend Mr. Steinberg’s services and fully entrust in his ability to take on whatever legal challenges or advice you may need.

Mr. Snyder was referred to me by another attorney i respect. Mr Snyder was very firm and pushed the case all the way to litigation. He fought hard and we got the case settled for what we deserve and not what the truck company wanted to get away with. I recommend Barry Snyder to my family and friends.

Karyn and Joshua Begin were the team on my husband’s legal case for permanent residency and I am beyond grateful for all of their help. Their exhaustive research and analysis got his case approved by USCIS and he can finally see a future beyond DACA renewal after renewal. I remember when I first started looking into applying for his residency, I was overwhelmed not knowing where to start and when Karyn explained to us the process that he would need to go through it seemed like this was going to be very long and tedious but she was knowledgeable on his case and explained everything in detail that we could understand. Both Karyn and Joshua were supportive, kind and everything you could want from your legal team during this process. We will definitely recommend them to anyone we know who would be in need of their services, and we will likely engage them again in 3 years time for his citizenship.

I absolutely recommend Karyn for her exceptional legal advice and support. From the very first consultation, it was evident that her expertise surpassed any information I had encountered online or through any other services( the JAG office). Karyn's insight into my specific case was incredibly detailed, highlighting nuances that I hadn't even considered.
The cost of the consultation was undoubtedly worth it, as Karyn meticulously analyzed every aspect of my situation, which I could not have done by myself. Her discussions and thorough approach instilled confidence in myself and my spouse that I was receiving the best possible guidance.
Throughout the process, Karyn has been an unwavering source of support, always available to address any concerns or queries. Her consistent availability and clear communication have been helping, ensuring that I never felt alone or confused during this journey while I was stationed overseas with my Spouse.
In summary, Karyn's expertise, attention to detail, and constant support make her an outstanding legal professional. I am grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in the Army in need of expert legal advice.

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.
