I used Attorney John Drapp for my pistol permit appeal with the Board of Firearms Permit Examiners and came out the end with success! I have nothing but good to say about Attorny Drapp. He is top notch when it comes to being an attorney especially with pistol permit appeals. He knows the laws inside and out, he is professional, he knows what needs to be said and what not to say, he knows whats needed and whats not and he will present your case to the upmost of his abilities because he takes great pride in what he does AND has a true passion for our 2A rights! Above all, communication over this 2 1/2 year process was outstanding. This is hard to find sometimes when hiring an attorney. He answered every single email in a timely manor even if it wasn’t anything important, that to me made me feel positive about the money i spent to hire him… Also as far as cost, he is very competitive if not better priced than most attorney’s…. Over all i was very happy with my experience. I wouldn’t risk doing these appeals alone seeing as there is so many little things that can go missed and result in a denial. Attorney Drapp will make sure you are 110% prepared AND some! Thank you again Attorney Drapp!!!

Greg is an excellent lawyer. I sought his counsel before signing contracts and developing my own art business contracts. I can honestly say that he made me feel comfortable and knowledgeable about what contracts means, what they should include, legalese language etc. He explained it in simple terms which I really appreciated. He is extremely patient, prompt, and responsive. I was very happy with his service and will continue to seek his counsel in my future endeavors. I highly recommend him!

Greg was referred to me by a former colleague as someone who has a depth of knowledge about my industry in particular. This knowledge helps him better understand where designers can get hurt in their contracts and therefore better protect them. He's super available and easy to work with and I give him my highest recommendation!

I worked with Greg to set up my small business and I'm so incredibly glad I did! I had not business experience whatsoever and was very nervous about the entire process. Greg was extremely reassuring, reliable, responsive to all of my needs, and he gave the much needed confidence to get through the entire process. He's prompt and on top of the communication process, logistics with documents, etc. which was wonderful. I would absolutely hire him again in a heart beat, and I am always happy to rant and rave about him to my colleagues and friends!

Alan Harrison has done several utility patents for me in the field of ophthalmic multifocal lenses. Not only all of my patent applications were successful and patents were issued. Within the last 12 months I have filed 2 US utility patents applications; the first patent letter of allowance we have received the letter of allowance from USPTO in THREE (3) months, the second patent was issued in 6 months. I consider it totally amazing IP Attorney performance. Alan is brilliant, has an amazing insight, great communication and literary skills and, as a bonus, refreshing sense of humor.
Alan Harrison is the inventors dream IP Attorney I strongly recommend. Thank you Alan!

Joe was a tremendous resource during my divorce. He listened intently during our initial consultation, and ultimately understood how to work WITH me. Throughout the process he was interested in how I wanted to handle and approach each step. He didn't hesitate to recommend alternate approaches to reach my end goals, but never overstepped. He understood that I was the one who had to live with the result.
Joe's legal knowledge and guidance was always spot on. He helped me fully understand the difference between my "wants" and what the law would allow. No Surprises. That was critical to managing my expectations, and helped me to better prepare for the next stage of my life.
Joe was GREAT at helping me manage the financial side of the process. He explained his costs and the billing process. No unnecessary phone calls, no unnecessary meetings. We spoke when we needed to, period. In the end, costs for the process were about 1/3 of my ex-wife's. Not because his rates were cheaper, but because he and I managed the process better.
I would recommend Joe to anyone who, God forbid, needs to go through this process.

Attorney Michael Devlin has represented my company for over 2 decades mainly in the area of labor and employment law but has also provided counsel in other areas. As the President & CEO of a mid-sized company legal counsel is a continual requisite and Attorney Devlin provides it second to none. He is easily accessible and has an uncanny memory for minute details which often are the decisive elements. Attorney Devlin interacts well with our entire team and has become an invaluable asset to our company. I would recommend Attorney Devlin to anyone in need of a competent, fair priced and results oriented labor/employment attorney.

Attorney Devlin has represented my company in the area of employment law for the past 15 yrs or more. As SVPHR for a major consumer packaged goods company, I have found Attorney Devlin to be a highly competent employment lawyer, offering expert legal advice with a practical, hands on approach. He is an excellent resource in brainstorming over sensitive employee relations matters, and in more formal litigation procedures, can be counted on to be thoroughly prepared, super skilled in depositions and other discovery proceedings, and readily available. Lastly, I have always appreciated the fact that Attorney Devlin has never "overlawyered" any situation that I have utilized his services for.

Bizarre was the way David A. Slossberg dealt with our case. Utterly impossible for him to return calls. Conversations were difficult and he would go off in tangents. Incapable of straightforward, intelligent answers. Unable to separate his personal life from his work. His reputation is based on what we cannot imagine other than connections from school onward. Unappealing accross the board!

By far one of the most rude, disrespectful attorneys I’ve ever had the displeasure of speaking with. His knowledge of automobile coverage/law is severely deficient and I couldn’t even finish a sentence without him interrupting me on the phone. Not to mention he insinuated to my mother that I would “threaten her” for use of her vehicle. Keep in mind that my mother is 70+ years old suffering from dementia, and is easily impressionable. Avoid this fear-mongering lawyer at all costs!

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.
