I hired Rob to handle a dispute with a moving company and to make sure that my interests were protected. Robert negotiated my position with the company and resolved the dispute without filing a formal claim. This saved me money on attorney fees as well as resolving my dispute to my satisfaction.

I have known Alan Walter for at least 18 years and during that time he has successfully represented me at least three times and I am forever grateful for his counsel as well as his broad knowledge in both the law and business. He is both smart and insightful as to how to address and manage complex legal and administrative issues and above all, his integrity has been remarkable. He has been scrupulous in his dealings with both me and my family along with others to whom I have recommended him to. He has always been available and easy to interact with.

I've worked with other lawyers in the past, but I enjoyed working with Alan the most. He was, by far, the most responsive to my needs.
Alan helped me form and organize my LLC and addressed the issues that my partners and I were facing as a startup.

I had the pleasure of working with John on my employment case. John was extremely knowledgeable of the laws surrounding my case and kept me informed each step of the way during negotiations. The outcome was not only favorable and more to my satisfaction, but the time and effort that John put into this case proved that he is there for his client.
I am more than happy to write this review for John and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing his services.
He is by far one of the best attorney's I have ever retained to help with any legal matters and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Omar A. Lopez is a fantastic attorney. He always gives the best advice. I suffered for two years in a hostile work environment and was able to keep my job and stop my harasser when management was hoping to fire me because I complained about unfair and unethical workplace practices . This gave me a chance to find another job and keep my good employee records. I was never as upset as I was dealing with that horrible workplace and Mr. Lopez was there when I needed him for morale support. I could have taken the easy way out and quit or let them continue to harass me but I am glad I had Mr. Lopez’ help. I 100% recommend him. He truly is in it for justice and for the best interest of his clients, which is a rarity for lawyers it seems.

For over twenty years, Andrew Rubin has represented me in a series of complex post divorce agreement issues. There is a statement in Mr. Rubin's profile that I wish to amplify:
"He will work tirelessly to resolve the legal matters at hand efficiently, cost effectively and in your best interest."
That statement is 100% true and he usually wins. In addition, Mr. Rubin's advice is rock solid - even when I did not want to listen.

Andrew is a magnificently talented attorney. I had a case in Nj with an unprofessional awful lawyer from Woodbridge nj, who has the worst reviews on the planet, and who lost my case in all courts and disappeared, but thankfully I found Mr. Andrew Rubins through my real Estate attorney in NY, and this man is highly educated, professional and competent. He successfully fought and won my massively damaged court case in a detailed lawsuit which he fought hard to win. He also was able to win back and retrieve all my prior legal fees and for this I am so incredibly thankful for such a great attorney.
You should call and hire Andrew Rubins, he’s the man.

Hikmat was able to close on a house we fell in love with. There were some issues with the house and title that needed to be to handled and they were. We thought we were going to lose the house of our dreams, but Hikmat made the closing happen.
I just wish the closing happened faster.

What Mr. Labeeb fails to mention in his negative review is that he was not a client but rather he and his wife were adversaries. They were tenants of my client against whom evictions were filed and his review is nothing less than an effort to sully my excellent reputation and wrongfully fails to mention the fact that he was not a client. The fact that he wrote this review demonstrates that he was not happy with the the services I provided to my client in taking actions to remove him and his wife from my client's property because of their actions.

He was recommended to me for a closing. He couldn't get anything right. Dates were wrong, the new address was wrong, he confused me for another client several times. He claims he never knew the closing date yet we discussed at length when it was and how to make it happen. He made other plans so he wasn't at my closing. He was extremely rude and demanding in emails to my lender to the point where they had to ask him to stop emailing. There is a fine line of lighting a fire under people to get things done and just being plain rude. He was plain rude. He even admitted to not paying attention to which person he was emailing because he looked quickly at the first name and then had the nerve to say to me that I don't understand how hard he worked to get my closing done. Well that is what you are payed for! He's even put me on closing emails for other clients. They had names not even remotely similar to mine. Just unprofessional all around. He cared about getting paid and not about quality.

My husband and I decided to take a stab at selling our home in Livingston on our own. But, never having done that before, we knew we needed an experienced lawyer. Here comes Dan to save the day. He walked us through all of the steps, reminded us of certs/docs that we needed, and made the process a breeze. If we FSBO again, we know who we're calling. Thanks, Dan!

I hired this lawyer because he said he could protect over 2 million dollars my Uncle left to the Catholic Church. He only recovered a tiny portion of what he claimed he could. He pressured me to go into a business venture with him in which he never did one thing he said he would. the venture went south and I was out hundreds of thousands of dollars while he still kept his job and seemed to not care one bit. Other lawyers in other firms said he was simply an egotist blowhard and had problems with all of the contracts he drafted. This guy should be avoided.

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.
