Overpromised and underdelivered. 1. I had her on retainer but was mistakenly charged $450 twice in one month. 2. I was promised two employment contracts before the end of June, but did not receive them due to her personal reasons. I was then promised an additional two weeks of grace charge during which I was still charged. 3. She did not respond to retainer texts and email messages for updates until I reached out to her office. 4. I was again promised yesterday that I would receive my deliverables by the end of the day. I emailed and texted her at 11pm and 2 AM waiting for them, but I still have no paperwork indicating any work was done for my company. 5. She continued to argue that there was a bulk of deliverables coming my way and that her two calls (one being a free initial consultation and the other an update of the progress which I did not see or receive anything) constituted sufficient legal advice. She did not offer any refund until I asked, nor did she send me what was completed. She argued that her deliverables exceeded the $900 value, but I still question whether any work was actually done, as I have not seen anything tangible, just a lot of talk. Please do reply back to this post since I don’t hear much anyways. Update: I texted at 2am bc I was promised to have deliverables by later the night, Duh! 🙄 glad that I paid the lowest monthly retainer because I still won’t get them with a higher fee especially your over promise again. anyways…no worries! The way you responded back, hopefully helped others make a better impression of you too.

Over the past few years, Nan has been a trusted advisor for a multitude of situations pertaining to my private practice. I have found her to be very approachable and willing to spend time understanding the concerns that I have had. She has most recently helped me negotiate the sale of my practice and was a great advocate on my behalf. This most recent situation was very stressful and filled with unexpected hurdles, but she was a great sounding and was a calming voice in my ear. She has always shown concern and advised me to act in a way that would best serve my needs. She is highly recommended.

I have been working with Nan Gallagher on different issues for more than a year now. I find her to be level-headed and that helps to calm me when I am going through the stress of business and legal situations. I have worked with many lawyers, and Ms. Gallagher's integrity, professionalism, and knowledge are unmatched. Ms. Gallagher also has given me the guidance that I have needed to negotiate difficult legal issues, and has done so in a way that has kept me from getting myself into trouble, as I don't always see the forest through the trees. I would use Nan Gallagher for all of my legal issues and problems without hesitation.

Shareen recently represented me in the sale of my house. I'm a first-time seller, and Shareen patiently provided explanations, information, and guidance on how to proceed through each step of the closing process. She was in regular communication, providing status updates through every twist and turn. She was tenacious in helping overcome any of the various obstacles that we faced along the way. Shareen was amazing, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!

03 Jan, 2024 by Stanley rosario

I worked with Shareen on a recent real estate transaction. Throughout the transaction, she was a true professional, maintaining constant and transparent communication while navigating through the various obstacles encountered and keeping our clients' interests in the forefront. I would recommend her to real estate agents and clients alike, and look forward to collaborating again in the future.

13 Feb, 2023 by Julian wang

Shareen is the best lawyer I have ever worked with. In the last 6 months she helped us with 3 different cases, one home sales, one tenant eviction and one retirement fund. All three cases were completed in time and successfully. She was very patience, explain everything to us in details, always responding our questions in time. You will never find a better lawyer than Shareen.

I am a Broker/Owner of an independent real estate brokerage with 28yrs experience. I not only refer Brian Romanowsky, I'm also a client. His in-depth knowledge, compassion, integrity & patience check all the boxes I look for not only in a human, but especially in a legal counselor that represents you. Two thumbs way up!

09 Oct, 2018 by Patrick

My wife and I used Brian and team for our real estate transaction for our first home. As first time home buyers, my wife and I were very nervous about this process as we had never bought a home and have had some friends who had awful experiences. Brian was so on top of the situation, and never went a day without checking in with us. He was free for late night phone calls as well since my wife and I work during the day. In the end, I have two main takeaways aside from what I listed above: 1. Trustworthiness: Brian doesn't sugar coat the good, bad, and ugly. The home buying process is full of ups and downs and Brian will be sure to be honest and make sure you are informed. 2. Negotiation skills: Brian got us way more than we expected after inspection and advocated on our behalf to the seller. He has done this a million times so understands when you are in the driver's seat and when you shouldn't be so aggressive. I will remain as a reference for Brian as I was so impressed by his services.

11 Apr, 2018 by Brittany

I have worked with Brian on a case for over a year. During this time, he has been available/reachable at all times day/night/weekends for any of my ridiculous questions or anxieties in the middle of the night. He has given me scenarios with various options in which things could hypothetically work out. He was diligent and strategic with all things related to the case. His colleague Lisa Marie is also amazing to work with, so friendly, quick to respond and knowledgeable. Brian is cut throat at trial, gets the job done and is more than friendly out of the court room. I highly recommend calling Brian for any real estate related questions or concerns!

I can't thank Bill and the Ferreira Law Group enough for all their help and guidance on the purchase of my first home! As with most first-time home buyers, I was a little unsure about the process and the legal requirements along the way, but Bill took the time to explain the process to me from start to finish. His legal expertise and experience was very evident and I felt in control and reassured throughout the entire process. Bill was also very accessible and responsive which I valued greatly. My husband and I now live in house of our dreams thanks to Bill! I highly recommend Bill and his team!

31 Dec, 2014 by Chris

Bill is an excellent lawyer, trustworthy, savvy, and is extremely knowledgeable in his practice areas. Not only is he very active in the courtroom, but I like the fact that he is involved in the local community as well as an active participant in the legal community. I had a case which involved some very difficult circumstances which he was able to deal with without issue. Not only was Bill able to explain everything to me at each step of the process, but I honestly believe he really cared about me and my case. Bill is about results, doing things the right way, and getting the job done correctly. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who has a need for legal services.

I have had the pleasure of utilizing Mr. Ferreira as my attorney several times for different case types.

I love working with him because he thinks through the issues and solves problems. He is quick and dependable. He is my "go to" and I have received "thank you"'s from my clients for referring him.

12 Nov, 2022 by Bill

Michael did few cases for me. Real Estate Contract, Business Contract, NDA, etc. He always had time and desired to find the best solution for me. There are no office hours for him and he was available at any time of the day or week. I highly recommend him

10 Nov, 2022 by Andrew

Mr. Sterlin is one of the most impressive and well rounded attorneys I have ever come across. In 2017 he assisted us with my wife’s immigration from China. The federal immigration policies are confusing, drawn out, and frustrating to say the least. However, Mr. Sterlin made the process seamless and he kept us well well informed on status of the case. He also does a great job at explaining the intricacies of the law in a way we could understand. When I was purchasing a home in 2019, I asked Mr. Sterlin to be my attorney. Once again, I was impressed with the quality of effort he put into my case. The sellers attorney was certainly a stickler, but Mr. Sterlin was still able to achieve all the requirements I was seeking in the purchase. Due to his success, I felt comfortable to recommend him to my sister. From what I understand, their case had a positive outcome as well. Not only is Mr. Sterlin a knowledgeable attorney, but he also has a way of making you feel comfortable even in the most stressful circumstances. I highly recommend him for any of your legal needs!

I just want to thank Smith + Schwartzstein, LLC. Kathryn Schwartzstein, Esq. is professional, kind and will fight for her client. I can't thank her enough for her legal advice and skill. I was taken back when she listened to my my dad's story and believed in his case. She never doubted any of the events that took place. She was an advocate for my Dad and so very lucky that she is on our side. I can't properly express my heartfelt gratitude for her services. When we first sought legal counsel, our case was riddled with legal issues. It felt like I was being attacked by the other lawyer, but Smith + Schwartzstein., LLC stepped up to the plate in more ways than one. You argued for us against all odds and being kind and compassionate along the way. Your legal counsel has meant the world to us. I would recommend Smith + Schwartzstein, LLC to my family and friends. Sincerely, Ellen

Kathryn is truly a professional. She is in constant contact and is alway available for a quick chat or a more lengthy conversation.

The way she brought it to my former employer was extremely satisfying and I would recommend her again and again.

Ms. Shishkin helped me navigate an employment law issue. She was professional, responsive and helpful. She was able to communicate the law and likely responses from my employer in a way that was very helpful. Ms. Shiskin also helped to provide concrete advice for interacting with my employer that was equally as helpful. Her superb advice and professional demeanor was in stark contrast to other attorneys I interviewed to assist with my particular employment law issue. Other attorneys’ advice was not as helpful or concrete and their focus seemed solely on litigating. Ms. Shiskin used her legal expertise to help me reach the best possible resolution for my particular employment law issue. I recommend her legal expertise and commend her client focus and strong strategic approach.

Meri Van Blarcom Gupko is an attorney that I would highly recommend to anyone who needs help with an employment issue. She is very professional yet caring, friendly and compassionate. Meri was always on top of the details concerning our case and followed through on all issues of it. Never did we have to wonder what was happening with our case. Meri kept us informed by phone and email at all times. We never had to call her office and leave numerous messages because we knew that she would always reach out to us if necessary. Meri never stopped until every last issue was resolved. That is the only time she declared "case closed"! By the time the case was resolved we thought of Meri as a friend-not just an attorney.

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.

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.
