I recently hired Melanie Ryan to help me with estate documents, specifically an advanced health directive and my will. I never had either one in place and my situation was somewhat complicated, yet she did a wonderful job navigating all of the gray areas for me. She even consulted with a colleague to understand the intricacies of immigration law and referred me to speak with him as well. In terms of reaching her and scheduling an appointment, she responded almost immediately to my initial inquiry through her website and we set up an appointment for the following week. We spent an hour together during our free consultation where I gave her all the information needed and then over the next month, Melanie drew up a draft of each document and sent it to me for review. I returned the documents to her with requested info and any necessary edits. Shortly after I had my finalized documents in hand. I appreciated the professionalism and kindness displayed by Melanie overall. I will definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!

I had an employment related case about a year ago. Although some lawyers thought it would be hard to prove that I was terminated because of discrimination, Seth accepted my case. He was very sharp, knowledgeable, patient and professional, and most of all, he was really kind. He was not the type of aggressive lawyer, but he definitely got things done in his own polite yet effective ways. My previous employer totally ignored my claim before Seth stepped in. He immediately found the right party to talk to and started negotiating on my case. In the end, I got a very good settlement that I deserved. It was really great service and I would highly recommend Seth. In addition, the fee was contingent and the amount was very reasonable, unlike some lawyers who charge a ridiculous amount even before they sit down to talk with you. While I was dealing with one of the worst situations in life, it was a great and pleasant experience working with Seth!

Lana is an excellent real estate attorney. I did a lot of research to find her and it was worth it. Lana helped me buy my first house. She was incredibly helpful, explaining all the details (and there are A LOT of details), and never dismissed any of my concerns - and I had a lot of questions. She is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Lana to anyone looking to purchase a home. You need a good attorney when you buy a house and Lana is the best. She is very knowledgeable and prepped me on what to expect every step of the way from dealing with real estate agents on both sides of the table to what I should be saying to the people at city hall. Even though the sellers did not have their act together and created multiple delays and complications throughout the process, Lana kept things on track and moving along smoothly on my end. If you are looking for a real estate attorney in New Jersey you should definitely contact her, she is great and her rates are affordable as well.

Then, my friend referred Pragati Dubal to us and she was very attentive and started AR process for house within hours and we are able to get hold on the house. From the beginning of the process till closing, she was very much involved in the process by paying attention to minute details and used to advise us time to time well in advance about the correct process and things to be done. In one word, I can tell that her devotion to work, paying attention to clients needs, discipline and ethics in the approach helping the people like me to able to achieve our goals successfully.

She thoroughly explained every step of the process from contract to closing so there would be no surprises, which I very much appreciated as a first-time home buyer! When I called law office of Pragati, she was very warm and efficient and quickly started working on my documents. Her communication was excellent throughout the process.

Bonny and her team were terrific to work with. They explained my options and together we arrived at a sound approach that yielded the exact results I desired. Bonny handled all correspondence with my employer and the Long-term Disability payments they helped me retrieve more than compensated for their reasonable fee.

I have been very happy with Mr. Cherry's paralegal Sylvia. I recently hired Mr. Cherry for selling my parents' house. Sylvia fielded all my questions. She got all of the paperwork together promptly. She knew about the closing out the home equity loan and ensured that the bank was involved. And on top of that Sylvia is personable. Mr. Cherry also found issues with my contract and corrected them. He was able to represent me at closing. The buyers wanted a concession, but Mr. Cherry negotiated it away. I have bought two houses before. I have sold a house before. This is the first time I feel like I had someone looking out for me. I would recommend contacting Mark Cherry for your real estate transactions because the Sylvia paralegal rocks!!

I was living in California, and I found Stacey Wolfe via a Google search. To my surprise, she answered the call herself. I'd been led to believe I would need an attorney's services to get out of a purchase agreement I had signed for a mobile home in New Jersey (where I'm originally from). Well, within a few minutes my problem was solved. Turns out all I had to do was to write a short email, and Stacey told me exactly what to write. With just a few freely-given words, she had saved me a lot of time and money. And she didn't even know who I was yet! The informal conversation gravitated to the area in New Jersey I was then considering moving to, and Stacey freely shared enough information with me about that specific area to help me realize I would not be happy living there. Again, Stacey had saved me a lot of time and money. She saved me from making a major life mistake. And I wasn’t even a client or “on the clock” yet! I've since consulted with Stacey on other matters including estate and property-ownership related issues after the passing of my mother, and again I benefited greatly from her insight and advice. So what else can I say? Stacey's knowledge, insight, and experience are beyond impressive, and her honesty, sincerity, and caring are beyond question. First and foremost, it is clear that Stacey Wolfe truly has her client's best interests at heart. And she is one of the nicest, kindest people you could ever hope to meet. I could go on and on but I'll just wind this down by saying that Stacey Wolfe is a true Godsend, I trust her implicitly, and I recommend her wholeheartedly.

We hired Ms. Wolfe after a referral from a friend to handle the legal work surrounding the sale and purchase of a home. Throughout the process Stacey was always at least two steps ahead of the other attorney's and real estate sales staff. Every step was handle efficiently with clearly explanation of the reason and corresponding next step. She was always available by phone and email, needed transactions were handled simply and cleanly with electronic signatures whenever possible. During the closing process for the sale of our home we had a unique issues regarding our survey- and her understanding of the law and local planning created a clear path for resolution. After our experience with Stacey Wolfe, she has become our family attorney handling our wills and estate planning, and any other issue that may impact our family. I strongly recommend her work, style, and ability to focus on our interests. Thank you.

I cannot say enough about Ms. Suarez. My wife and I were looking for someone to help with the sale of our house that would be professional and not take us for fools. I say this because from my experience with other real estate attorneys there are always “hidden fees” not mentioning names but when we purchased the house we went with an attorney who gave us a “good price”. At the closing table we were paying for extra copies/document fess etc we felt like we were dealing with a car salesman and not a professional. We will be working on our estate planning and the closing of our new house with Ms. Suarez no need to look any further. Professionalism at its best.

Mr. Kilcommons was referred to me by a friend who had previously bought a franchise and used his services during the negotiation. As a new prospective franchisee, I wanted to make sure I invested in the best franchise for me. Mr. Kilcommons initially consulted with my husband and I to learn about our goals, our familiarity with the franchise we'd identified, and its customer base. While learning about us, Mr. Kilcommons clearly explained his process and what we could expect as the outcome of his analysis. Once Mr. Kilcommons reviewed the financial disclosure document and franchise agreement, he provided a memo that detailed the contents disclosure document, agreement in plain language, what we should expect from the franchisor, while advising on pitfalls we should be aware of. After our meeting and receipt of the memo, I felt very comfortable that I knew what I was getting into and that I had made the right decision in choosing Mr. Kilcommons. So much so, that I will be using him in my upcoming retail space lease negotiations.

I contacted Paul after I was in an accident. He was very helpful from the moment he took me on as a client. He helped me get medical treatment through PLIGA when I had no insurance at all. Paul also made sure I was seen by a doctor immediately for my pain. The doctors he recommended were amazing. They seen my promptly and took care of my needs ASAP. Throughout the claims he was there when I needed him and was prompt on returning my calls / emails. During the depositions he helped me understand what to do since I never had to do one. When it came time to settle he was there and made sure I was fairly compensated for my pain. I highly recommend Paul Riviere II as an attorney, I will use Paul again when and if the time needs.

Mr. Riviere gets a five star rating from my husband and I. Any questions we had he made sure to answer them, and that we understood. He went way above and beyond to help us out, we had a case that turned out not to be a cut and dry as we thought it would have been, but he didn't give up until he got the results that were needed for our results. He always stayed positive for us, even when we weren't. This is a man who has the best interest of his clients first, and go above and beyond to get it. I would recommend Mr. Riviere to anyone looking for a through attorney, and if we would ever need an attorney again we wouldn't hesitate to call again upon his service and expertise.

I recently had the pleasure of working with the Law Offices of Rosemarie Arnold on a personal injury case involving a car accident, and I can’t speak highly enough about my experience. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, the professionalism and dedication of the team made a difficult situation so much easier to navigate. Lauren, my paralegal, was an absolute gem. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable and efficient but also super responsive to all my questions and concerns. No matter how small my issue, Lauren was always there to provide clarity and support. Her attention to detail and commitment to my case made all the difference! I also want to give a huge shoutout to my attorney, Nova. From the very beginning, Nova took the time to explain the process in a way that made me feel comfortable and informed. Her expertise and strategic approach were evident, and I knew I was in good hands. Nova’s dedication to my case and her ability to advocate for my best interests truly set her apart. Overall, I can’t recommend the Law Offices of Rosemarie Arnold enough. They made a challenging experience manageable, and I’m incredibly grateful for their hard work and support. Thank you, Lauren and Nova, for everything! --------- Recientemente tuve el placer de trabajar con la oficina de abogados de Rosemarie Arnold en un caso de lesiones personales relacionado con un accidente de coche, y no puedo hablar lo suficientemente bien de mi experiencia. Desde la consulta inicial hasta la resolución final, el profesionalismo y la dedicación del equipo hicieron que una situación difícil fuera mucho más fácil de manejar. Lauren, mi asistente legal, fue una verdadera joya. No solo era increíblemente competente y eficiente, sino que también fue muy receptiva a todas mis preguntas e inquietudes. No importaba cuán pequeña fuera mi duda, Lauren siempre estaba allí para ofrecerme claridad y apoyo. ¡Su atención al detalle y compromiso con mi caso marcaron la diferencia! También quiero darle un gran reconocimiento a mi abogada, Nova. Desde el principio, Nova se tomó el tiempo de explicarme el proceso de una manera que me hizo sentir cómodo e informado. Su experiencia y enfoque estratégico eran evidentes, y sabía que estaba en buenas manos. La dedicación de Nova a mi caso y su capacidad para abogar por mis mejores intereses realmente la distinguieron. En general, no puedo recomendar lo suficiente a la oficina de abogados de Rosemarie Arnold. Hicieron que una experiencia desafiante fuera manejable, y estoy increíblemente agradecido por su arduo trabajo y apoyo. ¡Gracias, Lauren y Nova, por todo!

Our case was somewhat challenging and different I would say peeling the onion since there was a lot of intricacies. Everyone's situation is unique this case took a while and we are here.

Kali is that needle in the haystack that you are looking for everywhere - very hard to find a lawyer like her between all the hay that is around here. I have been working with Kali for over a year on a family court case about the best interest of our child and have been successful in every one of my requests because of her. She is very thorough and diligent. She will not forget anything you tell her and is treating your case as if it was her own. She is a very good negotiator and professionally approaches every situation she will be confronted with - she is pulling though and will represent you and your loved ones in every aspect while giving you excellent guidance of where to invest your energy and where to rethink your position. I am referring anybody with a legal problem to her and can guarantee you that you will be glad you contacted her - you want her on your and your children's side! Thank you Kali!

I contacted Mrs. Trahanas a few years ago to aid in representing me in an issue I had with AT&T. I was told by many that my efforts would be fruitless. The many did not know Kali. She worked hard in representing myself, the little guy, vs the Behemoth AT&T. Kali was not only attentive to my plight but truly was empathetic. I have retained the legal services of others in the past but shall not seek the services of another going forward. Besides having an impeccable steel trap legal mind with a keen eye for the proper angles to solve your legal troubles you can’t help but to feel Kali represents you as not only an amazing lawyer with a firm grasp of her craft but as a friend. When your tackling a legal issue there is no better feeling then having a friend besides you in your fight . Two years ago I hired a lawyer, today I not only have a an amazing lawyer but can’t help to feel a friend as well. It’s that personal connection and empathy towards your troubles that places Kali head and shoulders above the rest.

I wanted to share an extremely positive experience I had working with Brian. Not only is he smart and well connected but he is compassionate. I had an issue with some tenants who were law students, and thought they could leave my place in a shambles and not paid 3 months and leave their lease 4 months early. I had originally contacted Brian to handle the eviction, however he went above and beyond to try to solve this for me, and was able to obtain satisfaction out of this unfortunate set of affairs. He took extraordinary steps at his own expense. At each step of the way he let me know what was going on and even though it took a little bit longer but it's only because of the court system. I will certainly use Brian for other things I need in the future such as real estate closings or other business transactions. He is more expensive than other eviction attorneys, but he will come through for you where others fail, and is worth his weight in gold to put things in his capable hands and be able to step back, and get an excellent resolution with someone who really has your back.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Frank Coppa on two real estate transactions (sale & purchase), and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning and throughout the transaction, Frank demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise in real estate law. Frank’s guidance and oversight saw both transactions close in about 30(+-) days. Here why I recommend Frank and will continue to use Frank for my subsequent legal needs: Communication: Frank was always prompt in responding to my queries and kept me informed throughout the entire process. His ability to explain complex legal terms in a way that was easy to understand was incredibly helpful. Professionalism: Throughout our interactions, Frank maintained a high level of professionalism. He was punctual, well-prepared, and always had my best interests at heart. Outcome: Thanks to Franks's diligent work, both transactions went smoothly, and I felt confident every step of the way. His attention to detail ensured that all aspects of the deal were thoroughly reviewed and addressed. Standout Qualities: What stood out the most was Franks's dedication and personalized approach. He took the time to understand my specific needs, breakdown contract language and provided tailored advice that was invaluable. I highly recommend Frank Coppa to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and reliable real estate lawyer. His expertise, experience and commitment to his clients will make you glad you used this firm.

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
