We came to Haas & Zaltz upon a recommendation to get educated on estate planning. We found Ari Zaltz to very knowledgeable as well as patient and happy to explain anything we needed extra help understanding. We made a follow-up appointment and found his associate equally knowledgeable. We never felt rushed and felt confident we were getting good advice. Their staff is very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. We are extremely pleased with our experience.

Words can’t express our gratitude for the great work by the entire staff at this office. Our family experienced a major crisis and reached out to this office. Rachel quickly connected me to Deatra A. who was empathetic and supportive. She worked efficiently to get the team (Miriam, Tova, Chaya, Shoshana) to provide the necessary services. We highly recommend Mr. Haas & Mr. Zaltz and their wonderful staff. This is a law office with a heart. Thank you.

Steven and his team were extremely responsive to my questions and concerns.
There was not a time that Steven did not respond to any of my questions the same day. It took 18 months for my case to be settled and he kept in the loop the entire time.
If it wasn’t for Steven’s kindness, I don’t think I could have done it.

The attorneys at Gordon Law were there when I needed them. Bryan was very responsive and Steven fought hard to make sure that I was treated fairly and got what I was entitled to. He always took time to explain what was going on and why. I highly recommend Gordon Law to anyone who needs a lawyer who will have your back.

My experience with Gouchev Law has been nothing shy of excellent. As a small business owner with very little knowledge in the field of law, I searched for a law firm that could both provide me with insight to the best course of action and also execute upon that plan. With Gouchev Law, I felt that immediately as they had me in their best interest and has become a firm that I can trust and rely on for whatever my business needs as it continues to grow.

I have known Michael for over 20 years. He has always been a man of his word and has always gone out of his way to help people, especially those in need of help.
Additionally, Michael is an absolutely phenomenal attorney and has handled multiple cases for myself, as well as my friends and family. Anyone I speak to who mentions that they need an attorney I always refer to Michael because I know he will stop at nothing to do the best job possible for his clients. Michael has an unwavering sense of ethics as well as a natural inclination to help people. I can attest that myself, my family, and my friends not only feel comfortable working with Michael and his colleagues, but always look forward to working with them as well.

I highly recommend Attack that Ticket for handling moving violations. I drive fast cars and invevitably get 1 or 2 tickets each year for speeding or whatever. This used to cause me a lot of stress. Now I just e-mail a copy of the violation to Attack That Ticket and send them a check for a few hundred bucks. They take care of everything from there. Although there are no guarantees they always manage to reduce the charge so that I don't get any points on my license. Sometimes they get the charges dropped completely! I don't have to waste time and energy going to court and dealing with all the bureaucracy. Getting tickets is a drag. But whenever I use Attack That Ticket I feel like I'm investing in my peace of mind. For the cost of a dinner my ticket woes are eliminated.

highly recommended. I have been included in a number of class action lawsuits with Leeds. First thing- they have an lovely secretary who picks up the phone right away. In an age of tapping on numbers to get to different deptartments, this just makes life easier. I have been in touch with Dave Mayo a number of times who answered all my questions thoroughly as if he had all the time in the world. If you want boutique service, I highly recimmend Leeds!!!

Intimidating was the word that came to mind before conversing with Michael. Once I could discuss it with Michael, all of my fear disappeared. He is smart and explained to me most simply yet without being condescending. He went through each potential move and possible outcome depending on which activity I chose with his guidance. He broke down what my case could be worth through a process where he asked me some questions and then answered them on the spot. Michael emailed me often, more than an attorney at his level would typically do. He also listened. He was neither dismissive nor rude throughout my experience with him or his firm. I am happy I chose their firm and moved out of the way for them to handle something that seemed impossible, yet here we are. If clients want to be given the runaround and pushed to the back, you should not reach out to this firm. Once Michael worked his magic, it no longer mattered if we went to court and won, went to court and lost, or settled because the weight lifted off my body from my experience was priceless. However, if you want an honest and educated opinion from expert trial attorneys, well, in that case, you should contact Michael and his team. Finally, no amount of money could ever replace what Michael and his firm did for me emotionally. My case is in the process of settling, and I know that Michael and his team will be compensated for doing precisely what they said they would, but I will always be in their debt.

Adam is one of those rare lawyers that instills immediate confidence in even a chaotic situation, usually as he's giving you exactly the right advice on how to bring it back under control. Sharp as a tack, extremely knowledgable in his domain, and a pleasure to talk to, Adam is an honest broker and a relationship-centered entertainment lawyer who is able to quickly grasp your individual situation and provide guidance in the context of your entire business.
As a production company owner, nothing is more important than an attourney who understands the intricately interlocking parts of your business: talent contracts, MSA's with brands, negotiations with agencies, insurance, industry reputation, IP Law, etc. etc. etc. but I have always found Adam to understand each of these subjects in the context of the others.
He contracts quickly, bills fairly, and is easy to reach almost immediately. I have worked with quite a few lawyers in my time, but Adam stands head and shoulders above them. I give the strongest possible recommendation.

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.
