Reid was fantastic and provided me with peace of mind. A person can't place a dollar value on that. His time and patience with me was outstanding. Lawyers have a known reputation that isn't always positive and Reid is positively the exception not the rule.
He was always a phone call away and kept me well informed. I cannot say enough good things about this mans knowledge in his field. Thank you Reid!!

Reid was not only thorough and concise but he took the time to really figure out our needs. He made my sister and I feel like we were his only clients, and since it was a stressful time for us, that was a nice addition. I would recommend Reid over and over again!

Reid handled my property damage/insurance case with utmost professionalism, competence, confidence and transparency. He helped me get a favorable outcome before going to court. He was on top of it everything, along the way. He communicated very frequently and explaining all steps involved in a very detailed manner. Couldn't be more appreciated. There were never any surprises. I would definitely use Reid's representation in the future if needed. Look no further.

Stephen Hammers was a referral from another lawyer who could not represent my case, and I approached hiring Steve with some anxiety because I had always applied the skills of the referring lawyer over the past many years. I had no previous knowledge of Steve's work, and hoped that this referral was a solid recommendation. My matter was involved, and the case appeared to be risky. In fact, the referring lawyer (my long time friend) advised me that I stood little chance of prevailing. All that I knew was that I was in the right, and that a good lawyer might be able to prevail. Steve was cautious about giving me any hope at first, but he could see clear pathways to defeating the defendants. He applied his boundless energy to the intellect and resourcefulness that has made him such a superstar in Orange County, and we worked together in an efficient yet highly effective manner to hone the case. His persistence along certain lines of advice that at times were lost on me became invaluable to the direction that the case took, and we developed a momentum that was itself very effective for our success. While we spent time and effort on certain details, Steve never appeared to delay nor overstudy any point. At no time did I ever have the slightest doubt that he had my best interests as his own, and that he was keeping the billing as low as practicable without creating any new difficulties. He predicted a wide variety of events which all came to pass as he described, and portrayed undesirable outcomes that we avoided altogether largely because of how well he articulated their potential negative impacts to me. He kept or improved the calendar originally set, and maintained in his keen mind each item of concern and advantage without the level of discussion that I had anticipated. In fact, he demonstrated extraordinary capacity to divine the intentions and thought patterns of each defendant, whom he never met, better than I ever could and I had known each for over ten years. We prevailed in what I term a "100% victory" over the defendants. Steve took it all in stride, and yet I cannot ever say enough to express my appreciation of his character, his professionalism, his friendship to me during rough periods, and his overall value to the legal profession. He is what ANY client would hope for when life events require legal counsel or representation. I am not a litigious individual, but he was right there when I needed the right lawyer, and I am forever grateful to him and the staff that he has deservedly assembled around him. He is an inspiration to me, and I am quite certain that he will continue to serve as an inspiration to those who need the best lawyer! He is a superb human being, and I am able to enjoy my life day by day going forward simply because of his formidable skills and sharp focus as my lawyer when I needed his help.

I called Stephen G. Hammers to handle a real estate transaction for me because I was having problems reaching an agreement with another party. From the beginning, Mr. Hammers put my mind at ease by telling me what to expect, exlained the procedure and my options and offered some very useful suggestions in going forward with my case. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and answered all my questions. Mr. Hammers also kept my best interests in mind. He did his absolute best and got me the outcome I wanted. I am extremely satisfied with his service.

We reside in New Jersey and had an issue with a California rehabilitation facility that refused to appropriately refund to us a large amount of money. Although the facility was horrible, we did not want to get into a lawsuit with them, we just wanted our refund. Mr. Hammers listened to our situation, acted quickly and appropriately on our behalf, and resolved the matter just as we had hoped. We found he and his staff a pleasure to work with, always responding to our inquiries and asking our opinions on how we wished to proceed. We believe that Mr. Hammers' excellent reputation was why our situation was settled quickly, the opposing counsel simply did not want to battle him in court. The attorney fees charged were explained to us up front, and the fees were fair and accurate. We knew nothing about attorneys in California. Stephen G. Hammers was recommended to us from a friend of a friend, and we got lucky. I was a legal secretary for many years, and my husband and I have had to deal with a few legal issues over the years, and I can honestly say that Stephen G. Hammers was one of the best attorneys with whom we have ever worked. If you need a lawyer in California, in our experience, Mr. Hammers is the best, and if he does not handle whatever type of law you need, I would completely trust his recommendations. We never had the pleasure to meet Mr. Hammers in person, but from our phone conversations and correspondence I would have to say he just seemed like a really great guy!

After charging with a DUI, I searched for a lawyer that I can trust and rely on to defend me. I stumble on the Anthony Marcus Law Firm on Yelp. I was really amazed with the good reviews I was reading about attorney Marcus. I then went to other links that show more outstanding reviews. I, there and then decided to contact him, the reviews were really accurate, he was friendly, patient and explained all the steps of navigating the court regarding my case. I meet with him afterward. Immediately, I observed his confident and his knowledge of the law. He truly changed my anxiety to calmness. Not only he did what he said he will do, he is affordable. He gave me a discount after he initially gave me a good price compare to other attorneys’ quotes. When he appeared in court, Mr. Marcus immediately communicated with the DA and the court and got me a good deal from the court with no jail time even though my case involved property damages to others. I recommend him to my friend and he also was very accommodating. I highly recommend this honest and genuine lawyer to anyone in need of effective representation.

MR. MARCUS DISMISSED MY CASE AFTER 20 MINUTES WITH DA NEGOTIATION
Let me start by saying that Mr. Marcus saved my life. I was falsely accused and charged with misdemeanor (Battery). I had hired 2 different attorneys and none of them helped me to prove my innocence.
God lead me to Mr. Marcus and he immediately accepted my case. I knew that it was one of the best decisions I have ever made! I was feeling like my world was falling apart, he helped me regain a sense of peace and he was always there for me, he treated me like family and made me feel secure.
Mr. Marcus has a firm understanding of the law and how the system works.
He is very knowledgeable in his profession. He was entirely compassionate during this difficult time. Mr. Marcus is truly a lawyer you can count on, I can definitely say that he is an exceptional attorney, who goes above and beyond for his clients. He is professional, trustworthy, and extremely diligent.
Mr. Marcus is the epitome of what you call a "GENTLEMAN Lawyer." He is the perfect balance of kindness, professionalism and humanity at its finest. He advocates for me with veracity, truth and an untiring meticulousness to doing the BEST work for me.
Mr. Marcus sees not just me, but he also SEES the family/loved ones that stand behind the accused... he advocates compassionately and UNTIRINGLY for ALL parties affected by tragic events. And, has the wisdom to work diplomatically and firmly with the opposing party. There is a RESPECT that emanates and is INNATE to Attorney Anthony Marcus. In a world gone mad and blinded by the darkness of humanity, HE is the beacon of hope, respect and humanity for all. If you are looking for exceptional representation I would totally recommend this real man. I would recommend Mr. Marcus to any and everyone! His prices are reasonable and he will fight for you.
MR. MARCUS DISMISSED MY CASE AFTER 20 MINUTES WITH DA NEGOTIATION.
He stayed true to his word and got my entire case dismissed for about a year I was really stressed couldn't really live life thinking the worst.
Thank you Mr. Marcus for your unwavering dedication to my cause. You are "An Angel in disguise." You are BLESSING. And, I assure you, that we will pay your infinite kindness FORWARD. Thank you & God bless you to keep fighting the good fight.
I’m eternally grateful

Once again, Linda has come to my rescue. Earlier this year I was issued a speeding ticket from Anaheim Police Department (doing 65 in a 35.) I was worried that my insurance was going to go through the roof due to this violation.
I contacted Linda, sent her my citation and I didn’t think twice about it. Linda kept me informed every step of the way - when she got court appearance extensions, when she was attending my arraignment and when she attended my trial. Of course, she was able to get my case DISMISSED!!
LINDA IANNELLI IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO!!!!!

I found Mr. Morasse through Avvo, and I am thankful that I did. I have talked several other real estate lawyers regarding my issue. I found him to be more knowledgeable, competent and responsive than others. He listened to me patiently over the phone and answered all of my questions. I didn't feel rushed to ask him questions. He made me feel that he is a very genuine person who cares about his client. I STRONGLY recommend Steve Morasse for any real estate issues you have.

I located Mr. Morasse through Avvo, and I am thankful that I did. He is a terrific lawyer, and he saved us a lot of trouble. I contacted Mr. Morasse on Friday and he got the lawsuit filed against me dismissed on Monday. He was smart, easy to work with and his rates were very reasonable. I would strongly recommend him. He was able to solve a very serious issue for us fast and he really cared about us.

He works exceedingly harder than the lot of lawyers out there and is an expert. He has an admirable and fun sense of humor that we enjoyed throughout his representation of us. My husband is on Active Duty in the military and I am a veteran. We were blessed to find Steve on an emergency recommendation from our valued new realtor. Our case was in shambles from a previous lawyer and Steve was kind enough to not only take it over mid swing and repair it, but he was also able to settle everything out of court. He rescued us from being stuck with a full mortgage on an enlisted military salary for an uninhabitable home. He is wise, forthright, ethical and a champion. He is a one of a kind lawyer.

I just wanted to profusely thank Steve Fink for helping my client through a very sticky real estate situation!!! He is amazing & I highly recommend him :)
Last week, I had a seller deny an inspector access to his property, which caused my buyer to be late on her closing. The seller threatened to cancel the escrow and keep the buyer's deposit, while he knew the reason we could not close was because the inspector was not allowed back in.
I called CAR legal, and was beyond disappointed when they told me there was nothing that could be done past day 17 to force a seller allow additional inspections, even if they were follow up. Seriously??? Nothing??!! In desperation I went to Steve because I knew this was not fair, he has dealt with thousands of contracts, and he would have an angle. Within hours, Steve had a letter beautifully written and emailed to the stubborn seller. The next day the seller let the inspector in (it was over an FHA loan requirement for smoke detectors in every bedroom of all things!) and the buyer was able to get her loan funded.
I gave her the keys today, and this is all thanks to Steve's knowledge and quick action to help a deserving person in need. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

I recently was considering restructuring our company as well as hiring two senior executives for which I needed customized employment contracts. I was referred to Brian through a friend and was a little hesitant because I knew his specialty was real estate law. However, after meeting with him I was confident that I was in good hands. My desire to restructure was based on a previous consultation with another attorney. Brian was unconvinced, so he consulted with a colleague with experience in the type of corporate structuring. He then meticulously outlines the potential advantages and disadvantages as well as the cost implications. The end result is that we avoided a extremely costly restructuring and walked away with two strong employment contracts.

Brian was fantastic in the support he provided me and my company in our lease dispute. He clearly was an expert in this field of practice and provided me with expert direction and most importantly comfort in how the process would unfold. His expertise and the comfort it provided me in our course of action allowed me to focus on the needs of the business and not get distracted by a legal matter. Brian's patience and bedside manner in educating me about the process was much appreciated. I would highly recommend Brian!

I work for a commercial real estate firm in the Inland Empire and I have used Brian's services to help my clients. Brian is very trustworthy and very responsive, I have always found him to be quick and accurate in his responses.

I've worked with Jeff for all my business needs, e.g. contracts, legal advices, etc. for the past few years. What I found unique about Jeff is that he's extremely knowledgeable, yet very humble and if he's not 100% sure about something, he does his research and gets back to you. He also really cares about your needs and treats you as friend rather than just a client. Most importantly, he's very responsive and always responds back to my emails/calls within very reopenable time.
Thank you Jeff

Elham did a great job on my case. I was extremely concerned about losing my earnest deposit due to a contract cancelation but, Elham assured me that I would not lose any. She helped write a letter to the seller's attorney. Elham is a very ethical attorney and will explain everything in detail to you. She will do whatever it takes to help you and I would highly recommend him!

Elham was there for me every step of the way and she was phenomenal! She answered many of my questions before I officially became a client, but once I signed on, she quickly got my paperwork in order, walked me through the tough parts, and answered my texts/e-mails/phone calls every single time I needed her. She is very knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process. From the very first phone call, I felt safe, like I could trust whatever she said. I am forever grateful she was able to help me through this difficult situation.

Bob was referred to me by a dear trusted friend. I purchased a commercial property in 2013 along with 3 other individuals. Those 3 individuals were related to each other, not to me. 3 years later 2 of the 3 individuals approached me about selling my interest to them for $30,000. We had each invested $25,000. I declined their offers. Little did I know my 3 partners had already consulted with realtors, it turned out the property had over a half a million dollars in equity on an initial $100,000 joint investment. I found out months later the property was in escrow and I was never consulted or advised of the sale. These two brothers and their father intended to keep my initial investment and my more than $100,000 profit. You see one of the brothers is an attorney who thinks he is always the smartest guy in the room. It turns out that "Dim Bulb" attorney was no match for Bob Bright. Bob's last name is an incredible accurate adjective for who he is. Bob had 4 business days to effectively secure a temporary restraining order on escrow from the civil court. Escrow closed as scheduled all of the liens and third parties were satisfied and over a half a million dollars remained in the possession of the court. Litigation went on for an entire year. Bob was 10 steps ahead of my conspiring ex-partners at every stage. Bob's research on case law was amazing. My ex-partner, the attorney, was completely out matched. Bob ultimately negotiated a settlement prior to trial. I am not allowed to disclose the terms of the settlement. What I can disclose is that after Bob's fees were paid, my proceeds were far beyond what I would have received had my partners included me in the sale proceedings and not tried to abscond my investment and profit. The bad news is that my ex-partner the attorney will get to keep his law license for now. Bob Bright is beyond honest and he is always accessible.

I can't say enough about how amazing Ms. Howse is as a person and as an attorney. I retained Ms. Howes's services along with my 2 siblings during a really terrible time in our lives we had just lost our father and now needed to embark upon litigation against our fathers wife due to her intentionally interfering with our inheritance. Amy was so incredibly compassionate and understanding. She was incredibly thorough and patient with us because we had no clue what we were getting ourselves into. Amy walked us through every step of the way for almost 3 years. Hands down this was one of the hardest things I have ever had to go through but I never felt lack of support from Amy. She was open to hearing our thoughts and long winded explanations at times. She was protective of us when opposing counsel was attempting to bully us she was right there to back him down. She worked tirelessly and efficiently as we are young adults trying to fund a very expensive law suit. I would retain Amy as my attorney again a minute no questions asked her and her firm were incredible!!! I can’t thank Amy enough for all she did for me and my siblings!!!

I live in NJ and had to hire Amy Howse and the Peterson firm strictly through a phone call. Amy immediately gained my confidence through her ability to listen, ask relevant questions in a non judging manner. She was able to grasp all the different aspects of a complex case, build the right defense and ultimately negotiated a very good settlement. She was always available to discuss my questions, provide a point of view and help me to make an unemotional decision. She provided the right level of empathy and reality for me.
I would highly recommend Amy.

And even if he cannot help you he will listen to you and he will do his best to point you in the right direction, unlike other lawyers that just say they can't help and good luck he goes the extra mile, above and beyond what everyone else does. I just wish there were more Scott Rockwell Carpenters out there because the world would be a better place. Thanks again for everything!

After I had been the victim of unconscionable (excessive) billing and negligence in provision of legal services by another attorney, Mr. Klein quickly negotiated a settlement to my great satisfaction.
He promptly evaluated my case, determined strategy, and secured a result which exceeded expectations—for billing which was extremely fair.
In conversations with Mr. Klein my anxiety and doubt was greatly relieved. In discussing details about your case with Mr. Klein, there will be no doubt as to their meaning, nor will you have any lingering doubt regarding the overall progress of your case.
Mr. Klein’s manner is tough, direct, and refreshingly assuring. If you are so fortunate to be represented by him, you will be pleased with Mr. Klein, his law firm, and their care and effectiveness on your behalf.

Since he took my case, he has been there for me all the time. First, he explained the whole procedure step by step because this is my first accident involving a lawyer. Second, he called to check up on my doctor's visits. Third, he was very responsive on any of my dumb questions. Lastly, I was able to experience a great financial settlement, they had my insurance company issue a check for the high blue book value on my car plus reimburse me for the accessories that I purchased on my car including tires, floor mats, prorated tags, etc.,. This is what you call full service, we are now waiting on the medical and loss of income settlement check next week which amount had exceeded our expectations.

Adam Hoover has represented me in two matters, and I cannot speak highly enough of him. In a business related matter that was extremely stressful, Adam was accessible, always returned phone calls promptly, and helped me to feel confident that my case was in the right hands. He resolved the matter quickly and positively for me. In a second case, a family matter, Adam went to work quickly to provide me with necessary resources and provide the same knowledgeable, competent help he had in the first case. This case was also resolved quickly and better than I had anticipated. Adam has a strong work ethic, an excellent knowledge of the law, and passion for justice. I highly recommend him!

I have been in the unfortunate position of having to pursue litigation several times in my career when my property has been damaged. A silver lining in this cloudy process has been the opportunity to work with Adam Hoover. In my experience, stretching back over more than six years and multiple cases, Adam has consistently demonstrated excellent performance on many levels. While by and large, all lawyers have attended law school and passed the bar examination, not all of them have legal minds which innately grasp, interpret and apply the law to the set of facts particular to a given case. This quality is more than simply an enviable skill; it bears directly upon a client's experience during the litigation experience and ultimately the cost burden born by the client. This manifests in reductions of redundant work, excessive research and surplus discovery. In addition to the time and cost savings associated with thoroughly understanding issues and applicable laws in a case, Adam is mindful of the financial burden costly litigation places on clients. I never felt that Adam “nickel and dimed" me or overbilled me in any way. In fact, I know he is very conservative with his time keeping and while accurate, certain items on the bill are marked "no charge".
Adam clearly places my best interest, as a client, as his top priority. He has demonstrated a consistent willingness to try to win my cases early in the lawsuit lifecycle. He has achieved an impressive level of success to those ends. That not only saves me the cost of protracted discovery and trials in some instances, but also allows me to devote my efforts to growing my business rather than litigating. Although he could bill three or four times more fees by taking a case through discovery and trial, he places his ethical obligation to zealously represent me above his personal profit motive.
The last but certainly not least important area where Adam has distinguished himself in my experience is his accessibility. Even when he has other cases going to trial or experiencing a producing a heavy workload he still responds quickly to messages I leave and takes the time to answer my questions. Due to his outstanding legal ability, conscientious regard for his client’s well being and high ethical standards, i have, and will continue to recommend him to my friends and associates who find themselves in need of representation and can’t afford to lose.

During my initial consultation Mr. Fahrney took the time to get familiar with the facts of my case. What impressed me was when he told me he would need to get back to me after doing some research based on all the facts presented. How often will you find an attorney willing to walk away from a retainer? He got back to me promptly. As soon as he was retained Mr. Fahrney worked diligently on my case. He was responsive to my inquiries, kept me informed, and always took my desired-outcome into consideration. Less than one month later, the case settled. I highly recommended Mr. Fahrney. He is a very honest and compassionate attorney which explains why he very much respected by his peers.

Cyrus Neek created our LLC and performed the various legal work needed to setup our startup company. The business we started is a software company where we create and sell our own software products/apps and do third-party contract work for clients.
He created an Operating Agreement between me and my business partner where he took care of our concerns about the transfer and assignment of interests, dispute resolution, membership interests, voting and management. He also created an IP Assignment Agreement for me and my business partner that allowed us to put what we had completed before the start of our business into the company, properly. Lastly, he performed an Independent Contractor/Non-Disclosure/Intellectual Property all-in-one agreement for any independent contractors we hire to make sure that whatever work they do for us legally belongs to us for use in our products.
Cyrus was very diligent in his work and answered all of our questions promptly and was always available on call for any concerns we had. He did a great job for us in making sure our startup was setup correctly … our company got what it needed to safely and securely do business and we’re going to get his assistance in filing for our trademark names and logos.

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.
