Mark Wilson is the best attorney I have ever worked with. Mark and his team were extremely professional and empathetic in their approach to our situation. They are very efficient with their time and extremely knowledgeable. One of the most impressive things to me was the fact that they provided a budget after initially reviewing our case, and in the end they spent a few dollars less that they had budgeted. That HAS NEVER HAPPEN in all the years I have dealt with a number of attorney’s!! Our case centered on a fee dispute with another law firm, and was resolved to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend Mark and his team to anyone.

When looking for a law firm to represent our east coast business in a lawsuit against it in LA, we were looking for a smaller, highly skilled firm to defend our business. We were impressed by the recommendations we found for Klein & Wilson, and we were not disappointed. Mike LeBoff and Brian Kelly showed themselves to be very skilled and practical litigation attorneys who provided stellar service in getting the claim dismissed. They also were very mindful in working to keep fees under control.

Additionally, Bernstein Law kept my legal costs at a minimum. Without any reservation, I strongly recommend Berstein Law to anyone or any business seeking legal advice, help, and/or representation.

Jillyn was over the top giving towards me and supported me during a very rough time. I wasn’t even her client, I just had questions. She took the time, created space for me to ask questions, and treated my 90 year-old father with respect. Not many people like her in the world. Thank you Jillyn for being a lovely person and doing things from your heart.

Jeff Roberts and his team were smart and professional in handling our case. Moreover, they were persistent, collaborative and open to exploring all strategies, which ultimately translated to favorable settlement. Jeff is a great listener and explains legal topics clearly and thoroughly to facilitate decision-making. Billing and financial tracking were straight forward - no surprises. Jeff also kept us updated regularly and would invite meetings either in person, or remotely, as appropriate. We appreciated the flexibility to touch base remotely for quick decisions that needed to be made throughout the process. We definitely would recommend Roberts-Jeandron Law.

HARMONY IS TRULY AMAZING!! It is safe to assume that anyone searching for an attorney is probably not in the best season of their life. In most cases, representation is needed at a time of vulnerability, fear, and often pain. It is in this state that I sought counsel. At that point, I had worked with two different lawyers who seemed to lack empathy and understanding of my circumstances. Then I found Harmony and MKH Accident Attorneys. Not only did Harmony have expert knowledge and ability to navigate the intricacies of the Legal and Court system, she also validated my experiences. She believed me and made me feel like I wasn’t alone for the first time in all of my legal challenges. Harmony worked tirelessly and helped me to achieve the very best outcome. I cannot even express how unbelievably grateful I am that an Attorney like Harmony even exists, let alone how blessed I feel to have had her by my side through this very difficult time of my life.

I am grateful to Marianne Dawson-Man for her exceptional assistance in handling my late relative’s estate. We faced a complex situation with back taxes, and I was worried about the financial impact on the estate. Marianne Dawson-Man provided expert guidance, meticulously reviewed the tax issues, and discovered significant savings opportunities. Her strategic approach not only resolved the back tax issues efficiently but also saved the estate a considerable amount of money.

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.
