Chris and Jean are awesome to work with. My parents-in-law, who are in their 80s, were injured by a car (sun blinded) while walking on a pedestrian crossing. They were quite stressed about how to proceed with the case. Fortunately we found Chris. Chris clearly laid out each step of the case and what are the possible outcomes and then guided us through the whole process with tremendous amount of patience and compassion. Chris and Jean always kept us up-to-date with the progress, helped with acquiring the necessary documents from the hospital, doctors, insurance, etc. and even took the time to visit my in-laws to deliver files. Their professionalism eased the anxiety of the whole family. The case was quickly settled and my in-laws are very happy with the settlement, which exceeded their expectation. I highly recommend Chris and his team.

Chris and his staff were very thorough and provided a great experience for someone who had never been involved in a case. Chris walked me through the process, explaining each step. I felt completely prepared and ready for my deposition. My case was resolved in a timely manner and my husband and I were very happy that we had Chris to assist us every step of the way.

I can't say enough about the wonderful service that Bob provided during a very stressful situation. We had hired another attorney to transfer property and set up an LLC and this attorney, we later learned, was completely incompetent. Bob was referred to us and without hesitation stepped into the paperwork disaster left by the former attorney. He tenaciously worked to rectify our dilemma, he thoroughly explained the situation we were in, he was always available to answer any questions we had for him and was able to rectify our state of affairs in a timely, professional manner. I would recommend this attorney without hesitation.

Keith Brown (of Stuckert and Yates) just finished helping my wife and me revise and fine tune our estate planning documents. Ten years ago, upon the arrival of a granddaughter, Keith overhauled our original will (by a different law firm twenty years prior). Now, our lives and family having further developed, and thinking we were more knowledgeable and had “better informed” questions, it was time to revisit the task.
After reviewing our existing plan and exploring current options, we found the 10-year-old framework Keith had crafted was steady and prepared for the foreseeable future. Some names and addresses had changed, but the plan’s provisions and protections were everything we wanted.
Keith was a pleasure to work with throughout the process. He was professional, pleasant, quite knowledgeable, and very patient with our questions.

I worked with Vishal Petigara recently, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the start, he was super professional and really easy to talk to. He took the time to listen to my situation, explained things clearly, and made sure I understood all my options.
What I really appreciated about Vishal was how he stayed on top of everything and kept me updated throughout the process. He didn’t just treat me like another case—he genuinely cared about helping me get the best result.
Thanks to his hard work, I got a great outcome, and I honestly don’t think I could have done it without him. If you’re looking for a lawyer who knows their stuff and actually cares, I’d definitely recommend Vishal.

Hired the attorney to perform work unrelated to his line of expertise and he accepted at a very high hourly rate. Charged my credit card 3 times and has not performed any work in over 4 months.
Have filed a case of credit card theft in West Windsor Township and am actively engaged with the police and the local Bar association to bring this lawyer to justice.
Stay away from this lawyer. Be forewarned he will steal from anybody he can lay his hands on.

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.
