Mr. Baig had already reviewed documents I provided when I scheduled the consultation appointment. He had already written a detailed summary of the documents and potential civil claims. The consultation was spent reviewing the effort he had already spent. I received a great deal of value for the consultation fee.

I would like to highly recommend Mr. Khurram Baig! He addressed all the questions that my wife and I asked him. He listens closely and carefully explains everything in detail. He shows genuine concern and is also very knowledgeable. We were able to tackle a wide range of legal issues, and we felt respected and supported. Mr. Baig’s office is easy to find and is very clean and professional. I highly encourage anyone with legal questions to consult Khurram Baig!

We used Mr Baig's services in a tenant/landlord dispute. He provided a detailed breakdown of the relevant laws and our rights within the law. He also provided us with different scenarios to consider in choosing the best course of action. His legal advice was impeccable. It was my first experience using his services and I would do it again. If you are in need of legal consultation and/or representation that is attentive, detail oriented, supportive and effective, look no further. Mr Baig provides outstanding legal services.

I would most definitely recommend Mr Oloko as an expert tax preparer and lawyer. I went to the Oloko law firm for my tax prep and was very happy with the service provided. I’ve always used online tax services to file my taxes, but with my 401k early disbursement and other new situations in my life I felt it was necessary to seek professional expertise and that’s what I got at the Oloko law firm. Not only did Mr Oloko apply the appropriate tax laws, he informed and explained the tax laws to me which made me confident that he knew what he was doing. I was also informed of other tax benefits I could have received from my previous year’s filing – so not only do I feel confident about this years’ tax situation, I can also receive benefits from previous online tax filing errors I made in ignorance. I did not feel rushed or cajoled in making decisions and everything was done in a timely manner. You bet that I’m also using the Oloko Law firm for a business legal situation that I have and so far I have nothing but great things to say. He takes the time to explain situations and facts and that makes me feel empowered as a client.

No kidding, Hector made the state's attorneys look like morons. He is completely likable in and out of court. I thought I had a strong case but Hector did not let me down. I would reccomend him to anyone who does not want to cop a plea but has a defense and wants their attorney to fight for them. The guy is soft spoken but he is any artist in the courtroom.

Barry Zimmerman and his team helped me immensely in various proceedings. They take the time to get to know the details of each case on a personal level and Barry even writes down the notes of the case as presented by hand to ensure everything is recorded properly. The team and him are very knowledgeable about the law and know what it takes to get the results that you are looking for. I would highly recommend them in any legal matters that may unfortunately come up in your life. Thank you for everything Zimmerman & Associates.

Words can’t even begin to describe how truly amazing Mr. Zimmerman and his son Brad are. I’ve unfortunately had my fair share of struggles but Berry and Brad truly make you feel no shame or embarrassment and they really treat you and every case top priority. They’re always available via text, email, call , or even an in person visit. They respond quickly and efficiently with great advice, attention and communication. I will NEVER use another law firm. They are truly worth every cent. Nice genuine gentleman who really are interested in getting what’s best for YOU. No matter your situation I highly HIGHLY recommend you give them a call at the very least. Thank you Zimmerman family, you’re one of the few that make me feel okay in a scary situation.

Mr. samms helped my husband and I through my adjustment of status. From the beginning of my journey he asked very essential questions to determine the difficulty we would have to adjust my status. He was very responsive and communicative. He answered all our questions and concerns in a timely matter. He was also very friendly and made us both feel comfortable and at ease throughout the process. There’s wasn’t even a second where we doubted his abilities as a lawyer. He assembled all our documents in such a great way that we weren’t require to provide additional documents at our interview. I would definitely recommend his service. Thank you again Mr. Samms.

Mr. Richard Samms listened to my problem regarding a Settlement that I was really stressing about. He handled my request for direction and paperwork to solve the problem because I did not know what to do. He worked with me with good effective communications to craft the language needed to end this situation. He has also made himself available for any follow-up that is needed. He makes me feel like he is really on my side, I appreciate him.

Tamorra created our nonprofit corporation and also got approved our 501c3 status. I initially considered doing all this myself but am glad that I met Tamorra first. After our initial conversation, I felt in good hands and know she made the whole process much smoother than if I had done all of it myself. Several years later, if I ever have a question, she is very receptive and always gives me a straight answer. She is also very supportive of nonprofit organizations and understands the challenges we face. I highly recommend Tamorra for any legal services.

I used Mr. Osborne for business for some years back whenI was running a business. He was always very responsive to my requests and very diligent in dealing with the matters at hand. This included litigation whiere I always found him to be very astute.We never lost a case where he represented us.. He was even able to extract us from a perilous situation we were in because of the inadequacy of previous representation. I have used him personally to draw new Wills for my wife and I beacuse of changes in the Estate Tax Law. In addition I have recommended him to several other people. They were all please with his representation.

I hired Mr. Osborne to handle a car accident where I was not at fault. Not only did Mr. Osborne handle my case with professionalism, he went above and beyond to ensure that I felt heard and that the damages to my car and were handled properly and that I was also compensated for the major inconvenience the accident caused. He was always available for my questions and concerns and helped me receive exactly what I deserved for my totaled car. Because of this phenomenal representation, my husband and I hired Mr. Osborne again to help us regarding our new home and an issue with our contractor. Again, Mr. Osborne was at our beck and call, making sure we were compensated properly. He answered every question promptly and thoroughly. We always felt heard and prioritized. Mr. Osborne is always warm, kind, and professional and one of the most supportive people I’ve had the honor to know. I recommend Mr. Osborne with the highest endorsement and enthusiasm.

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.
