Chris represented me in an auto accident where I was rear ended. This was the third time I have went through being hit from behind so I thought I knew what to expect but things were completely different with Chris. He kept in close touch with us. He took the worry out of the process. He got the case settle for full limits without court and in less than a year. Way less. He is not just an attorney he is a caring person with a sincere heart. Do yourself a favor and have this man fight for you. You will almost feel sorry for the insurance company but don’t. They don’t care about you at all.

I was in the middle of complicated time sharing modification. I attempted to do this myself but once I realized how involved and complicated my case was going to be I knew I needed to get an attorney. After several consultations with attorneys who seemed only to care about money ,telling me it would cost me tens of thousands of dollars, I met with Attorney Chris Nenov. I explained my case and he was not only compassionate he was willing to work with me. I was not simple a paycheck he cared and my child’s future was on the line. Chris took on my case, worked hard and won! (Something others told me i had a 50/50 chance at) He was reassuring, was easy to contact and immediately returned my calls and emails. I would highly recommend Attorney Chris Nenov All day!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart and my child’s heart too !!

After 2 1/2 years of my husband and I trying to handle a legal matter on our own, it was to the point that we needed legal counsel. My husband and I contacted Attorney Szmuc’s and within 3 months of representation, Attorney Szmuc was able to get the lawsuit dismissed and closed. Attorney Szmuc went above and beyond for my husband and I, and we are truly grateful for everything he has done for us. My husband and I can finally breathe and enjoy our life.

Mr. Spivak was retained by my family to assist in an extremely complicated case. After interviewing a number of attorneys, we could not get a straight answer as to what our case entailed. We finally came across Mr. Spivak (he was highly recommended by a close friend of the family) and our troubles were over. Even though Mr. Spivak was incredibly busy with other cases, he always found the time to talk to us and assure us with incredible confidence that we had nothing to worry about. We immediately believed him and trusted him and just as he assured us, he went to the hearing and we prevailed. After arguing our case for a number of hours before the judge, I got a text from him which said "VICTORY". I highly recommend Mr. Spivak. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and delivers results!! Most importantly, he is honest and that unfortunately, is lacking in the legal field today. He is definitely a keeper and this comes from a client who has had really bad luck with finding decent, honest attorneys!

Kamilah is someone who was obviously born to practice law. I have the most complicated real estate/probate case known to man and Kamilah took the time to review my documents and provide expert recommendations. Ultimately, she advised I work with an attorney that focuses on probate and estate planning and put me in touch with a number of trusted referrals. Kamilah's attention to detail, insights, and compassionate nature were precisely what I needed. It's not common for attorneys to invest so much time in a case outside of their core function and it's obvious that she is passionate about the law and people. A true attorney.

I can’t recommend Mr. Hoffman highly enough. From the beginning of my case, he demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and a genuine concern for my well-being. He was always responsive, explaining every step of the process clearly and making sure I felt confident in the decisions we were making. His professionalism and dedication were evident, and his strategic approach helped me achieve the best possible outcome. If you’re looking for an attorney who will fight for your interests while offering compassionate support, Mr. Hoffman and his Legal team is the one to call.

I reached out online for assistance and guidance. After the person, "Sara", asked how much was affected, she refused to take my information. She said they could not be bothered with my case since it was less than $25,000. She only assumed it was less than that amount. Disgraceful how they can violate their oaths as attorneys in helping potential clients. I guess nobody really does care about the "little guys."

I had Mr Martin Hoffmann representing me on a family matter. The case took longer than expected yet the results in the end were as I wished. Also, give thanks to Mrs. Iris Walker for her thorough communication, this made a huge difference, and she responded to all my inquiries during the entire process at all times. Thankful that I chose this law firm and can't recommend it enough.

Over a four-year period of unfortunate incidents, we found ourselves being swallowed by our overwhelming finances. We never wanted to have to resort to filing bankruptcy. It wasn’t something we wanted to do, but it was inevitable. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Two different attorneys affiliated with my brother’s firm recommended Michael Hoffman and said he was the best bankruptcy attorney in South Florida. From my first call to Michael I knew he was a consummate professional with an excellent knowledge of the federal bankruptcy laws and the Florida statutes as it relates to them. He was accessible, professional, patient, and advisory. When we met with Michael in person he explained the process and took the time to answer all our questions, and concerns. The plan to file Chapter 13 was realized and the process began. Going forward Michael, and his staff were available to assist us with any question related to the documents they required from us, so they could prepare the petition to the bankruptcy court. Once Michael filed with the court, about a month later we went before the Trustee, accompanied by Michael, and all went as Michael had described. Recently we received notice our Chapter 13 has been accepted by the court. Since receiving that news, we feel like we can breathe again, free from the worry and uncertainty of our financial future. This all happened without a glitch thanks to Michael’s professionalism and expertise, along with his qualified staff. He knows the court system and how this works. He didn’t let us down. I find him trustworthy, competent, and as his referrers stated, the best bankruptcy attorney in South Florida.

Michael Hoffman’s legal expertise and strategical intelligence gave me my life back. I never thought I would ever have to file bankruptcy – especially at my age, but after a few bad business decisions, there was no other option. Michael Hoffman made this extremely difficult time in my life more palatable. His team was extremely competent and thorough and walked me through the entire process. The amazing part of this is that another attorney tried instilling fear in me about my financial situation and told me that certain things couldn’t be done. A friend of mine connected me with Michael Hoffman and after talking with him, I fired the other attorney. Michael was able to make all the things the other attorney said couldn’t happen come to fruition. Through this situation I learned that you must hire an attorney that specializes in his craft – they are not all created equally. Michael Hoffman is hands down the best.

This attorney threatened my agency and lawsuit for leaving honest review. I was scammed by IDIcore for 2,000. I was threatened by email to remove my review or this attorney would sue me. Just read his threatening letter. I would not hire him. He does not represent me. This is my experience by phone and email. I do not like to be bullied. I am victim of their over billing and they threatened to sue me for leaving a review.

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.
