Sharon was the first attorney I have ever retained and I'm pleased to say that my experience was fantastic! I was looking for a prenup and the matter was time sensitive. Sharon struck the perfect balance between advocating for me and understanding what I was looking to achieve out of the document. She made me feel at ease when discussing my personal situation and life circumstances. She made sure I understood what I was agreeing to and was flexible during the process. Fee structure was more than reasonable. I am so glad I chose Sharon and give her my highest recommendation.

I met with Sharon for a consultation on a Child Support case. I had been preparing for a few weeks and had documents ready to turn over for a professional to take it and run with in court. Sharon met with me for an hour though I scheduled for 30 minutes. Reviewed my docs and provided invaluable guidance…then sent me on my way to represent myself. While it was the last vote of confidence I needed, it was also a display of nobility: at times like this we are willing to do and pay anything for our children but Sharon didn’t even think about a check and I’m sure her hour of time is worth a lot. I had what I needed and the priceless tweaks and advice Sharon gave helped me get everything I wanted and then some AS the defendant! This is the only review I’ve ever done AND I’ve included my name because I want all to know of the authenticity of this attorney; World-class! If you are in need of representation, I definitely recommend her…can only imagine what she can do in court herself if her guidance accomplishes so much.

We used John Bove's services twice, when buying our home and eventually selling it. He's a phenomenal attorney and very easy to work with. His supporting staff is very helpful as well, acting quickly to solve problems before they even happen. I would readily trust them again with any real estate transaction.

Probably the best lawyer to use when you're closing on a home. This is my second transaction using John and I couldn't be happier. We initially canceled when buying a home since my father unexpectedly passed away; John said to not worry paying him anything and sent his condolences. Since that day I've been back for two more transactions and it all worked out beautifully. His staff is amazing too: Lisa, Vicki and Sue. Highly recommended.

I was in a pretty bad car accident and waited a week sitting in pain because I wasn’t sure how to proceed and get help… My dad and sister referred me to Skiber Law office. They got me on a free consultation the same day I called, I explained everything, and they got to work right away.
It feels like Attorney Skiber literally went to battle for me and got every single penny he could. I was very happy with the outcome. He got my car fixed 100%, he got me the Max Payout! And most importantly, he got my neck fixed 100%!!
Simply put, I was injured, my car was as wrecked, and I was truly depressed. 2 months later and I’m so very happy with the outcome and he’s done a great job and telling you how things will play out from the first call with him.
While I was able to heal and get back to work, he was busy making sure I was 10000% compensated for my injuries and suffering.
Thank you again Attorney Skiber, I can’t say it enough.

Alicia was the best decision I could have made for my separation/child custody case. She is respectful, honest, optimistic, compassionate, and an ace in the courtroom. She knows family law extremely well, and while attempts to reach mutual agreements with both parties, is not intimidated with taking it to court when needed.
Alicia is a big proponent of Fathers' rights, which is the primary reason I sought her out. She believes in fairness and understands that men still tend to get the bad end of the deal in many cases. Without going into specifics, when it looked like I had little hope, Alicia completely turned everything into my favor unequivocally. I can't say enough for what she did and how she handled my situation. Entering the courtroom and going before the judge and opposition, we felt more like a team then as attorney/client. She is not afraid to battle for what is right and has my utmost respect. I owe her much gratitude and cannot say enough about her or the impact she had on my life. I now consider her a friend and would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone needing a family law attorney. More specifically, fathers who have been wronged or just want fair & equal treatment.
Thanks for everything Alicia.

I cannot recommend Attorney Saraceni highly enough! Over the past six years, I have had the privilege of working with him on family custody matters and navigating false criminal accusations, and I am consistently impressed by his dedication, expertise, and compassion.
From our very first meeting, Jim took the time to listen to my concerns and understand my situation. His in-depth knowledge of family law and criminal defense is evident, and he approached each case with meticulous attention to detail. I always felt supported and informed, as Attorney Saraceni made complex legal concepts easy to understand and provided clear, actionable advice.
What truly sets Jim apart is his unwavering commitment to his clients. He continues to always be available to answer questions and provide guidance, even during the most stressful moments. Jim continues tirelessly to fight for my rights, ensuring that my voice has been and continues to be heard in every court proceeding.
Beyond his professional prowess, Attorney Saraceni genuinely cares about his clients. He approaches each case with empathy and understanding, making me feel like more than just a client—I am treated more like family. This personal touch has made a world of difference during some of the toughest times in my life.
If you're seeking a skilled, compassionate, and dedicated attorney, look no further than Attorney Saracen. I am forever grateful for this continued support and advocacy, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation!

Unfortunately I continue to hear nothing but negative things about this attorney. Warning do NOT I repeat do not use this attorney. I know of two people who have used him and with both of his clients he has not delivered on anything he stated he was going to do. I am only writing this review because two of my family members have already been Bamboozled by him. He likes to take people’s money and give them the run around. This man is out here scamming folks out of their hard earned money. He needs to do better because people are trusting him and time again he continues to let people down with no remorse.

My husband and I have been represented by Attorney Saraceni numerous times. He has always been professional, competent, and thorough. He's very knowledgeable in the law and we have always been confident in his representation. Attorney Saraceni is prompt in returning calls when we have questions about our case and he can be relied on to attend all scheduled meetings. We would highly recommend James Saraceni as an attorney.

He makes himself available but charges even if he takes extra time to correct his own mistakes and speaks down to you. He is a bit condescending and acts like he can't be bothered even though you are paying him by the hour.

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.
