Applying for SSDI is a complicated and long process, but the wonderful and knowledgeable team of lawyers and legal assistants, as well as the rest of the great staff at CJ Henry Law Firm, will help and guide you every step of the way. They understood my health problems and advocated for me until we received a fully favorable decision for me to receive SSDI. I highly recommend this law firm.

Our experience with CJ Henry Law firm was outstanding! They handled our Social Security disability case with the utmost care and professionalism possible. Every person in the office treated us like a trusted friend, not just a client. It was so refreshing to deal with a firm that you felt really wanted the very best outcome for you and your family. We personally dealt with Ms. Henry, Mr. Archie Blair, Cortnei Henry, Tina Blair and Morgen Fales and can say without reservation that we received the very best care from each and every one of them. We would HIGHLY recommend working with this firm.

Look no further. CJ Henry Law Firm should be your choice for disability claims.
I could not ask for a better team to be in my corner. I had been fighting for disability for about six years when I contacted CJ Henry Law Firm. From the very first conversation I had with Archie, who did an evaluation of my claims, I knew I had found someone who really cared and would fight for me. He told me at the close of our first conversation that it would all be OK and not to worry. The entire team did an amazing job. I was always kept informed, had any questions I had answered, and given the confidence that I had a winning team in my corner. The entire office staff are the true meaning of TEAM. It took approximately 18 months or so from start to finish with CJ Henry Law Firm to get a fully favorable decision. I had been fighting for nearly six years before that with two other Law firms and got no where. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm for your disability claim. When they tell you not to worry, they mean just that. With this team you can expect nothing less than the best. Please, don't just consider using CJ Henry Law Firm but make it your choice. Thank you to everyone that worked so hard to win my case. You are all amazing.

Mr. Guilfoil is a great attorney!
I am extremely grateful for Paul Guilfoil's legal representation in my son's criminal case! Mr. Guilfoil has a great reputation and a great working relationship with the State Attorney’s Office. He was able to plea this case down to one of acceptance. A decision of this importance takes time, patience, and a clear head and this attorney (and office) fully handles this the best way possible.
Mr. Guilfoil was very accessible and returned messages in a timely manner, with some being after regular office hours! My son and I highly recommend Mr. Guilfoil as your criminal defense attorney and guarantee you he will work hard to get the best possible outcome for your situation as he did with my son.

Truly blessed to have found this lawyer. Even though not a felony charge, enough to cause a major headache and 2 months of anxiety. Paul from the beginning gave an outcome of his thoughts on the case, even though there was no guarantee and I was on edge until the State finally dropped the case. Paul was very knowledgeable of the law, very professional, understood the system, kind and patient and had the experience to ascertain a situation clearly. I had faith in him the whole time and felt he always represented my best interest. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

We hired Jon and Advantage Title to help us with a real estate issue and conduct a sale transaction. Jon was very knowledgeable about the issue; he took the time to listen to me and my ideas; he explained legal concepts in terms that I could understand; and ultimately, he and his Team helped us achieve an ideal solution. Then, Linda Denby (one of Jon's associates) at Advantage Title conducted a smooth and easy sales transaction. Jon and his Team are some of the best that I have ever worked with, and I will certainly call them first if we ever need their services again. THANK YOU Dean & Dean.

I have know Patricia Voss for maybe thirty years. I have consulted with her on numerous issues regarding my estate plans and the estate plans of members of my family. She is without question one of the most knowledgeable attorneys I know and one who prizes her personal relationships with her clients. She has an LLM in law (master degree beyond her JD degree) and keeps up on the updates of Florida law each year. You can be sure she will give you the best advice and all the correctly completed documents you need.

I strongly recommend Pat Vos Esq. Best decision made.

We are so happy that we went to see Austin Dailey at Klein and Klein. He was very patient with us as he guided us through the estate/trust/ladybird deed process. It was all foreign language it seemed, but with Austin's help we feel 110% confident that when the time comes, we are all set with no issues. Thank you so much Austin!!!

I had an excellent experience working with Stauss. From the very beginning, they were professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about my case. Kali and Bri took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions, and provided sound legal advice. Their expertise and dedication were evident throughout, and I felt confident knowing they were handling my case. I highly recommend Stauss Law to anyone in need of legal assistance

Attorney Jennings was able to help me with a very complex matter. Step parent adoptions are very hard and can put so much stress on just about anyone. She helped me every step of the way, and she actually cared about me as a person and not just another client. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone that is not only highly educated, but it also very compassionate. I am forever grateful for her help.

Russ Lapeer appears to be the type of Attorney that hides behind a receptionist. He is currently withholding a copy of a family trust from a beneficiary and possible executor, (wouldn't know because we have not seen it) and refuses to return a call to the person who has a right to have a copy. He has not returned one of several documented calls to his office. He and his staff has not responded to an email.

She essentially did nothing but tell us what forms to fill out, was unreachable by email and would not return emails, if you had more than one question she would only answer one and disregard the rest. We terminated our relationship with Atty Riggins and request an invoice and a return of our $850 retainer and she has never responded. Do yourself a favor and find a different lawyer.

This is no way bad mouthing a lawyer, it’s about people being aware when it comes to seeking legal help. This week spoke with this lawyer about the landlord violated the Fair Housing Act by denying my reasonable accommodation to change their smoking policy to not allow tenants to smoke inside their units. I have a qualified disability under the Fair Housing Act. Under the Fair Housing Act, housing providers cannot deny a reasonable accommodation. The only way the housing provider can deny a reasonable accommodation, if that reasonable accommodation poses a financial undue hardship and administrative burden, with that denial due to a financial undue hardship and administrative burden, the housing provider MUST provide an alternative accommodation. With that alternative accommodation offered by the housing provider, the tenant may reject if he/she feels it does not meet his or her needs. When considering a reasonable accommodation request, the housing provider should give primary consideration to the accommodation requested by the tenant or applicant because the individual with a disability is most familiar with his or her disability and is in the best position to determine what type of aid or service will be effective. Reasonable accommodation request under the Fair Housing Act, are changes in any rule, policy, practices, or services needed in order for a person with a disability to have equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.
The Fair Housing Act allows housing providers to incur cost for granting the reasonable accommodation, just as long as that cost does not pose a financial undue hardship and administrative burden. In my case, implementing a non-smoking policy will impose minimal additional costs, as creation of a non- smoking policy only requires amendment of leases and the housing provider plan, both of which may be done as part of the housing provider normal course of business. Additionally, enforcement of the policy will add minimal incremental costs, as housing provider already regularly inspect housing units and enforce lease provisions.
The above mentioned is the law and this is what this lawyer should have been aware of. She mentioned nothing what I just explained. The lawyer was explaining to me that the landlord has a contract with that tenant, that the lease allows tenants to smoke inside the units and the landlord cannot tell the tenants not to smoke inside the units and cannot break that contract. Also, she went on to explain a scenario about a person talking on their cell phone.
When the lease allows tenants to smoke inside the units and you have a tenant that have a disability under the Fair Housing Act and submitted their reasonable accommodation request asking the landlord to change the smoking policy that will not allow tenants to smoke inside the units and/or move that tenant to another unit, since the Fair Housing Act is the Federal law, it supersedes any local and state rules and regulations. Again, housing providers CANNOT deny a reasonable accommodation request, it’s the federal law.
In addition, Smoke-free policies are not about adopting a policy against smokers nor it’s discrimination. Smoke-free policies are legal, they do not violate resident’s privacy rights and do not discriminate against residents who smoke. People who smoke are not a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and do not have special legal status. Smoke-free policies are about where people smoke, not about whether they smoke, merely setting rules for activities permitted on the property. Again, this is the federal law.
People should be able to receive good legal help whether they are living in low-income housing or in a $500,000 home. If this lawyer did not want to take my case, all she had to do is be honest and tell me up front, instead of giving me incorrect information mentioning nothing about the Fair Housing Act. It is sad what people go through to find good legal help.

I am writing my sad and bad experience with this person who does not honor her profession. She misled me from the first day I met with her regarding an eviction order from a property I bought with tenants. She told me that the eviction order would be sent the next day. According to our conversation and based on the documentation that I gave her, she assured me that legally I had the right to evict them. In conclusion, after receiving her money, she demanded full payment immediately, because until she received it at her bank, the process would not begin. Mrs. Riggins never executed the eviction order and when I asked for the copy she avoided me and was upset that I called her responding aggressively. Months passed and I never worked on my case. I did my own research and confirmed my doubts that this woman is a scammer. She collected the money and didn't call me except when I sent her a messages and have hung up the phone on me, so h
she ended up resigning. I did my own research and found information on how to protect myself from scammers like her. I have my rights and I will enforce them. I do not recommend her and I will regret hiring her all my life. I still haven’t been able to live in my house I bought and to top it off I continue to pay the rent for what I currently live. She is a vile ,evil ,cold person and SCAMMER. I do not recommend it. I gave 1 star just to send my review. 0 star for her.

We went to John McGraw to draft up a letter for us because we were having issues with the seller when trying to purchase our home. We sat down with him right as his office was closing (after waiting at least 30 minutes) for maybe 15 minutes, and he had us write out a $250 check for the letter. First thing the next morning we got good news and no longer needed the letter. I called his office first thing in the morning and he was not in yet. I left a message asking him not to start the letter that we no longer needed it. When he called me back, he said that was fine that he barely did anything so he would give us a refund and just deduct the small amount of time we took. It has been a month and a half of getting the run around about the refund check. It never came, so my fiancé went to his office. $85 was what he gave us for a refund check. So unless you want to pay $165 for nothing but feeling like you are being rushed out because it's the end of the day, I wouldn't refer anyone.

Mr. Carreras accepted my retainer and seemed to be working on my behalf until one day he just stopped. He didn’t communicate with me his reasoning nor did he answer any of my emails or phone calls with an explanation. Very unprofessional! I tried for months to reach him but he never responded. Because of him, I lost the sale of my property that was under contract. I am so disappointed in him and his law firm as I also reached out to his supervisor and didn’t get an explanation. I do not recommend him or his law firm.

Please review Florida Bar before pursuing the services of this lawyer. If I can give him a zero, I will. Not only did he display a lack of empathy for my case, he did absolutely nothing to show that he worked for my case at all. Shocked at his behavior, I reviewed Florida Bar records and found to my shock that the bar association had used certain words I would consider "shocking" to describe this lawyer. Please research carefully all lawyers before contracting their services. You are paying them and you have the right to know the cases they work on, the outcome of the cases and how they keep up with the paperwork. We have had enough with this one!

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.
