Phil by far is a man of his word as it pertains to his profession! I had an incident in Downtown Chicago with the law; where I was facing a class III Felony. The moment Phil got the call from my family, he tackled the job right away! From our initial interview to the very last court date, He never stopped working on my case. He & I both knew I innocent in the matter and he didn’t stop working until he provided the facts and evidence to show the Judge alongside the District Attorney that I was not a criminal who should be trialed. Elated to say: I am now a free man. I highly recommend reaching out if in trouble!

I was recommended by a friend to contact James after I received a traffic violation. After a quick phone call with James, I could tell how knowledgeable he was in his field, and I was confident that he was going to be able to help me out. Right away he began to work on my case. James contacted me with results as soon as he got them, and he made this entire process stress free. I would definitely recommend James to anyone.

Rocco was the 2nd attorney I hired for the sale of my house and the difference was night and day. I dropped my first attorney because communication was poor, could almost only communicate through his assistant which could take days to get a response to an email, and when I did talk to him he was condescending and made me feel stupid for asking questions and like I was wasting his time. Rocco on the other hand was always available within minutes or at least the same day. He was calm and patient and always made me feel like he was there for me to answer any questions I had. I had a direct line of communication with him and always spoke with him directly and he was reassuring throughout the process. This sale was a tough one for me as I dealt with many flaky buyers and sometimes that frustration would come through when talking to Rocco but he handled it very well and was able to make me feel better about how to get what we want throughout the negotiations. And in the end he got the job done. I will only always use Rocco for my Chicago real estate dealings. Just can't say enough good things. Hire this man.

Rocco Massari was our real estate attorney for closing on the home we sold and for the home we purchased. It was great working with Rocco. He walked us through the process, answered all of our (countless!) questions and made the closing process easy. For the closing of the home we sold, we didn't even need to be there. He handled all of the paperwork and made it such a seamless process. It was a pleasure to work with him!

Massari law is professional and courteous in every way. Mr Massari helped me plan and write out my family wills. He went over every detail and explained the entire will process from beginning to end. I would recommend Massari law to anyone seeking good service with a professional touch. Our family looks forward to use Massari law again in the future.

I had a wonderful experience working with Michael Canna and Canna Law Offices to set up a will, trust, and power of attorney. Michael was really helpful in translating my ask ("I need to be responsible and set up stuff like a will and medical directives, right?") into the resources and documentation I needed.
These things can be difficult to think through and to talk about. Within that context, Michael was highly skilled at walking me through the documents, asking generative questions, and making sure I fully understood how everything will work. I would highly recommend working with this firm for estate planning.

Mike was great!!!! He helped my family and I with the close of our house. There were “issues”leading up to the close with the builder that Mike handled too. He always took the time to listen first and was very timely in getting back to us. I really appreciate everything he has done. I plan to use Mike for other legal needs in the future.
I would highly recommend him. He is a local guy who grew up in the area and knows the surrounding communities. Super easy to talk with….Great job Mike! Thank so much

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.
