I've used Rob twice. Four years ago it was simple wills and a trust. More recently, it was remarriage, combined family with a child by previous marriage and an investment property. Rob initially recommended a QTIP trust, but the more questions he asked, the more he leaned toward a different structure. His key benefit was his ability to get to what we really wanted, and to explain all the pros and cons of each approach. We're very pleased.

My company was looking for 10k sf of commercial space in an up-and-coming neighborhood in Brooklyn. Bruce partnered with us on negotiations with three different landlords. Throughout, Bruce had a keen understanding of our business needs and how the lease needed to be structured to support those needs. He was meticulous in attention to detail and pushed us hard when we needed to be. He's trustworthy, smart, and tough. Highly recommended.

Although Mrs. Hadjipetrova could not finish my case (due to long absence from U.S,) she was constantly ready to help with exactly what was needed, no matter Monday or Sunday, day or night. And her calm and balanced personality it just misleading - she's 100% right into the point.
Broadly knowledgeable, open-minded and naturally charismatic.
The life experience and common sense are just another plus.

Deb represented my startup in business negotiations with partners and investors, and worked miracles! In setting up deals with worldwide companies, we thought we were on the ropes and she repeatedly worked out terms that fully protected our intellectual property without a negative impact to us.
I once asked her about her talent, and she explained that she viewed negotiation as a way for both parties to get what they want, rather than a winner take all proposition. That, and her track record, earned a lot of respect from me. I occasionally keep in touch, and she is now at her own firm: www.djlcorplaw.com.

As a single mom on a limited budget, I knew I needed a trademark for my new online business. I also knew that acquiring a trademark can be costly and doesn't always have a happy ending. I'm here to say that my experience with Raj was a very good one. When I had a few curveballs sent regarding my trademark, I was extremely upset. I wrote Raj an email, and within 24 hours, he had one of his senior attorney's call me back and counsol me. It's nice to see the owner of Legal Force stands behind his company.

I've known dozens of lawyers over the years and met Sam through a friend's introduction. He was said to he the best young and hungry and knew all the VCs and could help me in ways that they all say they can. And yes he got me connected to investors and yes he's a lawyer. But the one thing about him that I'll always appreciate is that he had my back when it was up against a wall.

I really don't want to sound fake. Matthew and his team are superb. They helped me when I lost my job last year and they didn't charge a penny. I was so thankful and happy with their advice that I retained him as my immigration lawyer. Since then I have gone through the GC process almost so smoothly that I have started to wonder why people complain so much. Only I-485 left and I'll be done with this process!

I was recommended to Jon by a friend in seek of a lawyer who could help me establish my business partnership. It was very important for me to be represented by someone who understood the tone of terms I was looking to create in the contract. I wanted to be represented well and also keep a peaceful negotiation between my future business partner and I.
Jon was amazing in hearing my concerns and providing the right steps, guidance and legal stance for me to move forward confidently and propose my terms for the business partnership. He found a lot of loop holes in our partnership agreement that would have greatly worked against me and was able to provide the solution. He explained to me how everything works so that I could understand for myself and was empowered in my position.
I am very grateful for Jon because without him, I would have been committing to an unfavorable situation. With him, I gained confidence and security as a business woman. I will continue to use him in my future endeavors and have been recommending him to friends and family!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Aria and his team at Green Card Link for my immigration process, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the start, their expertise in NIW (National Interest Waiver) cases was evident. They guided me through every step with precision, making a typically stressful process feel manageable and clear.
Aria, in particular, demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and knowledge, especially when it came to handling my RFE (Request for Evidence). He addressed the RFE with such expertise and efficiency that I felt completely confident in the process. His ability to navigate complex immigration issues, coupled with his clear communication, made a significant difference in my case.
Although my case was specific to the NIW, I have no doubt that Green Card Link is equally proficient in handling other immigration cases like EB1. The entire team is dedicated, thorough, and committed to achieving the best possible outcome for their clients.
If you’re looking for a reliable and highly skilled immigration service, I wholeheartedly recommend Green Card Link and Aria. They exceeded my expectations, and I am grateful for their outstanding support.

I recently received assistance from the Broderick Saleen Law firm on an employment case and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. Tim Broderick represented my interests and worked tirelessly to help me get the outcome that I deserved.
From the very beginning, Tim showed a deep understanding of the nuances of the law, the specifics of my case, and the steps that would need to be taken in order to achieve a favorable outcome. Throughout the process,Tim and his team were communicative, responsive, and always kept me updated on the progress of the case.
What really stood out to me was how much Tim genuinely cared about my case and the impact it had on my life. I never felt like just another client, but instead, Tim treated me like a person with a unique story and set of circumstances.
Thanks to the Broderick Saleen Law firm, and Tim's efforts, I was able to secure a conclusion to a very unfair situation, and one that exceeded my expectations. I am so grateful for the work Tim did on my behalf and would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a talented, experienced, and compassionate employment lawyer!

Katrina Saleen -- a partner at Broderick Salon Law Firm -- is a brilliant example of sound discretion, measured confidence, and fine thinking. I contacted the firm because, a while back, Katrina had worked, successfully, on my friend's case. I contacted Katrina and heard back from her that very day. I found her to be thoughtful, thorough, articulate, and compelling. She was also noticeably objective as she assimilated the details of my case; I thought this was rare and laudable. I enlisted her service, and was delighted with her handling of the case and with its eventual outcome; the former was exemplary and the latter was marvelous...nothing short of the desired outcome. I found her to be at once understanding and tough; she handled the case -- and its prevailing surrounding circumstances -- not just with the conviction requisite to delivering an excellent result but also with the courage of that conviction necessary to expeditiously carry out what needed to be done. I cannot be more thankful for the amazing work the firm did on my behalf. If you want competence, ease of interaction, honesty, and stellar legal representation, look no farther. I recommend the firm wholeheartedly, without any reservation.

Mark And Mike Gilfix Are The Best
We would like to share a few words of praise about our recent meeting with Gilfix & La Poll Associates. Our adult family had a recent zoom meeting with Mark to discuss estate plans, trusts, and special needs trusts. Mark’s knowledge, expertise, experience, friendly manner & attentiveness regarding each & every one of our concerns provided the safety net we were searching for. Mark can be depended on to truly connect, communicate & facilitate plans with his clients. Now, for one example, money left for our special needs child is protected. Of tremendous continuing value has been his recent book, SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST, CREATION AND MANAGEMENT GLUIDE, by Mark & Mike. We are confident that with Mark & the resources he manages we have developed plans that respects and honors our wishes.

I've had a great experience over the past three years with Mark and his team at Gilfix & La Poll Associates, and have no doubt that I will continue to use his services in the years to come. He has helped me countless times to fluidly navigate what otherwise would have been a tangle of legal jargon and details. He's an exceptional listener and problem solver, and has a knack for simplifying the convoluted.
I have recommended family and two friends to their firm already.

Mark is the lawyer you wish for. He is an excellent listener, he understands things quickly, and he knows how to efficiently, and effectively put a course of action into place. He is also easy to spend time with because he is so personable and friendly.
I have gone to Mark multiple times with my legal questions, and he is always able to answer in a way that makes sense. In other words, he speaks in plain English! I love it. I always walk away feeling as though my issues have been mindfully and completely addressed. I have full confidence in Mark and the entire team at Gilfix & La Poll Associates.
It is Easy to recommend Mark and his entire firm. In fact, I have already referred many friends to them.

A top notch law firm offering superior levels of insight, acumen, and service. The lawyers are excellent and the resources available to them equally so. Their connection to government regulatory bodies is top notch, and the litigation department is what you would want for a “bet the company” litigation. A wise pick for start ups and more substantial companies.

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.
