I spoke with Julianne after losing my job during Covid. She was extremely detail oriented and caring regarding my situation.
I had a few general conversations with other attorneys and she was the only one that pointed out some very significant viewpoints regarding my case. I would totally seek her out if I had any employment issues in the future.

Like the other reviewer, I was researching information about potential liability. Jim was very direct, very clear about the issue, his approach, and smart advice on taking next steps. It was a very informative and useful initial call and have recommended him to the potential client.

I've never worked with anyone so responsive in my life. Erica always responds immediately and turns the work around so that I can move forward with my business. She quickly understands the goal and doesn't get wrapped up in lengthy process that may be more than I need. She gets it. That said, Erica's questions illuminate the vulnerabilities I never thought of. I absolutely love having Erica on my side as I step into the business arena.

I've hired Lee on several occasions for all sorts of different matters, from routine non judicial settlement agreements to difficult Orphans' Court litigation matters. He is good with clients and gets the job done. He is very responsive and always returns phone calls the same day which is highly unusual in this profession. His creativity in complex matters and ability to calmly deal with difficult client situations and adversarial counsel makes him stand out from the crowded filed of trust and estates attorneys.
I recommend Lee for routine legal matters to complex litigation including appellate work. He is better than most attorneys that cost $100's more per hour.

Michael Willner is a brilliant, strategic, and effective attorney who works without end or limit for his clients. He undertook a very complex matter in our case that had multiple details, moving parts, and useless egos. He was the only one who understood the facts, the law and the strategy for victory. He communicated constantly and kept us up to date on all matters.
He uses SLCG as a damages expert who is second to no one.
His integrity and ethics are beyond reproach, and that is 90% of the battle having an attorney who seeks the truth, fights hard and never quits...very rare!

PA Dept of Revenue disagreed with Nawn’s calculations on my return, costing me a significant amount of money. I sent him a complete description of the problem and requested assistance. I received no reply, and no support in my discussions with the state to try and resolve the issue. I will not use him again and do not recommend him to other taxpayers.

This was the worst law firm ever and I would not recommend them to my worst enemy. My lawyer David was rude,abrasive, and down right unconcerned. If not for my diligence with acquiring new legal representation my life could have been extremely impacted. Do your self a favor and don't waste time with this firm.

I hired John, approx. 2005, to represent me to protect my property from damage that could occur from a developer. I have a 1710 bank home and barn. He came to my property, took pictures, went to the township building and took pictures of the developer's plans and attended township meetings. He instructed me to take pictures and document as much as I can. I hired him because of my lack of knowledge and my busy lifestyle. During the 2 yrs. there was nothing but meetings which John attended. 2007 he took a job with HUD which lasted 2 yrs. When he returned building started aand I needed John again to protect me. Make a long story short, our last meeting he asked me for $24,000.00 on top of what I had already given him. I suggested we try and deal with E. Goshen supervisors one way before we proceed with his suggestion. I found out after that visit that he never contacted the supervisors and never did anything he said he did. When I finally talked with him he told me the Post Office lost all the letters to the supervisors and my copy of the letters .He did not return my phone calls for 2 mos. but sent back a very small amount of a file consisting of yrs. of work he was to do for me, and because he did nothing for me, re. the development, I have irreparable damage done to my property plus the money he took from me, and not one copy of any letters or copies of all the minutes from the E.Goshen meetings. I worked with countless lawyers because of my business being international. I believed that John would take care of things without my having to call him constantly.

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.
