My friend referred me to Toni and I am so glad she did! From our very first conversation, I knew I was in good hands. She made me feel comfortable and helped me understand my options. She was a tireless advocate in the nearly two-year process of pursuing a positive outcome in a difficult negotiationjourney. Every step along the way, she offered expert professional counsel and support. I appreciated her realistic and timely communication and her consistent follow through. My case was resolved beyond my expectations and her support helped reduce my stress exponentially. If you are considering hiring Toni, just do it. She is an awesome, honest, knowledgeable, compassionate, and incredibly effective lawyer.

I will highly recommend Vardanyan Law Firm if you are looking for a professional support for your case. Ruben and his team are professional and honest with their process. Ruben by himself keeps in touch with clients for entire process to answer their questions, so I did not have any confusions or whatsoever with my case. Very caring, honest and knowledgeable that all what I have to say. I am so glad that I listened to their advices in order to settle my case right.

I was in a car accident in October 2022 and injured my neck and shoulder. I decided to hire Jacob and boy, am I glad I did. He was able to advise me along the way where I should go to handle my pain all while he worked on my case. It is not an overnight process but with Jacob, your interests are always at the top of his mind and he will check in with you throughout your case and give you honest feedback and a plan that will best suit your needs. He cares about what you are dealing with and any injury and pain you are going through and will fight your case for you. I was extremely happy with what he was able to do for my case. It was a better outcome than we had even thought! And it's because he works hard and cares about you! I strongly recommend hiring Jacob for all your law needs.

This review is long overdue, but not because I forgot—far from it. It’s because I needed time to truly reflect on what Zack Domb and Devin Rauchwerger did for me, how they changed my life, and how deeply grateful I am for everything they fought for on my behalf. When I first walked into their office, I was lost. I had no knowledge of the law, no experience dealing with attorneys, and no idea where to begin. My case was complicated, messy, and overwhelming. I felt like I was drowning in uncertainty, unsure of who to trust, unsure if there was even a way forward. And then I met Zack and Devin. From the very first conversation, everything changed. They didn’t just take on my case—they took me in. They listened. They cared. They reassured me in a way that felt genuine, personal, and powerful. They didn’t see a problem; they saw a person. They didn’t just talk about my case—they talked about me, my future, my family, my fears, my hopes. They knew that I wasn’t just looking for legal help—I was looking for someone to fight for me. And fight they did. These men didn’t just represent me—they empowered me. They made it impossible to feel lost in the process because they explained every step, every option, and every possible outcome with patience and clarity. They treated me as if I had gone to law school myself, ensuring I never felt like an outsider in my own fight. My confidence grew stronger every day because I knew—without a doubt—that I had the best of the best standing behind me. But what truly sets Domb & Rauchwerger apart isn’t just their brilliance in the courtroom. It’s their heart. I come from a family-oriented background, and to me, family means everything. And that’s exactly what these two men made me feel like—family. From the way they spoke to me, to the way they fought for me, to the way they checked in on me even after my case was over—I wasn’t just another client. I was their brother, their cousin, their nephew. I wasn’t a case number—I was someone who mattered. And even now, if Zack or Devin were to call me, I would pick up without hesitation, because they are more than attorneys to me. They are family. As for their legal expertise? Unmatched. Unrivaled. Unstoppable. They masterfully dissect every case, anticipate every move, and fight with a level of skill and determination that few attorneys ever achieve. They are relentless in their pursuit of justice, refusing to back down until they’ve done everything in their power to protect and defend their clients. If I had to do this all over again, if I had to go through this battle a hundred times over—I would choose Zack and Devin every single time. No hesitation. No doubt. Because there is no one else I would trust more with my future. Because of them, my life has changed for the better, I have hope again, I have a future to look forward to. They didn’t just fight for me—they fought for the man they saw in me, for the future they believed I deserved, for the second chance they knew I was worthy of. And when the case was over, when their job was technically done, they still checked in on me. That’s the kind of attorneys they are. That’s the kind of men they are. There isn’t a rating high enough to express how much I support them. There aren’t enough stars to measure how much I appreciate them. If you need attorneys who will fight like warriors, stand by you like brothers, and protect you like family—Domb & Rauchwerger are the only choice. Zack, Devin—if you’re reading this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You changed my life, and my son’s life, for the better. I owe you both more than I can ever express in words. If you’re looking for the best attorneys on the planet, don’t waste another second searching. Call Domb & Rauchwerger. Case closed. -Austin Griffin

I worked with Hackler Flynn & Associates on multiple inquiries regarding employment law spanning months, more than a year even and every inquiry I had was quickly and professionally addressed along with very articulate explanations to the legal concepts I was naive about. In addition, for every inquiry, not only did I receive a straight-forward rundown of the process, the turn-around time was always extremely reasonable which meant that the goals I was working through were addressed and I could move our business needs to the next step sooner than later. I now know what source I will go to for future inquiries, as Hackler Flynn & Associates understands how to address our legal needs.

Mr. Frank McNally is an ideal attorney, especially when dealing with insurance companies and seeking fair compensation for damages.

I hired Vincent based on good reviews and a referral from a friend. His rate seemed reasonable, so I decided to work with him. Our initial conversation was smooth, although brief, and I felt confident moving forward. I paid the retainer on 8/17, and he promptly filed the initial form on 8/19. When he informed me that papers were served on 8/27 and the respondent had 30 days to respond, I thought things were progressing well. However, my positive impression quickly faded. I followed up with him on 9/11 and 9/18 without any response. He finally called on 9/19, four hours late, and reassured me that “everything was fine.” When I questioned why he hadn’t filed the proof of service of summons, he brushed it off, saying it wasn’t necessary to file it right away and would handle it later. He advised waiting until mid-October, to which I agreed. From there, communication became nonexistent. I followed up on 10/14 with no reply and reached out again on 10/24, 10/25, and 10/28—still nothing. Aside from filing the initial paper with the court, he has done absolutely nothing further on my case. When I contacted the courthouse myself, I learned that my case had been left completely unattended, with the court even requesting a status update due to inactivity. Vincent’s behavior was not only unresponsive but also unprofessional at every turn. Missing scheduled calls, failing to provide updates, and ignoring my questions demonstrated a lack of respect for my time and trust. He even used a personal “gmail.com” email account instead of a professional one, which, looking back, was an early red flag. His entire approach felt more like a one-man show than a legitimate law firm. Vincent comes off as convincing and charming on the phone (when you can reach him), but if you’re looking for someone who will swiftly take a retainer, make empty promises, and waste your time, he’s your guy. I wasted two months trusting that he was working on my case while, in reality, he had abandoned it. Now I’m forced to dismiss the case he filed and start over—an unfortunate setback given the lengthy court process. Please beware of Vincent when choosing a lawyer to represent your case. His unprofessionalism, lack of accountability, and disregard for his clients’ time make him a poor choice if you need real legal representation.

Malathi helped me in getting a green card through marriage in 2019. Her office not only delivered, but was always extremely nice and available. And she was able to navigate easily through some peculiarities of my case, which I considered as personal complications. So I can definitely recommend her services.

I was consulting with Malathi a very special situation about my immigration case. She was helpful and I could instantly sense the breadth of her experience. She took time to listen to me to understand my situation and offer clear advice. I was just trying Avvo but this was beyond my expectation. Highly recommended.

My wife and I are in our mid-forties and decided it was time to create a living will and trust. We researched a few options and attended two seminars to understand the scope of what we needed to know. Unfortunately, the attorneys running the seminars seemed to be more focused on volume rather than the quality of their service. So when a close friend referred us to Adam a few days later, I wasn’t tripping over myself to speak to another attorney, but I’m so glad I did. From the first phone call, I knew Adam would be able to help us. He was a great listener and very patient. We truly felt that Adam was completely focused on our needs and helped us craft a will and trust that was exactly what we wanted. He was easily available by phone and responded very quickly to emails as well. Adam Aparicio was an excellent choice for our will and estate planning and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I seriously goofed up a property transfer which resulted in the reassessment of the property taxes of my home. I literally went from paying $1500 a year to nearly $5000! Despite me missing several deadlines, Mr. Aparicio was able to secure a roll back of my tax value on my property when I thought all hope was lost. He was very generous with his time and didn't nickel and dime me for every call. He has a certain way about him, its very calming, and its nice to have someone do what they say they're going to do.

I'm not one for writing reviews, but my experience with Adam Aparicio Law Offices prompted me to spread the word. Finding a good lawyer is a daunting task, scarier than finding a good mechanic, or dealership, or dentist, or sushi restaurant. Your life is literally in this persons hands. I can't believe the Law Gods smiled on me when they dropped Mr. Aparicio into my lap. I was talking to a good friend about my problem with an insurance company. I had signed some documents without really understanding all of the fine print. I made a grave mistake and trusted the insurance agent when she explained what everything in the documents meant. Little did I know, that she had failed to mention some pretty important clauses that were to my great disadvantage. I spent sleepless nights once I realized my mistake. The mistake had cost me in the thousands of dollars, and in this economic climate, it was heartbreaking. My friend mentioned he knew of a good lawyer and this is where Mr. Aparicio came in. I was reluctant to call his offices at first, I was feeling apprehensive in trusting anyone, since I had been let down by my own insurance company just previously. I had that same fear people have when trying to choose a good doctor. You want the best. But my mind was put at ease once I walked in. His staff was courteous, his office intimate, and his handshake firm. I felt comfortable with him right away. I was highly impressed by his initiative. He read my documents thoroughly, he answered my questions, he brought his staff together and they started on a plan of attack. Things were getting done right away and I felt at ease about it. I felt confident about having good people behind me. Adam and his staff were there for me every step of the away. They were always a phone call away. Even after they were able to get the contract retracted and annulled. They still called to make sure that I was happy and satisfied with the results. Was I happy? My lord! They saved me thousands of dollars and they still call to ask if I'm satisfied? Wow! They don't make lawyers like this anymore. I highly recommend Adam Aparicio Law Offices. It feels good to know that If I ever have legal problems again, I have no problem knowing who to turn too. I just want to give a big thanks to Adam Aparicio and his staff. It was a magnificent honor knowing you were all on my side.

There is a reason HLF specializes in Employment Law. While avoiding specifics I will say this Team of legal professionals set the standard very high. From the moment I used their website to submit my inquiry to present day I never felt anything but educated, cared about, and professionally guided through the scary waters of my specific case. I sought justice and Alex (and his wonderful Team) helped me get it. I feel like I had a voice now and that I have been properly compensated. Towards the end and several times during this experience I was flustered and bewildered. I was worried they would think I was stupid or annoying for asking so many questions, especially after what I had been though.... My self esteem was not very good at that time. But every email was answered with patience and kindness. Now I feel victorious and I am ready to make the world my oyster again. Thank you so much for everything!

He really makes sure he understands your case, and tells you whether you have one or not. He is knowledgeable and experienced with business law, where some others are not. Eugene qualified my claim without wasting time and money. His courtroom experience is very valuable. He is a very good lawyer and businessman. None of the other lawyers came close to his skill-set. I am sure he has a very successful practice with many referrals. You will be very happy after speaking with Eugene Kim.

We first met Bill in 1987 or 1988 when he and Erin and Barbara and I hosted two young Japanese women exchange students interested in polishing their English skills during a summer session. Over the years, we have been repeatedly impressed by Bill's integrity and knowledge, and when it became time, we asked him to be executor of our estate, will and trust. He has been an excellent choice, low-key and confidence-inspiring for our adult children and attentive to detail. In fact, we have an amendment to our will on our current to-do list: Bill recently reminded us that it needed to be updated to include the birth of a great-grandchild or three; we have established 529 education trust funds for each of the "grands" and "great-grands," to make manifest our lineage's ongoing emphasis on the importance of education to a family's "health. This reminder of Bill's exemplifies the kind of care and attention that we never cease being grateful for.

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
