I recently experienced a complicated situation with my former employer, and Mr. Leavitt was kind enough to guide me through several courses of action I could take. Very informative, highly professional and ultimately saved me from a lot of unnecessary angst. I felt heard and understood. 10/10; highly recommend reaching out to the Anderson Leavitt firm if you’re looking for compassionate, prompt and professional legal help.

Had the pleasure of working closely with Doug Leavitt on a Real Estate deal. The transaction almost fell apart a number of times. Thankfully, Doug's expertise and patience saved it and we had a smooth settlement. I highly recommend Mr. Leavitt, and look forward to working with him again.

My wife and I retained Doug’s services to assist with a shareholder dispute involving my family business and my sibling. After many years in business I decided it was time to move on and needed professional legal advice on the best way to proceed. Doug understood the complexity and sensitivity of the matter and carefully explained the various legal options available to remedy this matter. In addition, he provided guidance and assistance with the sale of inventory and property. We found Doug to be extremely practical, business minded, caring and more importantly, responsive. If faced with a “business divorce” I would highly recommend his services.

I came to Nancy with intimidation and confusion with the law and how to handle a situation; a competing business opened up and I didn't know how to deal with exclusivity and non-competition in my plaza. Nancy thoroughly explained exactly how exclusivity works and what I needed to look for in the signed lease. She expertly clarified exactly how to handle the situation and what I need to know moving forward so that we don't make the same mistake again. I now know my rights and what I am entitled to by the law much more clearly.
Moving forward I feel a lot more confident with dealing with the law thanks to Nancy. Also, I have complete clarity on what my rights are, and how to move forward with my issue.
Nancy had very fast response times, and high integrity in my experience. Thank you for the help!

I was evaluating whether to convert my business to a franchise, so I reached out to Nancy Lanard. I have worked with a lot of lawyers in my 35 years in business and this was arguably my all-time best experience. Nancy REALLY knows the franchise business and will respectfully ask you the right questions...the questions that need to be answered before you proceed. She and her team are "Top-Notch" and provide exceptional council when evaluating a business opportunity. Nancy took into consideration my unique situation and gave me great counsel. You would be well served to retain Nancy and her team! Very refreshing experience. -Shel

Nancy Lanard went above an beyond for me. I could tell right form the first phone call they knew what they were talking about. If you are thinking about a franchise, I highly suggest you hire a franchise specific attorney before you sign a contract. unfortunately I did not do this and paid the price in the long run. That is where Nancy came in and gave me great advice.

Attorney Nurick and his attorneys assisted me through a horrible divorce process with my ex-husband.
Divorce, custody, child support and alimony.
They were not just thorough but they were so caring during such a difficult period in my life.
This kind of representation and treatment is what we should all expect of attorneys.
Thank you!

Attorney Gilston will listen & follow your lead, but also have your back. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Attorney Gilston was able to do what several other attorneys could only promise me. If you are feeling overwhelmed, lost, bullied, or frustrated- or just need an attorney who is different in a good way (ethical, skilled, responsible, and honest)- Attorney Gilston is definitely who you want!

Family law issues are often challenging and my situation was emotionally one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to go through. From the very beginning, Greg exhibited a very compassionate demeanor. He explained the process in detail and was really great about talking me through all options available to me and the process and things to co wider for each one.
He was very clear and detailed about the fee structure and kept me updated throughout about billing and amounts left on retainer.
He is an exceptional communicator and very clearly outlines how and when to connect. He follows up diligently. I felt supported and at ease throughout this entire process and am so incredibly grateful to have been introduced to Greg. I highly recommend.

It was refreshing to speak with an attorney who did not try to convince you to take the expensive route by hiring him/her. He suggested a route that actually was not beneficial to him financially but to me financially. I appreciated that.

During my professional interaction with Mr. Caprara I was impressed by his professionalism, competence and integrity. Not only is he a fine lawyer, and worthy opponent, but he exhibited the
highest degree of respect for all parties and the Court. He has an enormous command of the skill sets necessary to guide a client through difficult and often troubling scenarios, while always seeking a reasonable and amicable solution to the underlying dispute.

His experience in a multitude of areas, such as has been invaluable. Joe also has a great ability to "read people" making his negotiating skills and command in court superior.

If someone asked me for a referral for an attorney, particularly in the area of software and business law, I would immediately tell them what I'm about to tell you below but it occurred to me that I've never really told you, though most of this you have probably inferred over the years. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that you have other clients like me who first started with you on the other side of a deal and felt so good about the experience that they wanted you in their corner the next time around. I did, and we've worked together for many years since then. In software contract and business negotiations it's important to me that all parties feel good about the process since it is just the beginning of a long term relationship. You have that rare ability to balance protecting our interests, treating our clients fairly and honestly, and most importantly, getting the deal done. Equally important to me is that while I'm certainly not a large client of yours, you've never made me feel that way. I like that you've invested the time in getting to know me through the years. Your advice and counsel is always spot-on and well tailored to my needs and my personality.
That personal service, attention to detail, knowledge of the industry and your honesty make it no happenstance that we've been working together for all of these years and will continue to do so for many more to come.

I have known DAF for 10 years and we have done quite a few business transactions together. He is by far the most honest, most knowledgeable business lawyer you can find. I trust him completely. You can make sure he will represent you and protect your interests. He will look at things from different angle and make sure there everything is covered under the law. He has never let me down. He will communicate with you every step along the way so you know exactly what's going on and won't be blindsided. I will recommend DAF to anybody any time.

I am writing to provide some personal comments about the legal work provided by Dennis McCooe, Esq. to my husband and business partner Peter. In 2004, my husband’s life work was taken by the company that manufactures his furniture designs. Because we couldn’t afford to engage an attorney to protect his work, the company continued to knock off his designs and not pay the agreed upon royalties. In 2013, we contacted Philadelphia Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (PVLA) seeking pro bono legal assistance to enforce his rights. From the moment we met Dennis McCooe, our situation started turning around. Dennis suggested we create a timeline of Peter's work, with images and dates. Then he asked us to do the same for the knockoff furniture. We collected and collated 30 years of magazine articles and design books to establish Peter’s work and brand identity prior to commencing his relationship with the offending company. Having gathered all the facts, we traveled together to Lancaster, PA for a negotiation with the offending company and its attorney. After the material was presented, Mr. McCooe asked one question, “If this dispute were to go to trial, and a jury saw this information, how do you think the verdict would go?” Dennis’s clever strategy resulted first in the payment of back royalties and then to a new royalty agreement ratified by the company.
Unbeknownst to us, the company was getting ready to file bankruptcy, which they did in late 2014, while still owing us a great deal of money. Instead of backing away from this case, Dennis and Blank Rome petitioned the creditors of the bankruptcy for the tooling and molds that Peter had designed and made. Because of this intervention, the court released these items. Our life today is much improved. We have a new factory working with us and Peter has a new studio with the equipment we obtained from the bankruptcy proceeding. None of this would have been possible without the generous and steadfast support of our counsel, Dennis McCooe. We will forever be in his debt and hope that he remains a friend for life. We must also thank Blank Rome for its generosity and commitment to bringing justice for artists through the PVLA.

I hired Josh to draft a basic legal agreement. I was also planning on having him draft a will for me and represent me for an injury case as well. Needless to say, I will be taking my business elsewhere on these matters.
Josh seems like a great attorney (if he wants your work) and I'm not surprised by all the great reviews he has since he seems very likeable and generous with his time (at first). However, after the initial consultation Josh lacks the professionalism to tell his clients upfront when he is not interested in your work (or doesn't have time, I'm not sure which one it is). Instead of telling you he will ignore you for a week or more and hope you just go away. I would rather him just say upfront that he is not a good fit for the work than waste my time stringing me along.
Seems I am not the only one with this experience either. Sort his firm's Google reviews by lowest first and you will see others complaining of the same thing. I suspect Josh did not want to do this work either or was too busy at that time (still not sure which one it is)
So if it seems Josh is interested in your work and you continuously get timely responses from him after the initial consultation, then I would recommend him. But as soon as it seems he is no longer interested, run for the hills because he is just going to waste your time stringing you along for months. I kept trying to be empathetic and give him another chance thinking maybe this is atypical but seems like that is his MO if he doesn't want your work.
Josh - just be honest with your clients upfront and don't jerk them around. Seems like you have a very successful practice and can be a great attorney.

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.
