My family used Dillon & Dillon for a few different things throughout the past decade. I met with Paul Dillon and had a case that was a little tricky. He did everything in his power to overcome any obstacles, that were in his way. Paul Dillon was reliable, pro-active, honest, patient and fearless in court. I would HIGHLY recommend him! My parents on the other hand, completed a trust with Angela Space and told me that she was very knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, and straightforward. This law firm was recommended to me and now I'm paying it forward by recommending them.

Attorney Scott handled a contract dispute for me. i felt i was being harassed and that the company was trying to intimidate me into paying for a service i did not order. Atty. Scott took over and quickly negotiated an agreement I thought was fair and what I had offered in the first place. He will be my attorney from now own. It was nice to have someone who I felt would fight for me.

I have worked with Daniel on two occasions and will most certainly choose to work with him if ever a future need arises. Daniel successfully negotiated a settlement for property damage that had been stagnant for months prior to his involvement. I contacted Daniel, explained what had transpired and within weeks the issue was resolved with a satisfactory outcome. Daniel is currently assisting my wife with the re-negotiation of a settlement. The outcome remains TBD but at this point Daniel has moved this forward where her prior attorney could not. I assume that this too will reach a satisfactory outcome. In any of my dealings with Dan, I've found him to be a tremendous listener who can quickly get to the heart of the matter and from that point moves forward in a very methodical manner while keeping me completely involved/informed along the way. I truly value the relationship that I have developed with Dan as my attorney.

Daniel was a fantastic advocate and representative for our company with nothing but our best interest in mind. Not only was he able to pinpoint the exact rule of law that would work to our advantage, but he also was able to express to us the "real world" probabilities of litigation and the positives and negatives of the litigating process in a precise, bare-bones professional manner. As a law graduate myself, I felt honored as a client and as a colleague to work with him. Advocates like Daniel are an example as to how an attorney should work with their clients in an age where settlement numbers seem to be all that matter. Daniel is one of those individuals that treats all of his clients cases with sincerity, compassion and dedication. Simultaneously he treats the client with dignity, professionalism, and respect. Yes, many attorneys can claim that they possess these attributes, but what makes Daniel different is the fact that he can actually relate to the matter at hand, both personally and professionally, and convey that to the client in a manner that the client feels as though they are a part of the actual decision-making process, and not just standing idle waiting for results. Daniel is a legal advocate that makes law understandable to his clients and adversaries so that the client does not feel as though it is not (as Judge Kevin Ross would say) "a foreign concept"; that on many levels he can provide legal advice, information, and options in a manner that is not overwhelming and relevant to anyone he represents. Daniel Scott, truly is, one of "the good guys".

I consulted Mr. Snitchler regarding a dispute in which I'm involved. Mr. Snitchler was very responsive to my inquiry and was professional in handling it. Before offering any advice, he took the time to understand the details of my situation. After a meeting with patience and compassion, he pointed me on an actional path with great clearance. I'd recommend Mr. Snitchler to anyone who needs services in his domain of expertise.

I hired Mark Chiesa for a very difficult case involving real property. To say that the deck was very much stacked against us in this case would actually be an understatement. I’ve had seven lawyers in total for other cases and, although they were all pretty good, Mark was the best. I have some complaints about all of the other lawyers that I’ve had but I have absolutely no complaints about Mark; he’s just that good. Of course, in any court case, it always comes down to the decision of a judge or a jury but Mark will work harder and smarter than most other attorneys, increasing the likelihood of a favorable outcome. Mark did exactly what I wanted him to do despite the unlikelihood of that ever happening. And he did it ethically, without having to convince the judge of things by telling bold-faced lies like the lawyer on the opposing side kept doing. Mark Chiesa is a great guy and a great lawyer. If you retain him and lose, you were gonna lose no matter what.

Rodney Glusac was recommended to me by a lawyer friend. I needed help in setting up a new business. We were able to agree on a date to meet to discuss my questions within days. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. He was also knowledgeable about the best way, legally, to set up my business. After our meeting, he got to work and submitted all the required forms to the state. Within days I received an email letting me know it was complete, with a detailed list of things I needed to do. I would highly recommend Rodney for anyone needing help in setting up a small business.

My colleague and I were referred to Mr. Glusac during the our purchase of a new company. In 2019 we sat down with him and immediately felt confident in his advice. The process was less scary then we had anticipated. With his expert advice, which we had followed, every step through the purchase made us feel very comfortable. It was one of the best referrals I have ever followed up on.

I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding support I received from Aaron Boria during my license restoration hearing. From our very first meeting, he displayed a deep understanding of the process and truly cared about my situation. He prepared me well for the hearing so I could be ready and confident for the hearing officer. After many years without a drivers license, and failed attempts at obtaining one myself, thanks to Mr. Boria, I can now drive legally (under restrictions) until next year when I can reapply to have the restrictions lifted. I will be using him again in the future! Highly recommend!

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.
