I have worked with Mr. Berman for over 2 years and through out my case journey I found him very knowledgeable and helpful. The biggest thing was when no one thought my case had a potential to win, it was Mr. Berman who had the confidence that we have a solid case and can win. His vision and trust was truly commendable. He was always there to assist me and was very patient in making me understand what to expect at every step of the case. He prepared me well for all kinds of outcomes the case could have. I would definitely recommend Mr. Berman for everyone.

Working with Ms. Laila Ghauri of Antares Law Firm was a great experience.

We hired Laila Ghauri as our business lawyer and we are truly thankful! She has gone above and beyond with helping us from filing our LLC all the way through filing our Trademark. She truly cared to learn all aspects of the business we were venturing into and even recommended us an amazing accountant. Even after the LLC has been filed and all licensing was complete, she still checked up to make sure everything was going as planned. We appreciate you , Laila!

I contacted Mr Hoffman on behalf of company over a contractual dispute. The opposing party had developed a majority of their financial basis for indemnification on matters not relevant to actual contract law. Additionally, the opposing attorney had made numerous errors in their filing. What I’ve highlighted is just a small portion of what Mr Hoffman was able to point out quickly and change the direction of this discussion toward a mediation and a “reasonable” level to negotiate. I felt Mr Hoffman did what was in my companies best interest to make matters practical and not emotional. As a small business owner trying to get by, the last thing I want is to deal with nuisances of a frivolous lawsuit… having Mr Hoffman on my side certainly brought clarity and confidence how we could handle this matter without creating an unnecessary and complex trial out of this.
Another item to highlight is that Mr Hoffman was quick to return calls/emails. When I originally reached out, he answered his phone. Can’t say that about any of the other attorneys I inquired with and I reached to a handful.

Called him late one evening to inquire about how to obtain my business license. He didn't get annoyed that it was after working hours. Instead, he promised to look it up first thing the next morning and get back to me which he did. He provided me with all the information I needed to get my business license. 5 stars is all this website offers but he gets 20 stars from me.
Thank you again Joel.

Met Jules almost 10 years ago and he created a new will and trust to meet my needs. Recently needed to update my will and other docs and called Jules for his advice and service. He encouraged me to review while he re-read my docs and pointed out areas where I might make improvements. His suggestions led to a much better understanding and a simpler and easier estate for my heirs to process. Jules was very attentive in understanding my needs and patient while I understood his suggestions. He was most generous with his time and attention. In addition, his friendliness and kindness made this an excellent experience and result.

We were in a situation that we needed to back out a real estate contract signed without the full knowledge of the property, but the deceiving seller threatened to pursue damage far beyond earnest money deposit (EMD)
Before talking to Jonathan Bromberg, we consulted with two other lawyers, paid initial consultation fees. Neither offered any constructive opinions but had no problem representing us with additional fees. Without much hope left, we sought help from Jonathan Bromberg. When we met with Jonathan, he was fully prepared and was honest with our situation. With his experience and competence, he was able to find grounds to defend us. Our case finally resolved itself with the seller taking the EMD. Our experiences with Jonathan was absolutely positive. We felt lucky to have met him. I would not hesitate to have Mr. Bromberg representing us in the future if needed.

I would like everyone to know that because of Mr Bromberg's knowledgeable guidance and advice the John Hancock Insurance company approved my mothers Assisted Living insurance for Riderwood retirement community after denying it for one year. Furthermore, John Hancock has now agreed to make it retroactive to one year ago. This is a huge burden off my family.

John is a winner...WE WON!
I hired John to represent me in a Social Service Disability Re-consideration claim. From the very beginning, John was professional, courteous, and a great listener. For some reason, other firms declined to take my case...not John. He did not hesitate to accept my case, after listening to my story. John was empathetic to my daily struggles and assured me he would do everything to fight for me. He never promised to win, in fact, John candidly let me know my chances of not winning. SS Disability cases are marathons, not sprints. John was there for every step, every day, and/or whenever needed. He was clear in what he needed from me and his expertise was invaluable in helping me articulate the serious affects of my conditions. Look, we all want a winner; hands down, best quality in a lawyer. Yet, I believe what makes John a winner is his relatability. He gets it and plays no games to achieve the absolute best results for his clients. John will always be "My Guy"!

Doug Coggins has been my attorney for over 5 years. Doug was highly recommended to me when I learned that my attorney of several decades had announced retirement. I have turned to Doug for representation, counsel and advice for general corporate, contract, and real estate law. I have found his work to be of the highest quality and his advice to be invaluable.
Based upon my 40-plus years experience as both a small business owner and real estate investor, I can without reservation recommend Doug Coggins.

Let me start by saying that if it had not of been for Doug Coggins, my career and future welfare could very well be jeopardized. A little while ago I got into some trouble with the Montgomery County PD and received some fairly serious criminal traffic charges. I had never been in this situation before and had no idea where to start. I met Doug under the referral of my parents and after my first visit, I immediately began to feel better. He told me that based on my past record which was pretty clean considering what I was facing and my decent sense personal integrity, the outcome of my case had a very good chance of being favorable. However, he made sure that he did not give me a false sense of hope and reminded me that I was always at the mercy of the court and that he would do everything in his power to help me. Sure enough a few weeks later Doug came through ten-fold. After our initial meeting, he met with the states attorney and was able to negotiate a deal which entailed that my more serious charges would be dismissed if I agreed to perform 24 hours of community service. I met with Doug one more time after that to discuss the details regarding my community service and how it affected my charges specifically. Following that meeting we went to court where Doug and the states attorney presented the details of our agreement before the judge and asked for an extension so that I could complete my community service. I kept in touch with Doug via e-mail letting him know when my community service was done, and a few months later we went back to court and essentially sealed the deal. The serious charges were dismissed, and the points were dropped on the less serious ones pending that I paid the fines. Doug's proficiency and courtroom demeanor were impressive to say the least and I hardly had to tell the judge anything which was very reassuring since I knew he was on top of it. I highly recommend Doug Coggins to anyone who finds themselves in a situation where they need professional guidance and someone who has their back.

I contacted Mr. Rand less than a week before my scheduled hearing date. His fee for the initial consultation was very reasonable and overall his charges are reasonable. During the consultation we were able to figure the focus of my case which was a great help among all the issues I wanted to include. I decided to present my case myself and Mr. Rand spent 4 hours with me on a rainy SUNDAY afternoon to help me prepare. Tom knows many different areas of law- my complaint was against a condo association- his preparation helped me overcome the opposition which had TWO high priced lawyers presenting their case.
I would (and WILL) work with Tom in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire a knowledgeable attorney with solid credentials.

After going through three previous attorneys, Mr. Rand was referred to my unique and difficult custody case. The intricacies and nuance required to effectively present and adjudicate this case was near perfect from the start - for the most part it required time and an earnest interest on Mr.Rands part and that's precisely what I received in the end. Highly reccomend!!!

If you are lucky enough to have Tom Rand represent you, know that you have the best! Tom represented our company in a major lawsuit and absolutely hammered the opposition. Tom does not miss anything and is EXTREMELY smart. Tom is exceptional in his attention to detail and will work tirelessly to ensure he explores every possible angle in your case, giving you the best opportunity to be victorious in your case. We consider ourselves very lucky to have him on our side and would (and frequently do) refer him without a second thought!

In a world where time is money, most attorneys are hard pressed to talk to people without being compensated. Today Attorney Torrence took the time to answer questions & provide options regarding a potential action. I sent an email to her on yesterday, she responded TODAY. She was not short or hurried and was MOST professional, knowledgeable and reasonable. She took her time and explained my options. It was pleasure to speak with her. And though I may not file an action that employs her TODAY, the time and the care that she took today is going to go a long way in helping to decide who I should go to when the time comes. She positively enhanced those things I think are good about the legal profession while dispelling some of the ill conceptions that I have about the legal profession. Her demeanor compels you to want to work with her.

I have had the opportunity to work with many good attorneys throughtout my career but Don makes me feel like I am his only client. So no matter what the issue (concerning my company or personal matters), he can get them resolved for me. But even more impressive is that Don will respond within hours to my request and then keep on it for me until it is completed to my satisfaction... taking the time throughout the process to make certain I understand the ramifications of all that we do.

Millard Bennett is one of the most capable and knowledgeable attorneys in our region. His approach is extremely creative yet practical. He has been my corporate attorney since the creation of our business in 1994, and has been more responsive than anyone could have hoped for.

His fees are reasonable, especially in light of the caliber of the legal work we have received.

I cannot recommend Shawn C. Whittaker highly enough. Not only is he a very well-respected litigator by his peers (especially in real estate, condominium, and HOA law; he is admitted in DC, MD, and VA), he is keenly intelligent and has a phenomenal memory. He also gets high marks for being ethical, fair, humane, and generous with his knowledge, experience, and time. He extended help to me and respected my deadline by promptly responding to my emails and phone calls, reviewing a letter I had written to an adversarial attorney, and allowing me to CC him on it BEFORE asking for a dime or retainer agreement, all of which convinced me to retain him over three other lawyers. He's truly one-of-a-kind and a powerful credit to the profession. Other lawyers would do themselves a favor by emulating him in every respect.

Tracy was relentless in getting the bank to compensate me for my damages. And, she never waivered in her support of my claim. She always did what was in my best interest. And, deferred to me for all decisions as to how the case should proceed. We never made it to court because the bank settled the case. I would definitely hire her again.

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.
