When I called Stange Law Firm to help me with my divorce. Tha first Lawyer I felt was just sitting on my case. The next thing that happened is I received a call from Stange Law Firm stating that I am going to be assigned to another Lawyer. Boy was I upset because I didn't think that they can walk away in the middle of a case. Well I just prayed and continued on with the other Lawyer. To my surprise I was assigned too Tim Camreon. Let me tell you what took the other Lawyer 5 mounths to do Tim Cameron did it in two weeks. Tim Cameron was very respectful and caring . He made me feel very confident that something would develop in my case. Rest a sure he won my case in two weeks. I would recommend Stange Law Firm to anyone that needs help the way I did. I thank you Tim for everything you have done for me. You truly earned my respect. Know I can move on with my life. I owe it all to Tim Cameron.

I am so lucky to have found such an amazing woman. I lost all hope after my husband passed. She helped me solve all my problems. Every conversation with her on the phone helped me to believe in a good outcome. She went above and beyond to comfort me. She is a very caring person. I will be forever grateful. Basia

I contacted Diana for legal guidance on an upcoming book I am publishing. She is very easy to talk to, takes the time to explain things and understands that your time is valuable. She researched the project and turned around the needed paperwork in a timely manner, and for a reasonable cost. She is well-versed in entertainment legal matters and understands creative components. I will definitely continue to contact her for future projects.

It isn't often I get into a situation that I can't find a way out of and have to resort to legal means. I didn't want to litigate but try to find someone who could advise me on my other potential options. Ms. Laskaris came to me through a personal referral by a friend whom I trust. He told me that she could help me and if not, would be honest and tell me so before she took any money. I called her and, though hesitant at first, after talking for just a little while that she "got" me and my situation and would help. I am an entertainer and my reputation means everything. I don't want to be labeled a trouble-maker or difficult person to deal with, so standing up for myself when my rights had been trampled on was difficult. Ms. Laskaris became more than attorney to me, she was and is a trusted adviser. She is honest, reasonable in pricing, and goes so far beyond what you would expect that five stars isn't really enough. If you have any doubt about hiring or dealing with an attorney, stop doubting. Hire Diana Laskaris. You will be glad you did.

My wife and I unexpectedly found ourselves in the position of taking care of a relative who was beginning to show signs of Alzheimer's. Michael had set up trusts for each of us in prior years, so we contacted him to assist us in caring for our relative. Michael provided guidance for us to ensure our relatives' safety, provide for the relatives' long term care, and ensure that the relatives' assets would be protected and used for their benefit in accordance with their wishes. The process was not easy, but Michael coached us through the maze.
Michael also set up a Special Needs Trust so that we could provide a legacy for a relative of ours who is not capable of handling her own affairs.
Michael does not simply draft a trust and disappear, but keeps us informed of changes in the laws and provides periodic updates to the trust documents to ensure that our trusts will continue to provide the protection we need today and 'ease of use' for our trustees and heirs tomorrow.

Jim Pesoli helped me develop a television pilot from concept to creation. Not only is he intelligent, thoughtful and protective of his clients' interests; he's also not afraid to get his hands dirty on a set. He has a wealth of knowledge in event and entertainment production, and without him, I'd still be swimming in circles attempting to achieve my goals.

Frank Vazquez is no doubt one of the best lawyers I've had.

Lynn Wypych could use some improvement, and here is why…
1. Does not answer the telephone or take phone calls. Hides behind emails
2. Overcharges. As a state appointed employee, she nickel and dimes hard working families
3. Does not explain her decisions. She is the second most powerful person in your divorce, and she does not explain the why behind her decisions. She just comes down hard on families with unjust recommendations to the court, and when questioned, hides behind emails and will not get back to you or your attorney.
There is always more to the story, but these are the basics. She has charged my ex-wife and I over $50,000 for effectively nothing. Yes, I am upset with the fact that I have been on supervised visits for three years without explanation as to why or what needs to be done on my part to relieve the supervision. Another $25,000 sent to the supervisor with no end in sight and an excellent track record with the visits / great relationship with my children, it should be obvious as to why I am annoyed with Lynn. A telephone call on her part may be a start in mending the relationship, but I won’t hold my breath…

Rebecca was my fourth attorney in an awful case against my second children’s father! She helped me settle both cases with both my children’s father in under 6 months! She’s affordable and amazing! She sticks to the point and gets the deal signed. I’ve never met an attorney so trusting and focused! Rebecca can handle all divorce and custody needs. She goes above and beyond for her clients. What an amazing experience despite the nature. Thank you!!!!

I had the pleasure of dealing with one of the principles of the firm, Mike Angelina, who spent time explaining the procedures and navigation of Illinois real estate law to me while I was selling an income property from another state. Mike informed me I'd work with one of his associates, but he took the time to speak with me at the beginning and end of my services with his firm... It was an impressive experience and I felt I had maximized my selling opportunity with the assistance of his law firm. I would highly recommend his services for real estate transacting in the Chicago Area.

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.
