I highly recommend Attack that Ticket for handling moving violations. I drive fast cars and invevitably get 1 or 2 tickets each year for speeding or whatever. This used to cause me a lot of stress. Now I just e-mail a copy of the violation to Attack That Ticket and send them a check for a few hundred bucks. They take care of everything from there. Although there are no guarantees they always manage to reduce the charge so that I don't get any points on my license. Sometimes they get the charges dropped completely! I don't have to waste time and energy going to court and dealing with all the bureaucracy. Getting tickets is a drag. But whenever I use Attack That Ticket I feel like I'm investing in my peace of mind. For the cost of a dinner my ticket woes are eliminated.

Fran is a detail-oriented and outstanding professional who I have known for 15 years and over the course of two family-related legal situations.
I have had the ability to see how she works in relation to her colleagues and I have never ceased to be impressed by her abilities, intelligence and dedication to excellence. She has impressed me on every occasion.
I also find Fran to be an extraordinary and kind human being. This is never lost in her work.
I would recommend her without reservation.

As Fran's client, I found her to always conduct herself with professionalism and calm in the midst of a stressful time. She has the ability to focus on achieving the end result desired, and provided the guidance to get me there. I am very satisfied and would highly recommend her to others going through a divorce or child support issue.

I have known Frances since 2002 when I contacted her to assist me with my divorce. Since then, she has helped me with related issues including child support. I have found her to be extremely knowledgeable, friendly and responsive. In addition, she has common sense and has kept me focused on the important matters at hand, even in the midst of my own emotional turmoil. Time has proven, for me, that her decisions on some critical issues (such as what to pursue and what to drop) were good ones. Since the beginning of my relationship with her, she has provided me with peace of mind and the assurance that all will be well... which it is!

Mr. Verna has been a Competent Attorney who was able to complete tasks that took other lawyers years to complete. On May 24, 2022, I retained Mr. Verna's Services to represent my Company on a Copyright Infringement case and an Action in Paris, France with our Company having Jurisdiction and Governing Law in New York, USA. In the Span of less than one year, Mr. Verna managed to File a Summons and Complaint in US Federal Court and Served (put on notice) Several Companies in Paris, France which require service to be done through the "Hague." This resulted in Complete Service and Accomplishment under French Law. The Case is Currently on the Calander with the United States Federal Court. Mr. Verna was effective and efficient at a fraction of the Cost I have paid other lawyers to Represent me in Similar Court Cases Internationally (London, Rome, etc.) I give Mr. Verna a "5 Star Review" and I am 100% satisfied. I would Highly Recommend Him. Sincerely, Alfredo Leone

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.
