Kathryn went above and beyond to assist my customers with their home closing during Hurricane Milton. She was determined to make it happen, even joking she’d go by canoe if needed! Her dedication and professionalism are truly remarkable. I couldn’t have asked for a more committed and amazing professional.
Thank you for all you do!

Mr. Patel and his team clearly care about their clients and are highly effective at resolving their issues. There are a lot of law firms out there who seem to only care about making a buck, but Old City Law is one of the rare ones that put their clients’ needs above their own. Can’t recommend them enough!

I was involved in a business contract lawsuit. Corneal Law Firm came highly recommended by a friend, who is a trial lawyer. Seth and Alex took my case, explained to me in common sense the plan, and had my case dropped very quickly. While their rates are very reasonable, you will get top-notch contract lawyers who will help you with your contract issues. I definitely recommend this firm!

I was a client of Joshua Harris. He helped me tremendously with the civil legal process, and in the end it was a very positive outcome with a civil ending. I believe this would not of happened without his representation. I am greatly appreciative of what he did for me.

Mr. Harris was always very informative, quick to respond, and caring. English is not my first language, but he made all the legal jargon easy to understand and really walked me step by step through the entire legal process. Regardless of what time of day it was, Joshua would respond and really made it a point to take his time to make sure I was understanding what is going on. He was my divorce lawyer and while that process was extremely difficult and at first overwhelming, he really made sure that I was aware of all my options and was really caring. I cannot say enough good things about him.

Kim was very reachable throughout my process, which I needed, and continue to need. I have worked with Kim to syndicate my first multi-family property and she guided me through the process. Actually, at times, reaching beyond expectations to help me in my process as she has experience in the MF industry as an owner as well. I feel she is more of a teammate, and I will benefit from her guidance as I move down my path. I would (and do) recommend Kim for RE Syndication's, TIC's, DST's etc.

You cannot go wrong with John Galletta. He is always available for you, usually right away. I have never had to wait an unreasonable amount of time for him. He treats you like you are his only client. Additionally his fees are so reasonable I actually called him once to ask if I've paid him all I owed! Unbelievable! I have had need of good lawyers in the past, from time to time and I can assure you he is the only lawyer I have ever actually called to make sure I'm paid up with! Anyway sometimes I read these reviews and wonder if they are paid reviews. This review is definitely unsolicited and I am in no way related to John. I recently referred a friend to John and he is giving him the same great service for the same great price as he did for me. This is just how he does business. Again, you cannot go wrong with John Galletta!

Mr. Galletta and staff are wonderful to work with. We used his law firm for a probate case from when my husbands dad passed away suddenly. Even though it was a difficult time, this office was totally on top of things and compassionate too. I highly recommend using Mr. Galletta for probate or what ever you need. He will treat you fairly and help you out through the entire process!!! Thank you Mr. Galletta for helping our family!!!!!

I asked a hypothetical question regarding whether "entrapment" could be considered for a dog being lured onto a property...because it seems to be only used for humans.
This lady accused me condemned, condemned me, and has determined that I am guilty of being a careless dog owner who allows his dog onto a neighbors property. ...its a hypothetical question, along the lines of a bar exam question! WOW! She has some real issues, imo!!

Our small company hired Mercer Kutch and paid them thousands of dollars to handle our case. It was NOT money well spent. While Matt Mercer is personally nice, in hindsight he made tactical legal errors that hindered our case. Further, without our prior knowledge or consent, in the middle, Matt transferred the case to a new junior associate at his firm. Thereafter, we were billed for hours of additional legal time that was spent by the associate who apparently needed to come up to speed on the history of our case. We paid the fees without complaining but it was unprofessional and left a very bad impression. Also, the "front end" of MercerKutch was sub-par. Overall, I would not use this firm again.

I would give a -5 star review and worse, the most inept firm I’ve ever dealt with, lost me my house or any reasonable compensation, in spite of the strong case and mounds of documentation I had to back my claims and the complete lack of anything substantial to support the other party’s claim. I did all the leg work, wrote all the proposals, yet was billed as though they did. Even if I didn’t have as good of a claim as I knew I did, there was one tiny, pathetic (and I mean pathetic, especially since I had all the documentation and the opposing party had none) argument made, lost paperwork, missed deadlines, extremely unprofessionally scattered, zero support throughout the process, ultimately bullied me to take a ridiculous settlement out of pure laziness or conspiring with the opposing team, honestly if it wasn’t incompetence then it was corruption, nothing else could explain how truly bad his ineptness was. This firm received more $ than I did in the end. Would only recommend to whomever you want to loose.

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.
