Richard was exceptional. You just don't have attorneys who would respond as quickly. He called me within minutes. I spent weeks reaching out to attorneys. Only a very few responded but none could help me. Richard was very knowledge and offered me great advice. Thank you so very much.Highly recommended

I own a retail computer repair shop in Gloucester Massachusetts.
We on occasion have the need for data recovery services. We were solicited by Fat Guy Bald Guy Computer services in 2015 and inn the hopes we would use their data recovery service. We obliged and availed ourselves of their services which initially were excellent. Over time however the level of service deteriorated to the point where we could not contact them either by phone or email in regards to 2 hard drives we had sent them for data recovery. Upon speaking to Richard he immediately researched the company and located their legal name and drafted a demand letter which he promptly sent to them. We are awaiting a response. Richard is the consummate professional and his knowledge in these matters is exceptional. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance or advice.

Attorney Wise has handled several complex business issues for me and for my Company. Each of them were dealt with intense effort, unusual creativity, excellent research and review. He was patient in his consideration and asked probing questions of me and my associates. In one matter involving a bank transaction, he displayed superior legal experience and had the bank's attorneys respectfully tied up in a knot.

I had a minority shareholder working for my company that was just not performing up to our company’s standards and actually blocking its growth. I offered to fairly buy the shareholder out and we came to an agreement and shook hands on it over dinner. A day before the shareholder was to sign she backed out. John Andrews was recommended to me by a trusted adviser of my company, and what a great recommendation it turned out to be. John handled the case perfectly and efficiently negotiating a very fair buyout, without litigation, in a matter of months when these types of situations can easily last years! He handled everything so I could run my company without the distractions these type of situations normally produce. He concisely explained all my options defining the pros and cons of each important decision in a non-legalese way that allowed me to understand them so I could make the important decisions. He was responsive with communications even at night, weekends and holidays. I trust John implicitly. In fact I now consult John on much more than just legal advice with my company; I now draw on his expertise for all of my important life/financial decisions and their subsequent legal matters. I highly recommend John to anyone in a legal bind and/or just for sound professional legal advice.
Sincerely,
Matt

I found John on Lawyers .com and he was the only lawyer to call me back promptly, as I only had 1 day to find a lawyer before my court date. He listened to my problem advised me that i should meet with him that day, due to certain issues i could not and still took my case anyway. I meet John for the first time at the court and I knew right away I hired the right man for the job!!! He told me the good and the bad that could happen and in the end with only one more court appearence my case was over in my favor and I could not be happier with the results!!!!! CASE DISMISSED!!!!
Thank you John

I had reason to need a lawyer not too long ago and John made what could have been a very painful experience into one that I could handle. John went above and beyond to make sure no one else took advantage of me or my situation. I feel that anyone that requires a lawyer should do themselves a favor and hire a lawyer that is very approachable for the client but aggressive when it comes to fighting for his clients rights. I would gladly advise that John be the first call in pretty much all circumstances and stand back and let a true professional bring it home.

My husband and I had an incredible experience working with Matt when we bought our house and sold our condo. He was deeply knowledgeable in all facets of the process, helped us through a variety of hurdles we ran into along the way with patience and understanding, and was unfailingly kind throughout the entire experience. Should we ever choose to buy or sell again we would reach out to him in a heartbeat, and we recommend him and his firm without reservation.

Dena Dionne is the best lawyer I've ever met! She's refuses to drop a case. I parked in her parking space, and she asked me to move. I said don't worry about it, we'll move. She spent the next 5 minutes berating me to get down to the bottom of it. She continued to question me when I moved my car around the corner. She is a relentless lawyer, who will not stop until she gets justice! She even took pictures of my license plate, meaning she does her homework. I am an upstanding citizen who rarely has trouble with the law. But next time I do, guess where I'm going.? Dionne & White!

Diane represented me through my protracted divorce for years and continues to represent me today. She has been encouraging, supportive, professional, and determined. She has the experience and knowledge that fosters confidence and trust in her capabilities. Most importantly, Diane will tell you what "need to hear" not what you "want to hear". This is the hallmark of a great attorney.

Not only did Diane provide excellent representation for my divorce proceedings, but she was genuinely kind and empathetic to the emotional side of such an event. I was more than pleased with the results and support from both Diane and her staff. They were excellent.

I consulted with Mr. Fanikos on a business matter. He took all the time I needed listen to me and was very patient. I had some initial concerns since my matters were very serious and I am kind of important. Nevertheless, Mr. Fanikos was very helpful and I would recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney. L.B.

Julie was the closing attorney that I hired, and because of the ease of that transaction, I would not hesitate to refer her to anyone making their first - or last! - home purchase. Julie took the time to educate me on the process (being a first time home buyer) to be sure that I understood every part of the transaction. She is well-educated, informative, friendly - and goes above and beyond for her clients!!

Pierce ,Pierce & Napolitano was recommended by a friend after I'd been injured at work. When the insurance company stopped paying me i made the call. Judson Pierce was able to get me everything I wanted. I recieved payment for every week I was out and in the end he negotiated a settlement I very happy with. And almost all of this happened with just emails between myself and Jud. I could not recommended them more highly.

When I got injured at work in 2020 I couldn't have imagined that I'd have over 8 surgeries in like 1 year or that I'd have multiple infections and blood transfusions, nor did I expect to go into AFib. I would never have assumed it would take almost 4 years to finally get to the finish line and reach a settlement with my former employer insurance. The settlement, by the way, was more than I could have imagined. Through all of this, the fine people at Pierce, Pierce and Napolitano were by side and in my corner. From my initial meeting with Allen who instantly made me feel confident I'd come to the right place to Grace and finally Dan who were both very professional, I can't say enough. Every step of the way I was educated on what was happening and every question I had was answered. I also have to extend a big thank you to the support staff, the ones you don't see who do case law research, paperwork, filing, etc. The entire firm is stellar. My family and I are so grateful for the time and effort given and we could not be any happier with the outcome.
So, if you need a workman's comp attorney, which I hope you don't cause it means you're injured and that sucks, but if you do I implore you to contact Pierce Pierce and Napolitano. You'll be in the best hands you can be.

Mr. Drucas told me that he would handle the closing on our home for $600 and said the cost shouldn't exceed that unless something unusual happened. When I received the closing documents, I saw that Mr. Drucas took several thousand dollars out at closing using his Power or Attorney. I called and he said he had to negotiate some items, but i was never notified of the negotiations or the increased charges, but had to find them on my own on the closing documents. The man is a crook. He knew we were moving out of state and took advantage of us. I filed a complaint with the bar but of course it was his story against mine. Hire him at your own risk.

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.
