Stephanie Berg helped me with certain aspects of my business and I was highly satisfied with her services. Her knowledge and experience was perfect for my particular needs. She was extraordinarily efficient, which was greatly appreciated. She was very kind and generous with additional support that I requested later as well. I feel very comfortable giving her my strongest recommendation, and intend to continue to seek her counsel in the future.

I feel empowered as a business owner with Attorney Berg in my corner. She helped me to understand business law, and has been an invaluable partner as I navigate the complex waters of owning a small medical business. She helped me create contracts, waivers, and given me advice on telemedicine and business law. If you are reading this, then you are lucky to have found her!

I consulted with Stephanie for help with my health care contracts, agreements, membership plans. I practice functional medicine and needed a qualified attorney with experience in this area of medicine. She knew exactly how to proceed, what to recommend, reviewed my documents and gave me her professional, legal advice on revising my documents that were appropriate for my practice. She knows the health care industry well, especially the ever growing and innovative area of functional medicine. She completed this in a timely manner and sent them to me for review. She has excellent attention to detail, she's professional, and she's also incredibly friendly and personable, compassionate and really understands this area of medicine. She was perfect for the job and I highly recommend her!

If more lawyers conducted themselves like Michael Moulton, there would be no "Lawyers at the bottom of the ocean" jokes. I cannot articulate in the short paragraph here, how fortunate I feel to have Michael Moulton in my "inner circle" of council. I vetted him quite extensively and his reputation exceeded my expectations. As an entrepreneur, I sleep better at night knowing he is in my corner. While the firm is growing exponentially, he still manages to make me feel if I am his only client.

I had the pleasure of having Alan Van Gelder represent me for a major injury. There aren’t enough words to describe how grateful I am to Alan. He’s an AMAZING attorney. He’s very passionate about his work, he’s thorough and he really fought for me and for these reasons he got me a successful outcome in my case. He was very professional and responsive. Even if we did not get a successful outcome, I would have been ok just knowing how hard he fought on my case. Knowing how much he cared means the world to me. I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me during the most difficult time in my life. If you ever hire Alan to represent you, I promise you will not regret it because he genuinely cares about his clients, and he will fight for you from beginning to end. Alan is the BEST!

She is the kind of lawyer, who would sit down and explain things on how things work in the legal matter, but she is still fighting for me hard and she very patient and deeply understanding with me being deaf, and I have not got the results yet but she is trying very hard during week and weekends on getting results really fast, and she doesn't take any bull from other companies, and I would advise people to use her as your lawyer.

It's always great when you hire a professional for a task and the experience is better far above what is expected. I am late in my review and just realized when I looked up Juliana's contact information that I never put in a review which is long overdue & warranted. Just that, professional, knowledgeable & made our experience a wonderful one. We used her services for immigration and recommend her highly. We have a referral for her now and know she will handle it excellently as she did for us. Thanks again!

Juliana is very knowledgeable and helpful. She works well with the immigrant community and is able to interact seamlessly with Chinese. (she speaks both Chinese and English very well.) I needed some immigration help and she helped me get all of the necessary paperwork in very quickly. She's very respectable, kind, understanding and well composed. I would recommend her to anyone, but especially Chinese.

I was involved in a scooter vs. car accident in May of 2017. I was on my scooter and there was a collision with a sedan on a city street where I live in Los Angeles. I found out a few days later that my AC joint was sprained because of the impact of the collision. The day of and half of the day after the accident I was in sort of like a shock state. I had never been in an auto accident before and I was thankful that I wasn't more severely injured. At the same time, I had a pain in my shoulder that I knew wasn't going to just go away on its own. I was referred to Schwimer and Weinstein because my case involved "soft tissue" injuries. I spoke with them on the phone and they agreed to represent me in my case. Immediately, they set up appointments for me with specialists to figure out exactly what kind of damage my shoulder had sustained. After I saw the specialists I was referred to physical therapy. Schwimer and Weinstein found a physical therapy office 2 blocks from my house and got everything in order to begin treatment. During and after my physical therapy my case started to develop. Schwimer and Weinstein spoke with the other drivers insurance company and handled all the paperwork. I would get updates every couple weeks about my case and sometimes I would get news that seemed like it was bad, but I was always assured that they believed in my case and that the outcome would be good. Whenever I had any questions I could call or email the office and they would answer my questions until I understood. I was never rushed off the phone and they always took their time to go over anything I wanted to. That was really great because the legal system takes weeks and months to move and I would get anxious about everything. Overall I am truly satisfied with the outcome of my case and the amount of work Schwimer and Weinstein put in for me!

Throughout the entire process of drafting/negotiating contracts; SOWs, Retainers, and VC funding, I felt like Gary was prompt in his response time and moving the projects along. He would translate the contracts in layman terms and made it very easy to provide adjustments and changes if required. I trust his capabilities and counsel.

James is very professional and he does what he says he's going to do for you as a client. He worked for Tax Lifeboat, a firm specializing in helping people clean up the mess of unfiled and/or unpaid tax returns. I have 5 years of returns I owed the IRS, and James was a big part of cleaning up the mess and getting the IRS off my back by getting them to stop collection efforts for over 2 years in my case while I had the returns prepared and then continued helping as an intermediary between the IRS and me while they were processing these returns. He did a great job.

Naveed is a fantastic entertainment lawyer! He was referred to me by Kathy Heller, who runs the entertainment law program at Chapman University, so I had high hopes, and was not disappointed. We worked together on a sticky contract, and his advice was useful and nuanced for both my experience in the industry and my goals. Now I regularly refer him to other writers. He's also a generous human--he did a Q & A for a screenwriting lab that I teach, and gave the students some clear legal basics, so they are more prepared for a career.

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
