I would like to take this opportunity to inform you of the outstanding work David Herman and New Day Law Group performed as my legal representation in settlement negotiations.
As a client experiencing financial hardship, I was in a position of significant stress. David Herman stepped in with optimism and determination and negotiated a settlement that I would not have been able to do with my limited experience. His confidence and professional experience enabled him to quickly deal with my situation. David is one of those unique individuals who is willing to take on seemingly impossible challenges and make a personal commitment to ensure it is done ‘right’.

Mr. Hogreve was a pleasure to work with on the closing of my condominium. He and his Paralegal Kathy were instrumental in making sure we closed on our closing date due to their commitment in communicating effectively with my lender. The closing was flawless and extremely expedient. This was my first home buying experience and I'm so thankful they were there to walk me through everything making a stressful situation not stressful at all. I will recommend his firm to anyone who is looking for closing services, estate planning and incorporation.

I have worked in Real Estate for over 20 years and have worn many hats from engineer,developer,builder to real estate advisor. I have sat on both sides of the settlement table and worked with numerous attorneys. I have always found Mr. Rosenberg and his staff to be outstanding in every way. David and his staff are extremely knowledgable. The quality of service is always outstanding. Recently, I have closed many CREO properties with Banks and the feedback from the Banks is always excellent to the point one Regional Bank always requests David to handle their closings. Personnally, David handled an aviation settlement for me and the process was timely and efficient. I would highly recommend David and his excellent staff.

I am impressed by Erik’s legal knowledge and most importantly the diversity of his legal expertise. So many attorneys have a narrow expertise and they commonly do not see the big picture. If you have a business transaction or estate planning issue would be one attorney with which I would recommend you consult.

We are from Canada and we were looking forward to buy a franchise business in Arizona. Mr McDonagh had to work closely not only with us, but with our immigration attorney, the franchiser, the sellers and the escrow agent. We were impressed by his ability to coordinate the communications between all parties. He always delivered quick responses to every one. We also want to mention his tremendous professionalism. He is very knowledgeable and we felt we could count on him. We would strongly recommend Mr McDonagh to anyone!

On short notice, I contacted Chris McDonagh while involved with the sale of my business and office building. While I had hired a supposedly highly experienced business broker, I felt there was a need for an attorney review. Turns out that it became a lot of work for Mr McDonagh to keep up with all the work my broker didn't do or did wrong. Mr McDonagh is thorough, professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. He was on top of a very fast-paced situation and gave me a sense of satisfaction in knowing that my interests were being
protected. He kept me informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend Christopher McDonagh for anyone needing an extremely competent and responsive attorney.

Only had a consult, but truly a professional and extremely thoughtful person who demonstrated a superb knowledge of real estate law. He looked thoroughly at the documents, I sent him and provided an plan of action. I wanted to use him, but since my case was in Phoenix, I was concerned about the distance, only to find out after I had already signed with another attorney that he does not charge for travel time to Phoenix. Again, thank you Mr. McDonagh for taking a look at our case.

Our company was blessed to come across Joe Herbert a few months ago. We were new to the legal system and were scared out of our minds with a large civil case. We had met with other attorneys and hired one other that we found not to be a great fit. From our first meeting with Joe we knew he was different from the others. He truly cared about what was going on, presented us with all our options, and then advised us on the best course of action. He spent the time answering all our calls and emails even while out of town. Joe had everything under control the entire time, including our fears. Joe is a rare breed these days. I highly recommend Joe Herbert! Thank you for all your help!

Doing the time Joseph Herbert has worked on my case, he has been approachable and open to consider my thoughts on the case. What Separates him is I could bounce my thoughts off of him without negative feedback. He shared why he felt it was a good approach or why it may not be the best approach.
His knowledge of the law as well as client communication is excellent. He works hard and believed in my case. So I would recommend him to anyone seeking a highly qualified attorney!

I had just about given up when a friend asked me to give ICard Merrill a call and that is how I met Joe Herbert. He listened patiently and was very honest and upfront but also hopeful. I had spoken to between 10 and 15 lawyers about the problem. They would not even see me about my problem!
My condo was destroyed by a horrible water leak from the unit above me. The unit was owned and rented by the Condo Association. I had complained about the leak but was told that it was from condensation from the shower my son had just taken and that I needed a new ceiling fan. Needless to say, my unit developed a horrible mold problem along with damage to the walls, carpet etc. The Condo Association refused to help me and instead handed me a water bill for over $3200.00 and told me it was because I had a running toilet.
I had contacted the Business organization who takes care of these problems in Florida but they only fined the Association.
Joe Herbert wrote a letter, the most detailed, powerful, to the point letter I have ever read. The result was....not only did I get paid several thousand dollars in damages, but I did not have to pay the $3,200.00 water bill!!!
Joe Herbert advised me on every step to take in order to ensure the absolute best outcome. I was so fortunate to have met such a kind, intelligent and honorable person. Thank you

My appointments with attorney Evans were by far the very best. They were productive, professional, precise, friendly, courteous and thoughtful. He was hired to produce new, updated, documents, i.e., will, power of attorney and medical directive. These were completed quickly and ready for pick up in a week. His staff was professional and thorough. I am most pleased with the service and highly recommend Lee & Evans, PA to anyone needing legal assistance.

I spoke with David on the phone initially involving a family member and possibly amending a Power of Attorney document that was drafted before the new Florida laws came into effect after 2011. During the initial phone call, David was very honest with me and my wife with our legal situation. David offered a level of professional trust that was immediately obvious. David was a referral and I can now see why he comes highly recommended.

John Wickman handled two real estate closings for my wife and me in the past several months. One was a sale, the other was a purchase. I could not be more pleased with his work. He and his team are professional and thorough, and ensure that all steps needing to be completed are done so in a timely manner. John also knows how to address the "blips" that often arise in these situations and make them disappear. I will have John handle future real estate matters for me, and highly recommend him to anyone involved in any real estate transaction!

I hired John to do the closing for my new home, the amount of information that John provided me helped me and my wife to have confidence in the property we were purchasing. John dedicated plenty of time for me and my wife to ask lots of questions and his knowledge made us feel really comfortable. Great sense of humor, very friendly. a pleasure to deal with. His staff is also top notch and available to answer my every need. The best is too little to describe him.

There are lots of lawyers out there that claim to know foreclosure defense but not many really do! This I witnessed first hand in court during my episode. Mr Teuber knows his stuff and gives you options that allow you to make the best decisions. Truly the right choice if you are (or soon will be) in foreclosure.

Ben was very prompt in helping us resolve an eviction of two tenants. We as homeowners had been trying to evict these tenants for over a year. We hired a lawyer (not Ben) who was difficult to talk to and overcharged us for his services. Then we hired Ben who happens to sing in the same chorus as us. Ben acted immediately on our behalf filing all the necessary paperwork resulting in the tenants moving out within a couple of weeks. We are forever grateful to Ben and his professionalism in this matter. His hourly rate was very reasonable. He also kept us up to date with his progress via e-mail.

I hired Anne for a short sale which she represented my interests succussfully. She was also called again to protect my interests again when one of the parties failed to fulfill their agreement and was posting inaccurate information on my credit report. She boldly went where other attorney's failed and again, corrected the situation in short order. I think she is awesome and highly disappointed that this legal challenge went against her. Her plaintiff in this case probably was overreaching in their so-called rights in the First Amendment.

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.
