Natalya is an exceptional lawyer—knowledgeable, experienced, and efficient. From our first consultation, she was direct and respectful of my time. She helped me secure a successful approval of my I-140 petition for an EB2 NIW immigration visa. She delivers on her promises without overselling, which Igreatly value. Highly recommended!

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Natalia and her entire team for their professionalism, punctuality, and responsible approach to their work. I spent a long time searching for an immigration lawyer and even consulted with some of the most famous legal bloggers, who don’t come close to Natalia’s level of expertise and dedication. Thanks to her, my L1 visa was approved, and I’m looking forward to continuing our collaboration in this direction next year. I highly recommend Natalia and her team. Thank you for your excellent work! Хочу выразить искреннюю благодарность Наталье и всей ее команде за профессионализм, пунктуальность и ответственный подход к делу. Я долго искал миграционного юриста, брал консультации, в том числе у самых известных блогеров-юристов, которые даже близко не стоят к Наталье по уровню компетенции и отношению к делу. Благодаря ее работе мне была одобрена виза L1, и через год мы обязательно продолжим сотрудничество в этом направлении. Всем рекомендую! Спасибо за вашу замечательную работу!

I reached out to Grant for counsel on an employment matter and he provided prompt and actionable advice as I navigated a stressful negotiation regarding my equity plan and separation from the company. Grant went above and beyond to help me come to the right decision for how I wanted to handle my employer and at the end of the day, I was pleased at the outcome and eager to move on to greener pastures. Thank you Grant for your knowledgable, kind, and thorough evaluation. I look forward to working with you again on a more positive project!

I am extremely grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Salwin and having retained him as my legal representative. Initially; I was quite nervous and apprehensive when I called Mr. Salwin and his office — I was told by other lawyers at other law firms that I should “just plea guilty and move on” — and I was not being taken seriously at other firms. Upon our first meeting Mr. Salwin immediately put me at ease. I knew that I was in good hands. His calm and friendly demeanor coupled with his extensive knowledge and breadth of expertise in the legal field is remarkable. Notably, he made sure to thoroughly answer all questions, is very patient and shows genuine concern about his clients. I can’t thank him enough for our successful resolution. Highly recommended!

I got into a car accident over the summer and when I was asking around at work for attorneys to help me out, our amazing HR, Kristy, had recommended Parham Hakimi to me and I am so glad I listened to her. Parham was an absolute shark working on my case and taking care of everything. A mutual of mine was also looking for an attorney to help her out and I immediately recommended him. I have never been in a situation like the one I was in, but he was very trustworthy and accommodating to updates, phone calls, etc. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to take care of this case and if anyone is looking for someone to take care of theirs, Parham Hakimi is the attorney to go to!

When my little girl passed away it was devastating. I went on his website and filled a brief description of daughter’s case. He called immediately, we spoke for awhile. I gave a few medical records and by the next few days he reached out me and took the case. Craig was very compassionate and would always respond if I had any questions or concerns. He always encouraged us to do what we felt was right. After 10 years of working with Craig knapp and his team they were part of our family. They were very professional and respectful of our daughters case. I am a nurse by profession, I am amazed at how much medical knowledge Craig Knapp and his team have. My daughter would be proud Craig helped to bring justice to our daughter’s medical negligence. We settled far more than we expected. Thank you Knapp and Roberts

This was despite the fact that his advice to me would not bring him my business in this situation. I could tell that Marc had my best interests in mind by the advice he gave me.

I contacted Attorney Marc Lieberman in January to help me with a real estate transaction that just was out of control...the realtor did not do one thing to sell my home besides list it for sale. The realtor tried to adjust the original contract without my knowledge or permission to change his commission and forced me to use a title company who would not take my calls and tried to make sure he received his new commission rate! I emailed Attorney Lieberman through Avvo shortly after my house was under contract. Within 5 minutes I received an email back with answers from Attorney Lieberman!! After a few days of emailing, Attorney Lieberman advised that I should wait to retain him until I was ready to file a lawsuit. He gave me the cost in advance (ball park) and mentioned that he would assist me with questions until/if that time came. I would have to say Attorney Lieberman is an amazing attorney, he offered to help me at any hour of the day, was honest, and really made an impression with me.

I would strongly recommend Marc Lieberman as an attorney. He has the ability to work through complex situations and is a true deal maker. He is also very skilled at focusing on the important issues and being very efficient with his time. Marc does not get caught up in the ego battles many lawyers get caught up in, which merely costs clients time, money and considerable aggravation. With his soft manner, Marc is able to be both tough and effective, without letting the legal process spin out of control. This is a rare quality found in today's legal profesion. This of course saves money in that he is not just looking to run up the bill. Most importantly, I always feel Marc has the clients best interests in mind when giving advice and providing legal services. Marc also has a great team of professionals he works with and will delegate tasks when appropriate. In summary, I highly recommend Marc Lieberman due to his intelligence, service (always top notch) and his ability to put his clients' interest first.

I phoned all three law firms and only Bivens responded to my voice mail. It was extremely important to word our trust correctly so that my spouse did not lose his ALTC benefits for any unforeseen event. Megan Selvey was knowledgeable, confident and was able to help us word our trust properly. Thank you for guiding me through the maze of trusts and ALTC and for taking the time to thoroughly explain the reasoning for proper wording in our trust.

Not great. I feel anyone who is reaching out to this law firm is dealing with something that is urgent and is most likely filled with anxiety. At least that was me when I contacted them. I called their offices and was greeted by the receptionist who seemed to care but said I needed to go to the website to complete the contact form. It's a little weird to fill out such personal and confidential information and send it into outer space but I went ahead and did it. After waiting 24 hours and followed up. The receptionist who I spoke with responded and asked more questions and asked that I upload all the evidence. After a week of waiting and getting the run around, I never heard back from them. Super unreliable and intrusive process. Not a good company and definitely not recommended.

I cannot express my gratitude to Mr. William Morris for what he did for me and my Case. From the initial conversation I knew I had someone who not only who would represent me and help me but a gentleman I can trust completely and rely upon. His professional and kind and understanding manner helping me and updating me throughout my Case was so relieving to know I had someone to count on. I had a traffic incident of which I thought was the end of me and he was able to perform miracles to plead it down and get a result I never thought possible myself. Mr. Morris is not just an absolutely amazing attorney and counsel but a person who genuinely cares and helps people. I highly recommend anyone PLEASE seek his advice and counsel as he has saved my life truly.

William was recommended to me by a trusted friend. After speaking to William for only a few minutes, it became apparent that I was speaking to a great lawyer. Not only is William a great attorney, he is great person and cares about people at a deep level. He was patient and gave me much more of his time than he needed to and took this time out of his evening to answer any questions I had. He talked to me as a friend, not a number. If you're ever in need, turn to William!

We were audited by IRS for a unique situation and we were helpless and hopeless on what to do. Found Jason Silver based on his firm's reviews and boy, those raving reviews weren't wrong! To us, our case was complicated and hard to explain but after meeting with him, he "got it" and went into action. Very communicative throughout the process, explained to us what his plan of action would be in layman's terms, and got it done with an outcome even better than we could have ever hoped! The relief of having someone like Jason on your side is priceless and we can't thank him enough!

His approach is everything you should and would expect it to be from a valuable attorney. Too many times, I have been let down by lawyers, I only wish that Jason could represent me in every legal concern that may present itself. If you are not retaining Jason Silver as your representation, then you are making the wrong choice. You will not be disappointed!

James was able to negotiate a deal with the General Contractor and set up a payment plan to recover my past due invoices. I am sure without his services it would not have turned out so well.

Where do I even begin.... I was actually referred to Mike Pettiti by another law firm when trying to inquire on the legality of a unilateral change to my company's existing PTO policy. Upon contacting the office of Aiken Schenk Hawkins & Ricciardi to speak with Mike, I was transferred to Erin Hertzog who I informed of the concern that I had with my company and if it in fact violated any Arizona employment laws. She was an absolute pleasure, very thorough, asked several questions and obtained details surrounding my situation to see what legal options, if any, I had moving forward. A few days later, my employer found out that I had consulted with an attorney and subsequently, I was sent home from work and then terminated the following day. The 10 months that would follow my termination were an absolute nightmare. Murphy's Law, anything that could have gone wrong, did. I was a single mother facing being homeless after an eviction and repossession of my vehicle, all due to my loss of employment. In addition to my financial struggles, I was in the middle of a horrific legal matter in family court surrounding custody of my child. Erin was one of few silver linings that I had throughout this hard time in my life, an absolute Godsend! Through the duration of my case, Erin and Mike went back and forth with claims through the EEOC for sexual harassment and gender discrimination and claims with the NLRB for wrongful termination and retaliation. This woman literally put in her blood, sweat, and tears into resolving my legal matters with my previous employer. She accommodated my schedule, making herself available in late evening hours, no email or phone call went without response. She worked around the clock to ensure that my questions were answered and I was informed and updated on the progress of my case. Nearly 10 months later, to the day, I am happy to say that Erin and her Firm were able to reach a settlement with my previous employer and I can finally put all this behind me. I pray that I never find myself in a similar situation with a future employer but, if I do, I can rest assured that I will be in good hands with Erin Hertzog and the staff at Aiken Schenk Hawkins & Ricciardi. She is an absolutely amazing attorney and the integrity of both her and the Firm, far exceeded my expectations!

I selected this law firm solely based on convenience and lack of research, my fault. Their staff is very friendly and pleasant to deal with; I will give them that. However, as my attorney, Brice was not a good fit for my case. My case involved one minor child. The goal was to have the ability to move out of state with my child. Brice had ample information and time to prepare a rock solid case on my behalf. Well, he did not do that. He went into court very unprepared, had a very sloppy and weak cross examination. He failed to mention very pertinent details involving my child and her father. Didn’t highlight the benefits for the move. I could go on and on, but ultimately I was highly disappointed with Brice’s service and out 30k. Do your research before selecting any firm!

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.
