MIKE IS A VERY GOOD ATTORNEY HE TOOK OUR CASE WHEN TWO OTHER ATTORNEYS DROPPED THE BALL. HE WENT INTO OUR CASE AND HAS MAINTAINED A POSITIVE PROFILE WITH A MATTER THAT HAS GREAT ODDS AGAINST ITS SUCCESS INCLUDING OPPOSITION BY THE COURT ITSELF , WHO WANTS ONLY TO END THE CASE, AFTER MANY MONTHS OF LAWYERING MIKE WAS ABLE TO FULLFILL HIS PROMISE OF GETTING ESTATE RECORDS . BUT THE COURT QUASHED HIS SUBPOENAS NUETRALIZING OUR EFFORTS TO FIND THE TRUTH. MIKE HAS CONTINUED TO PURSUE OUR EFFORTS TO HAVE THE TRUTH EXPOSED EVEN UNDER FIRE FROM COURT APPOINTEES , THE JUDGE HIMSELF, THE OPPOSITION AND DEADLINE FACTORS. MIKE IS UNRELENTING AND IS CONCERNED THAT THE TRUTH PREVAIL AND WILL FIGHT IN YOUR BEHALF TO ACHIEVE A FAIR RESOLUTION TO YOUR LEGAL PROBLEMS WITHIN THE LAW. I AM A RETIRED LAPD DETECTIVE OF 26 YEARS AND I HIGHLY RECCOMEND HIRING MIKE TO RESOLVE ANY LEGAL PROBLEM THAT YOU MAY HAVE. HE IS WELL VERSED IN THE LAW AND HAS EXPERTISE IN MANY FIELDS WITHIN THE LAW. HE IS EXCELLENT AND GETS THE JOB DONE WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF EXPENDITURES BOTH ON YOU AS THE CLIENT AND HIMSELF AS HIS FEE.

Ms Gruen is very personable, knowledgeable, professional and will put your worries at ease. You are in good hands with Ms Gruen. She is honest, compassionate and easy to work with. Although my case is still being worked on, so far it has been a pleasant experience, and she has done everything that she has promised thus far without gouging me, as a lot of other attorney's do when a client is in a weak position. Ms Gruen cares about her client's and has built her business on reputation and word of mouth.

I hired Frank as our business counsel. From the start he was fair and helpful but his real value came when we were winding down a difficult partnership. He always held steady to the highest ethics. And I genuinely like him as a person.

Frank has been my legal adviser for the past few years and has created many contract agreements for my client services and has helped me incorporate my business this year.

I highly recommend Adrienne K. Miller, Attorney at Law and will certainly use her services again. When my mother passed away recently, I was at a loss on how to begin the Probate process. Adrienne explained every step of the way, how the legal system works from beginning to end. I will be forever grateful to Adrienne and her paralegal Heather, for their patience, kindness and compassion while getting me through such a difficult time.

We just used Adrienne's services to FINALLY have our Trust completed. I was very nervous about the process not knowing what was in store for us and not being able to meet face to face. But Andrienne was a pleasure to work with (along with her assist. Heather). She made the process seamless and was so patient with me as I kept changing things on her at the last minute. After reading the final draft she was very helpful in explaining items that we did not understand. We were able to finally meet her face to face when we went in to sign the doc's (before we were all closed down again). Thank you so much for Adrienne for taking this weight off my shoulders of having this done. I would recommend her office for any legal services and I will definitely go to her in the future if needed.

After several issues with a previous estate attorney, I was referred to Adrian Miller. She gathered all of the paperwork from the previous firm and contacted the others involved in the estate. She frequently provided guidance and updates. Overall, she made a difficult time in my life a bit easier. My only complaint is that it is difficult to reach her on the phone.

Hiring Dallara Law was the worst choice we ever made. We were told the case would be simple. It lasted 14 months and cost thousands more than anticipated. Never made it to court they negotiated the case which is not what we asked for. GO TO MEDIATION if you have a family law case. Do not waste your money having them do the exact same thing.

Attorney Robert HERTZBERG should not be an attorney. Hertzberg gets too emotionally involved in his cases. Hertzberg was being sued by 2 females for retaliation after they exposed his sexual battery crimes he committed. Hertzberg became so angry and emotionally involved in the case and was not thinking clearly when he hired a Known FELON named DAVID JESS MILLER who is currently out on BAIL on a 1 MILLION DOLLAR BOND. He is facing federal charges for identity theft, money laundering, perjury, fraud, and selling over 400 million dollar of illegal drugs. He is looking at 20-30 years in prison. Hertzberg became friends with this criminal and teamed up with him to commit more Felony crimes. Hertzberg is now being sued for 2.2 million dollars for his illegal acts of IDENTITY THEFT AND FRAUD. Hertzberg became so emotionally involved that he partnered with a con man. Together Hertzberg and David Jess Miller committed fraud and identity theft by placing a fraudulent lien on a property that belonged to someone that had no involved in the case and placed the lien on the Wrong house. Hertzberg and David Jess Miller are crooks. Hertzberg and his con team are still committing illegal activity and they must be stopped now. Several of his victims are in the process of a class action law suit. Please contact the law office if you are a victim of HERTZBERG and DAVID JESS MILLER (age 58 ) of Orange County, California. Please help stop these 2 dirty attorneys HERTZBERG AND DAVID JESS MILLER

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.
