THE VERY BEST LAW FIRM FOR ESTABLISHING A TRUST!!!! From the first phone call (last year) and to this very day I can ALWAYS get in touch with a helpful and knowledgeable attorney to put my issues at ease.
Daniel and Susan really care about their clients and it shows with their excellent service. Before choosing this firm I assembled many questions ready for the asking and several other firms couldn’t be bothered finding answers to my unique circumstances but not only were my questions answered but they backed it up with safe & prudent solutions. If your like me and need a Trust, TRUST them 100% and please tell them Lambros Vassiliou referred you!!

I met with Ted Cotter for the first time to get a second opinion. While he knew I had another attorney, he sat with me for as long as I needed, asked me pertinent questions, wrote down my response to those questions, and made himself totally available to me should I need him, but advised me to stay where I was. He was completely professional and down to earth at the same time, very relatable, always making me feel that my time was just as important as his. At the end of our meeting, I asked him what I owe him, his response was ' absolutely nothing, let me know how you make out with your situation.' I would not hesitate to retain him in the future should I ever have a need to.

This guy John Murphy is upset because i didn't choose him to be my attorney. I was looking for different attorneys and i called him and he wants $500 for a consultation while other lawyers will give a free consultation over the phone. He is also rude and nasty and calls me a "looser" his spellings not my spelling and to go get a legal aide. He was disrespectful in his text message. He is very unprofessional. I hope people will considered choosing a lawyer who is kind and is for the client best interests.

Terrible. Worst most unprofessional lawyers I have ever dealt with. Marvin hasn’t submitted my paperwork the court requested 6 months ago and will not answer any calls or texts. When I call the office they tell me he isn’t in or in a meeting on a call etc and he never returns messages. I will be reporting them to the bar association. If you ask me they robbed my money!

I hired Mr. Rosenzweig to represent me and my law firm in an appeal of a commercial litigation case brought against us in the New York Supreme Court, County of Richmond that was appealed to the Second Department. He was very nice and informative. Most of all we won our appeal. The decision resulting in a total victory for me and my law firm. I give Richard Rosenzweig my strongest endorsement as an appellate lawyer.

Richard Rosenzweig is an ill mannered attorney and treats his clients like a money bag. The paperwork he prepared for me was poorly written and had so many spelling errors that I felt embarrassed for him. I wonder if he ever went to law school. I don't recommend hiring Mr Rosenzweig if you are seeking a professional attorney. Don't waste your hard earned money on this joke of an attorney. He doesn't take his work seriously and has a very bad attitude towards his clients maybe he is angry because he is so incompetent!

All his five star reviews are bogus! This nasty lawyer has such a filthy mouth. He told me to shut up when I asked him some basic questions after paying him a steep retainer. He was super nice before he got the money and then turned super nasty when the payment was made. He falsifies business documents and should have his license revoked. Steer clear of this con artist! He will drag you down and strip you of every penny

They don’t put any time into ur case ur told to do all the leg work they don’t fight to get your doc s to file nor do they tell you when ur case is in jeopardy.
They were reprimanded by the judge for not having paperwork and they were told to get it and as soon as we left the court they told me I needed to go get the papers from doctors.
I could have don’t it all myself.
Total waste avoid them.

I used the services of the Law Office of Jonathan H. Poznansky. I mainly dealt with Christopher Moterosso and Peter G. Malloy. Peter and Chris were extremely pleasant to deal with and their level of professionalism is that beyond words! Christopher Moterosso represented me in a Worker's Compensation case. I was not expecting anything; I was just hoping to get the case over with. To my surprise, not only was the case over with, but he managed to get me a decent amount. The exceptional thing about these attorneys (and the Law office of Jonathan Poznansky) is that from the moment you walk in, they demonstrate that they care. Christopher Moterosso and Peter G. Malloy demonstrated excellency! I HIGHLY recommend these attorneys.

This attorney sent me copies of divorce papers and enclosed a letter informing me that the action would be filed within 2 weeks. That was in August 2013. I found out today (10 months later) that he never filed the papers.

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.
