I cannot recommend the Ackerman Law team highly enough!
My family recently worked with them during the process of buying a house in New York, and they truly exceeded all expectations. My mother, who lives in NY, does not speak any English, so I took on the role of helping her with the transaction.
My brother, who lives in Chicago was also involved, and mind you in Live in Florida so coordinating everything could have been a logistical challenge—but not with Ackerman Law Firm on our side!
From the very start, the team at Ackerman Law team made everything smooth and easy. They were incredibly organized, responsive, and on top of every detail.
What stood out most was their genuine dedication to acting as true advisors for my mother and me. They guided us through every step of the process, from A to Z, ensuring we understood everything clearly and felt confident in our decisions.
What really left me speechless was how they went above and beyond for us. They even advocated for us by ensuring the seller retained funds in an escrow account to address an open item we decided to close with.
Their foresight and diligence gave us peace of mind and showed they genuinely cared about protecting our interests.
If you’re looking for a law firm that combines expertise, dedication, and a personal touch, Ackerman Law is the way to go.
They turned what could have been a stressful process into a seamless experience.
We are incredibly grateful for their hard work and couldn’t have done it without them!

We worked with Zach on our wills and related documents. Throughout the process, he was attentive, patient, knowledgeable, and responsive. When last-minute questions arose days before we planned to sign our documents, Zach responded patiently and thoroughly, consulted with colleagues as necessary, and made relevant changes immediately (even on the weekend). He has provided us with clear-headed and calm guidance every step of the way. We cannot recommend Zach's services enough. Thank you!

I was on the verge of losing my home of 19 years and needed to find a solution quickly. Dean came highly recommended by my Real estate Broker, and my nephew had used him for a home purchase in the past. After meeting with Dean and going over the options, I knew he would be the one to represent me. Even with all the ups and downs of the deal, Dean was very patient and reassuring. He is honest, professional, and a rare gem among real estate lawyers. I had a sense of peace after speaking with him and knew things would work out.

We own a small commercial storefront. Due to COVID, the tenant that was in our building for over 20 years decided he didn’t have to pay rent. A colleague of mine recommended Warren S. Dank, Esq. From the initial phone conversation, he was professional, concerned, caring, and made us feel very comfortable. Warren always kept us posted with what was going on. He was diligent in his efforts to get us satisfactory results through the court system, which was very trying at times during the pandemic. We won the case in the NYS Supreme Court. We believe if it wasn’t for Warren we would not have been in as good of position.

Started using ZR for a few months now and wish I started earlier. Unlike Per Diem Services Inc which significantly over charges (and has tried to rip me off a few times), ZR is professional, reasonably priced, and reliable. Their online platform is very easy to use and makes ordering services far easier and seamless than its competitors.

They committed malfeasance on two cases our office referred them. In one case, the attorney was late and the motion was granted on default. We had to beg them for an affidavit, and luckily the default was vacated. After not learning our lesson, we referred another case in which we gave them specific instructions which the covering attorney ignored. Having failed to advise the Court of our instructions the case was dismissed. Requiring a motion to restore. On this basis, I would not recommend this business.

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.
