Our Company has the fortune of having Jason Centolella as our Lead Attorney. He led us through the process of business organization; from its inception as an idea, to its incorporation, and now in its growth. He and his team were particularly insightful in bringing diverse and critical business issues to our attention. These were issues which we hadn't considered, and which turned out to be vital components of our success today. We hold Jason Centolella (and his firm) in the highest possible regard.

Attorney Coyle is by far one of the most dedicated and thorough Counsilors in the business! He spent countless hours researching my case and finding complimentary arguments to back up his position. "Andy" met with me as often as I needed to, to help me understand every step in the appeal process. His availability extended to 24/7 email correspondence, countless telephone calls if I had questions, and in person meetings as well. Attorney Coyle exudes confidence and professionalism when he's in court, making him a very great choice for representation in trial and any sort of legal presentation really. This man made me feel like he cared about justice in my favor. He represented me as if it were his own case he was appealing. I would hire him again and again should I ever need his services. Thank you for everything Counsilor! You're the best!

There's that moment in everyone's lives that they have to make a decision on what attorney to hire. There are a multitude to choose from. and depending upon your personality, you will choose whom you think suits you. And you may regret that choice because you did not choose who was best suited for the job.
I have chosen Mr. Fischer, multiple times. He has been my personal attorney for over 20 years. House purchases, Estate Planning, and any Real Estate legal advice - I speak to him weekly. And I've never regretted it. I have referred him to my clients in business and the end result is always the same. He gets the job done efficiently, timely and no one ever has to be concerned that anything was left to chance.
Why hire Seth Fischer? Because you can walk away and do your job and never worry about if he's doing his.

Ray Dague helped me when I was falsely accused as the aggressor in a street fight. He literally saved me from even going to court and got my case dropped at the grand jury level. I was a kid and I was scared. He have me comfort and treated me like family. To this day I cherish this man and would trust him with my life. When I see him I treat him as a dear friend, as he is. I owe him more than he could ever have charged me, which was very reasonable.
He's mature, caring, slow to speak and quick to listen and has a very calming presence and he is a family man. Quite frankly the man inspired me when I was younger and still does. He obviously has my full recommendations with out any regard. He's as good an attorney as they come and equal in character.

I went through Raymond's Law Offices for my house closing. They were very responsive and ensured that there were no loose ends. As a first-time home buyer, they coddled me through the process. I was impressed with their professionalism and timeliness. I would recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home. I have nothing negative to say which is rare for me when referring to attorneys.

Daniel Kornfeld represented me and he was honest and direct. He guided me through everything and it was a lengthy and very frustrating process. Daniel was always very professional and extremely knowledgeable and I feel confident he would treat any of his clients with dignity and respect. I highly recommend him. He has a great deal of integrity, which was very important to me. We did win my case, however if we had lost the case I knew it wouldn’t be for lack of expertise on his part.

Alex is the best attorney out there. He has helped my family close on 2 homes and also does our taxes.
He stays on top of everything and takes care to make sure everything stays on schedule.
If you have ever closed on a buy and sale at the same time, you know how stressful and difficult it can be to line everything up just right. Alex made sure that both our recent sale and purchase stayed on track.

I can’t recommend Johnston & Ganetis enough! Anthony Johnston, a partner at the firm took care of my traffic matter from start to finish. His communication and attention to detail were impeccable.

His services were surprisingly affordable, especially considering the phenomenal quality of his work.

I had no previous experience in working with an attorney - I was naturally nervous, but Mr. Ganetis and his team were amazing and I am so happy that I followed my gut when I picked this office to represent me in my case. They made me feel comfortable from the time that I picked up the phone to schedule a consult to my very last day in court. Mr. Ganetis welcomed every single one of my calls and e-mails whenever I had a question throughout my case, showed compassion and understanding whenever I got anxious, and worked diligently up until the last minute to ensure that we won the case. Mr. Ganetis went the extra mile in all aspects of my case from the very first day. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this law firm. I would 100% recommend this team of professionals to anyone.

William Brennan and his team of Ellen and Genie are absolute superstars in my book. I had three workers comp cases and ended up having to file for SSDI. Having them oversee my legal interests helped me immensely. They are forthright, honest, hard-working and have integrity. They explained to me that in an age of covid especially, the process would be slower than usual. I knew this going in because Bill explained thoroughly the processes as well as Ellen and Genie. This office works as a smooth well-oiled machine. I am so impressed and so relieved with their guidance I have recommended them to several friends and family who are having legal issues that Bill and his team can help. I do not give out my recommendations lightly. I highly recommend if you are facing disability ,workers comp and need help with social Security Disability this is the office to go to ,you will not regret it. I will tell you the biggest thing a client needs to remember is to have patience in the legal system because without the help of this team your legal issues could be a lot longer and a lot harder. GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU BILL, ELLEN AND GENIE FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

Called from an out of state traffic ticket matter. I don’t even know who I spoke to because there was not a professional introduction from an attorney I was transferred to. I was on hold for a moment until he picked up and said, “Hello?!” No name, no helpful consult, and said they could not help me. The front desk woman was professional and handled my concern perfectly. I would give her 5 stars for her professionalism!

Was ticketed for unknowingly having a suspended registration and for failure to turn in plates due to unpaid tolls! Not only did Seth have the case dismissed, he was great at communicating throughout! Have used the firm a couple times and wouldn’t think of calling anyone else. Don’t proceed with any other firms until you take the time to reach out to Seth and discuss your situation.

Working with Anna Putintseva and her team at Bousquet Holstein has been an absolute pleasure. Anna's expertise and guidance were invaluable in securing my E2 visa for my business in Houston, Texas. From start to finish, Anna's professionalism, genuine commitment, and meticulous attention to detail made the entire process incredibly streamlined and stress-free. I cannot recommend Anna highly enough to anyone in need of immigration assistance. Thank you, Anna, for everything you've done for me.

I got a denial of an I-539 petition from USCIS, which puts me in an unlawful presence condition. When I got such notice, I was referred by a friend to reach out to Anna for help. After a Zoom meeting and all application material shared with Anna, she believes that denial doesn't make sense and it's approvable. Instead of filing an appeal from USCIS which is taking more waiting time and may trigger more issues. She gave me two more practical suggestions after she had a discussion internally to deal with this matter because my case is so rare that none of their professional attorneys saw such a denial. And she answers any consequences regarding this matter professionally. She is very prompt to take action which I most appreciate it! After coming up with the solution, she helped to submit a request for an intervention by elevating the erroneous denial of the decision to both USCIS and AILA. This is done on the same day, she is so efficient and truly knows what condition the client is in. Fortunately, the request got USCIS's attention and USCIS reopened my case and reversed the decision as approval. It takes one week for this issue solved with her efforts and she always keeps me updated! This helped me always keep a valid status in the US. Although USCIS is untrustful, Anna is indeed trustful! She is so considerate and professional about immigration issues. I would highly recommend her regarding any immigration matters! She is the best immigration attorney I ever met.

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.
