I hired Ahmad for a heavy traffic ticket that could have lost me my license. He was able to get two accounts of reckless operation dropped and I only had to take the bargain and plea guilty to failure to use turn signal.

I hardly leave reviews but I feel compelled to leave this review for others to benefit from it. I contested a traffic ticket and hired Ahmed as my attorney. He explained everything in plain English to me given my little to no knowledge of the legal basics. To make it short, the judge ended up dropping the case. NO POINTS, NO FINE. NO COURT FEE. A very fine attorney and a human being. A true God sent for me!

I engaged in Ahmad Kassem's services for a multiple single-family-home investment transaction. He thoroughly reviewed my agreement, advised me on the options along with their pros and cons, and ultimately allowed me to make a more informed decision on the path forward. As a plus, I was also advised on selection of title companies to best protect myself throughout the transaction. The verbal communication skills and promptness were outstanding.

Mr. Zeiger was marvelous and quick to handle my divorce case. He was fair and honest and guided me well during the entire process. He answered all my questions and also educated me on what the legal lingo meant. I recommend Mr. Zeiger to handle any case within his area of expertise.

My divorce turned into a nightmare. My ex fought us on absolutely everything, refused to provide court ordered documentation, just made it extremely difficult. Mr. Zeiger was honest about what was/wasn't worth a fight. From his experience he already knew what the outcome would be. He fought hard for what was right, didn't let the lack of cooperation from the other side detour him. He found ways to gather the necessary documentation without their assistance. In the end the settlements were fair and I didn't have any regrets about the decisions we made and how it was all handled.

I first talked with Robert (Bob) several years ago and wanted to see if a product I had developed was worth the time, money, and effort to obtain a patent. I asked him to be honest and to not be afraid to "call my baby ugly". Bob gave me great and objective advise and I hired him to begin working on obtaining the patent for my product. Throughout the process Bob kept me up to date but also asked questions I had no answers for and then explained my options so I could give a confident answer. He also gave me great advise on what we could add to the patent and what would need to be covered separately. I have nothing but great thanks and respect for the work that Bob did for me. (Thanks again Bob.)

Our Company, is a startup that is patenting and developing mechanical technology for automotive and industrial power-trains. Bob is very experienced in these fields, having been head of IP at Dana Holding Corp, we found him on LinkedIn. Bob has been very fair with his rates and time, reviewed and edited our patent applications and White Papers, and contacted people he knows in the industry to help us monetize our IP. It gives us confidence to have a friendly, very knowledgeable,
professional and skillful attorney in our corner.

Robert Leonardi is a highly skilled attorney and I can't recommend him highly enough!! He helped me in several ways with my startup business by filing all the necessary intellectual property documents and contracts. He always responded with decisive answers to my many questions about my business direction and reviewed contracts for their authenticity and completeness. He is very gracious and easy to relate to while making the sometimes difficult legal issues, easy to comprehend.

My wife and I are the owners of Sinless Natural Spray Tanning LLC and Matt was absolutely vital to the setup of our business. Being new to the entrepreneurial world I knew very little on what was required to own a business and wanted to make sure I completed all the necessary steps properly. I also wanted to make sure we were protected from any liability from legal standpoint. Matt took care of all necessary paperwork and applications for us to acquire an LLC. All we had to do was sign the documents. He made it extremely easy and whenever we had questions his response time was excellent (even in the evenings). Matt also created our waiver of liability form that clients sign prior to getting sprayed. Matt understood the delicate balance that we were looking for on wording to keep us protected but not hindering customers from using our services. We will definitely be using him for any future work. It was an overall great experience and highly recommend.

Gretchen was 100 percent on my side from the minute we met! I was wrongfully accused of 2 major felonies and could have been put in prison for a long time! Gretchen went above and beyond what a public defender would ever do! She stayed in contact with my family and friends to keep me updated while I was behind bars! She is awesome and when my charges were dismissed I felt the right of the world was off my shoulders she is excellent lawyer and I appreciate her hard work and I think she should get a medal for what she did for me!

My house was hit by a car a year ago and I was having issues with getting the money needed to fix my house from insurance. The amount they wanted to give me was way lower than estimates and I could not get any response from insurance about what to do. I finally called Dennis in frustration and he was the best. He was understanding of my dilemma and got to work right away. In a very short time, he got the insurance company to pay me 3 times what they had originally quoted. And he helped with getting someone to come and work with me to get my house fixed. I would recommend Sawan & Sawan to everyone. ♥️♥️♥️

These are by far the best lawyers in the state of Ohio let alone the Toledo area. They are the most professional and determined legal team I could have ever hoped for. They took my case and from day one gave me hope and kept me from falling into a pit of despair. They worked tirelessly for my freedom and never gave up even more they never let me give up. They also followed through with every commitment they made to me and got me a better outcome than I ever thought was even possible. It isn't possible for me to express the amount of gratitude that I have for them. Bottom line if you're lucky enough find these gentlemen look no further because they are the pinnacle of legal services. Seriously these guys saved my life.

Here’s the thing… the paperwork to apply for a visa/green card/citizenship is not difficult, it’s just very lengthy. I could have completed it myself, but there are things only a lawyer will be able to advise you on for your particular case.
Mr. Ammar did a good job going through the things that he believed would catch the eye of the immigration officer assigned to my case. This really helped me during my interview when I was asked for details.
I have a cousin who applied for citizenship without a lawyer (to save money). He filled out the paperwork just fine, but messed up in how he approached one question and his application got denied. He’s tried to apply two times since, but having a denied application in his record has made things very difficult for him. I feel like having a lawyer to advise him the first time around would have prevented everything. The immigration process is NOT where you want to be saving money since it can have long lasting consequences.
Overall I’m very happy with this law firm and glad they were the ones helping me during my process.

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.
