I recently had the pleasure of working with Yu Law for the review of my commercial lease, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. From the initial consultation to the finalization of the process, Angela Yu demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and expertise.

Working with Angela was a joy from start to finish. This was my first time co-creating a contract for my business so I wasn't sure what to expect but it really was a collaborative, easeful experience. Angela took the time to not only fully understand my business' needs in order to create the contract, but also to explain the "why's" behind each element and to answer all of my questions. She has so much wisdom to offer and is gifted in her craft. She was clear, kind, supportive, and nonjudgemental. I truly felt safe working with her, which is important to me. I would absolutely work with her again and highly recommend hiring her!

Angela was amazing to work with and I would highly recommend her to other business owners. When it comes to legal services, the terminology can be intimidating to understand. But Angela made it feel so easy and organic. She really took into account every aspect of how my business operates and made my contract custom for my business and it's needs. She took the time to listen to me and my wants, needs and concerns; and also to follow up with questions she may have had to get a better understanding to make sure every line was perfect and exactly what I needed. She was responsive, kind and supportive. It was a pleasure working with her and I would recommend her to anyone who needs legal services with a down to earth and compassionate demeanor. Legal processes don't always have to be scary and it definitely wasn't with Angela!

I honestly never thought I would meet an attorney as caring as Ioana. She genuinely cares about your case and answered all my questions almost instantly. I strongly believe that David and her are an unparalleled legal team and Ocean County lawyers should learn a thing or two about them. Would definitely hire again no questions asked.

When I found myself summoned to court for a criminal lawsuit, I was completely overwhelmed and extremely anxious that this would be the end of my professional career.
After one call with Ms. Enescu and I was quickly at ease. Not only was she understanding and transparent with my case she was extremely proactive. I did not feel the need to constantly follow up or explain myself as Ms.Enescu completely understood my situation and took charge of my case.
I could not be any happier with my outcome! I would highly recommend her as she is sharp and on top of her game.

I have never had to hire a lawyer before and I hired David Schlendorf's firm. Ioana is an associate there and I have to say it was such a pleasant experience dealing with her and she was always available when I needed her and so friendly and helpful. Dave represented me in court but ioana handled all of the pre-court matters. It was a pleasure dealing with them both and would highly recommend!

Annemarie is by far the best and most knowledgeable elder law attorney I've ever ...unfortunately needed! I reached out to her years ago... that her relatability spoke to me; and I've held her number near ever since. At each turn, Annemarie's ability to keep emotions out yet still acknowledge the stressors, are beyond compare that I will always heed her advice. When the child is forced to parent the parent, Annemarie offers sound, solid, legal advice with which to manage the day-to-day care for and of a parent while also providing understanding of how difficult such care can be. Point blank? Annemarie helps soften the pain in her capacity of speaking to legal ease... while and honestly without saying much... speaking of one's self-care and understanding. She just got me... HEARD me. That is, in and of itself, truly worthy that I recommend Annemarie highly.

Great experience having Louis Pintaro represent me on my case. Got a potential 2 points knocked down to none!!
Paralegal, Sam Farrel was also great in keeping in touch and letting me know what the status was leading up to my appearance. Made me realize and feel that they really care about their clients through and through

Jason Stone is my favorite attorney. I love that we pretty much never spoke after our initial
conversation yet he consistently got everything done promptly and secured my trademark for a fraction of the cost that others were quoting me. I don’t remember what it was about his solicitation email thatgot my attention after my trademark application hit a snag. It must have been brief and to the point though, and it got my attention, so I called the number. He immediately picked up, spent 15 minutes talking to me, and then, frankly, I never talked to him again. But, I did hear from the US patent office pretty regularly with success after success until I got my trademark done. There were a few times along the way that I wondered what the status of my case was, so I sent two follow up emails during the process, and each was responded to immediately. One response was “submitted last week thanks” and the other was “yes, exactly”. I’m used to reading long-winded explanations from attorneys. Maybe they think I care about the legal mechanics of torts and contracts and the detailed intricacies of intellectual property law. Actually, I don’t. I just wanted to put that little R next to my company name so that when some clown competitor enters my sandbox and messes with my brand I would have some leverage. And Jason handled that masterfully, and inexpensively. Hire him…you’ll be happy, and if you need companionship, maybe get a dog, and if you need someone to chat with, go talk to a customer. And of course, if you need a drum set, find LodoDrumGuy. But please just let Jason handle your legal. It will be the most pleasant/efficient lawyer experience you can ever hope to have, and if he doesn’t call, trust he’s working hard on your behalf. Thanks Jason!!

Stone Law was hired to handle a trademark steps for us and Jason is the lawyer who responded to handle the filing request. Nearly two weeks passed and he was completely lacking in communication skills and attentiveness to the situation. Nothing but a couple vague emails back and forth-- no work, no progress. Requested a refund, then he acted like he was doing something and that he couldn't find our company info online for what we requested. Truth is, he never actually put in the effort to discuss things and get the information. Plus we are easily found on Google, along with our trademark items. The firm really came across as unprofessional and not trustworthy.

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.
