I went through a few lawyers who gave me questionable advices before I came across Kathleen. First of all, she's working directly on my case, not other junior assistants. Second, Kathleen is not only very experienced and knowledgeable about the law, but most importantly, she's consultative and able to advice each step along the way. What's the strategy? What to say/do in what situation? You simply do not get this level of attention and support in other places.

Kathleen Cahill is super professional and is highly knowledgeable in Employment Law. She assisted me with understanding my severance agreement and made sure the language was sufficient before I signed it. I would recommend her to anyone needing help.

Dealing with HOA fees owed (so I see in other reviews with similar experiences, so no wonder these people are miserable).
Lied about offering me a payment plan, all my letters state the payment must be received in FULL but yet now that the balance is astronomical they offer a payment plan.
Both the women in the office have vile attitudes while lying about Richard Drury not being available to speak. Richard Drury himself only further the lies and nasty attitude.
Stay away from these people. They don’t care about anything except money.

I found Mr Fradkin very personal, professional and productive in collecting debts for me. Mike's legal knowledge and application was extremely effective in helping me manage my accounts receivable. I give him 5+ stars!

Made an appointment for bankruptcy consultation last May, I showed up at my scheduled time, only to find no one expecting me! Apparently Mr. Fradkin was out to lunch and there were no other lawyers available to help me, the secretary/ paralegals were rude and insisted I was wrong despite me having a voicemail on my phone with the appointment confirmation. Aside from the condescending staff, the office is disorganized and filthy! Every desk within eyesight was cluttered with stacks of papers, files, and other stuff; with such a disorganized mess I have no idea how they keep track of anything and I definitely would never hire him after this experience!

Mr. Beach has been representing my office in Workers' Compensation cases. As a healthcare provider I interact with many Workers' Compensation lawyers. Jim represents my office because he gets results. Insurance companies often try to avoid payment on healthcare bills. Mr. Beach has dong a great job of getting them to pay. He has also represented my patients in Workers' Comp and auto accident cases. I have never heard a complaints about him. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Beach Represented me very well. He always returned my calls and was even a source of comfort when I felt like the "system" was being unfair. He has gotten my hearing in a more than timely fashion and has represented me and my case with the utmost care. I WOULD recommend him to any one of my friends or family.

I would not recommend this attorney. I think his priorites are elsewhere, and his only focus is how quick he can get his clients to settle their case so he can make a quick profit. Very pushy when he thinks your case, and your medical treatment{s} are not going as well as he thinks they should. In other words, he is very inpatient if he thinks your case and your healing from an accident/injury is taking too long. He asked many times if i was ready to go to settlement yet, which i thought was out of character, because i always thought a lawyer was supposed to have your best interest and trust at heart. You will not find that with this particular attorney. Also, he would always ask me to refer "New" clients/friends in his direction, which i didnt deem appropriate.

Fradkin & Weber pa need to be investigated ASAP. They continue to come for me for a 10 year old loan from 2014 for the amount of $5k which I have paid back almost $20k total up to date and it is not making any sense. I took a $5k loan out in 2014 made payments on time up until I had a financial hardship in 2016. In 2017 I woke up to frozen bank accounts and a Garnishment order from the courts. First time hearing about them. Fradkin & Weber pa Never reached out prior, to try to come to an agreement to pay off the balance. From 2017 to 2018 they were garnishing my checks until I stopped working at that Job leaving a balance of $1,700. Never heard from them until 2019 when they took me back to court. I showed up to court and they did not. Never heard from them again until 2022 when I received a new garnishment order from the courts but I was no longer working at that employer. In 2023 I receive another garnishment order for almost another $7k.(wished the courts would work as hard on child support cases as they do cases like this one) They have been successfully garnishing my checks since the summer of 2023 and till this date still are. I called today requesting copies of all the payments that have been taken since the 1st garnishment and they said they send out monthly statements and will not send my request. I explained i have not received their monthly statements and even then I was still told NO and repeated that they send monthly statements. How do I not have a right to see the amount of payments that have been made by me to them? I have no issues paying back what I owe and then some but at this point i feel as they are taking full advantage of me not questioning them. But now I have tons of questions that need Answers. And from all the other reviews and reviews on the BBB site this company has no issues taking full advantage of people who don't speak up and allow it like

I met with her to discuss how to set up my estate so as to minimize the expense and difficulty to my heirs of distributing it after my death. She pushed me away from establishing a living trust (from the start of the interview, without fully understanding my situation; when that's exactly what such a trust is for). She encouraged me to put all my assets into the will rather than simply designating beneficiaries where possible, such as for mutual fund accounts, using the argument that it would be easier to modify the will if I needed to change the beneficiary designations (which would require a lawyer) than to manage the beneficiary designations which would only require about 20 minutes for me to log on to the various web sites and would cost me nothing. From my own later research, I believe the fee for handling the estate would be capped at a certain percentage of the value of the estate, so that by distributing assets directly, an estate lawyer's potential fee would be significantly reduced. Finally (and notwithstanding an hour spent with me to understand my situation and goals), she refused to estimate a range of costs for handling the estate. She first answered my question on cost by quoting only the court fees for probate. When I asked whether those included lawyer's fees and was told no, she said "there's no way to know" what the fee would be. I suspect that when one does estate planning for a living and is holding in one's hand a list of the assets that comprise the estate, then yes, it is in fact possible to estimate a range of costs. So in all I got very little value out of the several hundred dollars charged for the consultation.

Mr. Bodie, is very passive as for a family law lawyer. To be honest, he was a fill-in for my lawyer that was on leave. Family law may not be his field, but I was very disappointed with his performance, for being the main Partner of his firm. He was not prepared to defend me. Therefore, I had to settle for less.

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.
