I dont know the words to use to show how thankful we are for Mrs. Haralambie's services. If you are looking for a dependency attorney or any other family law situation you won't find another attorney with the experience of Ann Haralambie. She is both aggressive and straight brilliant in the court room. She is very confident in the court room and very well spoken.She will tell you the way it is and she does not make false promises. Everyone that we talked to told us that its impossible to get you child back at a temporary custody hearing. Ann told us not to expect her to come home that it is very hard to win these hearings. Thank's to Mrs. Haralambie's 40 plus year's of family law experience we brought our daughter home on that date. Mrs. Haralambie is not only a great Attorney but a very compassionate person.Both my wife and I highly recommend anyone with a case like a dependency case to not waste any time and get Mrs. Haralambie on your side.There is nothing more important then family and I am very thankful that Mrs. Haralambie was the one that we had fighting to keep ours together.She was the only dependency attorney that a origination called Mito Action had to refer us to.Mito Action is a non profit group that helps protect children with mitochondrial issues and educate both doctors and the public about this very difficult to diagnose disease. They dont hand out recommendation's to just anyone. Thank you Ann for all that you have done we will for ever be in debt to you

My case was badly damaged by a prior attorney. Susan reviewed my very complex and comprehensive case and was able to understand the history and dynamics and the damage that was done. She strategized how to go forward, all while focused completely on the best interests of the children. The final outcome was favorable and Susan’s approach and diligence was key.

Requested a consult last night, received a personal phone call from Matt this morning. My needs for an attorney do not match his specialty so he was upfront and honest, provided referrals and gave a little bit of advice. Really appreciate his down to earth attitude and honesty, he was very easy to talk to. Will use him in the future if something arises. Thank you again Matt! :)

I would give zero stars if I could but Zach spanier is an absolute moron, refuses to do any record research with clients, refuses to follow court orders, keeps harassing the other party about following court orders when he himself has done nothing. He is nothing but a judgmental, rude, a moron and possibly performing illegal activities due to his behavior with clients and other parties. I suggest he do better and grow up.
Edit : defamatory and false? This is all my experience as a client. Zach spanier is nothing but a liar and will not admit when he has lost. I wouldn’t trust unless you’re a scumbag like himself

Mr. Harwin is the first attorney I’ve had to sit down face to face, and he made me feel so comfortable immediately after introduction. He explained things in a way even the average human can understand. I have a lot of respect for the help and opportunity he gave me, even just for the conversion. Letty, who has been with Mr. Harwin for a number or years, calmed my nerves and anxiety from the get go and I am grateful to have met the both of them. Both are very nice, wholesome, and respectable professionals.

Wow where should I start?!
BJ’s expertise of the real estate industry was evident from our first meeting. BJ provided a detailed analysis of ways she could help me, while helping me understand the best ways to move forward. BJ’s effective communication was very helpful in fostering a transparent and trusting relationship, which is essential in any significant financial transaction.
Throughout multiple experiences together, BJ was incredibly communicative. She also promptly answered calls and emails, keeping me in the loop about every development. Her ability to clearly explain complex details was particularly helpful. BJ continues to provide support beyond just the transaction.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend BJ. Her dedication to my satisfaction was evident in how she went out of her way to accommodate my needs and provided honest advice.
Again, Thanks BJ for all your hard work throughout working together!

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.
