My sister and I were recommended to David B by our accountant who we think extremely highly of.. We needed someone who was familiar with Mass and FLorida Laws to handle my Mom's estate. Covid started just at that time and certainly made things difficult and also slowed things down David handled everything so well and while we needed to be patient because of covid he kept us in the loop during the whole process If we had a question he always responded within 12 hours. His fees were also very fair. We would use him again in a minute and certainly recommend anyone that needed his services. It is nice to know there are Attys that care, that are fair and get the job done. We would highly recommend him.

I worked primarily with Margaret and she did a great job helping me with a relatively complicated estate plan. Margaret is very knowledgeable about the legal matters and also sensitive to the personal side of my unique issues. The Beliveau's offered a competitive fixed rate for the estate plan (much appreciated) and they are very responsive to questions. Estate planning is never easy, but Margaret broke it down into doable steps and made it manageable. I'm grateful for her help.

We used Matt in the closing of our home. He made the process a breeze! We are new to Massachusetts, and the process is a lot different out here then where we purchased our first home. Matt was patient with all of our questions and ensured we were set up for success.

We first met John Koenig in 2005 when we decided to sell our business that had been in the family for 40 years to a public company. He did a tremendous job of helping us understand what needed to be done to satisfy all of the objectives of different family members, some who continued to work for the new company and some who resigned or retired.
In 2008 my brother and I left that pubic company and turned to John to help us acquire a small private company, again with great efficiency and success. We are currently working with John on a very large prospective client that has presented us with a rather complicated contract.
As we have grown this company and see another generation coming into the business we will turn to John again to make sure that we are structured properly to protect the next generation and have an orderly transfer of ownership.

LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION
John L. Koenig represented us in the sale of a small manufacturing company. He was very knowledgeable in all areas of the sale, including taxation, local regulatory compliance, labor relations, estates and trusts. He was available weekends and evenings to fine tune every sentence and negotiate every detail which arose. Most importantly, he is an attorney who went out of his way to solve problems as a deal closer to make the transaction happen.
I would strongly recommend his services and his pleasing and personable way of dealing with people and diffusing potential problems.

I originally hired John in the early 1990's to perform all required corporate legal activity for a manufacturing S coprporation I owned with 2 other partners. I had been using a large Boston law and was satisfied with the partner, however most of my work was delegated to more junior members of the firm. The results were inconsistent and very expensive.
I therefore decided to search for a smaller firm where the primary legal contact would also handle most of the work. John and his firm were recommended to me and after an initial meeting and review of other references I engaged John for my corporate legal work.
His involvement with the S corporation was excellent and I felt as if he provided the broad expertise that the Boston based partner supplied, but on a full time basis at a signifiicantly lower cost. His involvement with this corporation concluded with the sale of the primary assets of the s crporation as well as an industrial building owned by a partnership and leased to our S corporation. John assisted with the sale of the S corp, and the formation of another S corporation I founded to accept some of the remaining assets and IP. I retained John for all legal activities up to and including the sale of that corporation.
John was extremely though with all the required legal issues, and always provided valuable council for the business aspects as well. John also is a skilled negotiator with other lawyers as well as the business people. I feel very comfortable when John is representing my interests.
John ably supported this new s corporation through its sale several years ago.
He now provides me with legal support during negotiations with customers regarding T&Cs and other considerations for long term contracts for $7 figure custom equipment sold primarily to very large corporations. This requires a broad skill set , to arrive at an acceptable contract with large inhouse legal departments who are not inclined to modify existing one sided boiler plate language.
Over the years I've engaged John for a wide range of legal contracts, compliance and transactions. i've always been pleased with John's involvement and would high recommend him to anyone without reservation.

Clayton was excellent to work with! He walked my husband and I through a very difficult process...writing our wills. I didn't realize how many details we would have to ponder. Luckily, Clayton was prompt with answering our calls and emails. He also took the time to explain various "hypothetical" situations to us so that we could have the appropriate wording in our wills. He was quick to revise each draft which allowed us to complete the process in a timely fashion. I also appreciate that he was understanding of my husband's travel schedule, and even arranged night and weekend hours to meet with us. I feel confident that we chose the right lawyer and will definitely utilize his services down the road.

I used Kathryn's legal services for my divorce. She was amazing throughout the entire process. The divorce process was very intimidating to me at first, but Kathryn's knowledge and calming personality helped make me more confident and less nervous. She was very knowledgeable about the whole process, informed me of the timeline of events for divorce, provided me with the correct forms to fill out, prepared a detailed and comprehensive separation agreement, explained in detail what the language in the agreement meant, and was always very prompt in responding to my questions and concerns via phone or email. I would highly recommend the services of Kathryn Kellett for any of your legal needs.

Attorney Keleher is fantastic. From day one he showed genuine care for me and my situation regarding a former employer. I had been dealing with my situation for the better part of a year and was feeling hopeless that things would ever be solved. I am a recent college graduate and as such did not have a lot of money to spend on legal representation, but felt that my situation could not be resolved without getting outside help. Attorney Keleher understood that and put all of my worries at ease. He worked efficiently, was incredibly responsive and approachable, and made me feel like my case was important. He listened to all of my concerns and worked very hard to ensure I got the outcome that I was looking for, even discounting the final bill for his services to make sure our settlement would work. I definitely would recommend him a hundred times over.

She was able to answer our many questions and we were impressed with her depth of knowledge in law, taxation, and estate planning. David’s advice was also helpful as we are residents of 2 different states. Margaret and David are an excellent team and we’re grateful to have them as a resource for such important decisions.

Steve handled my condo sale and I can only say that his service was outstanding. We had a few issues come up in our P&S and also a title issue, so not routine issues. All of these he handled with great skill and extreme diligence. If you looking for a firm to handle your real estate closing, I think you can choose Rogaris and sleep well.

Perhaps 25+ years ago Leslie came right up to me in her office after someone referred her to me: "Let me help You". She was familiar with this Company which was known to scam people. "I see that's what they have done with You as well"! In short order she had everything straightened out and I was refunded hundreds of dollars they told me that I owed them! What A Delight having her intervene on my behalf and although I honestly don't remember the details of the case; I remember her professionalism and genuine interest to resolve this matter. Isn't it interesting that I remember her quality of care .. however no recollection of the case itself!

Mr. Caramanica is an absolute gentleman and has been my tax accountant since the passing of my former acct.
It is unbelievable that anyone would say he is rude.
He is very professional. Sometimes hard to get on the phone but always fast and efficient in processing my taxes for which I am always late in filing.
I think he prefers to correspond by email. I highly recommend him.

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.
