I highly recommend Christopher Pearsall as a divorce attorney. Not only is Christopher very affordable, he also guided me through the divorce proceedings and explained the process throughly. He gave great advice and answered any questions in a timely manner. I was very happy with the outcome of the divorce settlement. Thank you Chris!

I was referred to Lauri Medwin Fine by a mutual friend to handle my divorce, and I am so grateful that I found her! Lauri put me at ease from the moment we met. Her legal expertise, combined with her warm and calming nature made me feel confident and empowered at my initial consultation. She handled everything professionally and efficiently. She made the legal process feel less intimidating by preparing me for what to expect at each step. It was evident that she always had my best interests in mind. I highly recommend Lauri for any of your legal needs.

Atty Pederzani provided excellent representation for my divorce and child support cases. He has a calm and informative manner that put me at ease. In the court, however, he is aggressive and fought so I received everything I deserved. Several friends have used him and were also highly satisfied. Would highly recommend!

I have known Paul for many years through our military careers. He was an exemplary officer and when I needed the services of a talented attorney, I immediately contacted him. He has represented me in a variety of legal situations ranging from wills for my parents to divorce for myself. I have the highest regard for Paul and I recommend him highly.

During long divorce proceedings, Attorney Pederzani worked with me patiently and professionally.His office manager always kept me informed, and I truly felt that the three of us were an effective team which resulted in a positive outcome for both the divorce settlement and, later, an increase in the child support. He's very knowledgable about the technicalities of military divorces and I would highly recommend him.

I was in an automobile accident that left me in pain and without a car- it was a total loss. John Flanagan was able to successfully secure ample financial compensation for my pain and suffering. But what I found most impressive was his genuine concern for my well-being. The process of hiring an attorney seemed daunting and nerve wracking. John Flanagan made it apparent my health was his primary concern. Because of this, I was able to focus on my recovery while he took care of all the exchanges between the insurance companies. He was always professional and accommodating of my work schedule when scheduling meetings. He was readily available to discuss any questions or concerns I had at any time. I highly recommend John Flanagan.

John Flanagan has been our family Attorney for over 25 years. His services and involvement have run the gambit of car accidents, personal injuries, wills, powers of attorney, general counsel and personal advice, business start-ups and business closings. adoptions, divorces and tort incidents. Our family, in-laws and friends have been very well served for a number of incidents and although when younger, never realized the real importance of a good attorney, John's long term relationship and success is a testimony to his competence, character, integrity and sense of justice in a time where they very difficult to find, if they can be found at all.

We have worked with John Flanagan over a number of years. We had 2 car accidents and were very pleased with the outcome of both of them. He was very easy to work with. He was always quick to get back to us when we had questions. He always took the time to make sure we understood. I would recommend him and have recommended him to other people and these were also pleased with him. Thanks!

My firm has been represented by Bill on several matters and we have been very pleased with every outcome. Bill was great at explaining the options in front of us, the pros/cons of the same, and helped us navigate the court system confidently. We trust Bill's opinion and value his experience with the law.
We will certainly use Bill again in the future (as need arises) and would recommend him to anyone. He is fair, honest, and does the right thing!

Bill was a strong advocate for the best interest of my children, as well as a strong advocate for equal parenting rights for Fathers regarding placement, religion, and medical decision making.
What I can't stress enough is his vast knowledge of the Family Court laws, rules and culture in RI; his inciteful guidance with me during a very difficult period; his ability to keep me focused on what was most important, especially when the long duration of the process and multiple court appearances in Washington County Family Court wore on me.
The outcome for my boys resulted in equal parenting time and rights w/their mother and me, along with a solid consent order. I highly recommend Bill.

Another attorney in this office was recommended. Unfortunately, he was not taking new clients. I settled for Damian Nash. It proved to be a terrible decision. The hallmark of an effective attorney is excellent communication skills between the attorney, his staff, and his clients. An attorney should keep clients updated on all developments, and thoroughly explain legal terms and the processes to ensure they are understood. Equally important is having competent, responsible, and dependable office staff who will forward all forms of communication to the attorney. All of these were blatantly lacking. Important emails were overlooked and not sent to the attorney. The attorney met my inquiry regarding these issues with anger and a defensive attitude. Damian Nash was unresponsive, uncommunicative, and displayed an unprofessional response to my concerns. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE. I am a businesswoman who treats clients with the respect they deserve. He needs to do the same!!!

My name is Scott Coutu, I had Joel Chase as a lawyer and not only did he do very well for me he helped me change my life. The experience that he has made him a respected man with prosecutors as well as his clients all you have to do is look up his past and find out that he is the best lawyer in New England. And what I mean by being respected by the prosecutors is that they know he knows the law inside and out and will not sell you out like other lawyers in Rhode Island I could go on but I would be writing for days I can’t say enough good things about him . I’m gonna end this by saying that he is worth every dollar because he won’t take a deal he will always protect your wrights till the end.

Bill Harsch was hired help a citizens group combat a massive housing development project in rural town. The project required massive variances, was contrary to the town's Comprehensive Plan and was destined to destroy the community in which was sited. The project was being railroaded through the approval process by town officials. Harsch was hired at the last minute. He did a masterful job. The Zoning Board denied the application despite a barrage of legal threats from the developer.

Beware of this attorney. He was referred through an agency and did not adhere to original agreement, very forgetful, multiple errors in documents and sending and receiving emails. Withdrew from my uncontested divorce due to billing issues. Amount for uncontested divorce quoted as most likely retainer fees, after retainer was exhausted he "required" another retainer???? After retainer it was to switch to hourly rate, that was not adhered to, discussed and i was told more money or he would withdraw as he does not do "pro bono" work, paid $3500 and he never finished my case, withdrew, i went to court unrepresented and out a lot of money for nothing. He now is threatening to sue me as i owed him $20 (which originally i was sent a credit of $20 invoice) and it is past due so automatically up over $300+. Do not be lured into his kind demeanor and trust his "words", general reassurances that he will work with you if finances are an issue. He will leave you hanging if you cannot pay. Totally unethical attorney.

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.
