I was referred to Keith from a friend who is an attorney. I wasn’t sure if I needed his services or not but I wanted a consultation to talk to an attorney about a situation. Keith was responsive and efficient with setting up a call to discuss my case. Keith listened and was very knowledgeable about the laws. He gave me some advice and asked me to send him documentation to review my situation further. After a thourough review of the documentation I supplied Keith advised me that he would be happy to assist me but I really didn’t need his assistance. He encouraged me to file what I needed as my documentation was more than enough. I am so glad that I did as he was correct and I won my case. I appreciate his honest opinion. Paying for a consultation with Keith was worth every penny. I would refer him to others and use him again if needed.

I called about rent owed after evicting a renter. A significant sum, the cost of the repairs, and deep cleaning needed. He said there was no way to recover the funds owed to me through legal actions. Not even if I put a lien on the home the renter had purchased. He said he'd look into the renter and the renter's father who had guaranteed his son would be a decent renter. The father owes a local business.
When I mentioned the cost of the repairs and cleaning, I asked if I could have a family member do the required work. He then added another insult by stating said family members must be paid. I hadn't said I wasn't paying for the work. I was concerned about the legal aspect of hiring a family member out of work at the current rate of that work, plus supplies.
I gave him my name and information, my family member's name, the renter's name, and the renter's father's name. The house address, the address of the home the renter now owns, and the father's information.
I received an email with only the confidential information that if the wrong person received it to please delete it. I replied to confirm my email address. I live in a different state for work now.
I was supposed to receive information about his fees and what to expect. Instead, in the second email, I was informed, quite bluntly, I could not afford his fees without being told the fee amount.
Secondly, the renter wasn't worth the effort because he'd never pay me, even with a lien on his credit report, that he would damage his new rental (he is an owner now) and that should be sufficient for me.
Between the past due rent, repairs, and cleaning I have to pay to have done. The renter now owes $10K+. I don't consider that an insignificant amount.
If you want an arrogant attorney who has no respect for a potential client while insulting said client then he's the attorney you're seeking.
Good luck in your attorney search.

I suppose Mr. Posner could be called old-fashioned, in that he prefers that the client should go away while he makes all the decisions. Or at least if she is female; he seems to want to believe that a female with a legal problem is merely emotional and irrational. He represented me as a beneficiary in a probate case, after snatching the job away from a junior partner immediately after I hired said partner. Mr. Posner said the partner would continue to work on my case under his supervision, but all that happened is that I was billed monthly for the partner's walking across the street once a month to the courthouse "to see if any new documents were on file," a job that could have been handled by a phone call from a secretary. Mr. Posner tried hard to convince me of the worthlessness of all the estate assets so I would not try too hard to pursue them (under the decedent's will I had inherited approximately $1 million). He also billed me for useless tasks such as his office making sure the title to the real estate I had inherited was clear, which (a) is the executor's job and (b) I already knew the title was clear, so had not asked Posner to look into it. He was willing to negotiate distribution of assets from the executor without my seeing any formal accounting or indeed any credible informal accounting of estate income and expenses. He allowed himself to be run around a great deal by the executor's attorney, for months, and paid little attention to anything that was going on. Then when a faulty accounting was finally filed, which accounting I had long pressured Mr. Posner to formally ask for, revealing that the executor had spent staggering sums of money on simple tasks and that there was significant missing income, Mr. Posner refused to let me have any input into the objections filed or even to see them. I fired him and hired a lawyer who got me much better accountings and substantial restitution from the Court. But I had completely wasted considerable time and money on Mr. Posner.

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.
