I worked directly and frequently with Mr. Jason Grauch for several years licensing patents in a corporate environment that involved the semiconductor electronics industry. Jason's calm demeanor, as well as his in-depth knowledge of patent law, always made me feel like we were the smartest team in the room. I traveled with Jason in stressful conditions in Asia many times and I always enjoyed his pleasant conversation both in and out of our business environment. Jason was often assigned the most difficult legal interpretations, but he never avoided the challenge and always offered the most detailed and comprehensive opinions. I would recommend Jason Grauch for any legal matter.

Darin Pinto is an extremely knowledgeable attorney and was extremely helpful when foreclosure of my home was evident. He lead my wife and I through the process and assisted in reducing our stress level. He was always available to talk and provided a sense of comfort knowing we were in good hands. He has been my attorney for the past thirteen years assisting with other financial issues including bankruptcy. I have always been satisfied with his services and that of his staff. He supports his clients with a can do attitude and brings about the best possible resolution.

My wife and I moved from out-of-state and were connected with Darin through our real estate agent (she gave us a list of 4-5 names). I called a couple of the names on the list and they all seemed great, but I knew Darin was our guy within a minute of talking to him.
I think the main thing I'd underscore about Darin (among many other strengths) is that he just puts you at ease. I won't be trite and say that Darin makes you feel like he's helping a family member, but he comes pretty darn close. The home buying process is extremely stressful -- even if you've done it before -- and we just felt like we didn't have anything to worry about legally in going with Darin.
Besides having such a great demeanor, Darin is extremely knowledgable, responsive, assertive when he has to be, and just overall was a pleasure to work with. I honestly can't recommend Darin more (to the point where I'm taking time on Memorial Day weekend to hopefully help someone else find a great lawyer).

Going through this divorce was the most difficult road I’ve had to take in my life up to this point. Throughout the process Saminski Fuller stood with me and helped me navigate towards a conclusion that gave me my freedom and a positive outlook on my new life. Siobhan Fuller was incredible to work with, she was always prepared, helped me understand information if I was confused by any legal jargon and worked with me to reach the best possible outcome. She made me feel safe, heard and supported during this process. I also have to mention Linda Salazar, I felt lost at times dealing with all the legal paperwork and Linda was very kind and patient with me any time I felt stuck. I’d highly recommend this law firm anytime someone finds themselves in the unfortunate situation of divorce. I can never thank Saminski Fuller law enough for helping come out on the other side of this whirlwind feeling positive and hopeful towards my future

Saminski Fuller Law has gone above and beyond in my case. I was recently represented by Siobhan Fuller who is sharp and detailed with her work. Nothing was hard to understand, thankfully to Ms. Fuller and the staff. She never missed anything, and everything was on point. I hate going to court so thank you for basically being my face throughout the whole thing. Beyond thankful and happy with how my case settled.

Mr stahl care only about money and does not want to fight for his clients. Nor does he want to speak with anyone I spent weeks trying to have a conversation with him for him never to return my calls emails or any other communication he shows up unprepared and won’t even respect the courts enough to stand up when asked all to rise. He asked me for more money before we went to court and when I asked him what he has done for the retainer I already paid him he could not give me an answer. It’s sad when you put your confidence in somewhere and the won’t give you any respect I hope this review will help someone from wasting their money and costing them in life. You should be ashamed of your self Mr stahl

I know some cases are won and some are lost, but I believe the strategy put forth was very weak and she gave up real quick after collecting fluffy dollars just to understand the case.

I hired Elizabeth Manzo from Lindabury, McCormick, etc. firm. I needed assistance during a very challenging time in my life - needed to obtain guardianship for someone near and dear to me. This firm states they are well versed in guardianship - could not be further from the truth. They are a scam! (In my opinion.) They will bill over and over again and bill for a bill. For example, send a bill for looking over a document and then a bill for the cost of writing the bill.... WTF! This added unnecessary stress to an already difficult situation. They will look for any reason to send a bill (especially Elizabeth Manzo...again, in my opinion. I should also say allegedly to cover my a**).- I hope this feedback serves as a reminder of the importance of ethical practice in law. Everyone should stay away from this firm.

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.
