Brett handled both the sale of our condo and purchase of a new home. He was very knowledgeable and approachable. He was very responsive and promptly let us know about anything unusual or risks that we as seller or buyer should be aware of. He took care to explain the key points of real estate transactions. He handled the communications on both ends very well. He has a very deep knowledge and network of realtors and real estate industry contacts in Westchester. He was able to coordinate both closings and the closings went smoothly. For real estate transactions, I highly recommend Brett and his team.

I am very passive and fearful. I always get taken advantage of. James Lenihan won't allow someone to take advantage of in court, he fights for you and justice. He really watched out for me. I trust his expertise. Thanks Jim

Honest, relentless, resourceful. These are the first few adjectives that come to mind when thinking of James Lenihan. Upon hearing about Mr. Lenihan from a trusted friend, my initial reaction was that he sounded passionate and compassionate. By the end of our first phone conversation, I was ecstatic to feel "heard" by someone who could actually help me. Mr. Lenihan listened to me and immediately produced a logical, systematic course of action representing my best interests. This was a welcome surprise after months of dealing with closed doors, ineffective counsel, and zero results. As we continue to work together, I remain in awe of how fortune I am to have him representing me. Having dealt with multiple law firms regarding a variety of issues over the past decade or so, my highest recommendation goes to Mr. Lenihan. His breadth and depth of knowledge is extensive and multi-faceted. His network of colleagues is far-reaching. However, what makes Mr. Lenihan stand head and shoulders above the rest, is observing him in the courtroom. Brilliant is an understatement. Anyone would be hard pressed to find a better advocate, attorney, or human. Jimmy is the best. You can trust your life in his hands, literally and figuratively. He is an everyday hero.

This so called attorney should be disbarred!! I’m still suffering from a divorce, that this man handled. First, every time he appeared in court, he was late and unprepared. Second, he never depositioned my ex-wife. Every time I asked him, his answer was. I don’t know. Third, just before the trial, he left me, to go skiing in Italy and had another lawyer, who knew nothing about my case take care of it. The end result was. I had to pay 9 yrs alimony and child support. 2950.00 per month. I only make 110k a year. I now was put in section 8, because Mr. Lenihan got his license from a Cracker Jack box. After getting screwed so badly by this man. I’ve decided to investigate. I spoke to many lawyers who know him. They all said, he is horrible. I also spoke to some judges who know him. They all said that he has a habit of being unprepared. Stay away from him. He couldn’t get you out of a parking ticket.

If you're disabled or part of the LGBT community and you turn to these people for help you WILL be turned away after being lied to and promised help, and when it will be far too late to do anything about it to save yourself. NEVER TRUST THESE PEOPLE WITH ANYTHING OF IMPORTANCE. Last year I was living in Putnam County and barely escaped being trafficked, and HVLS turned me away after weeks of promising help me in court, only to finally abandon me at the last possible second. Now, I am living in Dutchess County in a black mold and asbestos infested slum house with a landlord who is stalking and harassing me, and the first thing AMANDA made sure to tell me was, because of THEIR negligence on my last case and my efforts to escalate it which were refused anyway, that I would probably not be helped this time. This is pure retaliation and it's illegal, but who is going to stand up to a bunch of lawyers for using their power to harm the people who trust them? ME. I have made it my goal to sue the State of New York and HVLS will absolutely be part of any future litigation due to the immense harm and suffering they have caused me mentally and physically. I TRUSTED THEM to do the right thing for once after how badly they treated me when I was nearly trafficked (and yes there is proof, Google Hunks and Hunnies Animal Sanctuary to see) and they responded by gaslighting me and threatening to retaliate against me. AGAIN. I will not let these people get away with doing this to me twice or to ANY other disabled/LGBT people when their entire purpose is supposed to be to help people like us. If I could find an attorney I would sue HVLS personally for ableism, discrimination, violating my rights, retaliation, negligence, and so much more. If anything, do not disclose that you're disabled or LGBT as they obviously use that information to prey upon vulnerable individuals and cause far more harm than they would if they simply didn't try to "help".

I would like to inform you, that Todd Kulkin Law has done my legal work in the beginning and he completely neglected his duties by being unresponsive to my requests, failing to complete agreed upon tasks and, when he did complete tasks, made so many mistakes that it exposed my company and me to potentially significant tax, civil and criminal liability. Because of his mistakes, he forced me, at great embarrassment, to explain these issues to my investors. The Company has incurred $18,909 in legal, accounting, tax cleanup, filing and other fees to clean up the mess. We then agreed to a settlement, which he signed, but then breached.

I want to share my gratitude for the outstanding work that Charles and Melissa did for my client whose house was in foreclosure and was about to be sold at the public auction. The situation with my client's property was very tough - his property in Queens, NY was underwater, and the bank didn't want to entertain any short payoff offers. However, Charles and Melissa put together and executed a compelling strategy involving the bankruptcy sale, which forced the mortgage bank to return to the negotiation table and allowed the client to sell the property on his terms. Charle's and Melissa's expertise in the complicated world of bankruptcy is undeniably strong; I will recommend their services to any homeowner whose house is in foreclosure and who requires similar legal representation.

Our company was forced to file Chapter 7 in the middle of the pandemic. Due to loss of business we had to relocate and deal with creditors including our landlord. Not only were we not able to pay rent, we also had bank loans that were pulling us down. After several consultations we hired Mr. Higgs to steer us through bankruptcy proceedings so we could stay in business. His level of professionalism and the understanding made all the difference to our small business. We are happy to say we were able to keep our business and our livelihood. I would gladly give Charles Higgs 5 stars for this.

As a commercial real estate CFO for the past 30 years, i have worked with many attorneys on a wide array of matters. These attorneys ranged from Park Avenue $1000/hr firms to local counsel in small towns. Peter is absolutely one of the best regardless of the firm size or stature. Above everything, he is practical and efficient in his representation of his clients. He vigorously and expertly defends his client, and does so with the overriding objective of achieving the client's best result even if it is at the expense of revenue opportunities for his firm. He never lets ego interfere in his dealings with opposing counsel, and he is extremely conscious how his clients hard earned money is spent on costly litigation. He does not delegate in areas that require partner attention - when you hire Peter you are getting a seasoned and principled attorney who is ethically responsible while aggressively protecting his clients interests. I would recommend Peter to associates, friends and family without hesitation. If you have a partnership or real estate litigation matter in the NY market, you are in good hands with Peter Schillinger and Lori Finsterwald.

Peter represented my Condominium in lawsuits filed against several professionals and vendors involved in a failed construction project. The lawsuits were settled for a high six-figure reward, which far exceeded my Condominium's expectations... ALL THANKS TO PETER'S EXPERTISE. Peter is without a doubt extremely knowledgeable and personable. He often assisted the Board at Owners Meetings fielding questions from owners keeping them as informed as the Board.

Peter helped me resolve a complex partnership litigation case in 2012-2013. I was dealing with unresponsive international parties, and Peter's expertise helped us fast-track proceedings and obtain results that far exceeded my expectations. A case I had considered writing off as a lost cause became a winner for me and my family. Peter's fees were very reasonable and he was very easy to work with. He struck me incredibly knowledgable and extremely approachable -- a rare (and valuable) combination in the legal profession.

Horrible service and representation of any related to professionalism. Takes advantage of elderly. With possible intent to drag cases. Possibly turning in documents on behalf of clients missing required information with the intent of delaying legal proceedings in timely manner

Hired Ms. Trott for a family court case concerning visitation and custody. Ms. Trott helped to correct a previous visitation order that was poorly formed causing endless disputes. We dealt with 2 other lawyers that either made promises they couldn't keep, tried to squeeze every dime they could out of us, or simply didn't care and did the bare minimum of work. The case was complicated and dragged out by the other party, but Ms. Trott never treated us unfairly and was patient. She was always understanding, and honest so we knew what to expect and that she would do her best. Hopefully we won't need to, but we would definitely hire Ms. Trott again.

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
