Stay away from LARRY PINO, his law firm, and The #deathcamps he runs at all costs. Sadly I had the unfortunate experience of dealing with him and his nasty wife! He was unprofessional, uncaring, and extremely rude and nasty during our interactions. Please find any other attorney to represent you! He and his wife Janet Pino are Scammers! Just Google #DYNETECH tells the whole story! https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2009/12/16/dynetech-creditors-question-founder-pinos-new-185m-home/

Brian has been my business attorney for many years handling legal agreements and contracts. When I purchased my first home and it was time to move, my apartment complex tried to hold back my deposit it was obvious how they could have easily gotten away with it, they most likely do it regularly because who wants to spend $1,600 or possibly more, to recoup $1,600? Brian handled the case like a champ, I received my deposit back in full, plus the cost of hiring him. That's what I call justice! But wait, who knew he handled M&A too? He has proven to know a lot about a lot and is an invaluable resource that I trust and respect as a legal professional. I highly recommend Brian Mills!

Sultana and her staff were excellent. They were able to quickly asses my circumstances and provide me with the advice I needed to decide on a course of action. Working with Sultana was very convenient and we were able to get the outcome I needed. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs legal advice, particularly in the areas of bankruptcy and foreclosure law.

My experience with the law firm of Winderweedle Haines Ward Woodman P A, has always been nothing short of spectacular. My initial counsel of record was Randy Rush, a brilliant and kind Attorney. Upon his retirement, I was then directed to the good graces and expertise of James Doyle, a very dedicated and detail oriented Attorney whose wisdom respectfully resonates with one far beyond his years. A good listener, honest and a straight shooter. He has an integrity and dedication that continues to subscribe to the level of stellar service that Winderweedle has championed for years. Thanks so much, Winderweedle, etal, and James, for being the best!

So it began a year ago when I hired Mrs White to take her on a case as to where a lighter caused my car to catch on fire... 8 months into her taking my case I could not get any information nothing was being done there was never an update I finally complained and the very next day I got a letter of declination... So after I received my email of declination I called Miss White and she tried to say that it was because there was not enough evidence and the story had changed which the story had never changed you cannot waiver from the truth. Miss White proceeded to say that she would continue to go after the manufacturer of the lighter company for the amount that he offered being $2,500 when there was clearly $7,100 worth of damage done to my car. So at this point it being too late for me to hire another attorney a year after the fact I was going to agree on yes please get the 2500 will ever since then I have been trying to get ahold of Mrs White via emailas well as phone I cannot get ahold of her and she does not call me back so where do I go from here if you ask me that's pretty lousy to do someone that was expecting you to fight for them but because you complain they resign from your case

She is my Guardian Angel. Seriously. She is so calm and helped me in a very hard time and just like she promised, she won my case like a Pro. Please don’t let the billboards fool you, Mrs. Tanya is one of the best lawyers you can ever find and this is coming from someone that has been dealing with more than 10-20 lawyers in past 5 years. She is so calm, professional, on point, doesn’t get distracted by nonsense, her calmness made me feel so comfortable because I had a very bad situation and she is not like other attorneys who are intimidating. I love her so much and I will make sure to always use her for Wills, trusts, whatever I need. By the way she is very fair with pricing and no words can describe her wisdom. Please don’t make the mistake of going with someone else. She is the real deal. No drama, she won the case like a Pro. Focused, determined to help people, very sweet and a gift to humanity. Words cannot describe her knowledge and wisdom!! Hire her. You wont regret it!!

Mr. Grossman is the worst attorney I have ever hired. He doesn’t communicate at all. He will not return emails, phone calls, or text messages. Once every 3-5 months I would get a text from him telling me that “he’s working on the case”. It’s been 2 years of no movement at all. Save your time, money, and sanity. Do not hire him.

A while back I hired Michael for a traffic(speeding) ticket. I hired him to get the points dismissed and so that I would only have to pay a fine. After meeting with him, he discussed this strategy with me that I had never heard of before. He said he had not argued this in front of a judge before but he felt confident in his argument. I agreed we should go for it! He seemed to be confident in his approach. Well, Michael got my ticket dismissed! I was SO happy and very grateful! Michael said the judge had no choice but to dismiss based on the legal argument he made. I was floored. Absolutely impressed. Michael is so creative and incredibly smart. He has a gift, that is for sure. I highly recommend Mr. Grossman and his firm, Cohen Grossman.

We are now looking for a new Lawyer in Entertainment Law but used Player Law a few years back and we were very disappointed, to say the least. When dealing with Player Law a few years back, namely, Tom Player, we found that his follow up was terrible. Also we felt he was incompetent in reviewing executing a stronger more favorable contract for our side. There aren't many Entertainment lawyers in Orlando, but don't choose Player Law. You will likely be disappointed.

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.
