Nancy Mizerak was an excellent attorney and the communication was perfect. Nancy and her assistant were timely on what paperwork they needed from us. Nancy has a skill at understanding the process and how the Judges will see what is presented. She and KGB Law will represent your interest to the full extent possible. We were given directions every step of the way through the process and all deadlines were met. And the process was successful Thank you...

Mr. Carr was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and provided me with much needed direction without being jugemental. His answers to my questions were very thorough; he was very professional and straight forward, but sincerely empathetic and I was very, very impressed with him.

Our legal situation was extremely complex. We were originally residents of PA with the requisite legal documents. Then we bought a home in FL and were residents there, with a whole set of FL-required documents. Recently we sold our FL property, became PA residents again, and because of changes in circumstances, we needed to have PA documents prepared once again.
In addition, we are a step-family, each with our own kids.
We are extremely pleased with how Attorney Bupp straightened out our legal document mess and drafted a simplified system that protects us and our assets, and in a fair way, at our deaths, directs those assets to those we care about.
Our old documents from both states and our step-family situation presented huge challenges which Tim saw as no problem. After patiently listening to us and our desires, Attorney Bupp made suggestions, but the decisions were always ours to make. Each time we presented him with an additional problem, Tim solved it. He was also great at translating the legalese into language we could understand.
We trust this man's knowledge and expertise with our long-term needs, (we are elderly), but most of all we trust the man!!!!

Accidents that occur are traumatic, both physically and mentally. You need a law firm that will put you first.
I had a truly positive experience with Freeburn Law. I had a great attorney, Ms. Christina Bradley, Esq., who stayed in contact through every aspect of the journey. Her team was the best.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use this firm again.
Thank you so much for everything.

I choose this law firm because the location was great for me since it's not far away and it's convenient they are open until 5pm. Had never worked with an Attorney before but wasn't impressed and glad I changed council. Fees are based on a “sliding scale” percentage depending on amount of money your working with = Expensive. In my case for an Estate account. I planned to handle basic responsibilities like opening the account to pay bills, reduce late fees, phone calls, etc. but that was made out to seem like it would be complicated and they should do all the work. $$$ Jack wasn't very personable and didn't shake my hand once. Glad I went with my gut and changed to an hourly Lawyer that was willing to let me be a part of the process and not nickel and dime me. I do not recommend and hate the idea of paying the ridiculously high bill I received for the little work that was done.

Vicky was great at getting me scheduled for a consultation quickly, and Jack was able to review my contract in easy to understand terms and ensure that all clauses are reasonable vs anything out of the ordinary and weighed the pros/cons of making a change. Fortunately, this was fairly uncomplicated and the only potential change would not be significantly relevant for me so we did not pursue any changes. He was very nice to talk with and I would certainly recommend him for others looking for contract review.

Marakay Rogers helped me with a child custody case recently. She was honest and upfront with me about what we would be dealing with and our chances for success, although they were limited. Not only did she let me know what to expect, she was in my corner every step of the way. With her knowledge and persistence, we won the case on every count.
Every phone call that I've left for her was returned in a reasonable amount of time and any necessary paperwork was delivered quickly.
I'm happy to use her again and to recommend her to anyone who wants to know that they have a fighter with them in their corner.

I have been fortunate to have had Ms. Rogers represent me on several occasions. All I can say is this: Any attorney who can put up with me as a client, and still hold her own in any courtroom is a winner in my book. I would recommend Marakay anytime, any day.

Was professional a first... he made a huge mistake in my paperwork, ( I was the plaintiff n he put me as the defendant!) it was clearly his error, then he refused to fix it when I won the case! The judge said his office Barley Snyder is responsible, took a month to straighten out n I still lost $$$$!
Never again - worst experience ever!!!!!!

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.
