Do you remember seeing a business magazine article several years ago saying that if a business owner waits until he or she has a legal problem before retaining a business attorney....it's too late for the attorney to help?
Back in the 1950's, my father realized that same thing and began helping local business owners with their unique legal needs. And for almost three decades, I've continued that work.
So, why do so many business owners wait to find an attorney? Probably because they have had a disappointing experience with another attorney in the past.
That's why I go out-of-my-way to make sure that will never happen if you retain me to provide legal advice and guidance for your business. And here's how I do that:
I always return phone calls promptly - even on weekends;
I always complete the tasks for your business on-time;
I always listen to what you, the client, wants;
I will never surprise you with an unexpected bill;
And I will strive to understand your business....as if it was my own.
That last point is really the key to successful business relationships. When you're looking for a legal adviser, you should select an attorney who can quickly grasp your business model and understand it. You should work with an attorney who is concerned about your business and can provide practical advice to help you reach your business objectives and goals....without breaking the bank.
And I can do just that....because I bring real-world business experience as a successful business owner myself.
I even wrote the book on Small Business law using my experience as an entrepreneur and business lawyer. You can get more information on my book by clicking this link - The Upstart Small Business Legal Guide.
I've also authored numerous articles and guides pertaining to starting a business and getting many of your legal questions answered up-front. You can review this information by clicking on:
And I offer a very unique legal service where quick answers to your legal questions and resolution of your problems are only a telephone call away....for a fraction of the price that other Buffalo, New York small businesses are paying. Just take a look at my Buffalo New York Business Attorney Retainer Program.
Just below are some of the business and corporate areas I can assist you with. And please remember that if I am unable to help with your business or corporate matter, I will put you in-touch with another Buffalo area Business Attorney that can.
