FebClient Testimonials
I work with this law firm for both business and personal reasons. They are super responsive, fair with their billing, and run by young professionals. I recommend them for anything your business or family needs. You’ll also enjoy the “personal” aspect of how they talk to you. They know you aren’t a lawyer and speak to you with that in mind!
Absolutely love A Business Law Firm, and especially, Lauren Ward! She is absolutely wonderful. Her heart for others and attention to detail make her the perfect person to set up your estate or review any contracts you may have. She truly has a passion for taking care of those you love after you are gone and thinks of everything you need to make sure you, and they, are well protected. Couldn't recommend enough!
I’ve had occasion to deal with attorneys in a variety of business matters in a variety of states. Honestly this group is a refreshing departure from the norm. Their billable hours are reasonable, they don’t pad their hours in negotiations and they are willing to respond to an email without billing for it! They listen to the priorities of the client and competently respond.
If you need a good, affordable business attorney and you’re reading this, stop right now, pick up the phone, and schedule an appointment. Ask for Lauren.
Wow!!! I am so impressed with this law firm!!! I had several business and probate matters which needed to be resolved... they took such good care of me and my legal matters! Very personable too; I will recommend them to everyone!!!
They helped us incorporate our business and gave all of the documents we needed. Mr. Belenchia is a great attorney and we are glad to have A Business Law Firm as a member of our team!
Great place! Danielle, up front is nice, fast and helpful. I met with both partners, Thomas and Chelsea. Both super smart and very professional. I went in to set up a business and they answered all questions I came in with and also answered all questions I realized after beginning our conversation. They guided me, based on my goals, into determining which type of business entity fit those goals. I recommend them to any reader of this post and will recommend them to anyone looking for business law related answers. Though I did not need them for litigation, if I come to need that service, I will use them. I will also use them for further business expansion. Thanks guys!
