We have not found any cost information for this lawyer
Welcome. I'm more than a lawyer - I'm a person. At least many of my clients find me more personable than some other lawyers. I chalk this up to my native Queens upbringing and accent. Seriously, though, I don't stand on ceremony. I talk straight, plain and to the point, and am occasionally too blunt, but on the other hand, sometimes, I just might make you laugh. Don't let this informality fool you though: I have attended some of the best schools in the country and worked for billion dollar companies. That said, deep inside, I'm still just very much a "regular" middle class kid from one of the modest "outer" boroughs - even if I have occasionlly walked through the halls of power. And I'm happy to provide this combination of sophisticated knowledge and homespun service to you, just ask. I look forward to speaking with you. Jeff

Entity formation and contract drafting
We needed advice in chosing a company structure and with a subsequent drafting of an agreement with a supplier. Jeff was extremely helpful with his advice with regard to the company structure and how we might negotiate with a sole supplier. He communicates with clarity and has a warm personality.

Thorough consultation
I approached Jeff with questions about getting myself up in business. He provided a thorough consultation, asking me specific questions and offering ideas based on my answers. He is quite knowledgeable about small business and gave me information that makes me better informed than I was previously.

Good advice is what we needed, and what we got!
Jeff helped us translate real business needs into legal documents, without killing the deal. My partner and I were forming an LLC to open a new restaurant downtown. He sat us down and broke down the issues into plain english, without scaring us half to death in the process. We had a lot of quest...

Patient and Professional for Business Needs
I have had the pleasure of working with Jeffrey Laner from consultation to incorporation.
