LeMont J.
LeMont leads a corporate and transactional practice with a focus on delivering practical, business-oriented legal solutions. His practice spans corporate law, commercial transactions, and real estate matters, advising clients through entity formation, governance, contract negotiation, acquisitions, and complex deal structuring. In the corporate and transactional space, LeMont counsels closely held businesses, startups, and growth-stage companies on formation strategy, operating agreements, shareholder arrangements, and day-to-day commercial contracting. He is known for structuring deals in a way that balances legal protection with operational flexibility, ensuring that agreements are both enforceable and commercially workable. His real estate practice includes representing clients in residential and commercial transactions, including purchases, sales, leasing arrangements, and hybrid structures such as rent-to-own and option-to-purchase agreements. He regularly works with clients to navigate deal risk, clarify ownership timelines, and document transactions to minimize future disputes.
"Hired LeMont for a compliance review — a claim I was about to print and an agreement I was about to sign. He asked good questions before starting instead of guessing at my facts, and one of them caught a real gap in my own draft. Where the law was unsettled he told me what he'd do rather than stopping at "it depends," which is the entire reason I hired a lawyer instead of trying to read the statutes myself. He also surfaced something my own research had missed entirely. He flagged an issue he could easily have billed me to analyze, and told me to wait until it was actually a problem. Delivered on time, at the flat fee quoted, no surprises. I'll be hiring him again."
Tim E.
I am a business attorney focused on providing practical, targeted legal services for small businesses, startups, contractors, consultants, and service providers. I help clients efficiently review, draft, and improve everyday business contracts, including service agreements, NDAs, independent contractor agreements, vendor contracts, commercial leases, and purchase documents. My approach is straightforward: identify the terms that matter, explain risks in plain English, and deliver clear, usable edits or drafts without unnecessary complexity. I regularly handle fixed-fee, quick-turnaround projects such as contract reviews, agreement drafting, and demand or termination letters. While I offer streamlined, project-based services for routine matters, I can also assist with broader business legal needs as they arise.
"Tim was excellent! I gave him project details (liability waiver and rental agreement) and what I needed and he produced the day he said he would with ZERO revisions needed. Highly recommend."

Lawyer Reviews for Newark Business Transfer Agreement Projects
Create Business Purchase Agreement
"A little slow to respond and was a couple days late on some adjustments. Overall quality of the work was good."
Review sale agreement
"I hired Dawn to review a purchase agreement for my business' purchase of another similar business. Dawn was responsive in communication and stayed within budget. We only spoke once on the phone. She gave verbal feedback on my document and recommended a few changes to make things more specific to make the contract stronger. She did not make any formal written revisions to my document. The primary reason for my 3 star rating on quality was that I felt she did not listen well on our consult call and frequently interrupted me or talked over me when I was answering her questions or attempting to explain things. I'm not someone who likes to leave "bad" reviews so I'm sharing my honest opinion here in hopes that it will help her to do better with future clients. Maybe your experience will be differ should you hire her."
Reply From Dawn K.
Thank you so much, Laura, for your honest review. Yes, I definitely could have listened to you better. I reviewed it based at first as to my understanding that the business you are acquiring was going to close, and when that changed, I had to change my assessment, and I definitely should have listened more. I apologize that I interrupted you during our call. I still hope you found our review time together valuable. I do hope that my recommendations and feedback on the specific sections that I feel needed more clarification in your contract are helpful for both you and the seller. Your feedback is invaluable, and I am going to be more mindful to avoid interrupting or talking over clients when they answer questions moving forward.
