After dealing with 8 other incompetent attorney's, I trusted Brian Skidmore with getting a complex foreclosure case dismissed. He was able to accomplish in 2 weeks, what my previous attorney was unable to do in 9 months. He did not talk down to me, as other's did. He explained everything very well, was quick to return phone calls, emails, questions etc. He was kind, efficient, & his expertise was apparent. I highly recommend his services. Thanks to Brian, my mother's 1969 home was saved from an illegal foreclosure in the nick of time. We are so thankful!

I retained Brian after a previous general practice lawyer had destroyed my case with improper/poorly timed filings and insufficient pleadings. The last thing I wanted to do was switch lawyers in the middle of a case but I had no choice, I had no trust/faith. Brian Skidmore was able to flip my case around and get me to an end result that I was happy to live with. REASONS WHY TO USE BRIAN: When this guy starts a case he goes ‘full throttle’ This lawyer will do everything he can to always have an upper hand. He takes the extra step to know every fine detail and weighs every possible option. Possibly his best characteristic is that I truly believe he cares about his clients, you’re not just a number and a paycheck. It’s difficult to find people passionate about their career but when it comes to a real estate lawyer, do yourselves a favor and retain this one.

Mr. McNeil was very professional with his job and made us feel so at ease. Any questions I had he had the answers. If he was unavailable he would contact me promptly. He didn't make me feel bad about myself and the problems I was having. He kept in contact with me to let me know how things were going and if there was a problem getting paperwork we worked together and got it to get it signed. I will be sure to recommend him to anyone I know. I also liked that he sent papers to me to make sure when I would have an appointment I would have everything he needed and I could email him if things came in after our meeting.

Mr. Campbell was very very helpful in my situation almost 2 years ago. The one thing that stands out in my mind is that when I had to call him and if he was not in the office at the time, his secretary always had answers for me and if not at the time, she would get back to me and always it was the say day.

I retained Mr. Martin when my former attorney was ineffective. He and staff were able to help me obtain custody of my child. The courts are partial to mothers but, he was able to convince the judge that the father was actually the more stable parent. I will forever be indebted to Mr. Martin. If I had to speculate I would go as far as to say that any less than stellar review was more than likely posted by one of the parties on the receiving end of his litigation.

Mr. William Evans is certainly a professional that shows dedication and commitment to his profession. Recently I used Mr. Evans services and the experience was one that will never be forgotten.

I'm from Houston, TX. I was driving through Missouri late one evening on my way to Michigan. I was pulled over and received a speeding ticket. I hired a different law firm in Missouri to handle the ticket. I paid them and the fines and the informed me that it was all taken care of. A few years later I attempted to renew TX DL and was informed that my TX DL had been revoked for a traffic violation by the state of Missouri. Houston was hit by Hurricane Harvey, and my house was flooded. I lost all my records in the flood. The TX Department of motor vehicles was useless, they could not tell me what municipality in Missouri the ticket was from. All they would say was to contact Missouri. When I attempted to contact Missouri, all I could get was the automated phone options that would always leave me on hold for hours and hours. I gave up and hired an attorney in Houston to figure it out for me. The attorney Houston took my $500 and several months later informed me that he was unable to find out anything helpful, but he could do more research for another $500.
Finally, I did a search for traffic attorney in Jefferson City, MO and came across Dodson & Waters. Nancy Hanks answered the phone, and I gave her brief description of my problem. Within 5 minutes Nancy had searched the public records and found the original ticket and the records where the original attorney had paid the the fines and court costs. She then was able to get the reinstatement issued from Missouri to Texas. Solving a legal problem in minutes that two other attorneys had failed at for years.
Thank you, Nancy Hanks! You're the best!

I'm not one to write a review, but I felt the need to do so. I was referred to this attorney through a friend of a friend. Don't let this attorney's age make you believe he is not qualified. I was pleasantly surprised by the attorney's diligence, intelligence, and professionalism. It's hard to find a lawyer that actually has your back. I never had to try and track him down to get updates, because he was always a step ahead. I would recommend him to anyone including my family.

I have worked with Craig on corporate matters as well as a lawsuit and have found him to always be one step ahead of my opponent's lawyer. He is able to grasp the essence of my arguments (in a very technical and narrow niche industry) with little additional explanation required from me. At the appropriate time, he presents various options to me in a clear and concise form which allows me to make informed, smart decisions with efficiency and confidence.

My brother was killed in an accident on the Ohio turnpike. In his will he designated my sister his executrix. She had decided that the other family members were not entitled to any funds from the settlement from the wrongful death suit. The remaining four siblings and mother decided to contact Slater and Zurz and Mark Ropchock took our case and represented us. Mark made sure that all family members were represented Mark did a splendid job representing the entire family and we all shared equally in the settlement. Mark was thorough and achieved what we felt was fair for all of us. He kept in contact and kept us well informed as the case progressed. Our family lives in Michigan and we needed representation by an Ohio firm and are grateful and happy that we contacted Mark Ropchock at Slater Zurz. He handled everything for us. I highly recommend Slater and Zurz. Slater Zurz has my permission to use this letter of recommendation in any advertising and promotion they wish. Joseph D Madden

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.
