Rick is an outstanding attorney with extremely high morals and integrity who works passionately for everyone he represents. He has represented me for several years and I have recommended him to numerous clients and friends because I have tremendous confidence in the work that he will do and the results he will achieve, which have always been superb.
Many qualities differentiate Rick from other attorneys, but one that most fascinates me is his keen ability to accurately predict what the opposing side is going to say or do and to readily anticipate and prepare for any and all options. He seems to always stay two steps ahead of his adversaries.
Rick has an expansive knowledge of the law in many areas and specialties. His advice is always spot-on. I highly recommend Rick to handle any legal matter that arises.

Have been a client of Rick's for about 5 years. In my dealings with him, I have found that Rick is not only a very knowledgeable attorney, but has also been super-responsive to my needs. He has a broad background in legal matters & in business, and uses it to a full extent to help his clients. It seems that Rick never sleeps and is always looking for ways to save me money, whether it is in reducing or eliminating exposure in a claim or structuring a deal in such a way as to save income taxes wherever possible. Always thinking and attentive, Rick is very impressive in his handling of all legal matters. He is great to have on your side, and I wouldn't like to think of being on an opposing side! Nothing but good things to say about Rick and his firm - an outstanding attorney who does his job with great integrity and professionalism.

“Thank you for your time, long hours, hard work, and dedication. Thanks also for the calls in and out, answering my questions, listening to my thoughts, and always returning my calls. I think that you did a superb, outstanding job. I have absolutely no complaints. I highly recommend you without a doubt. There were some things the insurance company did that I did not understand or agree with. That did not last long, because Mr. Ryder broke it down to me with no hesitation or mistakes. He always returned my calls or messages, with lightning speed. He always kept me informed. If he knew it, then I knew it. Hands down, I would not hesitate to call Brad Ryder, if his services are needed. Thanks for the long nights and weekend hours that you put into my case."

I met Brad Ryder over two years ago. At the time my mother was in the hospital because of care that she failed to receive while a patient at a local nursing home. Brad and his staff took an active interest in my mother’s situation. Over time my mom’s health deteriorated and Brad made sure that he visited her on a regular basis. I remember Brad bringing his son to the hospital on Christmas day, so that he could meet my mom before she passed away. I could tell that this was important to Brad.
Brad and his staff always kept my mother and me informed of what was happening. They worked hard to help bring my mom’s case to a conclusion. After many hard fought battles with the nursing home and their attorneys, Brad was able to help us settle my mom’s case.
My mom and Brad enjoyed a very special relationship. I still consider Brad to be a member of my family. He is honest and hardworking. Brad is also someone who cares about his clients.

I have known Mr. Mitchell for about 13 years. He has helped me through the purchase of a business, settling issues with a practicing physician's death, family members passing and business start ups. The situations have not always been pleasant or confortable to trust someone in a discussion of my fears and concerns. Mr. Mitchell is compassionate and tremendously helpful providing a stablizing force during difficult times, as well as a voice of reason. Mark Twain once wrote, "Kill all the lawyers." Please not Mr. Mitchell, he is a jewel. I always know he is just a phone call away with legal advise or intervention.

I called to speak with someone in regards to my tenant-landlord situation. The intake lady, listened and then said…well I’m gonna tell you upfront it’s $300-$400/hr to speak with an attorney. Okay? And? Did I inquire about the price? Obviously I wasn’t looking for pro-bono work or I wouldn’t have called THIS law firm. She said it might be a little too costly and that I should call my other lawyer back. Wowwwwwww. Thanks. And to think someone referred this place to me.

FIGHT: exert oneself continuously, vigorously, or obtrusively to gain an end or engage in a crusade for a certain cause or person.
Jarred Welborn has got the FIGHT. In a State (like Alabama) where I thought there was no possible way for a man to gain custody of his son, Welborn made it happen! He asked all of the right questions, collected every bit of information possible, put pressure on the opposition when needed, felt my "pain", listened to what I had to say and won the case.
If you're in the middle of a family dispute, don't go anywhere else. Hire Jarred Welborn! I now consider him part of my family.

It is obvious Jarred loves what he does, and with his wife on our team we were a force to be reckoned with. I am thankful for his services and will continue to use him now and in the future.

I have known Mr. Inge Johnstone for over a decade. I was injured in a car wreck and sought legal help with recovering medical expenses as well as damages. My case took almost three years to settle, during this time Mr. Johnstone maintained consistent contact with me.
He took me to the crash site to go over details of the accident while still fresh in my mind, assisted with finding the proper doctors for medical tests/evaluations, assisted with finding the best physical therapist and prepared me for the deposition process.
He returned my telephone calls promptly and I always felt like he had my best interest in mind. Overall, I was extremely happy with the work he did. He is honest, trustworthy and very personable. I highly recommend Mr. Johnstone as a personal injury attorney.

I really appreciated that he took the time to get to know me personally and was invested in helping me.

Donald Christian has helped us with two legal issues. The firs involved an incident with a car that was loaned to someone and the car was wrecked.

Mr. Crosby and his firm took the helm almost immediately following the passing of a prosperous client, and successfully opened her probate estate and advised as to some very complicated and contentious matters surrounding a charitable foundation that commenced upon her death. Mr. Crosby at all times kept myself and the other client advisors current on developments, and he patiently negotiated with and carefully explained the terms of the foundation benefits to the beneficiary in a manner that resolved all potential conflicts and disagreements in a mutually acceptable manner. He is well versed in all will, estate, trust and foundation matters, and is supported by knowledgeable and efficient firm support staff - especially his staff attorney and paralegal. I especially appreciated how Mr. Crosby entered this recent matter on a post-mortem basis and yet quickly gained traction on all of the key elements that required his counsel, expertise and problem solving.

Raymond Jackson is the best as far as I'm concerned. Even if I have a legal question that is not his expertise, I always consult with Raymond.
Raymond represented my business in a case where both the city and county were allies. Nobody
thought we could win the case. It was a constitutional law issue in Alabama. The opposition retained
a law firm from a large city in Alabama. Raymond won the case at the first level. The case was well developed, it was apparent the judge was impressed. Raymond was an outsider in this case.
Subsequent to our case, Raymond got more clients from the area and he continues to represent us.

- 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.

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.

- 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.

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.
