We retained MR. BUTLER yet he didn’t respond to a single email, return a single call and had a colleague appear at arraignment and bail hearing. We didn’t hear from the actual attorney we retained not one single time. When we talked to the associate he never knew about emails with the office staff regarding requests or assistance we had asked for and we were forced to retain another attorney who responds EVERYTIME we have a question himself. I sent correspondence requesting some of the retainer we paid be refunded to be told we signed a flat rate fee agreement and that Mr butler would be calling me ( he hasn’t) I strongly advice you to be very aware of who you’re actually retaining. I had recommended this attorney based on someone’s experience long ago but apparently that is no longer applicable. During the bail review the prosecutor didn’t oppose bail with a third party and we had provided all the third party information the office requested weeks prior and the attorney who appeared (Frances) didn’t even mention and allowed a 2 month out rescheduled court date when he could have provided that info that day! Inadequate would be a kind word. Thankfully we had held back some of the retainer or we would be out that too! The new attorney has done more in a week than this office did in 2 months and now the office staff has a nasty attitude towards us. After speaking with many others this seems to be the norm for this office now! RUN and find a different law group or you’ll pay for absolutely NOTHING! And I mean ALOT of money! It’s fraud and theft in my opinion! I’ll update this should they by chance decide to do the right thing until then I’ll leave this review on every platform I can find in hopes of saving someone else the grief this office has added onto our already horrific situation (false charges) as if we weren’t already enduring enough with that!

The Alaska Public Defender Agency does a great job considering its budgetary constraints. They provide more bang for the buck than private counsel, in my experience.
The problems Jeremy Ward talks about are not problems with the Alaska Public Defender Agency. They are problems with our society and government as a whole, caused largely by the breakdown of morals and the extended family. Don't criticize the agency with their finger in the dike trying to hold off the overwhelming flood of dysfunctional people. Criticize what caused that flood. And DO something about it. Volunteer!

Maribeth has been wonderful for all of our estate planning needs. She lets us know all of our options and why we should or shouldn't take legal steps to protect our personal property. We made a will, powers of attorney, living will and a trust. We were very satisfied each time we visited her office.

After the death of my husband I had many questions and concerns. Maribeth Conway had answers to all my questions, was very knowledgeable and able to provide guidance and a plan of action which is exactly what I wanted. She also communicated with me in terms I could easily understand. It was a very emotional time in my life and Maribeth and her staff were wonderful, very proffessional and compassionate. I have been kept informed and any followups have been done efficiently by her and her staff.

We had a business / contract dispute case. We retained Adam, who assured us we had a case. After he went through the large retainer, he believed that we would win the case and offered to the case on contingency. After 2 years of spotty communication he changed his legal theory and then accused us of lying to him and withdrew from the case. We retained another attorney who told us that we did have a case, but because Adam did not get a forensic accounting of the business (which should have been done first and foremost) and discovery was closed, it would be hard to impossible to come to a damages and value that was lost.

Not exactly up front and thorough during my process, was left in the dark about major decisions, was told I couldn’t ask the doctor certain questions, advised me to settle on a case that I now realize should have stayed open due to the medical issue I’m still having. I’m not gonna say stay away from this attorney but I’ll NEVER openly recommend this attorney to anyone EVER.

Disappointed with the quality of legal "representation." One would be better off pro se than waste your money with this attorney. I hired this attorney on the pretense that he would work hard for his client(s), not for the defendants (insurance company.) Mr. Coe does not work FOR his client nor does he put effort into cases he "feels has no value." I would fire him, though as this case was on a contingency fee, no better attorney would like to share the proceeds and take on this case.

Mr. Fullerton seemed to know the law fairly well, but he was not particularly pleasant to deal with. While a confident attorney may inspire trust, I felt that he was arrogant to the point of being smug. His demeanor, for me, overshadowed his performance. This was not a particularly challenging legal issue that I suspect most lawyers could have handled pretty easily so I cannot specifically speak to his knowledge or ability with a difficult case. I wouldn't want to deal with him again, however.

Mr. Kittleson,
You have one rude office manager that I could not make an appointment with. I called today for an appointment and your office manager concern was $150 consultation. She had no knowledge whether you could handle my landlord case at all. She hung up twice on me without answering my questions. Your office manager was condescending and unprofessional. I have come to the conclusion that if you have an insubordinate and uneducated person such as your office manager who states that I should find a reputable lawyer then it is time you find a NEW office manager.

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.
