We asked Carissa to assist us with a review and update of our estate plan. She was very knowledgeable and had a number of good insights and suggestions for bringing our plan current. She assisted us with some critical thinking and decisions and did so in a professional manner. Overall, she was very personable and easy to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend her services to family and friends. Given the scope of the work we found her fees to be fair and reasonable.

We recently moved to Wisconsin and needed our trusts and other documents updated. We had some things to change. Carissa was very thorough with the review and suggested changes that would save our heirs money in taxes. She was knowledgeable, helpful, and explained things as she went along.

It was so nice working with him! He truly cared about the situation we were going through. He dug deep to find the answers we needed and was able to help us out tons before he even requested a retainer! He has been truly amazing to work with. I would suggest him to anyone! Can't thank him enough for all of the help he was able to provide for my family. Definitely will be coming back to him if needed in the future.

Mr. Koehler always gave us a deep sense of caring with strong moral values. He often gave awareness of right or wrong and advised on ethical fairness, with final decisions up to us. Mr. Koehler, we believe, goes above and beyond what expectations anyone would have. An exemplary job, well done!

Over 60 years of requiring professional counseling services, I have never been better represented for legal counseling services than those provided by Mr. Chuck Koehler. He is absolutely top of the line. He excelled in an area of state statutory documentation that is seldom utilized involving garnishment procedure related to money judgment by financial institutions. His research and resulting effort resulted in a very rewarding conclusion.

I previously submitted a review but I am not sure that it submitted correctly, so I will try this again. A couple of weeks ago, I was faced with a personal situation which required me to seek expert legal advice. I was given a recommendation to contact Kevin Eismann at Epiphany Law. I called on a Tuesday and was given an appointment for the following day. Based on my very busy work schedule, I was extremely pleased with the time frame of the initial appointment. After introductions were complete, I proceeded to explain my situation. Full attention was given to me, legalities were explained, questions answered, and legal advice given. Attorney Eismann is very straightforward, which I truly appreciate. Within the first fifteen minutes I knew I had chosen the right attorney and the right law firm. I have full and complete confidence in Attorney Eismann and his law firm. I trust in him explicitly and know he will attain the best possible outcome for me. I would highly recommend Attorney Eismann and his law firm.

Mr. Kruescher was referred to us by a friend who advised my wife and I that we needed a comprehensive family plan. Mr. Krueschser helped us gather the information necessary for our first meeting which took place at our house. He was extremely helpful in bringing us issues that we had not even considered but were pertinent to our will and trust. At our follow-up meeting, a draft was ready for our inspection and my wife and I were given an opportunity to make any changes and alterations we felt were necessary to make sure this plan fit our family needs. We were both very pleased with the professional nature of the visits and the thoroughness of Mr. Kreuscher's knowledge and presentation. We have recommended him to several other friends which is an indication of how strongly we feel about how well our will and trust was prepared.

Foss Hooper did a great job on me living trust. He treated me as an important person, not just a number like so many other attorneys. I like the fact that he not only guided me through the estate planning process with thoughtful questions and suggestions, but he also has a sense of humor. I'm not used to meeting with attorneys, but he really put me at ease.

I am not going to sugar-coat this, I wanted to fight with everything inside of me for my child's safety and well-being during a long (almost 5 years) custody battle. I began the process alone but I quickly recognized that because this was my child, I was more emotionally-driven and less logic-based in my fight. Stephen Fozard brought logic, patience, and expertise into our world & I am confident that the recent outcome of our case would not have been the same without his guidance, honesty, and dedication to the advocacy of my little one - when she could not speak up for herself. We will be eternally grateful to Mr. Fozard & I would highly recommend him to every parent(s) who is in need of a guiding hand through this messy and confusing legal system. THANK YOU STEPHEN!!!!!

I met Erica when my legal trouble began over 3 years ago when she was appointed to me by Dean hearing. I have since personally retained her twice for remaining legal troubles. She is very forthcoming with what to expect. she doesn't tell you what you want to hear but she tells you the truth in what to expect and she has really saved me a number of times. Jail sentences I probably would have received had it not been for her! She is very will to work payment arrangements out as well. Absolutely recommend her to anyone.

I have worked one on one with Yadira helping a family member with a very bitter divorce. Yadira was EXTREMELY patient, kind, understanding, and very professional regarding everything with the divorce! She has always done her best to calm our nerves and take care of things immediately when they need to be addressed. She is very prompt at responding to calls and emails. Yadira is honest and compassionate and definitely the type of attorney that has her client's very best interest in mind. I would recommend Yadira to anyone looking to help ease the burden of divorce.

Very unprofessional. Rarely answer phone calls or voicemail. She we do the opposite of what she says in many cases. If she says she will call you tomorrow it won't be until next week. When time came to the courtroom, she barely had any argument to the defendant's attorney. As a result, I am now in debt because I could not obtain the funds to pay off my medical bills for an accident that should have never happened. On top of that I still have to pay her. This was a real regret. If you are in a dire situation please don't go here.

Beyond incompetent. If you are looking for legal counsel that can spell, write, address an envelope, or complete basic demographic information correctly, you are better off hiring a third grader. If you choose to work with MENN Law, then anticipate spending your time doing their job, including: reviewing and proofreading any and all correspondence, especially anything that serves as a permanent legal record; requesting corrections; fighting for a straight answer on anything as basic as where to click to fill out a common, government form; arguing to NOT pay for error-ridden or corrective work, and; doing the work yourself.

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
