I contacted Ms. Goodman regarding a medical malpractice case. She returned my phone call immediately. She evaluated my case very carefully, paying close attention to details. She then followed-up. Her knowledge and expertise are simply amazing. She is very professional, kind, and super smart. I'd absolutely recommend her!

I found myself on the wrong end of a lawsuit, which unfortunately in USA is all too common. It was completely baseless but when you are being sued you do have to respond to the suit or settle the suit. I was being sued for an exorbitant amount of money and on a rather tenuous, if not frivolous claim. In reality the basis of what I was being sued for would not have withstood a judgement even if the plaintiffs established jurisdiction, which they likely would not have had I chose to fight. The grounds of the settlement are confidential so I can only say that in some states the basis of the suit is actually thrown out by judges based on law and the plaintiffs are forced to pay attorney fees and a penalty for bringing such a suit. Unfortunately Arizona does not have these laws. As a result I was in a panic and just wanted out of the suit. I had previously hired a "blazing gun" type attorney who specialises in this type of law but he made matters worse. There was an offer of settlement but it involved large sums of money to be paid and I was not guilty of any wrongdoing so I was not willing to do that. I had contact with Brad Denton who was also amazing and Sterling handled my claim and to be honest I am so happy he did. Within weeks we had a settlement offer as soon as he replied to the lack of basis of the lawsuit. I would likely have won but been out a lot of money so when he had got the opposing counsel to simply see that they really did not have a winner they offered a settlement that had little impact on my life, no out of pocket expenses and it has now been dismissed. I did have to fall on my sword and do something I disagreed with morally but as it has no effect on my life the saying, "I'd rather be happy than right" comes to mind. I am thrilled with his ability to see through the facts of a claim and relay that to his opposing counsel and effectuate a settlement I otherwise do not think I would have got. I cannot say enough good things about Sterling. He is personable, approachable, knowledgable, funny, and talented as a lawyer. What he did my "blazing gun" lawyer who allegedly specialised in this type of law was unable to do. I highly recommend him as a lawyer and his firm is great, they give their time and do not just give you time you are paying for but had contact both on an amicable (human) basis, as well as great legal communication.

Shanks thoroughly researched our case and made himself an expert on the technical details of a very complex situation. He conducted many interviews and made an extra effort to locate all potential witnesses. Shanks was very well organized and presented the information to us in a manner so that we could easily understand all aspects of the case. Shanks is a very good listener and took the time to let us voice all of our concerns and facts. I greatly appreciated his friendly manner and easy going personality. He is highly recommended and will not disappoint !

We hired Kirk to help us create a new software licensing branch of our business. He patiently helped me understand the terms of our new contracts, showed in-depth knowledge at every turn and always delivered revised docs on time. He's also a very nice guy and sent me champagne when he heard I just got married! Would definitely recommend him and work together again.

I was extremely impressed with how Mr. Weiner presented my case in a recent arbitration hearing. He was able to quickly gain a clear understanding of a complicated matter and present it in a way that resulted in a full award. Mr. Weiner's experience was apparent in his preparation and in the hearing. He has also helped me resolve another conflict before I had to litigate and he has been very helpful in drafting and reviewing contracts for my business.

I went to Mr. Hudspeth hoping that he would represent me on a business contract. But after reviewing my entire contract and having two of his staff attorneys research my case, he came to the conclusion that I would be better served by an attorney with expertise in securities law. Mr. Hudspeth did not charge me for any of his or the other attorneys’ time. I was disillusioned that he was not going to be able to represent me because I wanted the most competent attorney I knew, and that was Mr. Hudspeth.
The reason I know this is because I also worked for Mr. Hudspeth for five years. I learned to have tremendous respect for him as a lawyer and as a person. I have been around lawyers most of my life, but working for Mr. Hudspeth I saw a side I had not been exposed to very much. His compassion for others and understanding comes through in his communications, and that is something I have taken away with me and try to emulate. In his practice too, he expected that everyone adhere to ethical standards as the right and natural thing to do.
Therefore, I highly recommend Mr. Hudspeth to anyone looking for competence, dedication, and years of experience.

Over the years I have used the largest and best known law firms from around the nation and the world. During the many years that I have utilized Don Hudspeth for legal advice on a broad list of issues I have found he and his team to be every bit as effective as the largest international firms. As a former special assistant to two United States Attorney's General I could not recommend Don and his team more highly.

My company and I were involved in a frivolous lawsuit. After terminating a two-year relationship with an attorney who did absolutely nothing except collect fees and jeopardize my case, I had a hard time finding a lawyer who could continue my case. I was prepared to lose everything, when my friend recommended Natalia Garrett to me. She advertised herself as a tax and business attorney, but she has extensive civil litigation experience, and her wide range of legal knowledge exceeds all expectations. She was able to defend my company and I from false accusations, and the case was dismissed in less than a month!
I was blown away by her intelligence, integrity, calm manner, and empathy in dealing with situations, as well as her hard work. She made me feel important, and she prioritized me as a client. Without any hesitation, I highly recommend Natalia Garrett.
I am eternally thankful for her help.

Jared Owens is the ONLY attorney I've ever enjoyed working with. He does not turn into a jerk when he puts on the attorney hat (which has been my experience with other attorneys). My case was extremely unique and he (as well as his assistant) was nothing but honest and professional, AND caring/sensitive too! Communication was always prompt. I would retain him again in a heartbeat!

Mr. Stoker is a man of great integrity. He is an attorney who actually cares about serving his clients to the best of his ability. I have had some pretty deplorable experiences with attorneys over the years. It is refreshing to know there is at least one honest one still in practice. I went to Mr. Stoker with a question regarding bankruptcy law. He thoroughly answered my question and didn't rake me over the coals in the process. I am calling on him again, to help with estate issues. He is very knowledgeable.
I highly recommend Dana Stoker. He is one of the good guys!

There were so many twists and turns in my Living Trust case with the opposing side, I nearly got car sick. But Mr. Pecharich was phenomenal. He kept us on the road, avoided the cliffs and potholes and completed the journey with everyone and everything intact. In the beginning, things looked seriously daunting. And, believe me, when we started there wasn't much more than hope. Mr. Pecharich's negotiating skills, repeated efforts and achievements were carried out with professionalism, knowledge, effectiveness, and success. Crucial also, was his caring. That is one of the things that made a difference in this situation, because his caring was genuine and helped smooth the road time and again. We achieved everything we'd hoped for, and without Mr. Pecharich at the helm, I have serious doubts that could have been accomplished.

Being self-employed in a highly litigious field, having an attorney available at all times is a must.
I met Mr. Baroumes through my work and approached him for some simple legal advice. He was quick to respond with clear, concise and well thought out answers that a layman could understand.
I also used Mr. Baroumes to write my will. He made it clear, simple and spent time with me so I understood what I was getting.
He has excellent people skills and was kind and patient with me.
His rates were fair for the level of responsibility a lawyer assumes providing legal advice. I trust him and would use him any time the necessity arrived.

Adam represented me after my company was sued and he was just the best! There were several times when his staff made me feel like I was their top priority. I never felt like I was "on a clock" when speaking with him. And surprisingly I had access to him directly. I was able to call a partner directly! It made me feel very secure during the suit.

A neighbor friend of mine who was previously represented by John and had nothing but great things to say about him referred him to me for help in a legal fight against a construction general contractor. While the fight is not yet over, John's help and counsel has already proven to be effective and useful. He is actually the 3rd attorney I have consulted on this matter, and John's actions have proven that his involvement in this case will lead to the best outcome for me. I will update this review when the case concludes.

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.
