My experience was great. The receptionist Nicole was very nice and professional over the phone and in person. This law firm prepares their clients well for the first consultation by sending a special form to understand their clients needs better. Attorney Jay Parmelee was very helpful and knowledgeable about my issue. Thank you everyone for your help.

John Charland is one of the preeminent plaintiff attorneys. I’ve known John for 20+ years and his ethics are above reproach, which is a quality every client deserves. He is successful in his client representations because he is very knowledgeable of the law, and he works tirelessly on their behalf. I strongly recommend The Charland Firm for individuals seeking an attorney who will look out for their needs foremost.

John Charland represented me in a very difficult case. Even though we had truth on our side, the deck was stacked heavily against us. I honestly don’t think any other attorney would have taken the case as it was such a huge challenge to win. I found John to be honest, very intelligent and especially hard working and dedicated to getting the best outcome for me that was possible. Caroline joined the team about midway into it and that was such a blessing to have her on board. John’s knowledge of the law and his many years of experience show in the excellence of his work. I am so grateful to him for accepting my case. And, we won!

One of the best decisions I’ve made was selecting John Even to oversee the settlement of my Mom’s estate. His wisdom and insight on reaching the optimal settlement for my family was priceless. Without his patient encouragement over thee years I would have settled for a poor result early on. John’s meetings were concise and educational, and only scheduled when absolutely necessary. This saved our estate thousands of dollars. And his paralegals are first class. My experience confirms that one should never shop for attorneys to find the lowest rate. Far better to hire the best, who bills fewer hours with, with better results. And character matters. John is 100% trustworthy.

Florence Bruemmer is an excellent lawyer. I have used her on many occasions, such as: - Estate Planning (Power Attorney, Family Trust and Will Preparation) - Family Law - Premarital Agreements - Reviewing Contracts As you can see, I continuously use Florence for her broad legal knowledge and trustworthy legal services. She does a phenomenal job representing me. She operates with a sense of urgency, and her communications are clear and concise. She always has the appropriate level of professionalism to allow legal manners to run both quickly and smoothly. She explains documents in simple language that gives me assurance in what I’m signing.

To say Florence restored my faith in lawyers is an understatement. I was in search of a lawyer to help me through a civil case and Florence was the only one who took the time to look over my case and respond to my inquires. She not only responded but she responded in great detail. I knew right there she was special. I hired her and we were victorious on that case. I have been consulting with her ever since on various issues. I am now currently involved in another legal matter which she is helping me on. As always, she has been beyond helpful. I ask a lot of questions and she has always been just an email away from answering every single one. What I think is the most amazing thing about Florence, is her communication. She consistently responds within hours, at most, to my numerous emails. I personally find this absolutely incredible. I feel blessed to have found Florence and if I am ever in need of legal assistance, in any fashion , she is my girl!

He also asked what was my expectation with regards to case resolution. Mr. Allen was phenomenal in court. He was very professional, had a great understanding of my situation and was experience with his handling of the prosecutor and judge. I wouldn't use any other attorney other than Mr. Allen. Forgot to mention. His price was very reasonable. I was totally satisfied with his services and the court outcome.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the team was incredibly organized, responsive, and supportive—always keeping me informed without overwhelming me with unnecessary details. Their dedication and expertise ultimately led to a successful resolution of my case, and I’m grateful beyond words.

When my little girl passed away it was devastating. I went on his website and filled a brief description of daughter’s case. He called immediately, we spoke for awhile. I gave a few medical records and by the next few days he reached out me and took the case. Craig was very compassionate and would always respond if I had any questions or concerns. He always encouraged us to do what we felt was right. After 10 years of working with Craig knapp and his team they were part of our family. They were very professional and respectful of our daughters case. I am a nurse by profession, I am amazed at how much medical knowledge Craig Knapp and his team have. My daughter would be proud Craig helped to bring justice to our daughter’s medical negligence. We settled far more than we expected. Thank you Knapp and Roberts

Mr. Jeff Schoen assisted me earlier this year with my business start-up. I was very impressed with his level of knowledge business law, liability protection, and government requirements, etc. I found him to be very approachable and genuine which made me feel comfortable. He went the extra mile by checking in with me later and sending me updates regarding new government requirements which honestly shows how much he truly cares about my wellbeing and success. Thanks so much for everything you do, Jeff. Looking forward to working with you again.

Only leaving one star because I have to. Sue sold me the dream during our consultation over the phone. Told me everything I wanted to hear but actions did not measure up in the court room. It’s been since 2020 that I’ve lost my daughter to her father who is an absolute POS. Despite having provided mountains of proof and organizing all my exhibits. (All Sue had to do was file them, in the exact order they were in!!!!) And still NONE of them were used during my trial. It was he said vs she said and honestly the responding lawyer (Jason Pistiner) did what he was paid to do, took my daughter away and in return put me on child support. I had invested over 5 grand (putting myself in a financial bind) for Sue to be present at ONE trial and she failed me completely in many ways. Including the fact that our trial was virtual due to Covid and because her assistant Kim Yazzie failed to notify me that the trial was not going to be in person. I showed up to the court house the day of my trial where I learned it was virtual and had to sit in outside of the courthouse, literally outside. The traffic was noisy and I couldn’t concentrate on what was being said, nor did I have a way of effectively communicating with Sue to ask questions before or during my trial. To this day I am STILL fighting for justice for my daughter as she was placed in the hands of a convicted drug user/dealer who has failed my daughter completely since 2020. Please do your research before choosing Sue and make sure if you decide to proceed with her, you ask for itemized receipts of what she’s charging you for because I was never provided that information and don’t understand where 5 grand went when I did all the work and all she did was drop the ball the day of my trial. Not to mention how she claimed to have been “under the weather” the day of my trial which she seemed to be discombobulated and unfocused and even after the judge asked her if she was ok to proceed or needed to reschedule she refused to reschedule and chose to proceed as “sick” as she claimed to be. I think she intentionally failed to fight for me because she knew I would have to keep fighting (using her services) if I lost and in return it would cost another 5-10 grand if not more. That’s not how business is done. Had you won my case or even attempted to try and win my case, I wouldn’t be writing this negative review and you would have more business by word of mouth and recommendations but I would never in my lifetime refer anybody to Sue as she has proven to be untrustworthy and incompetent. The few minutes I talked to her on the phone when she needed additional information, she seemed very scatterbrained and all over the place. Which explains why her assistant isn’t good at follow ups. Blind leading the blind. By the way I noticed her 5 star reviews are from employees or friends which says a lot about her reputation! All I can say is if you’ve read through my review please consider investing elsewhere and don’t go based off the dream she sells during the phone consult. And if you’re reading this Sue, a refund would be nice.

Richard led our bad faith suit against our insurance company that denied a significant claim required for home repairs after a pipe burst in our home. Richard is an expert on bad faith claims and proved that expertise in helping to win our claim against a top insurance company. Richard led our legal team over 18 months and was able to negotiate a fair settlement for us at a reasonable cost. We are very pleased with the quality of our legal team, the support and expertise they provided throughout the litigation process. They are sincerely a winning team!

Rich did a great job representing our financial services organization and I highly recommend him! We retained Rich to initiate proceedings against our insurance company for denying a large claim. As a first step, Rich engaged in discussions with opposing counsel and set forth our position in no-nonsense terms. He substantiated our position with thorough case law citations. As a result, we ended up settling this matter without having to file a complaint, saving our organization the expense and time-consuming process of litigation. I have been practicing law for over 20 years and I found Rich to be one of the toughest negotiators out there. Our executive team is very pleased with the outcome in this matter. We appreciate Rich and his zealous advocacy! Highly recommend!

Rich Gramlich, Professional, Experienced and Prepared. "PEP" How can you do better for your client than obtaining a settlement well in excess of what the client expected. Rich did just that. He was cost conscious asking me, if I wanted to pay for a deposition or pass due to costs? I left that chose to Rich who chose yes and I'm glad he did. The deposition appeared to have increased the settlement in mediation quite significantly. Rich was obviously very well prepared for the deposition with a good retention of the facts and issues supporting my claim. I am not an Attorney but my two kids are so I get it. Law is a business so chose a lawyer that's a winner. I did and it provided great results. Great experience. Thank You Mr. Gramlich

I made a telephone call to Marc Lieberman Monday, 30 September 2013 and left a message. I was very impressed that not only did Marc call me back less than 20 minutes later, but he gave me excellent and honest real estate advice. This was despite the fact that his advice to me would not bring him my business in this situation. I could tell that Marc had my best interests in mind by the advice he gave me. If I ever do need to hire a real estate attorney in Arizona, I would absolutely hire Marc Lieberman. If you need a top-notch, highly professional and honest real estate attorney, I highly recommend that you hire Marc Lieberman!

I contacted Attorney Marc Lieberman in January to help me with a real estate transaction that just was out of control...the realtor did not do one thing to sell my home besides list it for sale. The realtor tried to adjust the original contract without my knowledge or permission to change his commission and forced me to use a title company who would not take my calls and tried to make sure he received his new commission rate! I emailed Attorney Lieberman through Avvo shortly after my house was under contract. Within 5 minutes I received an email back with answers from Attorney Lieberman!! After a few days of emailing, Attorney Lieberman advised that I should wait to retain him until I was ready to file a lawsuit. He gave me the cost in advance (ball park) and mentioned that he would assist me with questions until/if that time came. I would have to say Attorney Lieberman is an amazing attorney, he offered to help me at any hour of the day, was honest, and really made an impression with me.

I would strongly recommend Marc Lieberman as an attorney. He has the ability to work through complex situations and is a true deal maker. He is also very skilled at focusing on the important issues and being very efficient with his time. Marc does not get caught up in the ego battles many lawyers get caught up in, which merely costs clients time, money and considerable aggravation. With his soft manner, Marc is able to be both tough and effective, without letting the legal process spin out of control. This is a rare quality found in today's legal profesion. This of course saves money in that he is not just looking to run up the bill. Most importantly, I always feel Marc has the clients best interests in mind when giving advice and providing legal services. Marc also has a great team of professionals he works with and will delegate tasks when appropriate. In summary, I highly recommend Marc Lieberman due to his intelligence, service (always top notch) and his ability to put his clients' interest first.

Of all the attorneys I ever worked with- this individual was one of the most helpful individuals I ever met in my life., I am a physician - I had a problem with an administration playing games that are not uncommon in Tucson. Hardy understood the problem even after my meandering attempt to explain the problem. He was able to see the problem clearly and took the appropriate steps to get the problem administration- to understand their behavior was unprofessional and was inconsistent with their own policies and procedures- and their unrealistic demands to try and get us to work several additional hours without proper compensation represents harassment. Although the same agency is still harassing their current staff- Hardy's help put the agency on notice. It allowed me and several others to escape the poor working conditions they were imposing on their entire staff. Without Hardy's help- the agency would of kept making unfair and unrealistic demands on the staff and myself. Before consulting with Hardy- the agency was ignoring its own policies and procedures - and making unfair demands at their staff. Staff who did not follow these demands were fired and threatened they agency would report this to the employees licensing board. The agency removed important protections for the workers that was written in clear language in their policy and procedures. Hardy made it clear to the agency they were in violation of their own rules. After his notification- several of us were able to successfully get out of our contracts because their demands were in clear violation of policy. When we tried to point this out to the administration before I consulted Hardy- the administration used smoke and mirrors to justify their improper demands. After Hardy made it clear that the agency was violating their own policy with their demands the administration quickly backed away from their demands and most of the staff who were effected - were able to leave the agency. If it was not for Hardy- this would never of happened- and we would of been forced to work in a hostile environment. I recommend Hardy without any reservations- he really saved many of our staff and myself from continued harassment from the agencies medical director and her distorted use of the agencies own guidelines.

This truly has to be the BEST criminal defense attorney association in Tucson Arizona hands down. THE FEDERAL KING IS KATSERELLIS LAW! I hired Kat on day 1 after a free consultation and he devoted so many hours of his time to me and I was able to go over my entire case with him and explain to him how the previous attorney I have was neglecting me and not willing to cooperate with me on anything within the interest I found best fit for my case with my brother. so within 48 hours I had an answer on a Plea, within 9 days got a plea agreement, within 1.5 Months with Kat’s word given was able to get me to court to begin the process to finish my case, and in under 90 days was able to successfully execute and close out a 6 month incarceration that was potentially looking at 33-41 months maximum. Kat is the most well respected individual, COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY TO HIS ATTENTIVENESS and he is ALWAYS ON CALL 24-7! Kat has THE MOST KIND HEARTED paralegal that works with him and her name is Jasmine. She was always on call and answering me any time I needed her to. Jasmine is so organized with coordinating anything Kat needed throughout my case and the best part is their a dynamic duo and were able to dominate my case for me and make sure we all were successful within the outcome. Kat and Jasmine know how to be patient when it came to any emotions that got in the way throughout this case because of how difficult our prosecutor was. Every single time I texted or called one of them answered. They always emailed me anything I asked for, and never once did they say No to me. I always was given anything I needed from the both of them. Truly I thank them from the bottom of my heart for executing this case and helping save my brothers life. Kat and Jasmine both helped get my brothers life back and help me get my life back on track with so much support because they knew how difficult it was for me to balance an incarcerated brother while also having to be on the outside free world and make sure he was okay at the same time. I told Kat that a miracle would happen at our sentencing and that’s exactly what happened, a time served miracle thanks to Kat! The level of intelligent, integrity, loyalty, respect, and authentic work ethic that this man has is BEYOND BEAUTIFUL. KATSERELLIS LAW FIRM IS THE BEST LAW FIRM IN TUCSON ARIZONA! God forbid if anything ever happens again, Kat is on speed dial and will be retained immediately. I trust him with my entire life till the death of me. God bless this law firm for everything they did to save my families life.

I recommend Michael Faith very highly. Michael took me on as a client in real estate dispute. Michael’s vast knowledge of the law made it possible for him to discover information about my case of which I was not aware. He took, what due to the other party, became a very complicated case and found ways for me to not only win the case, but to protect me in the future regarding issues around this property. I found Faith, Ledyard & Faith, PLC through my Arizona Teacher’s Association, where Faith Law offered a discount to educators. Because this case went on for a great length of time, Michael was also very considerate of my financial situation by having correspondence through emails as opposed to phone calls or meetings as he did not have to charge as much for an email. Michael often would send me emails on the weekend, showing that he spent time during his non office hours to work on my case. Michael Faith is an extremely skilled, qualified, honest and caring attorney who goes the extra mile for his clients. I don't know what I would have done without Michael's help!

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.
