Andrew and his team are very professional. He came highly recommended by several top doctors in Arizona. His team was very thorough and gives you a great estate planning product in the end. This is his area of expertise and you don't have to have millions to get a well planned estate. Great attorney who knows trust and wills!

I had been in communication with Andrew regarding an issue and we spoke on the phone and exchanged several emails about the next steps. Then he stopped communicating, all together. I reached out multiple times and he failed to call me back. Very unprofessional. I have MetLife Legal Plans in which they will pay upon completion, if that was going to be a problem for Andrew, he never indicated that to begin with.

My wife and I hired Adam for an equine fraud case and were extremely disappointed in the entire experience. He originally led us to believe our case was stronger than he later admitted it was and this led to us hiring him. We spent over 13,000 to get no money back because he really doesn’t have very good negotiating skills. The fee padding was so over the top he had another attorney being billed and his paralegal as well to the tune of so many hours more than is reasonable or necessary and we would never ever use Adam or this firm again.

I have used Adam Trenk as my personal lawyer for years. Also after I used him with such personal success my boss whom is an NFL player also uses him. He is very professional and always available. Even when all the law jargon can get confusing and overwhelming he took the time to make sure I understood everything....saving me thousands of dollars. I would highly recommend Adam Trenk for any legal advice.

My experience with Ms. Reynolds was completely a fairytale. She promised to do several things for my case, and consumed a lot of my time and resources waiting for her to complete fulfill her promises. Some as simple as sending an email. In the end, she did nothing she promised delaying my ability to find an honest, ethical and morally sound an attorney. Save yourself time and resources and stay away from het.

Prior to contacting Mr. Reynolds, I tried to contact a few other attorneys. They would not give me the time of day on a issue, probably minor to them, evidently, but important to me. Ms. Reynolds took the time to listen and respond promptly. Not only was she professional but it also showed that she has a great heart. I will have no hesitation in recommending Ms. Reynolds to anyone seeking legal help in her area of specialization.

I trusted this attorney because he TOLD me he knew what he was doing. He told me that I was right, and that my case had merit. I asked multiple times for an explanation of WHY he thought this would go to superior court in my favor and I never received an answer. The judge ruled, I lost. Still, no return call from Patrick. I thhink he presented himself as too experienced, and therefore I trusted him for my case. He should have told me he knew very little about how the superior court worked. I did almost all of the paperwork myself. My papers were to be delivered to my daughter. He mailed them certified, she never got them---she isn;t stupd, she wasn't going to the post office and sign for the legal papers she knew were coming. I PAID a process server. The only communication I have received lately was a few days ago---"the billing cycle is ending, are you going to pay?" no comment about my request. I sent my check out that day to the adress listed online for the office. It came back to my home saying "NO business at this address. I cannot figure him out. I am not a confrontational woman, I wish he would have told me at the start that he was inexperienced and I should look elsewhere, I now need that money to do what my next step is--AT THE SELF HELP DESK WHERE I KNOW THINGS WILL GET DONE. So very unfair. I trusted him.

Hired this attorney for 3 cases were charged a flat rate to represent all 3 cases. The 1st case he lost, which was to remove a 3rd party restraining order. Representation was poor, inadequate. Only met with attorney once and we had to provide all information and do all the research and run around collecting paperwork ourselves bringing them back and forth to his office. After realizing he was not going to be able to proceed with sufficient knowledge and skills, we hired a attorney out of town. Asked for refund on the 2 other cases we paid for which his office denied to refund when he did not represent or do any work other than file to postpone date.

I have hired Mr. Dergo on multiple occasions to provide and review documents for my business. As an entrepreneur one needs to have sound legal documents for protection and to conduct business. Further, when entering into contracts, you definitely need a lawyer looking out for one's interests. Michael Dergo has provided me with excellent products and reviews for many years. He's a trusted partner I can always count on to protect my business interests. He's highly knowledgeable, ethical and his fees were refreshingly reasonable (as lawyer prices go)!

He boosts of his law offices and most are offices of his clients including a collections agency in Illinois. Coincidence ????? Within 30 days of his deceitful testimony against a client he petitioned the Court to terminate or modify his probation. Reward???? In my limited research of this guy, all he does in loose.

Bob and his partner were very nice, courteous and their intentions were genuine. The reason this is not a great rating is because unfortunately he and his partner on my case did not effectively understand or know what my options were. I continued to pursue my dispute and found out at the end the strategy we put into place was useless because of a miscalculation on their end. I will say they were attentive and professional, just a little light on overall knowledge of the area of law I needed help with. They came highly recommended, so very much worth a consultation over the phone and you can make your own decision.

I am an Arizona small business owner and have known Bob Itri for 14 years. Initially, I retained his service on a personal matter and he was able to settle the matter quickly without the need for litigation and obtained a very favorable result. Since that initial representation, I have used him exclusively in various business endeavors where representation and advice have been necessary. Bob is a very knowledgeable, trustworthy individual and attorney and has provided me with excellent service with outstanding results. I would highly recommend Bob, and have referred several business associates over the years.

I did not hire the attorney only had a phone conversation. I do not reside in AZ but was told that I needed to hire an attorney in order to obtain an Affidavit of Succession in order to sell the property I inherited. I called her office and asked how much the service would cost me and was told eighteen fifty plus required filing fees.(approx $235) I said eighteen fifty??....do you mean to say One thousand eight hundred fifty dollars?? She said yes. Please be advised that it is probably less than one hour worth of work for her. $1,850??? Seriously!!? Please beware!!!!! Another attorney called me back today and confirmed that this is about 1 hr worth of work and he charges $300 for that service. Although, I know that one needs to hire an attorney for some things, I was able to obtain my above stated Affidavit w/o an attorney. The ladies at the Pima County Supreme Court/probate/trial department are super nice and super helpful. It only cost me my $235 filing fees plus my FedEx $24. I gave her 2 stars because she was nice on the phone. Please beware!! Will take you for your money!!!

Words cannot describe my gratitude to Mr. Charles Runyan of Integrity Patent Group, PLC for the outstanding work done on my second patent. It is because of Mr. Charles Runyan and his legal team that I have been granted my second patent. Years ago, I hired a patent attorney to draft and submit my first patent application. The attorney accepted payment and was negligent in drafting and submitting the patent documents. As a result of their negligence, my patent rights to my first invention are limited. I am relieved that my search for a capable, experienced, honest and reasonable patent attorney is over. I am a client of the Integrity Patent Group, PLC, for as long as Mr. Runyan allows me to be.

Charles -- was given my business via a merger. Along with filing the final phases to getting my patent approved, Charles was told to als file the "CIP"...(continuation in part). Charles did not do that on a patent that I waited 7 years for. So now he passed me off to another patent attorney (he has worked with) -- to handle the process moving forward. I'm told he is paying him to revive a CIP and file a new patent. He has never apologized or taken responsibility. This was not the character of a true businessman or professional..

Hired Marc by default only to be insulted and and treated very rudely. After going to work he continued to increase his fees and insults he worked harder in finding ways to charge me more then he would on my case. He would only return my calls when he felt like it. I would give him the information he requested only for him to confuse and mix-up the information then complain about having to do the work. finally imputing your information given to him incorrectly and charging me almost double what I was originally quoted. yet he complained about everything. Then after charging me double and making the entire event more difficult he quit halfway through and charged me a highly inflated amount. I still had to hire another attorney to finish the case and do damage control. Do yourself a favor and hire a competent attorney one that doesn’t blame you for all of his mistakes.

Failed to do the most BASIC and vital requirement for an attorney to do and cost me FOUR YEARS of time and wasted money for this. WHAT attorney does not do a certificate of service for court documents to prove it was served on the other party timely??? THEN when put to the task of proving to the court, right before trial, he provides a half a** buisness record BUT NO signed affidavit from the person who mailed and filed the court papers to prove it was delivered timely. Having my perfectly good claim barred after FOUR YEARS of work on it only to be dismissed for his failure. This was apparently not the ONLY time he did this in my case which allowed the Judge to not accept his credibility alone with just a business record as proof and no affidavit. Not organized at all, failed to notify when canceling appointments, did not communicate about conference hearings scheduled or what issue it was regarding, kept having to resubmit documents, constantly a month or more late for scheduled due dates the court set for discovery, minimal work done at last minute, failed to disclose Expert Witness and provide a copy of the report to opposing AT ALL!! There is just too much to tell that I didnt know about because he failed to say anything to me which I had to find out about in opposings response they filed which I had to practically hound his office staff to send to me. Thats another thing, my new attorney that HE recommended to me had to call for my case file repeatedly and NEVER got a complete copy sent to this day, is riduculous. Sloppy and unprofessional work and pray he never does it again to anyone else specially when it is so emotionally charged because it involves a deceased loved one. His response to the judges decision.....Thats disappointing to hear. No YOU are disappointing Mr. Melo, the decision was tragic because it should have been an easy case for me to have justice against a thief but your sloppy work caused me to suffer more and a fraud to get away with it. I say a fraud because later, the opposing party went on to admit in another court case that they lied about my claim never being mailed to them timely and that they did receive it but never opened it and blamed their attorney for not telling them to open it and read it. No justice. Find another attorney people.

I called this guy to see about writing up a contract for deed as the buyer. Unfortunately, the seller backed out. As I consulted with Mr. Pruett, he took the time to ask questions about my life. He was patient and kind. Everything that he was thinking about (such as trust, etc.), we had already done. He affirmed that we were on good ground and, while concerned about us being covered in our case, was never pushy. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy. On an additional note, I am appreciative that some lawyers know what some lawyers know. I can't tell them strategy, timing, or anything else. Unfortunately, I have been around the block with lawyers. What I can say is, find an attorney you can trust and then trust them. I believe I can trust Mr. Pruett.

He wasted my time on a personal injury case. He was charming at first, he wanted my case and he wanted me to be loyal to him, so I was. He kept asking for more information which I provided and he kept putting me off. After several weeks of this, he said he did not want my case. He did not call to tell me. I had to call him to find this out. When I asked him why, he said I had a great case, but his partners decided because I did not want them to call my other attorney who charges me by the hour, and because I wanted to get answers for them, I am the type of person who will want to micro manage things too much. They must have something to hide if they don't want customers too involved.

I was forced to use Craig Irish as part of a group of investors and despite winning the case, I can say he is one of the worst lawyers and people I have ever dealt, even those I've gone against. I will say Mr. Irish has a decent grasp of the law, however that is where his skills as a lawyer worth hiring end. His temperament is so bad, I was often forced to yell at Irish to stop screaming during otherwise civil settlement discussions of a very large (9mm) case. He is so focused on being right, he ignores the nuances required to navigate a complex negotiation which had I not been involved would have unquestionably led to prolonged litigation instead of an acceptable settlement. Irish is also predisposed to yelling and screaming in court, which in my opinion only hurt our credibility with the judge. Furthermore, it is my opinion he is unethical, disorganized, unprepared, untimely and generally not someone you want representing you in an important legal matter. He may be qualified drafting simple contracts, but if you require more than that or are engaged in a matter that will require court appearances by your attorney, I would avoid Craig Irish at all costs.

I hired this attorney in 2013 to help with my bankruptcy case. At the time I was going through a lot of difficult and stressful matters. I had told her that I only has my personal home left and that I wanted to know if it was protected by this bankruptcy. She said yes and not to worry. Now today is 2022, 9 yrs later I found out that one of the creditor had placed a lien on my home prior to the bankruptcy. So she did not do her due diligence on my property back then. When I called to help to get this lien off my properties, now I owned two homes. She told me that she is unable to help because she claimed that it is a new matter. She asked me to obtain another bankruptcy attorney. When I went to meet with another attorney he said that she should have taken it and reopen the case and then file a complaint and request it to be removed. As an attorney she need and should have stood by her work instead she turned away from the problem that she should have avoided in 2013. I do not recommend this attorney to anyone because she has no integrity and accountability for her workmanship.

This law firm is a joke. Exorbitant fees and poor service. I am still dealing with the aftermath of the mess caused by them and their poor advice/actions. After years of dealing with them I fired them. Perhaps the addition of Benesch will help.

My grandmother passed away and Trevor White became the executor. I am an heir and was left quite a few things. Trevor White tried to say that items were not left to me and even sent me an email saying that he thought I only wanted those items for my parents, which wasn't true. As an executor, I didn't think it was any of his business what I did with items left to me. I could have chopped them up and burned them and it still wouldn't be any of his business. My grandmother left them to me, not Trevor White. He seems very arrogant and doesn't seem to like to be questioned. I don't trust the guy and I would never hire him for anything.

When I first met with Mr.Coronado I told him I needed someone that would go to bat and fight for me and my son. He did nothing less. Divorce, custody, and severence. All three fought and all three won. I would highly recommend this law firm for their fierceness, kindness and understanding. 100/100

I had a difficult and emotional situation and at our initial consultation, she was confident and it seemed like she would be a great advocate for me. After hiring her, she was never available, and her assistant was the only person in communication. This person advised me and when I questioned, shared my concerns, or asked for the attorney I hired, the assistant wouldn't put me through or I wouldn't get responses from my attorney, and she was condescending. The attorney was never available until just before a court hearing and she was always dismissive of my concerns. She acquiesced to the other side repeatedly, and I would leave feeling confused and further hurt by the situation. At the end, she sent me an exorbitant bill for minimal work done that was shocking. Her results were not only the opposite of what I expected but also terribly disheartening and not fair in my situation.

Ms Harris is the worst lawyer you can hire. Once she is hired, she will dodge your calls and have you work solely with Pam, her abusive paralegal that only cares about her dogs. Lynn Harris is fantastic at making false promises and manipulating you to hire her. She will tell you that she will fight like a bulldog for you in court and do the exact opposite. She definitely knows how to throw a show to make you feel like she has your back, unfortunately, it’s only a show to get your money. She told me she’d fight for me. Instead, she collaborated with the opposing council against me, and later dropped me as a client! By the end of my dealings with Mrs. Harris, she did nothing she said she would do in regards to my case; besides BILL ME! ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!

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.
