Taylor and the rest of the team at May Potenza Baran & Gillespie were absolutely great to work with! They helped us with the sale of a business and lease negotiations. Throughout the process they listened to what we had to say and provided guidance on matters we were unfamiliar with. We always felt they represented our best interests and they never pushed us to accept terms from the other party we weren't comfortable with. Having them in our corner helped relieve some of the burden of an otherwise very stressful process. They were also quick to jump in at the last minute and take over a matter they hadn't previously been involved with to help get the deals done. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They are professional, friendly, and well-qualified!

Jerry's expertise and assistance with an "environmentally challenged" development site was invaluable. He was able to effectively navigate the process involved in obtaining a Prospective Purchaser Agreement (PPA) from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). This agreement was instrumental in our ability to mitigate the risk associated with purchasing and developing the site. His involvement with other aspects of the site's environmental condition and the associated responsible party was critical Jerry is competent and personable - two traits not always found in legal council. I'm looking forward to working with him again.

I have been working with Morgan quite a bit over the past year with my business and he has been fantastic. One thing that really distinguishes him from other lawyers that I've dealt with is not only his professionalism and expertise, but his personable manner in which he conducts business with you. He has been great working WITH me and what I needed both from my perspective as well as his perspective and we worked together to put something together that was exactly what I was looking for and needed. Even more importantly, Morgan is fair when it comes to what he actually needs to do for you versus what you don't actually need him for. He isn't just out to bill you for as many hours as he can or add on as many services as he can. He actually will ensure that he treats you fairly for what you actually need. I have come back to Morgan time and time again and for things that were outside of his area of expertise he has some great referrals to be able to connect you with. I have referred him personally to friends who have needed similar help and would gladly continue to send people his way. I know I will have more work to do with Morgan and I look forward to the continued professional service and excellent work that he has performed and I highly recommend him to others looking for a fantastic lawyer to work with!

Morgan Seegmiller assisted me with collecting money damages from a breach of contract. Although I was skeptical at first, he knew all the issues involved in my case and he was right on in his predictions of the outcome. Morgan resolved my whole case without ever having to file a lawsuit. He convinced the other party to pay me what I needed and he kept my legal bill low by working efficiently. I highly recommend trusting Morgan Seegmiller with your legal disputes.

Never really trusted lawyers, and I thought they were all a bunch of double talkers, out for themselves...well that is until I met David. He has worked so closely, and so compassionately with my wife and I to help us through a series of civil litigation problems, that he feels like family. Now I know what my father meant when he would say, “Every family should have a good mechanic, doctor, and lawyer!" Well our family has David, that’s for sure. We know God has blessed us with this man in our lives. If you want a litigator who will listen, truly listen to you, and actually care about you and your outcome, and then will roll up his sleeves and get to working and fighting hard for your case, look no further than David. He’s the Man! Wow, can’t say enough!

I was referred to Boreale Law Office by my divorce attorney. Having never met in person before working together I did not expect to be as cared after, listened to, and so exceptionally guided through my very sticky & personal eviction as I did working with Samit. This already difficult situation was made a lot more difficult by the restrictions of the current Covid 19 guidelines. I was lost, confused and I lacked the knowledge and confidence I could maneuver through this tricky process successfully on my own. I was spoken to with dignity, kindness and respect. I was kept involved and up to speed on my case or communications consistently. I was involved in ideas, informed and educated on all the new restrictions and guidelines in a very professional yet “this is new to us too” way. Handling this the way he did made me feel secure in my decision to work with Samit. He never lacked the confidence that he knew the answer or the willingness to involve other capable minds to help me get the job done. Even when all of the CDC and Covid restrictions being new to everyone involved in the process, I felt nothing but professional confidence that He would find the answers, do the work, and represent myself and my family name exactly as I would have hoped for. I was awarded everything I was asking for in my case and couldn’t be more thrilled! I can say with confidence that I would have had very different results if it not for the talented Mr. Samit Bhalala and the Boreale team!

My wife and I selected Samit from a list of attorneys recommended by Hyatt Legal Services, which we subscribe to. He did not disappoint. Although our trust restatement was unique and somewhat complicated, Samit was fine with it. He scheduled a videoconference (this was early on in the pandemic) and we went through what we were interested in doing and why. After a short time, Samit came back with a set of draft documents for our review. We responded with a list of questions, referencing each question by document/paragraph number. We held a second videoconference to discuss the questions. Samit explained all the legalese with practiced skill and patience so that we understood. We discussed changes we were interested in and we each made a list of changes for him to work on. A second draft soon ensued. This time, since so little was off, we were able to make edits directly to the document. He compared the submitted docs with what he sent us, approved the changes, and we had a final set of document and a restated living trust. We met with Samit and a notary public to execute all the documents. And with that, we could finally relax. Samit was a pleasure to work with. At one point, as our trust desires were complex, I told him that, if what he was getting from Hyatt was not enough, we would gladly add whatever he thought appropriate. He declined, saying that he was being fairly compensated. We were shocked, since the last time we went through this process, our previous lawyer demanded additional payment. We feel this says a lot about Samit's approach - he is our advocate first and foremost. In short, the whole process was painless and the new set of documents are well done. We were not expecting the professionalism, humor, and general likeability in a lawyer. It was an unexpected surprise. We highly recommend Samit Bhalala.

We were completely pleased with the work that Mae Innabi did for use regarding the recent sale of our mother's condominium in Phoenix. She worked with us to successfully create a sales agreement and get the transaction closed in a very short period of time. Mae was extremely attentive to our needs and kept us well apprised of what was happening each step of the way. Adding to this is that we (the sellers) were in Illinois and California. It was no issue at all for Mae to work with us remotely to complete the task. Mae was able to make what could have been a very stressful process simple, clear and easy for us. Thank you so much for your help, our family deeply appreciates it.

After an illegal eviction attempt by my apartment complex, my daughter and I needed to just TALK to a lawyer about options moving forward. NO ONE, of a dozen Phoenix attorneys, would even return our calls or emails. This effort began back in October 2018, BEFORE this issue mushroomed in a very disturbing situation. We couldn’t get anyone to LISTEN long enough to retain them for a court hearing. Fortunately, I was able to get the case dismissed myself. But we still wanted the advice of a member of the bar. Ms. Innabi’s office not only LISTENED to me in my initial phone call, she scheduled a free 20 minute phone consult for the next business day. Throughout the weekend, I received confirming emails from her office which enabled me to dial down my stress level which has been overboard since October! Ms. Innabi took time out of her busy day to listen AND recommend a colleague whom specialized in the area of law that I was involved. Her clients are primarily landlords, therefore, under normal circumstances, representing me would be a conflict of interest. My issue is actual civil litigation which is not what she handles. Yet she was kind enough to listen and guide me to the right law office. I would have gladly PAID Ms. Innabi for her free advice. A plethora of other so-called Phoenix lawyers wouldn’t even take my money for a 15 minute consultation! I just hope they keep being “Ballers” for the rest of their career that can turn down FREE MONEY! Ms. Innabi exhibits the rare traits of professionalism and integrity which is sorely lacking among the Phoenix legal community. Thank you to Mae Innabi and her outstanding staff!

My issue was going to cost $2500-3000 or more, but Hirschi Law’s expertise probably saved me a couple of thousand dollars! So I was well pleased. I liked Heath’s no muss, no fuss approach.

We had a major investigation of our IDTF diagnostic facilities and one of our shareholders, a physician, faced board complaints in every state he was licensed in. It was grueling and extremely stressful. D’Arcy was recommended by another attorney and we are thankful we were able to retain her. She coordinated and oversaw all of the out of state matters that required local counsel, handled the federal matters including experts. She helped us resolve the case with minimal repercussions and managed to obtain dismissals on all of the board complaints. She was sensitive to our stress level and on one hand was extremely compassionate with us and on the other - relentless with the opposition. We now recommend her to everyone and use her for our compliance and litigation matters. She prevents us from unknowingly getting into trouble.

She has subsequently assisted me with other matters, such as starting my own business, applying for PPP Loans during the pandemic, and purchasing my first home. She is very capable, and is able to tackle any problem I present to her. After talking to her about legal matters that are stressing me out, I immediately feel less anxiety.

My wife and I were referred to Mark by a realtor and originally consulted with him on several occasions over the past several years concerning our rental property. We were considering letting the property go into foreclosure for a number of personal reasons. He gave us clear options for us to make an informed decision on how to proceed. We decided to stop payment on the house and let it go into foreclosure. During this process, we consulted with him again to get some clarity on issues we had with the process and he answered all questions and explained in terms that we understood how to continue. The process has taken over 2 years total, and at the beginning of this year (2017), we were served with papers from the bank that a dispute over the description of the property was in question. At this point, we hired Mark to assist with the legal aspect of the banks filing. In what seemed like a complicated issue, Mark was able to settle the issue with the bank and get us out from under the legal aspect of the case. I found Mark to be very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in our consultations and easy to work with. He exceeded all of our expectations in the final out come of our situation.

I hired Mark to collect a debt owed to me. Mark went over my situation, answered my questions and explained the complete process prior to hiring him to be my lawyer. Mark methodically briefed me and kept me fully informed during the whole progression of my lawsuit and case. It was a pleasure working with Mark to resolve my claim against the people that owed money to me on a past due debt. Mark worked with me to recover this debt and worked on a fair settlement with the defendants before the case when to a trial. Unfortunately the defendants were not reasonable and the case had to be resolved by the court. Mark obtained a default judgement for me that included my legal fees and interest on the unpaid debt. I would hire Mark again as he was very straight with me through the entire progression of my case. His entire office staff was polite and pleasant to work with. I consider Mark to have utmost integrity and a being that makes him an excellent attorney. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my lawsuit. My thanks goes to Mark Heckele.

He was very thorough in the ways i needed to protect myself in the future and appreciate that he has been dealing with the construction industry in the past. Money well spent now than lots more later! Thank you Andrew!

Where do I even begin.... I was actually referred to Mike Pettiti by another law firm when trying to inquire on the legality of a unilateral change to my company's existing PTO policy. Upon contacting the office of Aiken Schenk Hawkins & Ricciardi to speak with Mike, I was transferred to Erin Hertzog who I informed of the concern that I had with my company and if it in fact violated any Arizona employment laws. She was an absolute pleasure, very thorough, asked several questions and obtained details surrounding my situation to see what legal options, if any, I had moving forward. A few days later, my employer found out that I had consulted with an attorney and subsequently, I was sent home from work and then terminated the following day. The 10 months that would follow my termination were an absolute nightmare. Murphy's Law, anything that could have gone wrong, did. I was a single mother facing being homeless after an eviction and repossession of my vehicle, all due to my loss of employment. In addition to my financial struggles, I was in the middle of a horrific legal matter in family court surrounding custody of my child. Erin was one of few silver linings that I had throughout this hard time in my life, an absolute Godsend! Through the duration of my case, Erin and Mike went back and forth with claims through the EEOC for sexual harassment and gender discrimination and claims with the NLRB for wrongful termination and retaliation. This woman literally put in her blood, sweat, and tears into resolving my legal matters with my previous employer. She accommodated my schedule, making herself available in late evening hours, no email or phone call went without response. She worked around the clock to ensure that my questions were answered and I was informed and updated on the progress of my case. Nearly 10 months later, to the day, I am happy to say that Erin and her Firm were able to reach a settlement with my previous employer and I can finally put all this behind me. I pray that I never find myself in a similar situation with a future employer but, if I do, I can rest assured that I will be in good hands with Erin Hertzog and the staff at Aiken Schenk Hawkins & Ricciardi. She is an absolutely amazing attorney and the integrity of both her and the Firm, far exceeded my expectations!

I have worked with dozens of attorneys due to the nature of previous jobs and due to personal reasons, and no one compares to Amanda. She's compassionate, knowledgable, and responds to questions in a timely manner. She doesn't only answer your questions and provides guidance, but she also empathizes with you and supports you throughout the stress that comes with navigating the court system. Having her advocate for me in a criminal case was a true blessing.

I first heard Mat Sorensen do an IRA LLC web presentation on Youtube for a custodian company. I like what he had to say and how he said it, he was very clear and sounded very well informed on the issue. I don’t know why I didn’t just call him right away to see if he would help me form my IRA LLC, maybe because he was not in my state?..Maybe because I thought he would be too busy? to expensive??? I don’t know what my problem was but I called 5 different lawyers all who didn’t seem like they had the same level of expertise Mat did. As my frustration grew so did my courage. I finally figured... what did I have to lose? Just call the guy I heard on Youtube! So I did. WOW! He knocked my socks off even more on the phone. He answered all my hard questions about forming an IRA LLC while living abroad and didn’t need to go on and on trying to impress me with his knowledge like some of the other lawyers. His friendly, clear, concise answers spoke for themselves. After I decided to go with Mat and KKOS I have been unbelievably happy with their level of service. The entire team is sweet, friendly, educated and helpful. They ALL seem like they know me when I call and always treat me with kindness and respect. Mat will even joke with me, a total stranger! He has a great sense of humor and not to busy for a quick reply to say thanks. He is humble, funny and generous. Not at all what I expected to be honest. :) The clarity of his instructions while setting up the IRA LLC was unparalleled. He would send me emails as to what he and his team would do and what I would need to do. Every time I came to a stumbling block I would call the team and instantly they would help me overcome the hurdle. Even when I reached out to Mat he helped me while not making me feel stupid for asking silly questions. Well, I could go on and on but I will not. Suffice it to say Mat and his team are GREAT and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs to form an IRA LLC regardless of which state you live in.

Just awesome services and team all around. We used his services for both an LLC formation but also a tradename/DBA filling. Performed all the due diligence you'd except and at a very fair rate compared to all of the potential competitors. Would highly recommend if you're in the market for a first time or new business attorney.

I first met Yaser Ali when I attended his seminar on wills and trusts in classical Islamic inheritance law at our local center ICNEV. The presentation was excellent, and I came away understanding the importance of trusts, how to fulfill my religious obligations, and leave a legacy after my death through Islamic estate planning. After our first son was born, we decided to contact Yaser Ali Law Firm to prepare our trust. His quality of work, professionalism and knowledge in designing religiously compliant estate plans made us feel very comfortable and we are pleased with our decision to use this law firm. We highly recommend Yaser Ali Law Firm.

I needed help in preparing a trust & will that would allow me to fulfill my religious obligations towards my future inheritors, and I needed it in a rather short timeline. Yaser was able to get it done, and address all my (sometimes rather specific or obscure) questions and concerns with patience and thoughtful answers. He will be my top recommendation for similar services to all my friends and community members.

He was good at communicating what information was needed and following up for me. Never once was I made to feel ashamed of the whole process, which I was. I would recommend him without reservation.

Mark Worischeck has been and remains the most skilled, knowledgable and client-focused attorney that my company has retained. He understands our business and is always thinking of ways to mitigate our exposure and costs. Whereas other attorneys often grind through the litigation process, Mark develops and executes creative and cost-effective ways to resolve disputes. His responsiveness is unparalleled. This is key for any client, particularly in-house counsel, and Mark knows it. I always know exactly what is going on in matters he is handling for our company. He also delegates work in appropriate circumstances to other experienced and talented attorneys in his firm.

I am a commercial truck driver and Vaughan immediately knew how important it was for me to fight this ticket, where other attorneys I consulted in this matter did not. Not only did he completely understand my situation without my having to explain, he then represented me in court where he prevailed. Vaughan’s fees were extremely fair and he’s a very pleasant person to work with. Overall an outstanding experience.

I want to express my overwhelming appreciation for the work ethic and integrity of Mr. Winborne, and his entire firm. First, his office was very responsive to our initial call. We had emails and calls answered within hours, not days or weeks like many others we tried to work with. His retainer was fair, and MUCH lower than others who offered assistance. His legal advice was clear and knowledgeable. And then when the case was resolved in our favor, he actually returned the balance of the retainer! I cannot say enough about how pleased I was with his work.

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

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.
