My wife and I realized that our home somehow wasn't included in the name of our trust. The original work was done by Mr. halls law firm several years ago. As in most things, several laws had changed, making our trust somewhat ineffective. After consulting with Mr. Hall, we decided to completely update the document. We are now up to date with all of federal and state changes in relation to all of our needs. We want to especially thank Mr. Hall and all of his associates that worked on this project. Our home is now included on our property deed in the name of the trust. We highly recommend Mr. Hall and his firm. They also treat you like family, and take the time to discuss all issues in language we could understand. Five stars doesn't seem to be a high enough rating.

I was a client of a very well known reputable estate planning firm in town ( Phoenix) for 6+ years. I sought to have my Trust reviewed after my Mothers passing as we had experienced a number of issues with her Trust. I researched many local attorneys and came across the firm of MHK. I am very happy with the decision to meet with Mr Hall. Mr Hall was immediately able to review my then current Trust and point out major areas of concern!!! I found him to be very knowledgeable. A true blessing for me. I do not know how my family would have been able to overcome the issues they would have been facing if I had not had my Trust reviewed and revised!!! I am so grateful to Mr Hall for his professional help as well as his compassion and understanding.

Marlo was our attorney after a serious auto accident when the responsible party was declining any compensation. She did an amazing job for us. We were both unable to be involved in the process for a long time but that did not stop her from moving forward and tackling this head on.

In addition she's put us in contact with other great attorneys should our need be outside her field - such as an attorney for 1099 contractor law. (We've always been happy with her recommendations) Maria is also a faculty member at our business events and has works with MANY of our customers.

Mr. Koelbel is detail oriented, a perfectionist, extremely knowledgeable about the legal process and what to expect at the end of the process.

My wife filed a petition for a green card for me. We thought that would be no problem as we were married for years and had so much to show, so much in common. Just like on TV movies right? Wrong! The USCIS denied our petitions. Accused my wife of entering into a shame marriage just to get me a green card. We've found Matthew and he worked with us gathering all the facts and evidences, and he wrote a very well elaborate response to USCIS and delivered to them on time.. Today, 30 days from the date we were to respond to them, I've got an email from USCIS. The green card is approved and on its way to my mailbox. This experience has proved to me that no matter how confident we think we are to handle a law issue, we should never underestimate the experienced a lawyer has, having gone through so many cases, and what they can do for you handling your case. Never go alone. Hire a lawyer. Hire Matt if he is available in your area. He won't promise you success.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by attorney Ralph Ellinwood. I was falsely accused of sexually molesting my stepdaughter and faced a potential 30-year prison sentence. From the very beginning, Mr. Ellinwood's dedication and unwavering commitment to my case were apparent. Not only did he provide me with unparalleled legal assistance, but his compassion and support throughout the process were truly remarkable. Despite being treated poorly by child protective services and the prosecutor, Mr. Ellinwood always treated me with dignity and respect as a human being. When the prosecutor offered a plea deal, most attorneys would have jumped at the opportunity. However, Mr. Ellinwood believed that we had a strong case and that we should take it to trial. Even though he could not guarantee a favorable outcome, I knew that he was in my corner and believed in me. After a lengthy process and rejecting several offers, the prosecutors finally dismissed the case. I cannot emphasize enough how crucial Mr. Ellinwood's expertise, dedication, and unwavering support were in achieving this outcome. If you find yourself in a similar situation where your life is on the line, I wholeheartedly recommend attorney Ralph Ellinwood. He is not only an exceptional legal advocate but also a compassionate and understanding human being who will fight tirelessly for your rights.

I have used Mr. Thomae in my real estate business for a number of years, and I find Mr. Thomae to be ethical, smart, and fights for his clients in a smart way. It is evident to me that his first thought is his client, not his billable hours. I have a choice to use any attorney, and I chose to use this professional.

I hired Eric to help me protect an investment property. The whole case took almost a year due to the other party trying to play games but Eric stopped them at every turn. He is impressive and aggressive in the court room but when it came to explaining everything he was patient and kind. Not many companies, or people for that matter do what they say, stand by their word and do the right thing....Eric does that and more! I keep him on speed dial now.

I was so lucky to find Raandi when I moved here 10 years ago. She has handled many real estate transactions for me since that time. She's extremely knowledgeable, honest, straightforward and approachable in all matters of law for which I have needed advice. And as nice as she is, she can be tough as nails if she needs to be. I wouldn't use anyone else .

Although I didn't hire an attorney regarding my legal issue, I certainly would have solicited the services of Raandi Morales had I need further services. She set my mind at ease regarding a banking issue, communicated in layman's terms, and she obviously knows her craft. Consult with Ms. Morales with confidence.

Victoria has provided phenomenonal representation for me. She has guided me through one of the most stressful times of my life. Her passion for elite representation and advocating for special needs children involved in custody cases, shines through and through. She has alleviated worry and stress with her excellent skills in family law. Her willingness to go the extra mile has earned my trust and hopes for my case. My situation is complicated, involving custody matters across state lines. Previously, I've attained numerous lawyers. My frustration and stress mounted with waiting for return calls and preparedness for court. Victoria has responded promptly by calling me back and replying to emails. Also, she is fearless with handling challenges. She is confident in her abilities and it shows. As you know, attempting to navigate the legal system is overwhelming.

I met Victoria at a NAMI meeting and was immediately impressed with her knowledge and ability to present information so it can be easily understood by everyone. Victoria has the natural ability to evaluate information and provide valuable feedback based on needs. She has assisted me by providing legal guidance and assistance for my son who has schizophrenia. My son has struggled with taking his meds and has ended up in jail. She provided amazing support and guidance to help get him placed in a mental health program rather than staying in jail. She also wrote a letter to our HOA supporting the need for my son to stay in our home, when my neighbors wanted him evicted from the neighborhood. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to special needs. Her passion for people and as an attorney comes through in everything she does. I feel very blessed to have met Victoria and would highly recommend her.

Rick came highly recommended and today I had the opportunity to meet him. Yes, he is like no other lawyer I have been to in the last 6 years of litigation on various aspects of the problem. I will retain him this week. I was very impressed with him as a person, his honesty, his office, his knowledge and he seemed to "get it", it is a very confusing and lengthy story. I believe that only comes with years of experience and being good at what you do. Very nice person, I'm sure this will be a positive experience all the way around. I will re-post in a year.

Celia helped me navigate through the dissolution of a business partnership. She is able to see through the "muck" and provide the needed legal support. She is timely, sharp and persistent. And somehow is able to provide a laugh or two, she is serious but doesn't take herself too seriously, and that is refreshing!

I was up against a tight deadline when I called Atty. David Baker for advice and was very pleased that he was able to answer my initial questions about boundary encroachment by email the same day and met with me at his office the following morning to answer the rest of my questions and discuss my options. I found him knowledgeable and to the point. This was my first experience with Atty. Baker and I will call on him if I am in need of a Real Estate Attorney.

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.
