As a retired Criminal Court Judge (18 years) and a licensed attorney in Illinois (32 years) I can unequivocally state that Sean Woods is one of the finest attorneys I have ever encountered in my legal career. Sean represented me in a contractual dispute that I had with a less than reputable contractor when I first relocated to Arizona. He not only resolved my case expeditiously but the result he achieved far exceeded my expectations. His knowledge of the law and the legal strategies he employed were brilliant. Sean Woods is an exceptional lawyer and I highly recommend he and his firm The Law Badgers.

Nancy is a very diligent, patient and knowledgeable attorney. She took the time to always address our concerns with such genuine concern for not only our case, but for our personal well being. She is easy to get ahold of always returning calls and E-mails. Nancy demonstrated exceptional hard working traits constantly following up often to keep us informed.

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Nancy during the period 12/2013 through 8/2014. Nancy served as one of 3 City Attorneys for a local municipality in Central Arizona where I was on assignment at the time. In my role as then Interim Chief Information Officer for that municipality, I relied greatly on the City Attorney’s office to ensure our Information Technology (IT) related contracts with vendors provided the necessary legal protections to the City.
Nancy approached such matters with great detail and thoroughness. She proved to be very knowledgeable in various areas – including IT. Moreover, she was very effective at communicating legal positions to those of us who were not lawyers. She recognized that we required absolute clarity in the legal instruments that we were to undertake with the vendor community, and as such she served us well.
I was very pleased with the level of analysis and counsel offered by Nancy. Additionally, she was one of the most pleasant individuals that I have ever had the pleasure of working with - and I would greatly welcome the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

My father passed away in June 2016 and I was appointed the executor of his estate. I live in Minnesota - and my father owned a condo in Arizona. I needed to find a good lawfirm in Arizona that would work with me over the phone & via email. Brent Gunderson and his team were outstanding.
I worked very closely with Selena in their office and Selena's Customer Service was top notch. She was consistently helpful. When I called to ask her questions for the third time, she was positive and extremely informative (taking the time to walk me through exactly what I needed to do). I was extremely impressed by support I received from everyone in this law firm. They completed paperwork ahead of schedule and were very helpful to me.

Charles is one of the smartest people you'll meet. He knows the law well and is able to draw upon his experience and worldly knowledge in guiding clients. He's always answered my questions thoroughly and in a way that a non-lawyer can understand. Charles has also been able to help me see a comfortable resolution to any issue. He's also personable and is able to contribute to a conversation beyond law. Last but not least, his billing is fair and the hourly rate quite reasonable for an attorney of his experience. I have worked with Charles for most of the years he has been in practice and intend to stick with him for my business needs.

I contacted Afshin to help me settle my debt issues with my creditors. He took a personalized approach to reviewing my financial situation and gave me the best options to move forward. Afshin offered me a free debt analysis and savings estimate to show me where I could save money. He skillfully negotiated with my Collection accounts, Medical bills, Credit cards, and Personal loans to reduce my balances/payments. Afshins professional responsiveness to settling my debt provided me the financial security and the peace of mind I needed. His affordable expert services transformed my debt situation into an organized and fiscal responsible future. Thank you again Afshin.

After I had discussed my case with several attorneys who each advised that they had little confidence that I would prevail litigating the estate issues that I faced, I hired Gary to represent me. He is a consummate professional. While others viewed it an impossible situation, Gary systematically looked at every possible contingency and developed alternative plans supported by his keen understanding of the law. I can't imagine going through a horrible situation without such a competent attorney. Gary is a great advocate; honest, exacting, knowledgeable, and intellectually gifted. A fantastic lawyer!

Gary is an amazing attorney. He was actually referred to my family from a different attorney who does the same work. When the other attorney heard what we were trying to accomplish, he said we needed to call Gary because he is the best and he is absolutely correct! We were able to quickly get a guardian/conservator in place and he certainly turned a very difficult, stressful situation into a manageable one. He got things done with lightening speed as I'm sure this could been a long drawn out expensive case. It says a lot when another attorney will turn down business to refer you to best. You will not go wrong hiring Gary to represent you and we certainly appreciate and thank him for everything he has done.

Dear Sirs: I would like you to know how pleased I was with the legal service supplied to my wife and I during the recent sale of our veterinary business and real estate.

I cannot recommend her highly enough to you.

Margaret approached our family trust (documents) planning understanding we knew little about what we asked for. She was clearly professional and competent, and equally empathetic when talking about executing the trust. Margaret's thoroughness and sensitivity extended to reviewing documents and details with our sons so they'd understand the trust intentions, their roles and be able to clarify questions they had.
Margaret provided the trust plans we initially sought; and a comfort headed forward we hadn't expected, and very much appreciate.

After 28+ years' experience as a licensed real estate agent in the State of Arizona, I found myself involved in an earnest money dispute for the very first time. (I was the buyer). Although the seller/seller’s agent fought bitterly for my $15,000 earnest money, after the receipt of Aaron Green’s formal demand letter the sellers immediately signed the mutual cancellation form and title released my $15,000.
I highly recommend Aaron Green. He is experienced, professional, compassionate, and reasonably price.

Lorenz and Kari were a pleasure to work with. He worked with me on everything in meeting my court room needs even though they were not his normal type of practice. His rates were affordable and he made it convenient to represent my case from the other side of the country (I live in Florida). Their small family operated practice was professional, responsive and easy to talk to. With that being said I hope to never need his services again. ;)

This guy is awesome. He came to my house even though I didn't get off work until 6PM. He explained everything to me until I understood what was going on with my case. He didn't talk down to me and didn't make me feel dumb for not understanding. He's young but he's extremely smart. Very detail oriented and he doesn't let anything get passed him.

I contacted Lorenz for some business law help. Specifically, I had some questions about a contract and NDA that were being drawn up, and I wanted some answers from a local attorney. It was important for me to understand the language of the contract, and there were a few things that weren't quite making sense. Lorenz provided quick responses, and a no-nonsense translation and explanation of the legal language that I was stuck on, as well as great advice on how to move forward. Not only would I contact Lorenz again for legal help, I would also recommend him to anyone in Show Low, Lakeside, or the surrounding areas. He's a local legal expert who's easy to work with.

The one thing I learned early is that you need a team of great people to advise you on getting head in life. For my family, two of those trusted advisers are Paul and Michael Faith.

I have known Attorney Paul Faith for over 30 years since his practice first opened in Avondale.
I have used Paul's legal services over these years for real estate transactions,accident, personal and family law.
You feel secure and confident dealing with Paul because he is extremely knowledgeable especially in complex and arcane real estate matters.
Paul is also a highly ethical lawyer and individual. This aspect is often underrated but together with specialist knowledge ensures that there will be no comebacks. Paul stands behind his product.
Especially pertinent for us West Siders Paul is a walking repository of information on real estate transactions in the West Valley. Ask Paul first because he knows all the who's who in construction and development and the legal and regulatory issues that may have arisen.
Paul is the Deputy Mayor of the City of Litchfield Park and has held various legal counsel or prosecutor roles for quite a few West Valley cities. It is this extensive local background, experience and specialist expertise that I believe sets Paul apart.
Paul is a highly ethical and extremely competent legal professional. If you require development and real estate legal services, Paul is definitely your go to man. If you have other issues Paul would direct you to other members of his legal team. I absolutely believe you will be in good hands with Paul.

As a side note, with any of these matters, the knowledge that Mr. Threet provided of all of the aspects of these legal matters was beyond comparison.
This knowledge, and the personal care and thoughtfulness that was provided during our meetings, gave me the confidence that the matters will be handled with the highest level of professionalism and skill.

I was referred to Corey Foley, by another attorney and a family member. I lost my mother in January and inherited her property. Needless to say her lenders were not cooperating with my requests and turning an already stressful and devastating situation into a nightmare. From the moment I spoke with Corey, he put my mind at ease. During his representation, he was compassionate and thorough and took a huge burden off of my already full plate. I can't say enough great things about him and will continue to refer other people to him. Very grateful for his representation

Everyone in the office from the attorneys to the ancillary staff are stellar. I have always been recognized by name right when I walk in. (Only office to ever do so) There is absolutely no attitude, it's almost like visiting with a friend (and I do consider them friends after the way I have been treated.) Mr. Buntrock (and his assoc) are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I have used them for several areas of law, and will continue to, because of their outcomes, but also because they treat you with true compassion and concern. Recommend without reservation!

After meeting with several bankruptcy attorneys, my wife felt that most were either unprepared or willing to throw anything at the courts in hopes to see what sticks. Ben was exceptionally honest, knowledgeable, and straight forward. We knew that he would be honest and would not do anything unethical to jeopardize our case. Him and Celeste have been exceedingly friendly and helpful. They made what a difficult time much more bearable by explaining the overall process, what to expect and when.
Although I won't be filing for bankruptcy again, I would hire Ben in a heartbeat if I had to choose again.

I met Ben Skinner at a Real Estate Lunch and learn at my broker’s office. This attorney knows his stuff. Whenever I have an agent question whether it is on commission, disclosure, contracts, liability, etc, Ben always has the answer. Love working with him! I even had him review the documents when my husband and recently bought a new home. His fees are very reasonable and unlike most attorneys he is very efficient with his time!
I have also referred friends and family to him for bankruptcy matters. He has helped each of them navigate the bankruptcy process with support and consideration. His team and him really understand the emotional side of bankruptcy.

Nancy was a life saver when our lives got turned upside down in a ugly real estate battle with a mentally unstable, unethical, crazy woman and her family. I don’t know what we would’ve done if we didn’t have Nancy! We are so grateful to have had her on our side while we went through this terrible situation.
It starts with my husband and I driving through our neighborhood in seeing the most adorable house with a “FOR SALE” sign in the front yard. We love it. We make an offer on it. They except it. We put our current house up for rent, we find a tenant she signs a lease agreement, she’s packing her bags getting ready to move in. We are about 2 1/2 weeks into the escrow process, we receive message from the sellers real estate agent that our seller has decided she doesn’t want to sell her house anymore. Yes, we know that real estate contract is a legally binding contract. Seems like she has to go through with it… Thing is, she simply will not cooperate now. Her mother gets involved calls our loan officer threatens him. The home appraiser needs access into the house, they won’t allow him access. They won’t reschedule. And they won’t give a reason for backing out. And we wanted to be agreeable, we’re reasonable people, but now we have nowhere to live we have already put our other house up for rent the only option for us was to hire an attorney. We end up hiring Nancy, and even though these people are crazy and unreasonable and become nasty she works it out! and we get our “dream house” after all.

Ms. Rubin has helped me with numerous legal issues, and I cannot say enough positive things about her services.
She handled a car accident that I was involved in (accident was the other drivers' fault) and the outcome could not have been better - I not only got all the money to buy a new car but also my entire insurance deductible back!
She handled my contract negotiations when the small, family-owned business that I work for was bought out by a major national corporation, and again helped me achieve a terrific outcome (she went head to head with this large company's entire legal TEAM to get me a fair compensation package).
Ms. Rubin is highly skilled in everything to do with the law it seems. She made herself available to me and continuously went above and beyond. I still call her any time I have a legal question of any kind, and she is always able to give me the answers and advice I need. If you need an attorney - for ANYTHING - this is the one to call.

Collette Nicole Pelcic is a GREAT LAWYER! She is a fair and compassionate lawyer who takes her duties to represent you strongly. She works hard to achieve the best outcome.

- 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.

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.

- 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.

Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer
Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with businesses like mine?
Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry. -
What services do you offer?
Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution. -
What are your fees, and how do you bill?
Get clarity on how you'll be charged - whether by the hour, flat fee, or retainer. -
How do you handle conflicts of interest?
Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business. -
Can you provide references from other business clients?
Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism. -
Do you have experience in my specific industry?
Industry-specific knowledge can be crucial, especially in highly regulated fields like healthcare or finance.
How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is in good standing and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
- Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
- Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.
- A list of legal issues or concerns: Be ready to discuss any potential legal challenges, such as regulatory compliance, disputes, or transactions.
- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
- Questions about fees and billing: Ensure you understand the lawyer’s payment structure and fees upfront.
By preparing these materials, you can ensure that your first meeting with a business lawyer is productive and informative.
