As a financial planner who has worked with many different estate planning attorneys, I was blown away by the team at Strauss. I just left a funding meeting with Peter McGuire and was thoroughly impressed with how easy and comfortable the process was for my clients. The team is responsive, approachable, and easy to talk to. They took extra time to make sure the documents will be implemented appropriately and that the financial planning team is well informed of the decisions and next steps. This truly creates the best outcome for our shared clients. Kudos to them.

A friend and I were falsely accused, and from the second we met Dustin, the case was smooth-sailing, he exercises incredible professionalism and maturity. The situation was resolved with minimal stress and little effort from my end. Dustin had a sizeable role to play in saving my future and I couldn't recommend him more.

Amita Peltz was the perfect choice to handle my will and other related legal documents. She was thorough and very helpful with my various questions. I have also used Sarah Bowman for real estate closings. She has always been the one that dug deep for areas that many closing attorneys might have missed or bypassed. Worley & Peltz are my go-to attorneys. You owe it to yourself for them to be yours as well.

I have been a client of Worley & Peltz for several years and I am always extremely satisfied with their expertise. Amita drew up my last will and I know that she gave me great advice when I didn't even know what I wanted to do. She is so very patient and understanding. Jason has worked with me on commercial real estate and that has been a wonderful experience, as well.

I had my will and trust redone in 2021 with Chris Craig. This experience was adequate. But when I wanted to make some fairly basic changes (changing beneficiaries) to the will/trust this year in 2024, Chris wanted to charge me more than the initial set up of my will and trust (thousands of dollars to make edits to the will and trust that would have taken me an hour if only it was legal for me to edit the documents in Word).
When I questioned such exorbitant charges for such simple revisions he fired me as a client. Now I'm stuck with a will/trust that does not reflect my wishes. I'm shopping for a new attorney who I can trust not to extort me for simple changes.

Probably a good lawyer. But DO NOT pay in advance. We did and did not hear from again. To be fair it was in the Covid period, but still.

Unfortunately I did not get to meet Chris…I was to have a meeting via zoom with an elderly friend that was in dire need of a Will. We were to meet Chris to discuss our needs. However, the form I had been emailed was asking for intense info that would have taken me several days to obtain. To paraphrase, I obviously was not refunded 250.00 but didn’t get to have consultation either. Most definitely was not impressed with Paralegal…very defensive attitude!

The last three years of my life have been the worst I've ever experienced. My mom died of cancer, a month later my wife left me and my brother was murdered all within under a year. I fell in a dark deep depression which I almost didn't make it out of and at the time of my depression my house got foreclosed on. I got a letter in the mail saying I needed a lawyer to try to get back some of the funds for the house. I reached out to Mr. Bailey for guidance. He stepped out of his comfort zone, which is criminal defense to help me get my life back. He kept great communication and helped me understand the process. Even during one of the worst hurricanes we've ever seen here in our mountains he kept communication with me while having no electricity, water or cell service at his residence. Anytime I met with him at his office I felt like family and I felt like the help I was getting was extremely sincere. It's scary out there And it's hard to give your trust but I trusted him like I've known him for 20 years. Mr. Bailey helped me get my life back on track. Which in turn will help me spend more valuable time with my children, One of the most important things you can never get back and for that I am forever grateful!!
In closing I want to let everybody know that I highly recommend them and their help in just about anything you're dealing with in life. God bless and God speed🤘

The team generally responded quickly to emails. I incurred late payment penalties (one month for one account, two months for the other) due to not being provided accurate payment projections despite providing all information to the firm in February. Ultimately, the filing felt unnecessarily stressful and rushed. Consultation with other firms to review those filings revealed errors and omissions which will require filing amended returns.

Attorney Ile Adaramola served as my Ancillary Estate Attorney and it was truly a pleasure working with her -- She delivered what she promised and exceeded my expectations!
I live out of state and was very concerned about engaging an out-of-state lawyer, especially since I did not have a personal referral. I found Attorney Ile online and I’m very pleased with my selection – she completed my estate work in record time! She was very transparent regarding her fees and shared the fees break-down with me prior to retaining her. During our initial consultation, she educated me on the process and timeline. And when I hired her, she executed as advised. She is very efficient and handled my estate excellently, and I highly recommend her and her service!

We are an investment group in NC and hired Ms. Adaramola to find us distressed properties to purchase. Ms. Adaramola, along with Ms. Lisa Roberts-Allen, found us a number of properties for significantly below market value. We couldn’t buy them fast enough. After evicting the previous owners, who claimed the foreclosure was fraudulent ( Ms Roberts-Allen showed that they were legal foreclosures because she notarized all of them). We made so much profit off the sales of the properties that are tax liability due to enormous capital gains almost made us have to sell our 4 Wake boats. Do not hire this attorney unless you want a high tax bill.

The firm was hired to review and revise as necessary my husband's will and my will. I also wanted advice and information on my existing Testamentary Trust, as Trustee. As I am getting older I wanted to understand more completely what my will would set in motion at my death and how my trust could be terminated at my death. We now have new updated wills and mine includes instructions regarding my trust. I am comfortable that my wishes will be followed. Thank you, Ile, it was a pleasure working with you!
If you want your questions answered promptly and completely in a relaxing atmosphere this is the lawyer's office for you.

Heidi Stewart promised to help with an issue with my dad. It was time sensitive. She saw him once and talked to him one other time. On Friday she said she would see him Saturday. On Saturday she said she couldn’t see him because she needed to spend time with her family. She agreed to see him Sunday morning at 11:00 and then texted my wife (in another state) an hour before the appointment saying she couldn’t come and to call her next week. Today, Monday, she sent an e-mail saying her schedule would not allow her to see him and to find someone else. This is NOT the way to conduct business, especially with a lot on the line. I would never recommend someone with such a poor business ethic. I had paid her for the time she invested and was more than willing to pay for the rest had she done so

Heidi Stewart is very helpful & compassionate. I felt truly understood, as well as emotionally supported while seeking her help with a complex situation. She seems to have a very strong understanding of technical aspects of the law, and she is also sensitive to the emotional needs of her clients. I felt she was giving advice in a genuine effort to help me make the best decision for myself.

I read a one star review about Sam as well as Sam's rebuttal. I feel compelled to tell you what I know about Sam.
He is 100% a great person. He was my neighbor for years and he is close friends with a good friend of mine.
Sam is a gem of a human being. He would never let a client down.
Sometimes folks get themselves into a pickle and they have a hard time admiting fault. Sam is not that kind of person but it seems his ex-client has trouble with taking responsibility, not only in regards to his relationship with Sam bit his previous attorneys as his business partners. When you look at the toxicity what is the common denominator ?
Sam is a great, conscience person. I wish I were more like Sam

I retained Sam Craig for a partnership dispute involving a several real properties and several successful businesses that were taken from me. Sam is probably a good lawyer most of the time, however when I retained him it took him nearly a month to officially notice his representation in the court and during that time opposing council took advantage of my time where I was in between lawyers and served me with requests for admissions that were later deemed admitted because Sam didn't respond on time. When he was called out on his egregious mistake, he through me under the bus and fired me an hour after I paid the rest of his large bill. He is not a zealous advocate. He will stop at nothing to avoid accountability for his mistakes. Because he didn't notice to the court that he was my attorney despite me paying him a large sum of money and signing a representation agreement, most of my claims were tossed out in summary judgement. I'm still spending tens of thousands of dollars on appeals because of this. When I asked him to rectify this mistake he simply ignored me and told the state bar I'm a liar. I'll be seeking relief in superior court and with the state bar for Sam's gross negligence and malpractice.

From my location on the west coast I needed an attorney in Western North Carolina to resolve an outstanding debt. Samuel Craig was able to recover the debt with a minimal cost to me, as well as to the debtor. His negotiations, from my perspective, were smooth and succinct. He was respectful of all parties involved and was easy to reach and communicate with throughout the process.

I live in North Carolina and got a ticket in Savannah Ryan Langlois was honest and upfront about everything gave a fair price and did an excellent job representing me. I could not be happier with the outcome Ryan was extremely professional and extremely thorough. I would highly recommend him, other attorneys tried to over charge me and take advantage of me being from out of town and he was straightforward and let his actions do the talking. Amazing firm to deal with!

THEIVES! We used them to handle a workers comp case and they tried to steal over $5000 by sneaking behind our backs and lied in writing!
We only found out when one of them let it slip discussing that they received their check weeks prior and we have been ignored and left in the cold for months trying to get paid, even after signing papers and settling! Do not trust these people (Greensboro Office) Cannot believe after they get $20,000+ they have the nerve and greed to attempt stealing another $5,000 illegally.

Losing your home is a horrible experience and this law firm doesn't give damn about you or your circumstances. You're doing everything to come up with the money and this law firm's fees is what will get you because they add more whenever they feel like it and whatever amount they feel like. I called and told them that I'd finally come up with all of the money and two days later they added 6,000 with only a few days for me to come up with money or lose my house. I literally collasped and I hope to never have to deal with them again.

We did not feel like we had very good representation from this law firm, specifically Cindy Rice. We had a lawsuit brought by a former partner in our medical practice. Initially, we received some some poor advice about how to proceed, in our opinion and in retrospect. Then we went to mediation and this is where Cindy and the firm really screwed up our supposed settlement. The wording for the settlement that she composed allowed the opposing party to accuse us of breach of contract, file another lawsuit and put is in a very bad/precarious situation. I would not recommend her/this firm for representation.

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:
-
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.
