He is an excellent attorney my ex-employer made me signed a non-compete agreement back in 2008; after working there for five years I decided to leave the company and work on my own 7 months later I received a letter of cease and desist based on such agreement. David demonstrated that it wasn't enforceable under Georgia law. He was very knowledgeable of the law, kept me informed and follow up for months. I couldn't ask for a better Attorney. Thanks a lot David.

I am the National Sales Manager at Shofur, LLC, and we have David as our corporate attorney. He is excellent when it comes to making sure we are always fully aware of our options as a company. Great communication, easy to work with, and displays an incredible amount of integrity (especially as it applies to very confidential matters). I would recommend David to any person or corporation looking for intelligent legal representation.

From our first phone call, I felt David was extremely knowledgeable and would be an asset for our business. I always feel confident that he had my best interests in mind. I initially hired David when I was looking for an employment lawyer. However he now handles all our business matters. David always responds to my communication promptly, even occasionally on the weekend when the need has arisen. He also made excellent referrals when I’ve had a need for other areas of legal counsel. I consider David a fantastic find. I now carry his card in my wallet and would gladly refer him to anyone in need!

After months of tireless search for a credible attorney in the state of Georgia, one whose knowledge includes small business startup and registered agents, I found Attorney Lerae Funderburg.
As a branding agent, I wanted to provide my client with the services he deserved-given that this would be his first big endeavor in this area. After my initial contact, Attorney Funderburg immediately responded to my email and within seconds, we arranged a 15 mins phone conference to discuss my client’s needs and ways in which she would be able to assist.
Our business officially started on September 18 and less than a month later, we had a registered business and a registered agent-Attorney Funderburg- who readily made herself available to answer all business inquires and calls-even while on vacation.
This past week, my client and I sat down with Attorney Funderburg for a meeting, beyond the standard email and phone conversations, and let’s just say that her warmth, attention to details, drive, commitment, and compassion for clients showed from her greeting to the very end of the face-to-face meeting.
On behalf of my client and I, we highly recommend the services offered by Attorney Funderburg, to any small business owner desiring quality service and attention to your startup needs.
Thank you, Attorney Funderburg, this is only the beginning of a budding business relationship and we indeed look forward to conducting more business transactions with your firm.

Donna-Marie Hayle was simply a pleasure to work with. She was professional, kind, and logical. She listened to me even though I tend to over-explain, and she explained processes and options and recommendations in a way that I could understand. Her paralegal, Aida, is also very organized and communicative. They are a great team.

Donna-Marie has represented me twice; once when my car was stolen and recently with my divorce. My ex-wife turned a simple divorce into a mess. When dealing with an unnecessarily difficult lawyer on the opposing side, Donna-Marie was very professional, courteous, and respectful. She understood my fair position and managed to keep my focus on the important points despite several baseless lies from my ex-wife. I received everything I wanted plus more with her help. I would highly recommend her.

I must say, hiring Ms. Shania King, as my attorney was the best legal decision I've ever made... And trust me when I tell you this I've had a lot of legal issues that needed excellent legal advice.
Attorney King is beyond exellent!!! Watching her argue my petition to the court was like watching a chess master making their final move for the checkmate! I've had a lot of attorney's in my life time and I believe she is one of the best in the world!

In November of 2023 I contracted to a Time for Prints/Photos (TFP) photoshoot with a photographer. The agreement was for us to complete a shoot, me to receive all photos, and for him to be able to use and post approved photos of me for further advertising of his skills. The photographer decided that he would breach the agreement, not give me my photos but ask me to pay for them, not get approval for pics, and ultimately said he was going to sell them for profit. At this point Kyle was consulted and hired. Kyle didn't waste any time asking for all necessary information and conversations. He took a thorough look and read through everything, drafted his cease and desist letter and sent it to me for review and approval. Once approved, he promptly and professionally delivered it to the photographer and included his contact information. They had a call and the photographer removed all of my content, deleted them, pulled out of the sell, and has not contacted me since. So, as stated in the title, Kyle was pleasant, efficient, and effective and I'd recommend his services.

I consulted with Kyle on a dispute with my Home Owners Association. They were attempting to allow an exemptions during the Super Bowl for short term rentals, a clear violation of the covenants and leasing resolution. He explained my options which included potentially drafting a letter and filing an injunction against the Board of the community.
In a separate matter, I hired Kyle to draft a cease and desist letter for a dispute with a photographer over the usage rights of the photos that were taken in an unpaid test shoot. The matter was settled after the letter was sent and a discussion over the phone.

Anyone who has ever started a business can tell you that while it’s an exciting time, it’s also a time filled with uncertainty and a lot of confusion. When I decided to incorporate my start-up, I called several business attorneys, and ended up going with Magee Law Group, because Kyle was very responsive and very knowledgeable. I could tell during my initial consultation with him that he truly cares about his clients and their success. I have worked with Magee Law Group for over a year now and view them as a strategic partner. They essentially operate as my outside general counsel, and I communicate with them on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis regarding everything from day-to-day operations, vendor contracts, negotiating deals, etc. If you have or are thinking of starting a business, I highly recommend Magee Law Group!
A friend referred Kyle to me, and I am very impressed!! He has taken the stress out of the legal aspect of my business, so that I can focus solely on running my business. He has handled everything from drafting an operating agreement to negotiating and drafting vendor contracts for me. I have Kyle review everything that my business signs, so that I know my business and personal assets are protected. He is very responsive and has been instrumental in helping me to navigate the challenges of my growing business.

My family had a traffic issue that had been very hard for us to navigate. We felt like we had no control or understanding and we were lost. I called her and she was knowledgeable and so personable. She took the time to hear our story and helped us through every step. She was available to us if we had questions and she updated us when needed. Our situation ended up getting resolved and we cannot thank her enough for her kindness and professionalism.

Glenn was very responsive not only in followup to an initial inquiry but also in completing the task at hand. It was also appreciated that he did not over legalese the situation nor act superior simply because he is a lawyer. Glenn also is very capable of leveraging modern communication platforms making it easier to work with him outside the traditional working day environment.

I showed up in court in a wheelchair back in early February of 2020. I had been going back and forth with the roofing company that put a lien on my home after they failed to uphold the commitments made in our contract. I suffered multiple strokes in those two years, and I could barely catch my breath long enough to argue my case effectively that day in court. While exiting the courtroom Attorney Gibson handed me her card and told me to give her a call. From the moment she handed me that card Attorney Gibson completely took over and handled the situation for me. I never had to lift a finger because she took care of it all. Today my matter is resolved and the lien is removed from my home. Thank you GLF!

I hired this law firm to migrate to the United States throw marriage, in less than three months my conditional green card was approved.
Three years later I rehired this firm to remove the condition and get a 10 year green card which with Mr. New’s help the process went very smoothly and I got the green card with no condition. Both times I hired Mr. New, he would constantly updated me with each step, so I never felt the need to contact him for any updates. He is also very fair and affordable each time I hired him. I referred him to another friend and they were very satisfied with his work.
I highly recommend Mr. New for any immigration needs you might have.

Everett helped me understand and avoid possible tax consequences to an insurance settlement I was going to receive. Everett is extremely knowledgeable but has no problems communicating when he needs to research something. He is professional but communicates legalese in layman's terms. He is very customer focused and communicates when he says he will which is very timely. I will hire Everett to complete my taxes this year and probably create various wills and power of attorney for family members. I highly recommend him!

It has truly been a pleasure working with Mr. Forrest K. Clinard for the past 6 years. I found his information on "Avvo" in 2015. After looking through numerous entertainment attorneys on this site, I just kept coming back to his profile and reading all the wonderful comments from clients who have worked with him. When we connected by phone and I explained my legal matters, I knew from the first phone call, that there was no need for me to search any further for an entertainment attorney. Over the years, I've learned so much terms used in the entertainment industry like option rights, life rights, option period, purchase agreement contracts, etc. Forrest's wealth of knowledge and years of experience in the industry gave me the fuel to start my production company. This year we gained the attention of a well known production company in Hollywood, with a story that I've been developing. Forrest was exceptional in guiding me through the process once the project got sold, as he made sure all the necessary paperwork was in place, thoroughly reviewing each document with me and making sure I had a good understanding of these contracts before signing them. Forrest is a true professional in the business, compassionate, honest, trustworthy and just a good hearted individual who puts the needs of his clients first and at the end of the day he gets the job done.
I wish this site gave " 10 stars or more, because he would be so deserving of each one! I'm so blessed to have listened to my intuition when choosing him to represent me and I know that we will be working together for many years to come. Forrest is simply the BEST !!!

I appreciated his willingness to give me a brief description of Georgia Law relating to a water related issue that popped up after my neighbor did some landscaping last winter.

I also appreciate that he was willing to do a brief 5-minute phone conversation without charge.

I engaged Mark in my capacity as an exec at a growing online business and he represented our interests exceptionally well. Mark is an attentive listener, sharp thinker, and is easy to work with, but most importantly he achieved a great outcome for us. Mark is a sophisticated attorney and clearly has a strong command of the law, but it doesn’t come at the expense of clarity. He has a knack for explaining legal concepts in concise terms that are easy to follow. His guidance and communication filled me and my counterparts with confidence that we were in good hands as we navigated a tricky and ambiguous issue. He proved to be an efficient executor and was very fair with his billing (a rare find in a capable attorney, from my experience!) Every touch-point with Mark and his firm was frictionless and easy. Mark will be our go-to guy for business needs, and someone I’d hire for personal matters as well. He’s a good one.

Vickie Sadler is a Woman of Character and Integrity
Following an accident involving a SUV and 18 Wheel Dump Truck on an Interstate my husband and I were both simply glad to be alive. We were not interested in a settlement just our medical bills, item replacement and reimbursement for the expenses associated with the event to which we were traveling as I was driving a company vehicle. We felt that this was something we could handle ourselves with the two other insurance companies involved but after relentless and wise counsel from leaders in my company we sought out our own counsel.
We had no intention of receiving money we were not entitled to and Vickie Sadler assured us that she understood and would work at the highest level of integrity on our behalf. We closed our settlement in May with all of the appropriate funds being received, with clear consciences and an intense level of regard, trust and appreciation for Vickie Sadler.

John is a rare find. He has all of the legal skills you want in your attorney, but his business sense and personability make him unique. Most importantly, he is not afraid to give you his unvarnished opinion, which many lawyers will not do. Because John is a good lawyer and a likeable person, good associates are drawn to him, so he always has a nice stable of good, mid-level associates working around him.

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.

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.

- 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.

What services do you offer?
Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution. -

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.
