We thought our case was stagnant or dead. Tyler heard the details and within minutes he came up with a lead that our initial attorneys fail to see. Among many other things.
Tyler represented Jones and Walden in shining colors, with excellent communication and diligence every step of the way. Although the process was longer than hoped, Tyler followed through and we are more than happy with the end results.
Thanks again Tyler.
Much respect sir.

Bob has gone against Blue Blood lawfirms and held his own ground. He is a true Georgia Bulldog and can push his way into any victory. I recommend him - but he is expensive, for anyone that needs to use the law.

He's developed non-competes for us, employment agreements, NDAs, and represented us in litigation and settlement negotiation. But more importantly, he's always available to provide thoughtful input and advice about any challenge or opportunity facing our business.

I was involved in a auto accident I was rear ended by a negligent driver. I missed countless days of work, suffered injures that enabled me to preform daily activities. I contacted Daniel and his law firm who went to bat for me in every sense with the insurance company.
They were always in touch, always had all the answers to any questions, respectful, and caring! This law firm carried me through a horrible time of my life. They were always there for me day by day and that gave me time to concentrate on healing. A level of trust and caring that I will always be truly grateful for.
Daniel is a knowledgeable and experienced attorney. More importantly, he is a compassionate, which is essential when it feels as though your life is falling apart. I highly recommend Daniel Kalamaro and Clifton Law Firm.

As of 2015 I was assigned Lacey Rochester to help me in the proceedings to have my name changed. In the midst of our work she was offered a new position and had to reassign my case. Patrick immediately stepped in and continued the process, making sure that all documents were filed and taken care of. Seeing my new name become legal means so much to me and I'm so grateful for both Lacey and Patrick for making this girl's dreams a reality.

George provided very responsive and professional representation, during a very difficult and sensitive time for our family . Our case involved 2 felony charges. At any given time, we knew where the case stood and what the best options and possible outcomes would be. During the process, which was nearly a year , I cannot begin to count the number if times I phoned George with a question or simply to clarify information. Every time, George consistently and promptly responded to my husband, son or myself - many times on weekends or evenings.
His knowledge of the process & his anticipation of the prosecutor's potential actions and options were spot on.
As a result, our case was dropped and all charges cleared, thanks to George's dedication to the best possible outcome for our family

When I found Ms. Koefod, I was really frustrated as I had consulted with a few other attorneys who did not seem to take me seriously. I started out with an e-commerce business and launched a Marketing firm but am pretty young and it is all online. I felt like Ms. Koefod was not only really well versed on what I needed, but also took me seriously and gave me great advice about suggestions to protect my business. She took care of my business formation and got my trademarks filed. It was nice to know the fee up front since everything was a flat rate and I got office hours and personalized attention that was focused on my specific business needs. She was very responsive and helpful and I now use her as fractional General Counsel so that I have an excellent attorney if and when things come up as my business grows! I felt really comfortable working with her. She wasn't stuffy and spoke to me in a clear way. The office is also really up to date on technology so I could do all my communications with them through my phone since I am on the go so much. I am suggesting Ms. Koefod to friends who are starting businesses and even side hustles and was excited to hear that the firm services can grow along with my company. It felt like a very tailored bespoke solution.

We are currently involved with a dispute with an insurance company and a forensic engineering firm. We have retained Michael Weinstein to represent us in the civil suit. I have to say that he Mr. Weinstein has been everything you can ask for as your attorney.
He has been very responsive to our questions, and has undertaken our case as if it's the only case he has. Michael is through with his legal work and is able to offer you new insights/angles about your case that will help your case that you would've never thought about.
He truly has been a invaluable help for our case and you feel feel as if you're represented by your own family member, not as yet another client for $. He's just that personal with the cases he takes.
I HIGHLY recommend 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. 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.
