Brian is sharp, quick, and gets the job done right the first time. I hired him to handle an acquisition of a new business and was impressed with his thoroughness in the process. He walked me through every detail of my purchase and happily answered all of my questions on a level I could understand. I sincerely appreciate all his hard work and will definitely always use his services for all of my business needs!

Unethical phoenix university level lawyer. Got smoked by my husband (with no law degree) in court and LOST. If you want an attorney that will actually win your case, find someone else. This guy represents felons and registered sex offenders. He’s as scummy as lawyers come.

I had a great experience with Caitlyn. She explained each paragraph of the contract and such great detail with examples that I do not see how I could’ve understood it better. I strongly recommend her as her attentiveness, timeline, and eye for details made this process very smooth.

I would definitely recommend Brandon Dial law firm. He was recommended to me from multiple people and I agree he’s fantastic. I have a special needs daughter and had concerns about her being looked after. He did the trust and power of attorney. Very affordable. He listened and was easy to talk to and helped me put all my concerns aside. Look no further. He’s the best.

In this "Age of Communication" where responding is virtually impossible NOT to achieve, the Evans, Ga. branch of this Law Firm are professionals at being rude and condescending. It does not take 7 days to pick up a phone and return a phone call unless your building was demolished by a tornado. Professional courtesy, due diligence and good manners have not been displayed to (us). I have no doubt that others have had a better experience therefore I would have to say that prejudice falls into play here. To choose and select whom to help and dismiss others due to the size of the "purse" is immoral and unethical.

The only time I expected to hire a lawyer is when it came time to writing up a contract for a small business. Having to hire one for defense was the last thing on my mind especially how rough a year is has already been.
Since the beginning, communication with Troy has been clear, straight forward, and was not sugarcoated. He is well versed in law and will thoroughly go over the details of your circumstances.
Troy has your back until the end and will take all the steps to ensure the best results that leaves everyone happy

Mr. Taylor came as a recommendation from another attorney in a domestic case I was involved in. I interviewed 7-8 lawyers for my divorce and found one I could trust to honestly counsel me and advocate for me to the Court.
Mr. Taylor impressed me with his case management, communication skills and common sense/plain spoken counsel. As a veteran of the U.S. Army JAG Corps, Mr. Taylor displayed an accurate and proactive understanding of military pay and retirement issues that were in question during our proceedings.
Through the entire legal process, from responses to hearings, Mr. Taylor provided level-headed and reasonable counsel regardless of the situation. In each interaction with the Court or officers of the Court, Mr. Taylor displayed a great respect for the process... and the Court displayed a great trust in Mr. Taylor's judgement and arguments.
In short, I would hire Mr. Taylor in an instant for reasonable, honest counsel and representation.

On top of exemplifying every rating attribute (trustworthiness, responsiveness, etc.), Mr. King is also an efficient and proactive attorney. I was charged with a misdemeanor possession of marijuana along with a failure to stop at a stop sign. Upon our initial consult, Mr. King was very understanding of the personal circumstances surrounding my case, and even went so far as to console me through such a low point in life. Within 24 hrs of establishing a rapport and hiring Mr. King, he called to inform me that he already started working on my case as soon as I left, and my charges may be reduced to a disorderly conduct if I agreed to either a 6 month probationary period or a 3 weekend stint in jail. During the time before the sentencing, I had called Nicholson Revell LLP several times with questions regarding the case, and each time Mr. King called back promptly with clear and concise answers. My case concluded with the 'failure to stop' thrown out, and conviction of disorderly conduct with a 6 month probationary period along with a 250$ fine. I highly recommend Mr. King based not only on the outcome of the case, but his professionalism and proactivity as well.

Last year, I was involved in a car accident. I was hit by drunk driver. As a result, I was told to seek a lawyer and referred to Frails & Wilson. I am satisfied with how they handled my case. They were really helpful and friendly. I highly recommend them to anyone. In the end, I received a fair settlement.

Pursuant to O,C.G.A. Section 40-5-121(a), upon a first conviction of driving with a suspended license within five years, the defendant will be assessed a minimum fine of $500. The maximum fine is $1,000. A minimum confinement period of two days is often imposed as well. Disorderly conduct, which is a less serious offense than driving with a suspended license, generally yields a lesser fine (usually around $300). If the previous reviewer believes other defendants received lesser fines, it's probably because they were pleading to disorderly conduct or some other minor offense. It thus appears that the previous reviewer's brother-in-law actually received the lowest fine he could have possibly received for the offense to which he pled, and it sounds like he wasn't sentenced to any jail time. Even though he had resolved the issue leading to his license suspension in the first place (his child support arrearages), that did not change the fact that his license was suspended at the time he was arrested. That's probably why the DA wouldn't drop the charges. Under the circumstances, the attorney obtained a very positive outcome for the defendant. My dealings with this attorney have been nothing but positive.

I am in the process of refinancing my mortgage and the White Law Firm is supposed to be my closing attorney. My loan processor has been trying to get important documents from them for over 2 weeks and can not get anyone to respond. I can't believe they treat clients in this way.

Don White handled the estate for my mom. Seems "ordinary" enough, doesn't it? You just look up any attorney, hire them, and boom.... have them handle your estate. Simple! How hard could it be, right? Before you answer, think about it for a moment. Because when met with circumstances such as the dynamics within OUR family, it was ANYTHING but "simple" for Mr. White. Highlights include: Lost paperwork from my moms employer... twice. A terminally ill sister who was the personal representative.... but was far too ill to perform the duties. A brother, who was forever waffling between "playing by the rules" and "burning everything to the ground" from one minute to the next. And myself... who lived too far away to really be of any help to the aforementioned sister on a daily basis, so I was constantly calling Mr. White.... and crying (how embarrasing).... on the phone over the whole sad and ridiculous situation! But through it all, Mr. White was patient, kind, and extremely understanding. Day or Night, he always called me back.... personally, I might add.... and always had an answer of some kind for me. I'm thankful to have had Don White as the attorney for my mom's estate. He is one HARD working man. I would absolutely recommend him.

If you don't use Russell as your attorney, you are making a massive mistake.

I met with Nathan in regards to pursuing litigation against my HOA. When I met with Nathan he seemed extremely interested in pursuing my case. We had clear evidence of mismanagement of HOA funds and both agreed this was worth taking on. We agreed on a set initial price of 1,000 dollars for Nathan to send my HOA a certified letter demanding for my HOA to disclose their financials records (this is required by law for them to do so.) Upon leaving his office, Nathan advised me that if I didn’t want to pay all 1,000 up front, he’s completely fine with monthly installments while the initial phases were getting underway. Although we didn’t agree on any set monthly amount, I was unsure of Nathan’s record and skill as an attorney, so not knowing what to pay, I decided to go with 250.00 a month.
Over the next 30 days all Nathan did was send an email to my HOA requesting their financials. My HOA essentially laughed at him and never replied. During this time I checked in with Nathan to explore what our options were going forward if they didn’t respond. Nathan was vague about his explanation and stated he would send a certified letter to them advising them that they had 14 days to respond. 14 days came and went, they simply continued ignoring us. 16 more days went by now approaching the 60+ day mark, I pay another 250 dollars. Nothing still was done.
At this point it’s almost 75 days in, and I again ask Nathan what’s the delay in him sending the certified mail. Nathan then completely changes gears saying he doesn’t think we have enough information to do anything, despite him making his case clearly to me and my HOA that they were in violation of by-laws by not providing us with the financial documents. Despite these crystal clear facts, Nathan then advised me that he would need 5,000 dollars up front in order to be comfortable going forward with the case and discussing pre-trial.
Having seen Nathan’s lackluster performance thus far (having not even sent the certified letter in 60+ days) I advised Nathan that I wasn’t confident in his performance thus far and would only be comfortable paying 5,000 on a contingency basis if we were to win the case (plus whatever fees he required) as any reputable attorney who’s confident in their abilities would do. After sending that email, Nathan emailed me the next day stating he would no longer be able to help me with my case.
I cannot explain the rapid change in confidence and behavior, maybe he was intimidated by facing a company of this size? Either way, he got completely cold feet and stated he wanted out. Despite my immense frustration with my time and money being wasted this whole time, I accepted his resignation and requested my 500 dollars back because he decided to part ways with me not holding up his end of the bargain which was sending the certified letter.
After seeing that I requested my money back, he claimed he was charging me by the hour (which we never agreed upon) and apparently typing up his two paragraph email came to 500+ dollars worth of “labor”. Seeing how Nathan failed to meet our agreed upon goal I pushed back and advised that if he wanted to take advantage of my kindness, I would simply contact my bank and file a dispute of the charges for services failing to be rendered.
After sending that email Nathan called me and began screaming and cursing at me. He was using Profanity that I haven’t heard since I was in the Navy. Seeing this come from a “lawyer” was quite shocking I must say. After repeated requests for him to stop cursing at me, he then accused me of being poor. He said: “You couldn’t even afford the first 1,000 how are you going to afford 5,000 more?” Laughing in the irony to myself that it was HIS recommendation for installments. After more yelling he finally agreed to give me my money back. My recommendation? Find a lawyer that’s reputable and knows their stuff. This guy was hitting out of his league and decided to blame me for his failure.

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.
