Tore has been my attorney through two failed toxic marriages. She's knowledgeable, tough, and a loud loud voice for children when they can't be heard, when the other side see's Tore has become your attorney they want to run for the hills and hide under a rock and as Tore would say do some primal screaming. If you have the truth on your side and you have Tore you win period it's that simple!

The first thing I noticed about this office is the friendliness of the office staff and attorneys. My need was to have a Living Trust created, most of which I was totally unfamiliar with initially. Both attorneys answered any questions I had throughout the process, so ultimately the whole experience has been very positive. A+

I want others to know how pleased I am with the collections effort made by James Colborn on my behalf. He was persistent, tenacious, even-tempered and just kept doing his job until he collected on an unpaid debt. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Colborn to others who find themselves in a bind with a collection debt. Thank you James for a job very well done!!

James resolved an odd case for me in which the address on my title was switched with my neighbor over 15 years ago, and despite the neighbors property being sold twice since then it was never caught. I live remotely and had never met James, I was fortunate to find him on the internet and am very glad I ended up working with him. I tried to resolve this myself and got nowhere so I reached out to James. First he gave me advice on how to resolve it myself and offered to help if I wasn't successful. After failing to resolve it I went back to James and he agreed to help. He was able to find the original title company even though I had lost the documentation and pursued a solution through them. Simultaneously he pursued an alternative solution with the owner of the other property. Timing was important because the property next door was set for foreclosure with my physical property listed as the legal address on the title. James kept me up to speed on all aspects of his efforts. He was courteous and professional in resolving the issue, and ultimately when the situation demanded it, aggressive enough to gain cooperation to resolve the problem. James resolved the problem, clearing my property from complications with the foreclosure, correcting the information with the county and solving the problem. He did all of this remotely as I no longer live in the area and never met face to face. I found James to be professional, competent, and fair. I was very glad he was representing me and was very satisfied with his work and the outcome. While it is never inexpensive when you need legal advice, I felt his fees were fair and that I got a very good deal for the work and results. I would rely on James for future real estate work without hesitation and would recommend him to friends and colleagues. Working with James was a very positive experience.

I hired Abby on a recommendation from another prominent lawyer. I was not disappointed. This was my first time in the legal system and I appreciated her willingness to help me understand everything. She really helped me out in a time where I was really scared about my safety. I don't think I could have had a better lawyer. She fought for me and really tried to keep in touch with me and keep me informed. I appreciate her gentleness and empathy. My divorce took a little longer than I would have liked but she always kept me looking forward. I would 100% recommend her to anyone. She is fantastic. Thank you Abby for everything. I wouldn't be where I currently am without you.

Abby represented be in a custody dispute after I finally fired an attorney halfway through my case that was not doing anything beyond collecting a paycheck. She listened and took notes as I gave her the case background, was quick to reply, fought hard for what was right in the courtroom, billed fairly and honestly, and worked relentlessly with the understanding that this was more than a simple case. I cannot say enough good things about Abby and only regret that I had not found her sooner. I hope to never hire a lawyer again but if I do it will definitely be Abby.

I have both hired Mr. Perry's services for both business and personal legal matters and have found his service to be excellent. He has successfully worked through several complicated and high stakes contractual and lender involved matters.
His council is direct and clear, and his legal knowledge is deep. The fees are appropriate and fair, and he has always been responsive.
He remains the "first call" for my legal needs.

I contacted Mr. Sennett to assist with an employee plaintiff matter. He reviewed the information I sent him thoroughly and explained all the good and bad points of my arguments. He ultimately opted not to take my case, however, he was very patient, spent a lot of time with me, and went above and beyond expectations despite ultimately not agreeing that it was as solid as I saw the situation. That said, I would work with him again if the opportunity arose! He made sure to set me on the best path to find some justice even if he couldn't provide it for me directly. He had my best interest at heart. Definitely recommend!
I put "hired" because he spent multiple hours on my case, which he ultimately could not support, so it was well above just a "consult". Because he couldn't help me on a contingency case, he didn't bill me for all his research time, which was substantial.

Unemployment benefits were denied. We retained Stephen Sennett as our attorney to represent us. He did an excellent job of presenting the evidence and facts of our case along with case law to the judge at our appeal hearing. The result was a reversal of determination of our employment benefits being denied. He made us feel like he took a personal interest in our case, was highly professional and put us at ease. He is an outstanding attorney and I would recommend him highly to anyone.

It was an extraordinary stroke of luck when my malpractice insurance company hired Mr. Jones to represent me in a recent malpractice suit against me. From the very start he was thorough, always prepared, always on time, and went out of his way to come to my office on several occasions to prepare me for the pre-litigation panel and deposition. Every time I talked to him I always felt he was in complete control of the situation and had gone out of his way to do all his homework. I knew that while I was practicing medicine he was representing me and left me as worry free as possible. Through his hard work and determination and honest representation and skill, I was extricated from the suit before it went to trial. I would totally recommend Mr. Jones to any other doctor who needs him. I am almost looking forward to my next lawsuit, so I could quickly hire him to let the other side know that a real professional is working for me.

I have had multiple opportunities both personally and professionally to observe attorneys in their work. Mr. Jones handled my medical malpractice case and was very knowledgable about the relevant laws. He prepared me vey well for my deposition and predicted the tactics of the opposing counsel. He not only successfully got me removed from the case but, as well I feel, won the co-defendants case for them. I would request to have him again if the need were to arise. He is by far the best trial lawyer I have seen.

Gary was very useful and helpful and professional in some different cases that we worked with him on. We had a business that we had a partnership and we had a large line of credit with a bank. Well my two partners decided that they wanted out and would not pay their share of the line of credit. Gary worked with my bank and was able to get them to agree to let me pay my one third share of the line of credit and they the bank could go after the other two individuals.
On another occasion I had a challenge with a local hospital and felt that they had caused some health issues that was because of lack of attention to detail and then they tried to bill me for their mistakes. Gary wrote to the hospital and worked out the situation and they did not send me any more bills for their miscues.
Gary helped me one time when I was mis charged for asualt on a individual who was in some authority and misused his authority in filing this case. Gary advised me and also made some phone calls to the courts and helped me to find an attorney that was profiencent in this type of law. Everything worked out for my benefit. Gary is very in tune with and how to apply the law and I would and probable will use him for guidence and direction in the future.

Edward is honest, generous with his time and very professional.
I hired Edward in November of 2021 and have been extremely happy with his service. In general, I have always been very leery when hiring an attorney - I have always felt that most attorneys are too concerned with tracking your time and speak to you in legal terms that are difficult to understand, hence patronizing and somewhat condescending, but to my pleasant surprise, Edward has been so humble and gracious while extremely knowledgeable. I would rehire Edward without reservation.

Great lawyer and very knowledgeable about provider audits by insurance companies as well as other provider matters such as contracting, discipline etc. He has a niche area which few lawyers understand or practice. If you are a doctor, chiropractor or other provider type you need to call Mr. Bengoechea for your questions.

I worked with Kevin for my DUI charge in 2014. I prefer to not discuss the specifics of my case in a public forum but I did want to comment on the work of Kevin. I can understand that DUI lawyers very likely get all the same questions during the initial consultation, but Kevin approached it as if it was a natural conversation as opposed to the scripted or outlined discussions I had with a few specialists before I talked to Kevin. That made me feel much more comfortable. He and his staff were there helping me throughout the process and answering every single question I had.

Jared was great handling my automotive warranty legal claim. He was very quick to respond, offer help, and offered different avenues that I was able to take. He kept me updated every step of the way. This was my first time needing a lawyer and he made the expierence less stressful then I could have imagined. Also, if Jared is unable to help with your situation he will recommend someone he trusts to represent you. I would recommend him to a friend and use him again in the future.

I first met Andrew at the Boise City Library where he was donating his time teaching community members about the estate planning process. I expressed my reluctance and fears about starting this process, but I found him so reassuring, that I contacted his office. I knew immediately that I wanted to hire him. Within a week following the class, my estate documents were all completed and signed off. That is how efficient he is. I have worked with many attorneys who were often self-absorbed and braggarts. This is not Andrew. He was well-informed and intelligent about estate planning, but did not try to bluff his way through the process. To work through my estate details, I had to confide some unfortunate and hurtful truths about my family. His compassion was evident, and he skillfully helped me to move forward with the planning. He is a managing partner at Gravis Law and exemplifies the tagline -- Law: Uncomplicated. I really appreciated his ability to explain complicated processes in layman's terms. He had a ready answer for all of my many questions. I found the price to be very reasonable too. Without hesitation, I recommend Andrew for all estate planning.

We were referred to Amber by our financial advisor after our previous attorney retired. We had literally spent thousands on a very complicated trust. We needed to make some simple modifications, but were a bit gun shy that we might be in for another large bill and protracted effort. We were pleasantly surprised with Amber's efforts to wade through our big old trust, her professionally respectful way of telling us we could make it simpler and her approachable demeanor. She obviously knows what she is doing! Wish we had met her sooner. We would HIGHLY recommend Amber.

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.
