I was so happy to have found Jeffrey Dowd when I did last year. He exceeded my expectations in resolving a business transaction and was there every step of the way supporting me and encouraging me to not give up. It was refreshing to see an attorney that wasn't all about money but truly cared about people and helping them resolve issues that at times could be very traumatic. Whenever I had a question he was always there to help me and make me feel at ease and not to worry. It's a good feeling to have such an attorney on your side to fight for what is right. I would recommend Jeffrey Dowd to anyone and because he is a man of integrity and very knowledgeable in his field. I know he will be there for me when I need him again... thanks Jeffrey!

Michael and his staff never estimated their ability to handle this case from day one for me. This is a complicated case dealing with a parents house in a pending 7 year foreclosure case. After much research on his background and reading several of his motions and affirmative defense stradgies in similar type cases I chose him. This a well seasoned team with excellent service skills in all aspects of their office. I highly recommend this team.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Ms. Askew! I was ready to pay her whatever it took, but she declined and instead provided me with invaluable legal advice. Although my case is complex and falls outside her jurisdiction, her expertise was evident. She is highly professional and incredibly transparent, qualities I truly appreciate. I will highly recommend her.

I called in today to possible set up a consultation. The assistant assume that I called about something concerning my husband. I mean truly jumped to conclusions. After me addressing Shameka she also assumed the same I never mentioned what the situation was or what parties were involved. I advised to Shameka that I don’t know where husband came from she got cocky and asked then wat type of case am I calling about. I mean u r a lawyer y wouldn’t u take time to figure out first why I’m calling instead of assuming. I will not hire this firm nor will I give them out as a referral. Horrible horrible horrible. The last thing someone in need want to hear is someone being cocky or darn near rude when seeking family help

Extremely overpriced! Attorney Lambert did not communicate with us, she did not return emails, did not have our best interest in mind and she kept us in the dark completely, not a good feeling while mourning my father’s passing. She grossly mismanaged my fathers estate at our expense. She walked away with 4X’$ what other probate lawyers would have charged. She did not have the beneficiaries best interest in mind, only the PRs. BIG huge mess and she just kept on charging $$$$$! She did not have the skills required to do a probate and she should have told us that! Run do not walk away from this attorney unless family and money do not matter to you. She ruined family relationships and made out quite well from my fathers estate. I could go on and on…and I have proof of everything!!! For a probate case that should have cost a max of $4000 (according to other Attorneys that I’m happy to recommend) she walked away with over $15,000! Plus, she mismanaged my fathers inventory!$$! Probate 101. Very, very upsetting experience that I would not wish on anyone.

I strongly recommend Cox Law, PLLC to anyone seeking legal representation. I turned to Cox Law because I knew I needed legal assistance with my case. In retrospect I simply did not know how much help I really needed. I had an extremely complicated case and, although my experience was a difficult and arduous process, I can't imagine getting through this without Attorney Cox and his office.
My association with Mr. Cox was a blessing and the outcome of my case could not have been better. Attorney Cox is tremendous at managing client expectations and in doing so he displays exceptional experience. In addition he is quite affable. I found every encounter and communication with Mr. Cox to be professional and informative. He is skilled, approachable and extremely attentive and responsive. I never had to actively seek an answer or update throughout this difficult process. Attorney Cox is very proactive and skilled at articulating the law and legal process in an understandable manner. I did not once have to ask what was going to happen next with my difficult case.
Cox Law, PLLC. has an invaluable asset in Attorney Cox's paralegal, Ms. Salazar. Like Mr. Cox, she is extremely responsive and I have no doubt Ms. Salazar's attentiveness, knowledge and organization contributed greatly to the positive outcome of my case. She is a delight to interact with. I will be forever grateful for my representation by Cox Law, PLLC. and I personally felt cared about. This is an experienced, professional and attentive law practice and anyone in need of legal representation in a difficult situation should consider no other practice than Cox Law, PLLC.

This woman is a superhero! The amount of gratitude I have for how beautifully Stephanie represented and supported me during my divorce is something I cannot express or ever repay. I went through a high conflict divorce that involved young children. Stephanie was the second attorney in my divorce case. My original attorney hired her to represent me when my divorce case went to trial and my original attorney was not available for my trial. At first, I was frustrated that I had no say in who would be representing me at my trial but what a gift she turned out to be. A staff member from another family law office mentioned to me that if they needed a divorce trial attorney, Stephanie Koether would 100% be the one they hired because she is incredible in the court room.
From my first meeting with Stephanie, I felt so comfortable with her and knew that she was passionate about my case. From day one, she began rescuing me in ways I didn’t even know I needed rescuing. First she is brilliant! She knows family law and the local players inside and out. She worked brilliantly on my case and helped create solutions that both parties could agree on. She educated me on the realities and likelihood of each scenario so that I would be prepared and could make the best use of my time and money. When my former spouse and I could not agree, she advised me how to navigate those situations so we could find solutions and language that the court would approve. After learning the personalities and ugly history of my specific situation, she helped create parenting plans that would provide much needed protection and structure for my family. Secondly, her intuition is spot on. She quickly got up to date on the people, personalities and bizarre dynamics involved in my case. She anticipated issues and created solutions before the issues even came up. She may be young, but she is very experienced and respected in her industry. Thirdly, she is passionate about her clients. She fights for and protects her clients like they are her children. She protected me from attacks and created a structure to continue to protect me and my children from the chaos that divorce can create. When necessary, she told me the hard truths honestly yet gently. She pushed me when I needed pushing and also sat with me patiently providing support when the sadness of divorce became overwhelming. When I didn’t understand something, she explained it to me calmly and succinctly. Stephanie consistently responds quickly and is easily accessible. I would highly recommend Stephanie Koether to anyone going through a divorce, specifically a high conflict divorce. You want and need Stephanie in your corner!

You know how people ask you who your hero is? People often name celebrities or sports icons. I will forever name Stephanie Koether as my hero! I would highly recommend Stephanie Koether! I trust this woman with my life which is exactly what I had to do when going through my divorce. At the beginning, I had found an attorney who turned out to be a nightmare. I was referred to Stephanie by an attorney who lost in court against her. I followed his advice and called her right away. Stephanie took the time to listen to my story and started fighting for me right away. She started putting together a game plan for my case and it was obvious from the start, that she knew her stuff. Stephanie was always accessible and during times when she was occupied I was contacted back within 24 hours. I was not lost in the shuffle. Stephanie formed parenting plans, settlements and motions that would lead to the best outcomes and futures for me and my 4 children under the age of eight. She took the time to help me understand the benefits and disadvantages to each motion and plan. I was never pressured to do anything I was not comfortable with. I felt supported and validated by Stephanie every step of the way. I trust her whole heartedly to look out for myself and my children. Trust me and my review by hiring her for your next case, you will not be disappointed.

I hired Attorney Daniel Pilka to represent me in a lawsuit filed against me for HOA Attorney fees. I told Attorney Pilka since day 1, that I have limited resources, as a homeowner. Each month, Mr. Pilka send me billings that show excessive phone calls, that he says he made to the Plaintiff and the other defendant's attorneys. Mind you there was practically no activity on the case for the entire year I retained his services. I send him emails telling not to waste my resources on phone calls. In frustration, I terminated his services after I exhausted $4300+ and he informed me that he couldn't guarantee me a win unless I pay him more resourses$$. As it turns out, after I terminated Attorney Pilka, he sent me an email advising me that during his Motion to terminate as my Attorney, the judge advised that I was not at fault, and did not owe the Plaintiff any attorney fees as they claimed. Attorney Pilka is very knowledgeable in HOA matters, but I wouldn't recommend him to individual homeowners who have limited resources, as his billings are extremely high, he would be a better fit with a Community Association.

We were never asked before amended complaints were filed, appeals filed. All very costly for us the clients.
Worse than that Mr. Pilka neglected to use any Statutes or case law in his pleadings, hus giving the judge nothing to go on but rumor and heresay.

I had this dummy work on my snap case. He did not do anything! I lost every step because of him and his team! I told them my story and gave them all the evidence they need to win but all he wanted is money. I called the USDA and they told me he didn’t give them any evidence!!! When he got the money he does minimal work! Also he never answers the phone never call you back and leaves you clueless the whole process. Believe me if you have a snap case do it your self you will have much better results. I did not know this until I fired him! He lose on purpose to charge you more to “fight” the next process.

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.
