I got a flier from J. Max Davis after I was sued by a company that took over a "debt" on a car that I had turned back in to the dealer because it was a lemon. The flyer said he could possibly get the case dismissed. I hired him for a low price, payable over a few months, and within a year he got the case dismissed

Mr. Davis helped me solve my debt problems when he got a case dismissed after I was sued by a credit card company. He is not a bankruptcy lawyer and he only does debt defense when one of the collection agencies/credit companies sue you.The suing company tried to bully me. They tried to get me to do a quick (but very unfair) settlement with them but he stood up to them and stopped them from getting a judgment and garnishing my wages. His fee was very reasonable and it also helped me that he accepted interest free low monthly payments.

The Fly Lawyer exceeded all of my expectations in handling my case! From the moment I hired him, he turned my overwhelming stress into confidence. Facing charges had me worried, but his professionalism, knowledge, and reassuring demeanor immediately put me at ease.
In court, his reputation spoke volumes—he was well-respected by the judge, officers, and court officials. And true to his name, he arrived looking sharp and ready to represent me with unmatched excellence. Not only did he get my charges dismissed, but we were in and out of court quickly. He made this process feel like an experience.
My husband discovered him on social media years ago, and after hearing great things, I started following him myself. Even before I needed legal help, I was impressed by his expertise and results. When I finally reached out, he was prompt, thorough, and made me feel like I was in the best hands from our very first conversation.
His experience, execution, and overall "flyness" are truly unparalleled. If you’re in Georgia and need an attorney who delivers results and represents you with excellence, hire The Fly Lawyer. He doesn’t miss, and he won’t disappoint. I'm grateful!

I wanted to extend my deepest gratitude to JR and his team for their outstanding friendliness & professionalism. I was in a car accident in July, and a family member suggested I consult JR Law. I decided to stick with them for the entire process, and I'm very happy I did! It was my first accident, and I already began panicking trying to figure out everything with insurance and what I will do to get things back on tracks on my own and I’m glad I didn’t have to do that. Cyarra (my lawyer) did an amazingly great job of taking me through the long process & kept me well informed. Dealing with insurance companies is exhausting & depressing as they do everything they can to avoid paying. Cyarra was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive! Every time I had a question, she provided an answer right away. Called even to just make sure my recovery was going good. I did feel like Cyarra was always there for me. She’s not just a great lawyer but also a wonderful person.
They will staying in my contacts for sure! And I will be highly recommending them to all that I can reach in a car wreck!

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.

- 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.

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.
