First things first I’d like to thank Mr. De leon and his amazing team.. I was sitting in Cameron county jail, when he was appointed to me, I was a little concerned about having a court appointed lawyer for such a high profile case. I was Charged with aggravated robbery, manufacture/ delivery and engaging in organized criminal activity, all first degree felonies.. I was facing anywhere from 5-99 years in prison.. while incarcerated Mr. De leon was able to get my organized crime charge dropped, which led to a bond reduction. I got out on bond and have been dealing with court since..I had it in my head that was going to prison but Mr.De leon went to war with me during court and did what he could to get me the probation I wanted. I highly recommend Mr. De Leon and his team.

I met Mr. Ysasaga at a car dealership and found his wallet. I cleaned cars there. When I returned it to him, Michael gave me his business card and told me to call him if I ever needed anything. I was arrested for something I didn't do and Michael helped me for free in the criminal case for over a year and 10 months. He wouldn't let me take a plea deal from the DA because I was innocent and he said he'd help me no matter how long it took. I was really worried and sick over this deal. But Michael told me to keep the faith. The DA finally dropped all charged after almost 2 year. I am really grateful forever for Mr. Ysasaga's help. May God Bless him. Michael Eugene Johnson

I honestly don't have any idea how this guy has such great reviews. My family had a terrible experience with his firm. All we got from him was excuses and hot air. He is well past his prime and should retire. Unless you have a loser case and want it slow walked, look elsewhere. We had a pending case in the 138th and he didn't know Gabby Garcia had the job until months after her installment, and I had to tell him. He should buy a subscription to the local Brownsville paper and pay someone to read it to him, Lord know he charges enough.

We had the pleasure of working with Mr. Sullivan on a legal matter concerning our home. We found Mr. Sullivan to be extremely knowledgeable and professional.

Overall, Thomas Sullivan is a brilliant attorney for civil matters and business. He'll talk your ear off (at your expense). Otherwise his fees are basically reasonable. He handled an appeal for me in a case I knew was wrongly judged in favor of the plaintiff and it was completely reversed and I was awarded most of my defense costs. Now all we need to do is figure out how to get my money back from the plaintiff who is hiding assets.

I have nothing but positive things to say about the law office of Phil Bellamy and his team of paralegals, he’s an honest man, a humble man, but more importantly he works tirelessly and endlessly for his clients, I am absolutely impressed by their unmatched work ethic, easily the best legal team in Brownsville and the entire RGV Do yourself the favor of reaching out to them for a real fighting chance.

I highly recommend Mr. Bellamy for your law needs. He is an amazing attorney who is willing to work with you, so he is affordable. From the first consultation he knew what actions needed to be taken to help get my life back on track. Without the help of the entire Bellamy firm, I know that I would have not had the successful outcome I have had. He is quick to respond and keeps you updated on your case. I am proud to be a Phil Bellamy client and will continue to retain them for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands.

I want to warn everyone out there that is looking for a lawyer to beware of hiring this attorney. He did not take my case seriously, missed crucial deadlines and made major mistakes along the way. After almost 4 years of begging him to do something and hoping he would not just quit he did just that (1) day before my mediation and just a few weeks before my trial date in my civil suit. I had to go to mediation and represent myself because he withdrew as my council. He is unresponsive, lackluster, unprepared and is easily overwhelmed. He took $15,000.00 of my hard-earned money in advance as his retainer and then just walked away. I would not recommend this man for any legal advice of any kind on any matter. he does not respond to calls, emails or messages for sometimes 7-12 days and that my friends is the type of performance you'll get with Phil Bellamy The only reason I gave him one star is because they did not offer a negative star option. I regret the day I met and retained him.

Mr. Nunez helped me with an old case from 2019 I had had a warrant for my arrest all was handled so great in 2023 he moved fast on my case he was so awesome to work with and very professional in court. I agree with other reviews Lupita the paralegal who works in office is a fast talker and does not help you with what you ask for. She is extremely manipulative and can make you uncomfortable to say anything at all. The secretary in office who works the front desk is very kind and helpful. If you can bypass Lupita. Mr. Richard Nunez was a 10/10 for an attorney I am so grateful for his approach and just how he is as a person. He listens well and if you come as professional as YOU can on your end it all works out better than you expect!! I did all that was expected of me at probation and Judge Rincones let me go free and I didn't have to pay the remainding probation fees. The entire experience with the Nunez was great. So much so I am returning and going to hire him again to clear my background.

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
