Incredible lawyer! So far it’s been about 2 years on retainer. Extremely personal, professional, and available. It’s nice to always have a business lawyer on speed dial like Robert. As a business we’ve been through several situations together, from basic formation agreement stuff to fighting insurance for a burned down building. All of which were handled without issue. We will continue to use the Masteller law firm.

I have had involvement with many different attorneys and have fought this same case for 2 years and have never had a better experience than this. Would highly recommend them!

I’ve been married and divorced three times. This place is only going to drag you along as long as possible so they car get every penny they can from you. I would’ve dropped them and switch to another attorney sooner on but after you’ve paid a $3500 retainer you don’t get that back so I thought surely it would be over soon, but it never was. Finally, after speaking to another attorney, I called them and told them exactly what they needed to do and the divorce finalized within 2 months Took almost a year for an uncontested divorce. The fees just climbing. I would call to ask what was taking so long and that would be another few hundred and then another couple hundred if they responded. The opposing party was said to pay all attorney fees yet somehow after they had sent the payment, there was an extra couple thousand added in that they’ve Now taking me to collections for.

I retained Cade's services and should've terminated his services the second he confirmed he was following up on 100% of opposing party/ oppposing counsels concerns and failed to follow up with opposing counsel on concerns I'd mentioned to him on several occasions over the course of more than a month. When questioned on the matter, Cade got emotional and upset and hung the phone up on me on 2 different occasions, refused to communicate via email to ensure he didn't go on record as not providing the services he agreed to provide during consultation. He sold "expanded standard visitation" as a win to me and failed to explain the fact that this is now the bare minimum. He also refused to answer basic, yes or no questions in email in order to force me to have to use additional time on conference calls to get these simple questions answered. When questioned, Cade gave no explanation as to why he would follow up on 100% of opposing counsels concerns and none of mine. Cade's colleague confirmed talks between Cade and opposing counsel without my knowledge and failed to disclose the nature of said conversations. At one point Cade lied to me about addressing and resolving a concern regarding my sons safety. Seek counsel elsewhere in order to avoid the disappointment, poor service and general lack of care provided by this guy.

I most definitely recommend Kristina Dial and her law office! She has gone above and beyond for my husband and I. Her office answers questions quickly and efficiently. She will do everything in her power legally to make sure you are taken care of the correct way. We used her for family law. We are so happy with our outcome and couldn't ask for a better family attorney. Melissa, her assistant, is the best and always gets you answers and ensures you understand the processes happening. We had an attorney before Dial and it was a mess. Dial and her team made sure it was sorted out and received a final custody order within the year. She is reasonably priced and well worth every penny we have spent!!

I strongly advise against hiring Kristina Dial as your attorney. In my personal experience, she took advantage of us and expected us to have a level of legal knowledge and expertise that was unrealistic. We had purchased a property in my name shortly before our marriage. After speaking to my ex-husband, the attorney called me and said, "Well, you didn't tell me you all bought the house only a couple of weeks before you were married. This changes things…” This lack of attention to detail and disregard for our situation was unacceptable. To make matters worse, we were alarmed by the attorney's behavior when she was in contact with my ex-husband regarding the numbers sent (bills, insurance, etc…). This clearly violates the ethical boundaries of attorney-client relationships, and we are strongly considering filing a complaint with the relevant board. If you are going through a divorce and have children and assets, you must find an attorney who will prioritize your interests and those of your children. I strongly advise that you look elsewhere for legal representation and avoid the attorney mentioned at all costs.

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.
