Josh came highly recommended to us and we have worked with him in a few areas over the last couple years. I can always trust that Josh has our best interests in mind and only pursues areas that have an ROI for us. He sets great up-front expectations on what we can expect from the process, a realistic end result, and time frame. When he lacks knowledge in a particular area, he is the first to say so. This, in my experience, is not normal. We are lucky to work with him.

I needed an Attorney to help me with a legal issue regarding my property. I was referred to Thomas. It was a great reference because Thomas guided me and helped me through a lengthy process that led to success. Thomas always listened to what was going on and when I believed that the situation was impossible to overcome, Thomas made me feel at ease that it would all work out. Thomas is an Attorney that has been in the trenches and has a lot of experience and can help you through your legal issues. If you need an Attorney that has the time and patience and offers a great value for the cost, I would take a look at working with Thomas Johnston!

Just reached out about a situation we are in; she gave a free consultation. Don't know that we will end up needing her services, however she gave us some great advice about how to proceed, and we would use her if we needed it. We were crashing on a deadline, and she was busy during the work day so she called us at 10PM after a full busy day of her work and family activities. We certainly appreciate her helpfulness.

I recently sought out estate planning (Will/Advance Directives, etc) with Slater Law Office. (I don’t have much but it still needed done). It was a very easy, expeditious process and Rich helped explain everything to me. I’m grateful for the experience. Much less expensive than others I contacted for pricing within Hamilton County.

However, although I wasn’t exactly ready at that point in time. They definitely kept checking up on me to ensure they were there when I was ready. 100% customer service. Being prior service and having a company follow up with you no matter that current situation went a lot to me. I’m excited to see her to her thing.

It was a pleasure working with Immigration for Couples. Our immigration situation was more complex than normal. They made us feel at ease, and provided excellent guidance on how to approach it. That goes to show they have experience. Immigration for Couples were very attentive, if you had a question, they would respond to you right away. I would say that they truly care about their clients, it’s not just a business, they are changing peoples lives. I felt like they were very trust worthy.

They do things you express you don't want to do (that can harm your case), as lawyer's they should be thinking of the long term and not the short term win.. They don't listen to you and encourage an outcome that best suites them. They don't budget. They spend the highest amount of money on things that you may pay the price for in the end.

The degree to which Mr. Jeffrey Jinks mishandled my case was just astonishing. He filed a suit on my behalf despite my concerns that the issue had not been investigated. As a result of his rush decision because he did not confirm we had grounds for the suit, I, the plaintiff, ended up paying the respondents' legal fees. That's how "well" he represented me. Just let it sink for a second: I hired an expensive attorney who filed a suit on my behalf so I would end up paying even more money. My own attorney caused me damages. How funny is that?! I expressed my concerns several times that the issue should be investigated, but Mr. Jinks dismissed it every single time. Eventually I gave in as I trusted his experience and expertise. I guess I shouldn't have. I was not expecting such representation from an attorney who "has been practicing for over 20 years" as Mr. Jinks likes telling about himself. Honestly, a third-year law school student would have done a better job. Mr. Jinks pretends as if it was my choice to pay the respondents' legal fees because he presented me with several "options". But Mr. Jinks knows that none of these "options" was really an option. They included a suggestion to continue pursuing the case while he admitted we didn't have grounds or for me to hire a new attorney. Yes, after wasting money on him, Mr. Jinks offered me to spend even more money to clean up the mess he created. We all make mistakes. That's a thing we all have in common. What makes us different is what we do about our mistakes and whether we make them right. Mr. Jinks failed there, too. Not only he did not admit his mistake, he stated "he feels great" about how he handled the case. But as it turned out, the case mishandling was not the only mistake Mr. Jinks made. While preparing documents, Mr. Jinks used a wrong name, a cherry on top of the mess he created. Truly, a very disappointing experience.

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.
