His personal approach not only saved me from missing my court date, but helped in winning over the court. His dedication and integrity was beyond what you get from just a billboard attorney. With Reasonable pricing and true devotion to his clients you can't ask for a better result. On top of that his case notification system and email tracking makes submitting and knowledge of where you stand in your case more than necessary. He pulls no punches and only wants the best for his clients. Will use him again if needed.

Greg did a great job in preparing me for what to expect. I had a simple separation that has turned not so simple because of an ex-spouse with trouble making decisions and her nearly equally difficult cousel. He has done a great job of keeping me from getting into additional legal trouble, counseled me on getting the car back and prevented her from taking advantage of the situation. I appreciate his help and professionalism more than I ever thought I might.

Adam and team appeared professional and polite, but he dismissed several of my concerns about my ex and told me that they are not usually documented in the official paperwork and that those are just agreements that my ex and I would make afterwards. Well, I accepted his "expert advice" against my better judgement and here I am post divorce and those exact concerns are causing issues and making my life difficult. Had Adam considered my concerns and listened to what I had to say about my ex, I would not be in this situation. As well, he ignored a few emails that were focused on those specific topics.
As well, at times I felt like he was more on my ex's side (or his lawyer's side) than my side. I constantly had to defend myself to him and repeat my concerns over and over and over, and he still didnt hear them.
And after all this and settling our case (3 months ago) without proper language which is causing me pain on a daily basis, "Mesaros finance team" has not sent me the remaining/unused portion of my money back despite my written and verbal requests.
So, bottom line, dont recommend!

Cavinder Law was exceptionally helpful when I found myself in need of legal assistance. Kerri is fast and knowledgeable, always getting back to me quickly. Jason clearly knows his way around things, as he was able to get things taken care of with an outcome beyond what I expected possible. I highly recommend Cavinder Law Office if you need help navigating the complexities of the legal system and some one to push for your interests. Fair price, great service, ideal outcome!

David is absolutely wonderful! He and his team guided me through a tumultuous divorce and custody battle. I had been through a few other small town attorneys before him & without a doubt I would have been in bad shape had I not switched to David. He was kind, he was thorough, & he explained things in non legalese for me to understand. I know I’ll refer to David for any future needs. A big thank you to Sherri & Rylee too! 10/10!

Does not communicate professionally. Had my contact information wrong. Seems very novice and inexperienced. Might be good for the price if you need something simple done.

STAY AWAY FROM THOMAS KANDO and SARAH. They will rob you out of your hard earned money and very unprofessional!!
I had an extremely disappointing experience with this law firm, particularly with Thomas Kando. My family engaged their services in November 2023, seeking assistance with a property damage case. During our initial meeting, Mr. Kando assured us that the case was strong and encouraged us to proceed, which we did, trusting his professional judgment.
However, after receiving a $1,000 payment, communication from both Mr. Kando and his assistant Sarah ceased. Despite repeated attempts to contact them via phone and email, we received no responses. On multiple occasions, we visited the office in person, only to be told that we would receive a call back, which never happened. Out of approximately 15 visits, we encountered Sarah twice, and she provided vague, yet falsely reassuring updates about the case’s progress.
It became apparent that they may not have taken any real action on our behalf. We were told that Mr. Kando had allegedly attempted to negotiate with the construction company, but no documentation or evidence of these communications was ever presented to us. By August 2024, nearly nine months later, we confronted Mr. Kando in person after he had avoided us for so long. During this meeting, he informed us that the case was not successful, contradicting his initial optimism and showing little concern for the outcome or for the fact that we had trusted him with our money and our case.
Overall, our experience with this law firm was highly unprofessional, and we felt misled and ignored after they were paid. I would strongly advise caution when considering their services.

Took over 7 years to settle my lawsuit and he took too large a portion of the settlement amount. Out of $140000 he took $90000. After the settlement he showed up with a new Jaguar after he had told me that he needed money for his sons college expenses. I do not reccomend this attorney.
.Never produced expenses or contingent agreement.

His office called me to come in. I was under the assumption he was going to go over case and what he was going to do in my best interest for my case. enter office he ask me one question I had all ready answered numerous times, ask me if I had any Questions, I told him a concern I had that could effect my case and he dismissed my concern that I knew would be a big part of my case. This all took about 10 to 15 min top. From then on he shot the breeze about Politics and small talk. Charged me by the hour to shoot the breeze with him. I lost all trust and dropped my case. He also charges everything in lawyer price, there is no lower cost for what assistant do. Everything is bundled at top dollar lawyer fee. He also showed very poor judgment in my case overall.

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.

- Ensure regulatory compliance with local, state, and federal laws.

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.

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. -

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.
