Jason assisted us in getting our trademark published and devised an ingenious solution to overcome the initial rejection from the USPTO. His extensive knowledge, clear guidance, and genuine interest in our business made the process seamless. He also helped us resolve an issue amicably when another business filed an opposition to our trademark registration. I highly recommend his services!

Working with Jason was a real pleasure. He was both very personable and professional. Instead of meeting with a stranger, I almost felt like I was having a casual, yet serious, conversation with a family member. He took care of my issue quickly and completely. Absolutely zero regrets or concerns, and I would recommend him to anyone (including my real family)!

I was recommended to Don by a mutual friend (and long-time client) and it was an instant match. Don immediately put me at ease with his extraordinary knowledge base and demeanor. We’ve already done several major projects together, and I know Don has us covered from every angle. Contracts, partnership agreements, and litigation are just a few of the directions we’ve traveled together. Don’t hesitate to hire this man.

Don has been there for us through all of the trying times there can be in a successful business. Many people will see your assets as their retirement plan. Don has come to our defense time and again and we have never lost a case with him. He is the only attorney I have ever witnessed fight as hard for you to keep your assets as you did to earn them. He has also assisted us in setting up trusts, new companies as we have grown, and provided advise on many different fronts. He has 35 years of experience so there isn't much he hasn't seen. If you need someone, and it's important to you, I would recommend Don Budman. He won't tell you what you want to hear, he will tell you what the next step is and what we are going to do about it.

Looking for an attorney.... Look no further. Without reservation I highly recommend Monoc Law firm (Charleston SC), and feel honored to pen this review for an outstanding, AMAZING attorney as Katie Monoc. This review will appear be over the top. Well, Katie deserves nothing short of an over-the-top review based on the services she provides. I met Katie after an injury in 2019, when I made the best decision ever to select her as the attorney for my injury case. Katie kept me informed regarding the process and she made no promises as to the possible outcome of my case until she had all the information needed to make a clear, concise, and appropriate assessment to damages. Katie is not just knowledgeable, honest, and caring but very methodical in how she proceeds with her cases. Having candid conversations with Katie, I learned that she does not work for herself, but she does work tirelessly for her clients.
MONOC LAW FIRM IS “BEST” #katiemonocisamazing

Katie is great! Not only did she work hard on my case, she also worked quickly to get the matter resolved. In the end I received a result I was pleased with in a shorter time frame than it easily could’ve taken. Her knowledge of the law is evident and she is also great as a person. Call Katie!

Our company is truly blessed to have found Ellis. When we were referred to him, we had struggled for over two years to reach a settlement agreement with a surety company.
Ellis eagerly took our case and jumped right in. He is extremely thorough and aggressive with defendants, and it is obvious he works (at any hour of the day or night) to achieve maximum results for us. He maintains constant communication and ALWAYS responds to an e-mail or phone call in a timely manner. Ellis explains legal terms and actions thoroughly to help us better understand the process. He is well organized, and he does not use our time or resources frivolously. In the surety bond case, he produced overwhelming results within a few months. To say we were thrilled with both Ellis and the results is an understatement.
Even though Ellis possesses tremendous work ethic, it is his heart that separates him from the rest. Ellis treats us like a part of his family, expressing genuine concern for our personal and professional well being. We have given Ellis tremendous accolades in our business community and continuously recommend him to our peers. We are excited to partner with him for years to come.

It seems to me from my experiences that most lawyers are in it only for the money and could care less about their clients well being... they just want to get paid, even if getting paid puts their clients in bad financial situations. Its hard to find a lawyer that not only works hard on your case but cares about their clients as well. Christopher Inglese works hard for his clients. He will do his best to go above and beyond. He does his research, finds the facts, and the best solutions. He has been my lawyer since 2011. He worked on my divorce case which would have been difficult for any lawyer to take on due to all the defendant had been doing to me (harassment, abuse, theft, destruction of property, and so on). Throughout all my ex husband had been putting me through, my lawyer was there every step of the way to get me through the toughest times of my life. He speaks the truth. He will work with you as best as he can. I am thankful to have such a great lawyer and his firm by my side throughout my case. Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer/firm.

Our HOA board recently hired Justin to be our new attorney. For the past three years, we have been having more and more problems relating to our community lake that we do not own. In the less than one month that Justin has been representing our board, he has advised us and resolved issues that we have been struggling with not only about the lake on which we live, but he has also advised us on questions that we have had about possible changes to our CCER (Covenants, Conditions, Easements and Restrictions). Not only has he done so quickly, but he has saved our HOA board a great deal of money.

I hired Evan about 4 years ago due to a proposed assessment by the IRS against me. He worked diligently to clear my name with the IRS taking the case through the appeals process before finally winning. While the entire process was stressful for my family and I, Evan guided me through the process, clearly explained his strategies, and constantly updated me on the status of the case. I was speechless after seeing the work he presented to the IRS. He is a true proffesional and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

She has handled a real estate matter for me and a probate matter for our family, even though these are not her typical areas of practice. She did excellent jobs on both of them. Her biggest fault is that she does not brag on herself. Ms. Moise is a spectacular attorney, respected by federal and state judges and lawyers across South Carolina. She is the past president of the University of South Carolina Board of visitors and teaches at both the USC and Charleston Schools of Law. She has an AV Martindale ranking and has been awarded the Compleat Lawyer Award for excellence by the USC School of Law. Ms. Moise was voted the most outstanding student by her law school class, where she was Editor of the Law School. These are just a few of the many things she has done. You can rest assured that when she handles a legal matter, she will handle it in a professional and passionate manner.

Like many folks who find themselves in an unexpected legal situation, I needed help fast. I was fortunate to find Michael Sahn on a Sunday morning.

Mr Sahn and his firm are exceptional. Mr Sahn took my first phone call personally and spent some time explaining my options and what to expect during the DUI process. Each time I had a question, he always responded same day and in many instances within the same hour. Mr Sahn obtained an exceptional result for me and I strongly encourage anyone needing legal representation to utilize him and his firm. I could not be more grateful for all his guidance and my result. All my best

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:
-
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. -
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.
