I needed Jasons Help with a business licensing agreement and a merchandising agreement I was asked to sign. I am so glad I asked him to look at them because he found several things that needed to be changed in my favor and the best interest of both parties. If I didn't have Jasons help, I could have signed these agreements that would have been a big problem if I ever needed to dispute something court with the agreements. Jason was great at explaining to me, and the other parties involved what and why the changes are necessary.

Craig helped our family in so many ways! He went above and beyond to respond to text and phone calls. He was spot on with guidance and when he didn’t know the answer he found it and reported back in a timely manner. He was personable, respectful, and always allowed us to lead the way with prompting questions or topics that we didn’t even consider when fighting a battle that needed legal attention. 10/10 would recommend their firm!

I have know Craig Morgan since he was a sophomore in High School. His character and hard work is second to none. A lawyers' traits are usually wisdom, knowledge, and "out of the box" thinking. He has A+'s in all the aforementioned traits. What separates him from the herd is his integrity and character. The man has always been there for me and goes way out of his way to help me in anyway he can! I wish I had the leadership skills and work ethic he has. At the end of the day......if he says he will do something...you can count on it 100%!

I gave her copies of the insurance checks cashed by the contractor and also checks cashed by him for our portion of the contract such as insurance deductible.

He's a regular guy that explains the law jargon in plain English. I was involved in a suit case and I only had a certain amount to settle the case. His tactics were hard for me to understand at times but in the end case settled for the amount I told him was available to me. HE NAILED IT!

I'm a Developer/Broker in Uptown Charlotte & have contracted Ron several times this year. Ron has assisted me with several closings both personally and with clients. Ron is always prepared and detail oriented when going over all paper work; he takes the time to explain each document without the boring monotone legal jargon many other attorney's use that can be confusing. Ron has also drafted legal contracts for me at a reasonable price to help protect my interests in real estate investments. Unlike most attorney's Ron answers his phone or will call you back in a timely fashion. He's a great asset to have in your corner to discuss the legal situation you're inquiring about and he's quick to point out any potential liabilities that may arise. Ron always looks out for the best interest of his clients. I'd certainly recommend Ron for any real estate attorney needs.

I'm in-house counsel for a rapidly-growing private company. I came to Ron to assist us with a matter that is incredibly commercially sensitive and - if not handled properly - could potentially involve our trade secret and proprietary information being disclosed in the public domain. Ron jumped right in, asking insightful questions from the outset of the engagement that inspired confidence. He continues to earn my faith in him every day, as he quickly tackles these projects as they come up with close attention to detail and deadlines. He understands the sensitivity of the work he does for us, and is a consummate professional. He conducts himself in a respectful manner at all times, including with external parties with whom he often has to interface as it relates to our projects. He does quality work so quickly that I often have trouble keeping up with his output. As inside counsel, this is the best problem I could possibly have.

I had just moved from Florida and needed a lawyer. I had a traffic ticket and needed an attorney. I by chance googled attorneys in Charlotte and gave him a call. I’m so glad I did! This is a great man and lawyer. Treated my case as if it was first priority! Thank you Mr. Smith for such great care of my case!

Tim seemed to be genuinely concerned about my situation and my desire to fulfill my obligations, even though things haven't gone as planned lately. He really helped me understand what my options were - and he did it in a way that made me feel that he was going to bat for me. I am so thankful, and I'd recommend Tim to anyone who needs a helping hand.

Mr. Smith is highly unusual as an attorney. He could best be described as "old School". He is very kind and forms a personal relationship with his clients. He truly cares about the person as well as their case. He is a former judge and knows the inside scoop in Mecklenburg County Courts. He discussed with me all my options. Mr. Smith was able to handle my legal problem with results that exceeded my expectations.

I would highly recommend Liz from my experiences with her in the past year since I first saw her for a consultation. She has been a go-to for questions for me as a mental health therapist: she is always prompt in response, gets me the answers I need, and is also personable and easy to work with. For me, it's extremely important to have a lawyer not just from my liability insurance company because I know Liz will have my interests front and center. I also find it invaluable that she is well-versed in North Carolina laws - for me, these have involved everything from contract law to family law - as well as having familiarity with the specifics of mental health care. I am so pleased to have found her as a resource.

Liz Vennum was recommended to me by a friend and I am so grateful. From the time we first spoke, I could tell that she really cared about me as a person and not just a “client”. She set realistic expectations with me and we worked well together as a team. Liz is extremely knowledgeable, skilled and professional as well as empathetic and kind during what can be a stressful time. I was confident that I was in good hands with Liz from our initial consult to the completion of the case. It was so refreshing to experience how communicative Liz was throughout the whole process. This was most reassuring as she always responded to calls and answered my correspondence promptly as opposed to me feeling “out of the loop” which can be very disconcerting. Not the case at all with Liz. She is undeniably the best attorney I have ever worked with. She is stellar at her job. She provides expertise and professional knowledge as well as a personable and genuine personality. She treated me as more than just a “client.” She is definitely a cut above most professionals. She is compassionate and truly had my best interest at heart. Liz undoubtedly “went to bat” for me and I appreciate her. She not only does her job extremely well, she is passionate about her clients. I highly recommend her and I am confident that she will meet your needs to the best of her ability. Thank you Liz!

The team seem to work well together and respond in a timely manner. Liz (my assigned attorney) took the time to review material presented to her prior to our meeting; she was attentive and professional throughout the briefing. Shortly after our meeting Liz was able to correspond with employer and gained favorable advance towards my claim.

I run a small business out of Charlotte, NC. My knowledge of small business law is very limited. I was referred to Mr. Rex Morgan by a local patent attorney. Having a local attorney refer me to Rex said a great deal about Rex's reputation in the community. He is well liked and as professional as they come. Upon hiring Rex, I was immediately impressed by how polite and well spoken he was. His true excellence was in the court room when he defended our company as if it was his own. You could tell that Rex was not viewed your stereotypical lawyer. The judge appreciated the forward, level headed (not animated) tone that Rex took when defending us. He never became emotional and was always two steps ahead of the opposing side. Could not have asked for better representing counsel on behalf of our company. Thank you Rex Morgan!!!

I engaged Jim after a major investment firm froze all of my father’s assets, and subsequently the assets that I had with the firm as well. At 100 years of age my father had finally begun to succumb to a number of health issues. With diminished capacity as well as significant memory issues, he was declared incompetent. It was a very tough time for the family as you can imagine. My father had a revocable trust in place, and had removed the major investment firm as successor trustee the year before. The investment firm chose to ignore the provisions of the trust, and was not only cavalier about their actions but became virtually non-responsive. Jim engaged directly with the firm’s General Counsel and very appropriately got straight to the matter. Jim also engaged other members of his firm to assist, Christian Perrin specifically, and together they provided our family with excellent counsel and resolved all matters. The investment firm made things very complicated, but Jim resolved matters within 45 days. Jim’s approach was measured and extremely professional. His firm operates as a team, and we felt extremely well represented. Another member of the family is now likely to use their services for estate planning as well. I highly recommend Jim and the firm.

My family and I called on Jim 5 years ago to assist us in entering into a Guardianship for our brother, who was deemed medically and legally an Incompetent. Jim's knowledge of the State Guardianship laws, coupled with his excellent preparation of the case, took us through Mediation and final Court hearing with all considerations to the best interests of our brother. Jim continues to assist our family with legal advice and actions needed in light of the controversial events still taking place. My family and I highly recommend Jim for legal assistance with Guardianship proceedings.

I hired Mr. Wiggins when I had an idea for a Patent. He walked me through the process and was very clear on what I could expect. He worked just as hard as I did to get this Patent. I felt so supported throughout the entire experience. I appreciated his honesty, his diligence and hard work. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Mem's name and number came highly recommended by a friend of mine. We met in his office and I immediately knew that I was in good hands. We successfully registered for my Trademark and then filed 2 separate Patent Applications. Mem worked to help me with wording and researching the terms needed for the application of each patent filing. His meetings and follow-ups were always thorough and to the point. He is a fantastic communicator and no matter how little you know about the process, he makes it easy to understand. I consider Mem to be a partner and one of my most valuable assets because I can rely on him for direction and assistance in defining patent ability. I go to him for discussion before I go to my CAD and Machinist - his inputs have saved me both time and expense at the prototype stages.

Matthew M. Marcellino has shown a very professional and assertive approach since the first appointment, on the phone and from the other side of the world. He did not create any easy and false expectation. He prospected us how he would handle the case, why he wanted to follow that way and what would the best and realistic results be respectively. And the time was against us. We achieved what we factually proved to be truthful within the frame of law he proved to master; and for this he has our sincere moral reward for life.

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.
