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.

I worked with Ted in the corporate world for many years and have worked with two franchise companies (one my own) that engaged Ted. Throughout, Ted is as good as it gets. He truly understands what franchising is about from both the franchisor and franchisees' perspective and is able to provide top notch advice and counsel on all facets of franchise law, regulation and management. Ted has lived franchising for +30 years and helped forge much of the current franchise model.

I have known and used Ted for Legal work for almost 20 years. We have faced some of the most trying times together in some of Franchising's most important case law. What I have consistently found from Ted was a strong tacticians who used his knowledge of the law along with the relevant facts to chart the best course for success. Ted has developed over 40 FDD disclosure forms ( or their equivalent over time) for Meineke alone and has also done the work for multiple other brands including Maaco, Econo Lube and Tune, Mesquito Hunters, Aero Colours, Drive N Style, AutoQual and others. Clearly I go beyond client and friend to Fan of Ted and his ethical style and immense talent.

Kelsey was very helpful to us. We live in a different state and were trying to collect on a judgment against some people who had moved to NC. Kelsey was good to explain the process and help us weigh our options. She also tried to be as cost-efficient as possible - which was much appreciated! She was always very nice and made me feel like she was watching out for our best interests. I highly recommend her.

Our HOA has retained Diana for approximately 2 years. We have had more than our share of opportunities to engage her services beyond the typical day in the life of an HOA! We have found her to be brutally honest, spot on with her assessments and never self-serving with her advice. She has always advised the most cost effective and reasonable path to resolution as a default! Diana is uber smart, incredibly savvy with understanding finances. In simple terms, she is a warm hearted compassionate attorney. A rare combination!

After consulting with Diana about the many HOA issues in our neighborhood, the Board decided she was the right attorney for the job. With a neighborhood that was approximately 59% delinquent and inappropriate use of funds by the prior Board members, we knew it was going to be a challenge. With Diana's direction on demand letters, liens and court litigations, the neighborhood is back on track. We recovered the majority of money from the inappropriate use from the prior Board members, all past HOA dues are current with the exception of one, and many neglected issues have been corrected! What an accomplishment after years of struggle for this entire neighborhood! All this could not have been done without Diana's help. We are so grateful to her and Rogers, Townsend & Thomas, PC for a job well done!

Working as a Duo at her Firm Gilbert & Rivera, Jennifer and Kernisha, delivered more than what I ever expected, and kept me informed through all the steps on the way.
Kernisha and Jennifer have a passion for their work and it shows as they successfully reach the goals they committed too.

I can't recommend Ben Frear enough! He's hands down the best E2 lawyer I've encountered. I talked to few before choosing him, and I'm so glad I did. Ben's deep understanding of E2 visa requirements was evident from the start. He broke down the complex process into manageable steps, easing my anxiety.
Ben was instrumental in putting together and ensuring all my documents were flawless even though my case wasn't very strong. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how trivial. His responsiveness and dedication were truly impressive.
Thanks to Ben's expertise and hard work, I got my E2 approved without any issues and am now ready to embark on my entrepreneurial journey in the US. If you're looking for an E2 visa attorney, look no further. Ben is the one!

Adam Tan assisted Woody Connette with legal documents/issues regarding my husband's recent death. I found Adam to always be very informed, compassionate, and approachable. I needed a Widows Allowance in order to sell my husband's truck. The bank holding the title and the car dealer (who was buying the truck back) did not appear to have knowledge of this document and what it represented. Adam took the time to not only call the dealer, but also get on the phone with me and the dealer to explain. Eventually, with his patients and diligence the sale was worked out. When you have circumstances where there is an immediate, unexpected death, a client needs help from someone who has legal knowledge and compassion! I found that in Adam.

She took something that wasn’t working and brought her creative brilliance and more importantly, her never say no brand of determination forward and carried us over the finish line in just having her for this last year on a project that has taken us ten long years from start to finish! We are now able to launch our project to the world. We hold deep gratitude for our dear Elizabeth for helping to get us to this final point.

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.
