Huge Law Firm with a few bad eggs. Watch out for Attorney Brian Perry out of Cincinnati, OH. Brian's special skill is setting up Upper Encelon Workers Compensation Fraud Rings. I know from first-hand experience. Mr. Perry is willing to bend or outright break laws to help his clients win Injury Claims. I am still injured 2 years after I was injured, Ironworking and fighting my claim. Brian has, unfortunately, forgotten there are Rules/Laws he has to uphold. I am going to make sure Mr. Perry is held accountable for his Unlawful Participation that landed me living in my SUV for the past 15 months. All while having a serious spinal injury. I don't deserve nor any Injured Worker should be forced to combat against Bad Faith and Fraudulent Inducement to prove their Injury.

I knew the process would be slow, but they kept in contact and walked me through everything. They were compassionate the entire time, especially through the period where I became homeless (not related), and made sure to keep me in the loop that entire time. I would absolutely recommend Burg Simpson to anyone looking for a law firm. They will treat you with respect and care as a client.

Unfortunately my husband had a failed medical device and after speaking with a few lawyers we were directed to Burg and Simpson. Thank goodness! They know exactly what they are doing, behaved completely professional, we’re kind and kept us up to date constantly. I would recommend this law office is a heartbeat! Thank you for all the support!Catherine

Carrie Waide did an incredible job with my daughter's custody case.
Her expertise, dedication, and compassion were unwavering, and ultimately resulted in a favorable outcome for my daughter.
Carrie was extremely responsive, proactive, and prioritized my daughter's well-being throughout the process. I really couldn't have asked for a better attorney to represent us through one of the most difficult times in our lives.
Her experience as a magistrate gives her a unique perspective in advising clients in both litigated and collaborative matters.
Carrie truly takes the time to understand her clients’ goals and interests to assess their needs to determine an appropriate course of action to reach the best possible outcome for their family.
I'm immensely grateful for Carrie's guidance and highly recommend her to anyone seeking representation in family court.

This past year to year and a half I have had a lot of issues with my ex-wife. To the point that I filed numerous motions of contempt against her and she filed 1 against me. Ultimately we were told to find the services of a GAL to try and help figure out what is best for the children. The GAL we had could not be bothered to verbally speak to teachers at the children's schools even though she was asked to numerous times. When she finally did reach out to the school to verbally speak to anyone she still didn't speak to the teachers that were asked of her. Instead she sent questionnaires based on what she thought should be asked I guess. I called this GAL numerous times and left voicemails without a single call back. I feel as though the GAL was extremely bias as in she kept putting in her reports that she understands why mom feels this way or she can see the reasons behind this but completely disregarded anything mom did to dad. The GAL didn't even call witnesses until right before the original report was due and didn't put any of this in the report but I guess she only did the calls so she could say she did and bill for it. My ex-wife and I had to go through mediation per court order in which the GAL talked about being professional with the mediator and said that we need to reply within 24 hours of messages. According to this our GAL is unprofessional. The GAL tried to change my schedule even though mom works from home and has an extremely flexible job where as I don't and i have a rotating day job. The day of court my ex-wife sent me a message that was completely inappropriate and the GAL came and talked to me saying i need to be more clear with what I need even though I asked for the whole bill that i need to see exactly what this is for (obviously a bill that we had to share the cost of.) I would not recommend this law firm for anything if they operate anything like the GAL did. The GAL didn't have where my son was born correctly in the report, called me by a different name at one point in the report, and just didn't seem to be bothered with actually getting any information from third parties or myself. Lack of communication, professionalism, and the inability to look for whats best for the children was truly sad.

This past year to year and a half I have had a lot of issues with my ex-wife. To the point that I filed numerous motions of contempt against her and she filed 1 against me. Ultimately we were told to find the services of a GAL to try and help figure out what is best for the children. The GAL we had could not be bothered to verbally speak to teachers at the children's schools even though she was asked to numerous times. When she finally did reach out to the school to verbally speak to anyone she still didn't speak to the teachers that were asked of her. Instead she sent questionnaires based on what she thought should be asked I guess. I called this GAL numerous times and left voicemails without a single call back. I feel as though the GAL was extremely bias as in she kept putting in her reports that she understands why mom feels this way or she can see the reasons behind this but completely disregarded anything mom did to dad. The GAL didn't even call witnesses until right before the original report was due and didn't put any of this in the report but I guess she only did the calls so she could say she did and bill for it. My ex-wife and I had to go through mediation per court order in which the GAL talked about being professional with the mediator and said that we need to reply within 24 hours of messages. According to this our GAL is unprofessional. The GAL tried to change my schedule even though mom works from home and has an extremely flexible job where as I don't and i have a rotating day job. The day of court my ex-wife sent me a message that was completely inappropriate and the GAL came and talked to me saying i need to be more clear with what I need even though I asked for the whole bill that i need to see exactly what this is for (obviously a bill that we had to share the cost of.) I would not recommend this law firm for anything if they operate anything like the GAL did. The GAL didn't have where my son was born correctly in the report, called me by a different name at one point in the report, and just didn't seem to be bothered with actually getting any information from third parties or myself. Lack of communication, professionalism, and the inability to look for whats best for the children was truly sad.

Carrie Waide did an incredible job with my daughter's custody case.
Her expertise, dedication, and compassion were unwavering, and ultimately resulted in a favorable outcome for my daughter.
Carrie was extremely responsive, proactive, and prioritized my daughter's well-being throughout the process. I really couldn't have asked for a better attorney to represent us through one of the most difficult times in our lives.
Her experience as a magistrate gives her a unique perspective in advising clients in both litigated and collaborative matters.
Carrie truly takes the time to understand her clients’ goals and interests to assess their needs to determine an appropriate course of action to reach the best possible outcome for their family.
I'm immensely grateful for Carrie's guidance and highly recommend her to anyone seeking representation in family court.

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.
