It was an absolute pleasure to work with Christian! My case drug on for nearly two years and I wanted to give in multiple times. Christian encouraged me to not give up and gave sound advice on how to keep proceeding. He was very clear with how my case was proceeding and forwarded all emails/correspondence from the opposing counsel to keep me well informed of what was going on. I most definitely would not have been able to do what he did on my own and I am forever grateful for his very professional help through a very trying time of life.

Words fall short in expressing my gratitude for Christian. With great dignity and care, Christian worked to help me navigate a long and emotional parenting time matter. Throughout all the work on my case, Christian remained transparent, honest, and always gave attention to detail. I never wanted to have to take the road through the courts, unfortunately circumstances called for legal support and I am very grateful I chose Christian to represent me. I highly recommend Christian's services.

Profitt law is one of the best HOA Law firms in the northwest. I have worked with other firms and finally found a home with Profitt law. Kathleen and Vicky are amazing they make you feel like you are their only client when you stop by or when you call. Working with this firm isn’t like any other firm, some firms that are large you feel like they provide a service and send you a bill. This firm makes you feel like they are here for you and only you; they make you feel like you are important and they are your HOA partner. After working with Profitt Law for almost a year now I can honestly say I am a customer for life! If you and your board want a law firm that is there for you, always has your HOA in the best interest and you want someone you can trust then choose Profitt Law you won’t be sorry!

I found this attorney to be extremely knowledgeable in her specific area of expertise, i.e. condo law, in addition to being extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the general practice of law.
She was also very responsive as I was always able to reach her when needed to discuss various aspects of the case. and she kept me totally informed at all times.
She listened to what I had to say about the case and we had a very co-operative and mutual exchange of ideas as, unlike many other attorneys with whom i have worked with, she realized that the client knows more about his or her case than anyone else; and ,therefore is someone whom the attorney should listen to.
I was extraordinarily impressed with her knowledge of all of the facts of the case and the law and her willingness to "dig" for all of the pertinent facts and law.
One aspect of her handling of the case that most impressed me was her willingness to go the extra mile and learn about other matters that were going to have an impact on the case. She did whatever it took to make certain that we would prevail.
She was unquestionably willing to stand up for my rights in the most difficult of circumstances when many another lawyer would have backed off. But she also knew when to compromise and work with the opposition at the right time to amicable settle the case. In other words, her judgment skills were impeccable--- something that is not taught in law school and that is lacked by many an attorney.
Finally, although not really of any consequence when compared with making certain one wins and everything else that is involved with litigation, she was very reasonable with her legal fees.
I was extraordinarily impressed with this attorney on all levels and would very highly recommend her to anyone.

Hiring Conrad was clearly the right choice. He was prompt, professional, and resolved my case in my favor quickly and efficiently. Not only that, but he put up with my many after hours phone calls and emails, going out of his way to answer all of my (admittedly excessive) questions.

Conrad is proactive in understanding the case, and constructing and communicating a straightforward game plan. His knowledge of the law, attention to detail, provision of a timeline with periodic updates, including next steps and what to expect, put me at ease throughout the process. Conrad collaborated with other colleagues for additional expertise whenever the case veered a direction beyond the scope of his daily practice. When unforeseen obstacles surfaced, Conrad met them head on with calm, intelligent redirect to the law and desired resolution. His writing and articulation are clever and strong; he is distinctly professional, but by no means a pushover. He is laser focused on the best outcome for his client. You can’t find a better lawyer.

Conrad won an extremely complicated real estate case for us at jury trial out of town, which was a terrifying experience; then successfully navigated the process for us when they appealed. Calm, focused, professional and respected by the judges. Highly recommend Zubel PC without hesitation. Areas of the law he has helped us tremendously with: real estate, rescission, land sale contracts, insurance policy review & claims, DEQ, dealing with a dishonest commercial lender.

I was extremely impressed with the Perkins firm and could not be more grateful for Shelly Perkins, as she recently helped a very close friend win a custody battle for his son. She was professional, compassionate and extremely dedicated to this case. She took the time to thoroughly understand the situation and fought tirelessly to ensure the best outcome for the child. Her knowledge of family law and attention to detail was evident every step of the way. I highly recommend the Perkins firm!

Shelly is an amazing lawyer. We sat in a court room for two full days watching her fight for my boyfriend’s uncle. She is so well spoken and right to the point. She’s is extremely trust worthy and I would use her as my own lawyer if needed. Cannot say enough good things about her.

Mark has been my attorney for over fifteen years. I have found him to be not only ecellent on fulfilling the above catigories but when he takes a case it's like the other person violated him personally. He has settled every case in the affirmative that he has taken for me. I would indeed recommend this man to represent anyone that wants a driven winner.

I think it’s time we identify which business's are profiting from our Judiciary system. I believe this Law firm gains more money from delaying court hearings.

Oliveros Law was a great advocate for a close friend going through a difficult, complicated domestic case involving custody. Oliveros staff were always supportive and suggested bringing in subject experts to assist. The costs for a medical expert, and a trial preparation expert were reasonable, and their advice was extremely helpful . Oliveros put a team together to support my friend, and it gave her the confidence she needed to pursue her case. The case is settled, but the relationship with Oliveros Law Group is ongoing.

I am a single case, so I can't speak to her broader treatment of clients, but I feel discarded and ignored. We went to her to get a revocable living trust. We initially waited 2 months to see her, due to her workload. I should have taken this as a sign. It's now been about 9 months since we finally signed our papers and we still don't have copies of them. She virtually never answers the phone, and never returns calls when I leave messages. I've sent 9-10 emails since May of 2018, and she has answered exactly 2 of them, both saying that she was sorry for being busy. The last one said she'd get back to us in a week... that was more than a month ago, and she's back to ignoring us. We gave up and are moving on to a new attorney. I'd really love to get copies of the paperwork we already paid for (in time, tears and cash), but I'm no longer holding my breath.
In terms of the quality of the work in creating the paperwork, I have every faith that she did diligent work. She asked lots of good questions and helped us think through many contingencies that we hadn't previously considered. In the 2 actual meetings we had with her, she displayed the kind of care I had hoped for, and was in fact why we chose her.
Unfortunately, after all of that... we have nothing to show for it. Since that last meeting in May of last year, we were so casually and so thoroughly discarded, you'd think she had retired. Because of this, I not only cannot recommend her, personally, but I must actively caution you against choosing her. It's not worth the frustration.

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.
