Would I recommend hiring Don Bonner to represent you? Absolutely. I hired Mr. Bonner to represent me in a Criminal case and Divorce. Mr. Bonner had my best interest during both of these and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome! Also, the paralegal that works in the office was very helpful as well. Heather always kept me informed and has amazing communication. Don and Heather make a great team. They are worth your time when searching for legal help.

I cannot thank Burton Baker and his team enough for the exceptional service and guidance they provided me throughout the probate process. From the very beginning, Burton was incredibly compassionate, professional, and thorough in explaining every step of what can be an overwhelming and complicated process. His attention to detail and clear communication made all the difference, ensuring that I understood my options and was prepared for each phase of the process. Not only did Burton demonstrate an extensive knowledge of probate law, but he also went above and beyond to ensure that everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. His dedication to my case and the personal care he showed throughout the entire process truly exceeded my expectations. It was comforting to know that he would always pick up the phone when I called. If I could give him ten stars, I would! I am so grateful for his support and highly recommend the Law Office of Burton Baker to anyone in need of probate assistance!

Horrible so called Attorney! I would give negative stars if possible. Fast and ready there for me prior to getting my money for help filing for bankruptcy but after was delay and delay week after week after month after months! He had all my paperwork given to him and would never file with court??? Why? Always delayed. Said would finally have it ready to file but after about 12 months I asked for my $3000. back for still not filing. After brief argument with him for his failure to work he only refunded $1500. due to “him doing work on my behalf” - what work??? Nothing ever left his office! Front desk ladies were awesome and super helpful and apologetic about his duty- they should be attorneys and dump him. We were so backed up on bills it was ridiculous and got sued by creditors that didn’t have enough to hire another competent attorney. So 2 years now and I’ve got lawsuits up my rear for some so called attorney not doing his job. He was the worse mistake that happened to us. Thanks a lot Mr Powell for nothing.

Easy to get a hold of but slow to do anything. Litagation drags on for no apparent cause. He says he will do something by a certain date but it just does not happen. Very dissappointed but have already paid him over $13,000 so feel trapped.

Spends time on TikTok arguing about how much he knows about Star Wars during billable hours. Also unfamiliar with law and how it works, constantly unprepared, dismissive and rude. Even told me “this law thing may not work out”. That’s the lawyer people have hired, one who thinks it won’t work out. Edit 1-You used your official “Lawyer” account to promote racist views and use billable time that could've been used to help clients, and instead used it to claim you know more about Star Wars than other strangers. So please stop with the “you came from social media to attack me” rhetoric, you defamed your own firm and received the review you deserve. You even could have used a private account to do so, and you didn’t, but you’re welcome for that free advice.

23 years ago Mike Rogers and his staff helped me with a lengthy and difficult custody battle. The case would not be finalized until I had the baby I was carrying at the time the battle began. The legal staff as well as the attorneys were extremely helpful and efficient and in the end I was awarded custody of my son and daughter (who was born during the proceedings) I will always remember how good they all were to me. They all really cared and worked tirelessly on my behalf and I can't express how much I appreciated the care they showed me during my very difficult time. My kids are grown now and I couldn't be prouder. Thank you Mike for believing in me and my family.

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.
