I needed to secure non-profit status for my l and had heard that it can be difficult to be approved on the first try. Often, paperwork is sent back to be redone. However, Peggy Fallin did the work for my 501c3, and we were approved on the first try!

I've used David on several occasions, primarily to handle an injury lawsuit which turned out to be very successful, and later to set up my will, power of attorney, living will, and several other legal documents that were required to manage my estate. He has always acted and performed in a professional and helpful manner and exceeded my expectations in handling my legal work. I would recommend him highly, especially in light of my experience with a couple of attorneys in years past that didn't turn out satisfactorily..

I met with Mr. Vrana in early 2020 in order to go over some zoning issues I encountered, and to do see if he could handle the litigation between myself and the third party. He was very knowledgeable and up-front about all my options. He knew a lot and anything he didn’t know he took notes to ensure he did his research and due diligence.

I hired Mr. Hays in 2011, when his office was located in Colleyville TX, for probate law. He has since moved to Dallas. Overall I was pleased with his work on my behalf and he is really good about asking the right questions that pertain to your issues.

The positive reviews are fake.. This attorney is a scam artist. He collected almost 10,000 dollars from me and instead created so much issues for me. He sent out a NOTICE TO VACATE to my tenant and didn't include the reason for the NOTICE TO VACATE. I ended up getting sued by the tenant and lost the case as a wrongful eviction because the Judge stated that I needed to always give reasons for a notice to vacate. Please avoid this attorney as much as you can or you will be the next person writing a negative review warning others to avoid after taking a huge loss.. Expect an invoice diligently but good luck getting him to respond to your questions or requests (he plays the game of filing motions to continue this way he can bill you at least 500 - 1000 a month minimum plus other "expenses.")
I reported him to the State Bar and no action was taken against him. Don't be the next victim, pay attention and read the negative reviews and not the fake paid positive reviews, or sadly you will be next..
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

John and his team were such a big help. Our home went into foreclosure by our HOA and due to whatever reasoning we weren’t notified until it was already sold. We had no idea what to do when we got referred to John, he spent over an hour on the phone trying to fully understand our situation and help us figure out what we could do to save our home. I would recommend this firm to anyone in need of a real estate lawyer.

I called them to get help with my Will through Metlife Legal. The gentlemen who answered got a whole lot of info from me and finally said he has no availability next week. I asked if he could schedule for later. He then said he has no availability until end of May. And that I should call back later. He had no idea when later. Also, If they are booked solid for the next 2 months and won't take any more appointments, why waste my time asking all the questions that he did? It was super shady and I will be providing this feedback to Metlife Legal as well.
I soon after called Kazi Law Firm. The lady who answered was super efficient, spent just a few minutes, and had something scheduled for this week to get my work started.

Contacted Ms. Fox's office to set up multiple wills/advanced directives. Had a telephone appointment that we thought would be with her, but was with an assistant. The assistant took all of our info to do the wills and said that she would send them for review. Never heard back from anyone. Ended up doing our wills through another law office.

Thousand words or thousand thanks would not be enough to express my gratitude to Ms. Fox. Her professionalism, her knowledge, her patience, and help with my case, that has been so complex and difficult, have been enormous. Ms. Fox, has been like an angel sent by God to me, without her help I would have lost all my rights in my custody and child support case and would not have know what to do.

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.
