Ryan may not be the cheapest out there but you get what you pay for. He does family law and many of these other guys do all kinds of stuff but Ryan focuses on getting results for his clients. He has had my back when I have had to do some very non-traditional and oftentimes white knuckle things to protect my daughter and he even got a BS CPO put on me dismissed with prejudice. This case is far from over but I have known Ryan as a friend before a being a client and he is for sure a family man and a great dad and is the man you want in your corner. He comes in no BS and straight to the point and very well prepared and makes sure your butt is covered and you are prepared for what you are about to face. He has an amazing demeanor in court and knows how to connect with the judges and also is a master of cross examination.

I had to file chapter 7 Bankruptcy for reasons beyond my control.
No one would like to file chapter 7 unless it is the last resort.
I was looking for an attorney to help me with this process
I called Allen Stovall Neuman Law Firm and I was introduced to Tom
Tom Shafirstein is a young upcoming attorney who is really interested in helping the client
He listened to my situation with patience and made me feel really comfortable.
Any question he could not answer, he would ask Jim and replied to me right
away and he is always available for his clients within five minutes.
He puts his clients first
If anyone is looking for an attorney for any legal matters, please call Tim first and
he will make sure that you come out okay
I want to wish Tom all the best and he will definitely be a good
attorney that you can count on

Phil advised and helped me with my trust and will for over a decade. He is honest, knowledgeable and an expert at what he does. His staff is kind and helpful as well. Although phil is a seasoned attorney and priced as such, it is well worth it. He works quickly, effectively, and is able to efficiently use his time, that you end up spending less than expected. He is extremely fair. I feel fortunate to have such an intelligent attorney, that has the sensitivity to go along with these very touchy issues.

Mr. Kaltenbach has represented my business's for close to 5 years. He has shown extreme competence no matter the task. He is very detail oriented which benefits us when he writes our contracts or reviews contracts for our various deals.
When it comes to conflict resolution, Mr. Kaltenbach has managed to resolve all issues keeping us out of court on many occassions. He has saved us money and kept our stress levels to a minimum when issues have come up. It is such a comfort to have someone you can trust take care of problems that would otherwise distract you from your core competency.
I do not hesitate to recommend Mr. Kaltenbach as an attorney, and in fact have done so to many of my associates.

Excellent Attorney - wrote contracts, analyzed agreements, some litigation on real estate matters (in her past she argued appellate cases and cases before the Ohio Supreme Court, which was interesting but not pertinent to her work for me). She has integrity, works hard and is pleasant to work with.

My wife and I were planning a trip out of town by ourselves and realized we had not updated our wills or trust in 20 years (from other state). During that time we had more kids and many changes. Before our trip, we wanted to get all new estate documents done to protect our children.
The trip was three weeks away and I searched for referrals from friends and couldn't find someone who seemed solid and could produce a new trust, wills and other documents that fast. I found Jane on this site and contacted her.
Within two weeks, we were in her office signing the documents that met all of our needs perfectly. She kept in constant touch throughout the process and made changes as we asked specific questions.
Jane was very professional and made it an easy experience.

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.
