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.

I hired him to represent me in a civil dispute. He built a strong case, and dealt firmly with the other side. The end result: opposing counsel came to us with an acceptable settlement offer.
Awesome lawyer.

These attorneys are great attorneys but also great people. They helped work with me on payments and they're very understanding of life's ups and downs and understand if I'm going to make a payment late. I actually enjoy talking to the people who work there.

I had no idea how to add people on as contractors for my business. Was completely lost in the process. Ended up finding Drew and his team on google and they were able to help me avoid the headache of trying to figure it all out on my own. Extremely fast, professional, and helpful.

Attorney Stahler did a fantastic job representing my interest in the installation of an AEP power line on my property in rural Southern Ohio. He patiently educated me on the details and often onerous nature of eminent domain law and always provided prompt and accurate advice. Thanks to his good work we were able to secure a payment nearly twice the power company's original offer. I highly recommend Attorney Strahler and his firm in all matters of eminent domain law.

First I would like to say when dealing with big companies and ones that are in the public utilities area......and they leave notices at your house and send mail with words like imminent domain, leases, right aways, and overhangs on/or about your property it becomes uncomfortable and a little uneasy. Well at about the same time we receive a hand out via by mail with GBSK on it. As the time passed and we kept getting notices from AEP with what I will call low-ball settlement offers to sign a contract for part of our property I reached out to our personal attorney. As we talked about what was going to be happening he told us that it was really not the part of law he focused on but I did ask him about GBSK and he had actually knew of them and recommended them. Our attorney told us that we would be represented in the best way possible in this situation.
Fast forward 6 months or so and what a relief it was, we were given the opportunity to be represented by this law firm, Mr. Kenter handled our case. We not only received a positive outcome, we gained what I will call a very good phone and email friend(because of distance)! The working atmosphere in my opinion must be 2nd to NO one at GBSK because everyone we dealt with, talked to, or emailed with had an exceptional attitude, was very respectful, and was patient to our wants, needs, and questions. A+ job to GBSK and Mr. Kenter our case handler!!!!
I reccomend this firm for not only these reasons, but their public utilities knowledge when dealing with the big boys like in our case (AEP).
SINCERELY,

I don't know how he did it, but Bernard managed to make the experience of doing our wills painless and somehow enjoyable. He was very responsive and professional. We were able to do everything through phone calls and emails, and then visited his beautiful office for the socially distanced signings. We had put off this task for YEARS, and are now so relieved to have it completed!

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.
