I have known Joe Flores for fifteen years, both as a Nurse Practitioner and an attorney. I have consulted with and hired him on several occasions. Joe is a man of integrity that will fight for you with the same diligence he would give his family.

I split up with my husband and had no income coming in. I applied for foodstamps and was working odd jobs. I reconciled with my husband a year later and got off aid. I never received a letter that the food stamp office wanted money back. 2 years later I was pulled over for a routine traffic stop and thrown in jail for days. i was terrified. Never having been in trouble I called a friend who had had similar problems on a warrant they knew nothing about. Joe Flores was on the job in one hour. We had bail and after 3 weeks of hard negotiations resolved the matter before trial. Restitution was made and I do not have a felony on my record which is what I was facing with prison time. If you need a lawyer who knows what is doing and that has a great reputation and is a powerful force on your side you need to call Joe. He will pick up the phone and text you back day or night. He has a legal staff led by Ms. Palacios who are superb and very caring. I hear so many bad things about lawyers on TV and the radio and in newspapers, but Joe Flores is not only an awesome lawyer, but he also is very very caring. I would recommend no one else in Corpus Christi. He is the best of the best. God bless he and his family always.

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time due to a friend's bad choice. We were taken in but my side of the story was not being heard. Joe took this case on and was in constant contact with my family to let them know that I was ok and keep them calm. He took the time to hear my side and assured me that I had a case to prove my innocence in this matter. I really appreciate his help and also his assistant Trish was so organized on everything I needed to be on top of for my case, she even assured my mother that everything would be ok. Im so thankful for the help he did for me, but also for my family. We are all very grateful.

Mr. Chapman represented us in a very long, drawn out and difficult case. He was extremely understanding and patient with us and worked so hard on our behalf. It is our opinion he was born to be a trial attorney. We would recommend him highly to anyone who asked...and in fact have already told a friend to give him a call.

I highly recommend the Flores Law Firm. The first time I met Atty. Joe Flores I could tell right away that he is very intelligent. When looking for an attorney we wanted someone who doesn't just know the law but knows how to utilize and apply it. You definitely want the Flores team in your corner!

Well, this firm represented my spouse a few years back and while the receptionist was super professional, I was concerned to overhear two of the lawyer there discussing /sensitive client information in a general area for anyone to hear. My background deals heavily with HIPPA regulations and sensitive case subject matter. Our lawyer there was very helpful but when we asked for advice regarding our situation he couldn't pursue our case with the devotion and time restriction becaus e the older lawyers owning or managing the firm for reasons I decline to expand upon. The kind young atty who helps us has relocated to a new partnership.

She is not a blue collar lawyer, she could care less about your case unless you have large assets and sums of money even then I would be skeptical and hate to see what her fees would be. My case was supposed to be fast as I was told it, drug out for almost 8 months. When I called or sent text messages she acted as it was a huge inconvenience, she went on vacation or out of town throughout my case.
I have no children with my ex and I was completely taken to the cleaners, my ex took money from me up to the very last day and I had no say, when it was all done I was not even informed that my divorce was finalized. Read the reviews and do your research.
Worst part is she was recommended by people who do have money and wealth.

Absolutely loved our experience with Melody! She is very efficient -- we inquired with her on a Monday, paid her on Tuesday and papers were served by Friday. (She also had to locate the person so this timeliness shows how efficient she is!) She wasted no time, and SHE personally answers all questions and handles everything herself rather than delegating the real work to her assistants. I hope we never have to hire another family law attorney but in that case... I will always run to Melody Cooper! And anyone needing an attorney for family messiness, I highly recommend her!

Paid for consultation. Spoke highly of himself and insured his skills to help win a positive outcome on our case. Once hired requested 5000.00 up front. He said a portion would be refunded if the case did not go after full custody. Once hired he only texted back. Failed to call back and when he did he was rushing and rude. He often lost his temper while speaking. He showed up to court both times late and under dressed and wrinkled. He did not speak up for his client. He allowed miscommunication on our case. Aka let the other attorney and party make all recommendations and decisions. Never spoke up. All he did was agree to whatever they demanded. He failed to keep us posted. He never sent us any temporary orders. I had to look them up myself. When asked status of case he would deny any changes. I would then send him screenshots of updates I found in portals. He would lose his temper and say he wanted to quit our case after being questioned why he was putting out case on back burner. Never got any refunds back and we did not win and we never went back to court. We never got final decision signed by Judge. He stiffed us of our time, efforts and money.

Jeff helped me during the difficult time of a divorce after a 27 year marriage. His wonderful advice and excellent manner along with sound legal advice allowed for me to make the best of a very difficult situation. I have and will continue to refer family and friends to Jeff for all their family and business legal advice. In addition to helping me with my divorce, Jeff has assisted me with my business legal matters and once again, his professional manner and legal aptitude was exceptional!

Be very careful when dealing with attorney! Do not enter into any agreements with him verbal or written unless you are 100%. You do not want to be sued. Search his past court cases. Do research! If he does your probate planning be 100% certain he files your will, DOUBLE CHECK! If you sign anything from him or deal with him court DOUBLE READ everything! You dont want to be victim to a play on words. Everyone just be careful and watch out, may victimize people, if he feels he can gain more money. Does not have a good repuation in the Nueces Courts. Never trust this guy and never let your guard down with such a caniving attorney. Gives attorneys a bad name. Its sad

When I came to him with my case, which was a complete mess, he cleared everything that was in my case that was wrong. Different state had jurisdiction..ect. He helped me get my son back where he belongs. He made everything that went wrong, right, and for that my family and I are eternally grateful. He is a very caring, attentive, trustworthy lawyer and I recommend him to everyone I know!

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.
