My husband and I had consulted with the attorneys here. I must say, they did a stellar job. Before getting on the call, they were prepared: they had reviewed all of our paperwork and was able to provide very useful advice as to what steps we should take to get our matter resolved. Before consulting with the firm, I had plenty of restless nights, but after consulting with them, I was able to sleep again. They gave us peace of mind. We love them. They are very knowledgeable in what they do.

In my initial meeting with Mrs. Zeringue I was met with professionalism, yet kindness, and understanding. Mrs. Zeringue listened intently while I was explaining my current situation. Her calmness and confidence won me over immediately. She was very informative, and lead me through the process with understanding and compassion.
Her entire staff was available at all times, and calmed my fears.
I can't even begin to express my gratitude for Mrs. Zeringue's outstanding representation of my case.
I highly recommend Zeringue & Associates and her team for their abundant knowledge of their expertise in their field of law.

Richard Traina has done an excellent job representing me in 6 cases now (5 at the same time!). His presence and organization in the courtroom is very impressive, and the judge seems to be attentive as a result of his professionalism. Through all of the tough times that one will experience in a lawsuit, Richard is able to maintain a good sense of humor, which makes this "complex experience" of lawsuits more palatiable.

Dominick Latino is our company's lawyer. He helped us write our contracts and most recently helped us collect on $3000.00 of bad debt. He keeps us informed of changes in the law that would effect our company. He is our "go to" for legal advice and when you call, he always calls you back.

John Toerner is honest, knowledgeable and particularly competent in his fields of expertise, estate planning and tax specialist. Although I live in Baton Rouge, I travel to John's office in Covington for guidance and he has helped me in various matters of law. I have informed by sons to contact John anytime they need legal assistance or guidance. Where many attorneys charge outrageous hourly rates, John's hourly rates are quite reasonable and his services are worth much more than the cost.
If you need an honest and reasonable attorney, John Toerner is the attorney to contact. I make this statement is total honesty.

John assisted us with a family business involving inheritances. John went back to documentation from 30 years ago and I think even further than that. He dealt with parishes outside of Jefferson and Orleans and was very thorough and detail oriented. He even looked into some items in Mississippi for us. He systematically worked through all the contracts/documentation and pin-pointed missing items and then developed a strategic plan to obtain the missing items. We were extremely pleased with John's services and would use him again for any legal matter.

Mr. Fos represented my son last year after an auto accident. My son had just turned eighteen, and it would have been very easy for the insurance company to take advantage of his inexperience. Mr. Fos protected his interests, and helped him get a settlement appropriate for the injuries he suffered.
The experience seemed terrifying to him initailly, but Mr. Fos treated my son with respect, and shepherded him through the process. I am so grateful for his professionalism, knowledge, and experience.

Cecily has been a true lifesaver on multiple occasions for my family! I have never worked with a finer lawyer. She has handled multiple successions, set up an LLC, dealt with oil and mineral rights, handled lawsuits, and just, in general, answered legal questions for my family since 2016. She is graceful, tactful, hardworking, intelligent, and kind. I cannot praise her highly enough!

Jeanne Mauldin is an amazing attorney. She helped us after a car wreck that left our car totaled and that also resulted in personal physical injuries. Initially we were very stressed, but once we called her, that anxiety was lifted. She handled everything. Car rentals, car seat replacements, medical appointments, and what would have been countless hours on the phone with insurance companies. We never once felt like we were being taken advantage of because she was advocating for us. Jeanne worked hard to get us a fair settlement. She is smart, caring, and professional. We can’t recommend her enough.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Michael Capdeboscq for my recent legal matter, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with his services. From start to finish, Michael demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication.
Michael was consistently clear and concise in his explanations, making complex legal concepts easy to understand. He was incredibly responsive to all my queries, often getting back to me within hours. His transparency about the legal process and associated costs was much appreciated, and he always kept me informed about any developments in my case.
Thanks to Michael’s hard work and strategic approach, my case was resolved successfully, and the results exceeded my expectations. His ability to navigate complex legal issues and negotiate effectively was key to securing a positive outcome.
Michael provided a clear and detailed breakdown of his fees from the outset, ensuring there were no surprises. The value I received from his services far exceeded the cost, and I felt that the fees were very reasonable for the quality of representation provided.
Working with Attorney Michael Capdeboscq was a truly positive experience. His combination of legal expertise, exceptional client service, and professional integrity made her stand out as an outstanding attorney. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone in need of legal representation and would not hesitate to engage his services again in the future.

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.
