I consulted with Maria Keller to work my custody case. She immediately put together a swift plan of action. Maria not only care about my case, but she care about me as a person. This lawyer sincerely cares about her clients. She wants the best outcome like any lawyer would, but she has very high level of empathy. If you want a lawyer that truly cares and is devoted to your "life" then hire Maria. I will always keep her in my speed dial.

Maria helped me so much with my divorce and made it go as smoothly as possible considering the other party was trying to fight back on everything. She was kind and listened to all my concerns, answered all my questions, and was able to help me and my ex spouse meet in the middle on everything. I would highly recommend her.

Neena was compassionate, responsive, patient, and all around a great attorney. It was a refreshing experience, as my attorneys in the past were hard to get in contact with and hard to get a response from. If I am in need of an attorney again, I will absolutely use Neena again. I can’t recommend her enough!

Margaret hired me as a business valuation expert in a difficult, contested, multimillion dollar case. She had her client's back and my back at every turn as she dismantled the opposing expert's work and set the stage for the case to succeed, carrying the ball into the end zone and achieving a far better result for her client than the settlement she had offered the other side before trial. Margaret is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her. Excellent.

I recently used The Fernandez Law Firm, A Business and Technology Law Firm for a hearing I had in Forsyth County. Ms. Fernandez, the Managing Partner, listened to the facts, and said: “Most lawyers would tell you to do X. I am going to tell you to do Z. Z will be faster, cheaper, and more likely to get you the results you want. And if it doesn’t get you your results, then you can still do X, but by doing Z, you will pay me less.” Ms. Fernandez then carefully prepared me for the hearing so that I would be comfortable and able to tell my story. She told me what the other side and the Judge would say, and how to counter it. She made me stay on strategy And then, I won! Ms. Fernandez was very straightforward, honest, ethical, and fair. She had such a strong courtroom strategy that I was surprised to find out that Ms. Fernandez is actually a business, technology, software and contracts lawyer. The work she did cost less than I would have expected, and saved me money. I would use The Fernandez Law Firm again, and I completely recommend The Fernandez Law Firm because the work is high quality.

I am beginning my review by stating that if you are in search of a professional, competent, conscientious, compassionate lawyer, then Kevin Tallant is most assuredly that person. When I found myself in need of legal assistance to obtain guardianship/ conservatorship for my aunt, who suffered from progressive dementia, I researched among community members to find the best legal representative for myself. I determined that Kevin Tallant, who had the reputation as an exceptional lawyer with expertise in probate law, was the lawyer for my needs. After working with Kevin for more than two years to acquire and manage the guardianship/ conservatorship for my aunt and, later, after her passing, to settle her estate, I can attest to the fact that he is an exceptional lawyer and human being. He ( and his very supportive staff ) were always an email or phone call away to provide me with legal advice, guidance and, in some instances, moral support. With Kevin's counsel, all probate court processes went extremely smoothly, which reduced my stress during this sometimes overwhelming life experience. Kevin kept me informed of court proceedings, updates and discussed legal options with me on a continuous basis. I can't imagine how I would have gotten through this period in my life without Kevin's valuable assistance. I would recommend Kevin to anyone treading through the complex, frustrating waters of the legal system.

Kevin did a masterful job of defending us in a lawsuit that could have cost us ten of thousands of dollars. We won a jury verdict which compensated us for our losses plus ALL our attorney fees, which is pretty much unheard of.
We would highly recommend him to anyone involved in litigation, whether they are a plaintiff or defendant involved in a lawsuit.

Mr. Ratz has represented me and my family in two different cases.
In each case he has been diligent about his work and prompt with action items.
I strongly recommend this lawyer to clients who expect a good result!
I feel that Mr. Ratz' effort made a difference in ensuring that justice was done.

Mr. Jim Hamilton is an excellent and knowledgeable attorney. I have always went to Mr. Hamilton with any legal issues that I have experienced, from criminal defense to family law. I owe a great deal to Mr. Hamilton for what he has done for myself and my family. Mr. Hamilton always kept his word and helped me to feel reassured in times of despair. Mr. Hamilton was also quick to defend during prosecution or objectionable testimony. I would most definitely recommend Mr. Jim Hamilton or anyone else in his firm for that matter. The Hamilton Law Firm is one that stands beside, supports, and defends their client 100%.

Jim Hamilton explained my entire situation to me in a way I could understand the legal issues. He took the time to explain the entire situation, gather the needed information for court and create a winning defense. He returned calls in a timely fashion and took the extra hands on time to help with my concerns. He addressed all concerns beyond what was needed to deal with the legal issues so I might have some peace of mind. This kind of professionalism and personal service is exactly what is needed in a legal action.

The Chanco and Hamilton firm was a great experience for me. Both were very knowledgeable and actually do care about you as an individual. They would keep me informed regularly and would give great advice on how to look good and prepared before the actual court date. After the initial court date, Mr. Chanco and Hamilton were not happy with the ruling that they had sentenced me and actually went on to fight it which resulted in another court date, which he represented me, free of charge. These guys do not just look at you as another client, but as someone they do care for. I would absolutely recommend this firm.

Stuart Oberman is one of the most logical and caring attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He guided us in the right decisions and definitely looked out for our best interests, even before his own. Thanks Stuart - hopefully we won't have to work together again, but if we find ourselves in need of legal services, you are our first call!

I highly recommend Josh Bishop to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable attorney for a transaction with a dental DSO.
Josh is one of the best attorney I ever worked with.
From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions.
Josh and his team always got back to me quickly and made it seamless operation,especially as we were facing time constraints. Thanks, team!

Frank and his team lied to me on more than one occasion. He was hard to get in touch with and would not return calls. I was told by him and his team I did not have to worry about a deposition. They told me the day before my deposition that I had to be there. No preparation. He and his team lied to my mother as well. Frank charged me thousands of dollars and did nothing to defend me in court, even though I spent hours gathering information that they requested for our court appearance. Frank will tell you what you want to hear and let you burn at the stake. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAN!!!!

After going thru a rather costly divorce where my ex-wife was sticking me with monthly payments of nearly $3,500 / mo and not making any progress with two other attorney's. I was stuck with payments which where determined prior to the economic down fall.
Attorney Frank Hamilton and his team (which where very hands on and accessible); worked on my case and within a couple of months where able to reduce the payments to $1,600/mo. The monthly payments could of been less if one of the previous attorneys had advised me properly against signing a document.
The fees where reasonable and whenever I fell behind due to circumstances; Attorney Frank Hamilton was there to defend me and keep me out of trouble......the attention and service was unparalleled by any other firm.
I've recommended his firm to others and they've come back with the same results.

Would not hire this lawyer again for even defense of a parking ticket. Hired this lawyer approximately March 2014 and was told that my two year limitation of filing was in November 2015.
Lawyer used up the time. He advised me by phone on 31 of October 2015, with follow up letter on November 6, 2015 that the malpractice case was not worth pursuing (risk reward); remaining filing time was basically used up and I did not have sufficient time to pursue other legal help in my case.

Couldn't be more impressed with Kathryn, Patricia and team! They came highly recommended via a women's Facebook group and it was easy to see why soon after I engaged in their services. Working with someone that has been in the same shoes as you is a gift in more ways than one. Kathryn takes the time to explain and dimension out the standard process but, most importantly, she takes the time to listen. She has an in depth understanding both from her personal experience and her professional career while also acknowledging that each situation is different and unique. She truly feels like both a leader and partner in this process. We're not done yet, but the amount of support, knowledge, and understanding I've received has made me feel strong throughout and she makes it very clear from the start that that's her goal. Grateful for her guidance, expertise, and the team she's built! If you've found yourself needing to go through a divorce process or even simply needing to learn more about the potential of one, look no further!

I called this law firm and after 30 seconds was hung up on. I went to ask another question and didn’t get a chance to get it out. I may not be a million dollar client but certainly that’s not how anyone should be treated. Not much customer service there, huh?

This guy is a total jackass who is completely disrespectful to the court and wastes his clients’s time and money by being constantly adversarial without making any progress in a case. He holds up cases for months at at time if he doesn’t get his way, and will risk putting his clients in legal peril for the sake of what he thinks the court should do.

If i could rate it lower, i would. Mr. Hamilton needs to go back to law school. He wants my husband to take a domestic violence case to trial. And for me to get in front of a jury and lie and say that he never hit me. Just to get the charges dismissed on my husband. So he justified that it's ok to hit a woman if you ask me. He needs God in his life just like most of forsyth county. And if he can't win a case by not coercing someone to lie, then he needs to reevaluate the field of work he is in.

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.
