Jeff Dean is absolutely one of the best lawyers that we have worked with and hired. He handled our entire case with professionalism and conducted himself in such a wonderful manner, he treated us like we were family, he kept us updated regularly and kept us optimistic, he went above and beyond his job role and he's one you can trust. His manner in the courtroom made a huge impression because he was so well spoken and presented the evidence in such a respectful way and he actually made the other attorney look like a clown. We will definitely use Mr. Dean for anything we may need in the future. He's always kind, greets you with a smile, calm, centered, and knows his stuff. A+ Attorney in our opinion.

Mr. Dean worked over the course of 5 years on my vehicle accident case, through many problems and issues brought about by the defendants attorney. Mr. Dean kept me informed and well educated on all of the issues. He was caring, took a lot of time to listen to any concerns and worries I had, and always had my best interests at heart. He presented a wonderful case to the jury, in a way that was easily understood, no grand standing. He showed the jury the person I am. I will always be grateful to Mr. Dean for his professionalism and kindness, along with his professional staff. He was always available for any questions I had. I couldn't have been in better hands with any other attorney.

At first I was apprehensive about consulting any lawyers whatsoever, but Mr. Dean completely changed my opinion of legal consultation. He was responsive, honest, helpful, and understanding. His law firm literally changed my life for the better. The results were even better than what I was hoping for. I highly recommend this law firm if you're ever considering legal help. You will not be disappointed.

I hired Mr Michmerhuizen over 6 yrs ago for a car accident case. I had multiple issues and it wasn't an easy case. Steve and his team were extremely thorough and didn't rush to try and get quick money. He waited until I was at my best medically and then we went to finish up my case. He is very patient and always professional. I do not believe any other attorney could have gotten the results that he got for me. I would highly recommend this law firm. They are all great people.

Brooke is young, but don't let that fool you! She is very smart and knows about the law. She is sweet and caring, but stands up for her clients. She was able to answer all of my questions and ease all of my concerns. She was always very helpful and returned my phone calls/emails the same day. This was something my previous attorney NEVER did. Brooke is great if you want someone that is going to stay on top of your case, answer your questions, and fight for you. She never made me feel like I was just another client and I appreciated that. If you need a lawyer in Dalton this firm is the best!

I am writing a truly remarkable letter of appreciation unlike any other. I am Rodney Bearden I was involved in an Automoblie accident on hwy 41 in Dalton Georgia. What is Special about my case is I pulled out into 41 hey. After looking both ways when all of a sudden a automobile hit me in the rear. This caused me to suffer from a seizure.After being transported to the hospital, where I stayed 5 days. The After math was un imaginable. My speech was severely slurred, my memory wasvery limited, my walking was unsteady. I have no family members alive. Born raised in Dalton Georgia. I was suddenly a unknown person my past was very spotty. After reaching out to several law firms, who sadly thought I was intoxicated, even making me feel uneducated. That is when I contacted Cowan Law Firm and spoke with Brian Wright he told me to come in he would help me. That ment the whole world to me. Long story Short Mr. Wright fought tirelessly for me thanks to his dedication and expertise, We won the case. More importantly he provided compassion and a personal level of attention that I thought was long gone in my memories.
There is a Significant Differance in attorneys. Brian Wright, Rob Cowan at the Cowan law Firm, embodies this winning difference. They rose to the occasion. They spoke for me. This I shall never forget.

Leslie is great! Even though we have not been able to settle yet, I'm very pleased with his work. He is fighting hard to make sure my husband I get what we deserve since the accident was not our fault. He even helped us out with getting my husband a car when his motor went out a couple weeks ago!
Highly recommend Leslie Waycaster to represent you!

Very disappointed! Annie was recommended to me so I checked her out with great reviews. However she definitely let me down...she let me know the DAY OF MEDIATION she had a conflict of interest with the opposite attorney. Very minimal communication. We met 2 times one to do a free consultation and then again to pay her. Little back story I was a stay at home mom for 4 years. The day I hired her I got a job. With that said when mediation came we were so very unprepared! And she forced me to take what was offered. Didn't even met with me before hand! She was not very interested in the case or what I had to say! Not working in 4 years I took on ALL THE RESPONSIBILITIES which is fine but then I had to pay off 2 of his bills for him. Not to mention anything I had to tell her or bring to the table she wanted a paper timeline then would tell me that's not going to work. She was definitely not the attorney she's chalked up to be! Never not once returned my phone calls to the point id sent several emails and wait a week for a response! Don't always go off reviews and word of mouth! Go with your gut!

I sat in jail for 6 months without a bond, an attorney that never once came to the jail to see me, denies receiving over 60 letters from me, waived my evidentiary hearing, waived my preliminary hearing, tried to give me a discovery with photocopies and not the real evidence, and when she did give me my discovery she was a pompous, arrogant, crass person.

He did a very poor job on handling my divorce case. It took him 2 months after I hired him for my divorce to finally file. He didn't contact me to let me know that it was ready, even after several un-returned emails, phone calls and voicemails left. It wasn't until I went by his office to ask for a refund, did he then tell me he had my case ready to file. When I read over it, he had a lot of the information wrong. He lost my info sheet twice along the way. I don't believe he looked at any evidence that I provided. He was always losing my information and couldn't keep up with what information I had already provided him. This along with much more of his lack of actually caring enough about me or my case to spend much time on it at all. The only call I received from him was the day of my Final Hearing, telling me that he made a deal with my spouse's attorney and cost me a lot more to have to pay out for the next several years. I don't feel like he made much of an attempt to fight for me. I don't feel like he worked enough on my case to warrant the retainer I paid him. Do not trust this man with your case. I wonder how many other people's lives have been negatively affected due his poor work ethic. There were so many red flags, but he assured me that it would be fine. I trusted him with so much and he failed me. Hindsight is truly 20/20. I hope this will deter anyone else to put their trust and life in his hands. Remember, whatever the outcome of your case is, it does not effect this man's life one bit.

My discoveries were due, I made multiple attempts to contact Toland and he would not return my calls and did not show up for my appointment at his office because he was "sick." The deadline came and went. It was my understanding that I lost my case due to this but luckily my husband and I are trying to make it work. Do not trust yours or your children's wellbeing to this attorney.

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.
