David has represented our firm from start up through mergers for over a decade. He has been able to follow our growth and strategy through strategic support of numerous issues including, partnership matters, large insurance claims, banking issues, tax situations, purchases of assets, acquisition of other entities, formation of entities, as well as strong personal support of owners. His understanding of small business operations as well as specific financial matters has allowed us to grow from three to nearly 30 associates. From a single production facility to now three. His strength is in understanding our needs while simultaneously broad enough to obtain key support for areas requiring outside the box resolve. His reputation, character, and performance exceeds expectations. This is the opinion of an owner who really dislikes attorneys. David is an excellent attorney.

I had entered a contract with a company to perform over $12,000 worth of work to waterproof my basement. After the expiration of my three (3) days rescission period, I learned that I had been misguided about the issue and that it was not necessary for this amount of work. I then contacted Mr. Sandner who was of great assistance. He was very professional and able to quickly settle the dispute to my satisfaction. Through my experience I would strongly recommend Mr. Sandner for any similar disputes.

Jamie and his firm represented me on an FMLA claim against my former employer. Jamie was professional and extremely knowledgeable about my case. As a client, I could always expect Jamie to explain everything in detail to me, and he was quick to return my emails and phone calls. I always knew my options as a client because he didn’t lead me on and “sugar coat” things and just tell me everything that I wanted to hear. There was never any pressure by Jamie to settle my claim for a quick payday for his firm. He fought for me every step of the way, and made sure the result was more than satisfactory for me. If I need an attorney in the future, I won’t hesitate a second to give Jamie a call.
If you need an attorney, believe me, Jamie is the one you want on “your” side.

I was referred to Josh Carter by a friend who hired Mr. Carter plan his estate. I went with Mr. Carter based not only on my firend's satisfaction and referral, but also based on the fact I knew how much it would cost before meeting with him. Mr. Carter's fees are published on his web site, and he stuck to his fee and never billed me again....even though my case was complex and resulted in a contested trial. Additionally, Mr. Carter always returned my calls which was different from my previous lawyer. I would definitely recommend Mr. Carter for domestic relations cases.

Karl was a great lawyer, I did some research on him, and his team prior to speaking to him. I heard nothing, but great things. He worked his magic, I was able to get my license back, and finally feel like a weight has been lifted. I was going down a dark road after my accident, and today felt like the light at the end of the tunnel. Very cliché, I know, but some people deserve second chances, and that’s what happened to me!
Keep up the good work! Highly recommend him, and his team!

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.
