Attorney LeeAnne Lynch represented me in a sex offender removal case which was contested by the state. During what was undoubtedly a stressful time for me and my family. LeeAnne proved to be an invaluable support. Her genuine care and empathy made a significant difference in my experience. She fought tirelessly for my case, always keeping me updated on the progress. LeeAnne was always one step ahead in planning our defense strategy and was straightforward about the possible outcomes of the case. She is a skilled knowledgeable negotiator and a strong advocate for her clients. Her professionalism and sincerity are commendable, and I am thankful for her exceptional legal service. LeeAnn and The Law Office of Andrew R. Lynch advocacy, strategic thinking, and persistence helped me achieve a winning outcome. I highly recommend LeeAnne to anyone facing similar circumstances or looking for top-notch representation in legal matters. She truly cares about her client’s case and will work for you.

Laura and I have worked together on different cases, and most recently, shared a client with very unique needs. Laura was a pleasure to work with, and when we needed to come to a meeting of the minds about our mutual client, she scheduled Zoom meetings, and phone calls, and we collaborated so easily. We both reached an excellent resolution for our most recent client, who reported to me that Laura was able to get the Judge to accommodate not only transport issues, but financial issues upon sentencing. I hope that we have more work together in the future!

I highly recommend working with Williams Teusink and cannot convey the gratitude I have for Karen Scott. She navigated a compliance issue with the city whose remedy far exceeded the code that was cited in the complaint. She worked with the code compliance officer to reach an equitable resolution. When work needed to be done that our neighbor didn't agree with she even went to our property to handle it in person. She was very responsible with the use of her time and consequently our money! When it was time to appear in court I walked in to a plea having been reached and approved and in minutes the case was closed without penalty. I would highly recommend Karen for any code issue with the City of Atlanta.

10 stars. Amazing results, far, far exceeded our expectations.
Our HOA's tax situation was a mess, a residual left to us from the developer. Twenty-five tax parcels, all with errors; incorrect appraisals, addresses and names. We owed tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes and liens. It was an overwhelmingly complex jumble. Attorney David Metzger and the WT team successfully negotiated with the county and the developer. Our appraisals were corrected and our tax bills were reduced from $31,000 to $31.00. David secured tax refunds that far exceeded our liens. He also negotiated a positive settlement with the developer for our HOA
There are plenty of attorney's who can assist with appraisals, that's easy. Few are the firms who understand how to work with the counties and cities property tax departments to resolve complex issues. Williams Teusink is one these select firms. Do not hesitate.

I was extremely pleased with this firm, in particular with the services of my attorney, Karen Scott. Ms. Scott is professional, courteous, and kind. From my initial consultation I had the utmost confidence in her ability to help me navigate the code enforcement citations I received. I was in a stressful situation and knew I would be out of my league trying to handle it on my own. Ms. Scott heard my concerns and worked with me to develop a plan to come into compliance. She stayed in touch with the code enforcement officer and relayed the status of compliance progress. She represented me at my court date and negotiated a terrific settlement.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, don't go it alone. Get a consultation with Karen Scott at Williams Teusink. You won't be disappointed.

Mr. Carlton was friendly, but we were unsure if we were dealing with him or a secretary from the responses we received, as they would be one-sentence replies, improper grammar, etc. We were shocked that our filing was done by hand and not typed. It wasn't even easy to read. We had to conduct weekly check-ins to get the status of our landlord-tenant dispute case, which took a year and a half. I previously worked as a judicial secretary, so I had some familiarity with cases. In one instance, we were sent someone else's case information. I would not recommend his service unless you want to do most of the work yourself.

I called upon Attorney Matthew Carlton last week to review our HOA documents and ACC guidelines. He took his time and had only 4-business days to get familiar with our documents. My wife and I invited him on our Zoom call on 12/8/20. By the time he spoke on our behalf last night to our HOA Board and ACC governing body, he was well versed and fully prepared in explaining to everyone our POA (Property Owners Association), our rights etc. He was very knowledgeable about voting rights and amongst other things, keeping harmony in a Subdivision. He was absolutely a homerun hire!! We will definitely call upon Attorney Carlton without hesitation shall the need arise!!! Thanks Matt!!

Horrible law firm! As other people who reviewed this company they copy and paste from other companies forms. STEVEN sent me a contract with ANOTHER COMPANIES NAME ON IT. When I spoke with him on the phone he didn't even listen to what I was needing on my contract or my needs, he just said yeah yeah yeah like he was Rude , UNPROFESSIONAL, NOT CLIENT FOCUSED I honestly can't believe these guys are a law office I guess they didn't think one of their clients Would read what they sent HORRIBLE GO ELSE WHERE!
**Update**
Steven and I did in fact talk on the phone as i have records proving this. The " Contract " Was a joke with Steven copying and pasting the from another contract. He didnt make it right didnt do anything to help me or my company. I am shocked that a "law office" is this unprofessional. Whats interesting is there are other reviews saying the exact same thing I am complaining about. He refuses to refund or make it right. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. Trust me GO ELSEWHERE!

This is the worst firm that I have ever had to deal with. The simple task of getting great customer service and legal assistance is far removed from this one man firm. I paid Steven Becker, $450.00 to form a business for me. Steven Becker was referred to me from Legal Shield. Legal Shield is appalled how this man is less than professional. I paid Steven Becker in September, 2023 and it is now November, 2023 and I have yet to receive my refund for services not provided. I paid in advance and I have not heard from this man once the money has been received. After two weeks of not receiving a response since paying with my credit card, I requested a full refund. I still did not receive a call back. I called his office many times to an answering service answering his calls. This is where I learned that he have no employees. It is a one man company. Why would a one man company pay for an answering service to answer his calls? That says a lot. Steven Becker does not intend to answer his calls because he knows that he is less than reputable, honest and of good character. I have left many messages and he has since emailed me to let me know that he has sent a certified mail with my check. This man is very dishonest. Certified mail does not take two months. Not even snail mail. He finally emailed me with a very nasty email shown below,
"I sent your refund to you by certified mail, return receipt requested to the address you provided last week. I am taking no further action on this. Feel free to escalate if you wish. Please remember that under the Letter of Engagement you signed, it is clear that your payment is earned when made and is not refundable. However, I refunded it anyway even though I had no obligation to do so".

My project team and I had some fairly extensive challenges in negotiating and documenting a strategic alliance with the owner of certain complementary technology. Steve worked tirelessly to put together a crystal clear strategic alliance agreement that comprehensively addressed the parties' concerns, rights and responsibilities, particularly in the area of intellectual property ownership. Although Steve is one of the busiest and hardest working professionals I know, he always made time to answer my questions.

I contacted Herman Tunsil in June 2024 regarding a civil matter. Despite being out of the country at the time, Herman promptly responded to my inquiry—something other local attorneys failed to do. This level of responsiveness immediately set him apart.
Herman’s knowledge and strategic approach were impressive. He thoroughly explained various options, highlighting the pros and cons of each without trying to influence my decision. He was prepared to work hard regardless of the path I chose, showing true dedication to my case.
Thanks to Herman’s efforts, my case was dismissed with prejudice, which was the exact outcome I was hoping for. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a competent and committed attorney.

I did a bankruptcy under Herman Tunsil. I'm sorry, but he did a poor job on my case. He seemed to be a nice person, but the service is what I'm reviewing. I started my case with him in Jan 2014. We did not complete my bankruptcy until May 2016. Is that not 2 years! He kept putting off meetings which I can understand sometimes, but for a bankruptcy to not be completed for 2 years is ridiculous. Fast forward and I'm thinking that everything was finalized in August 2015. I did my part with all the paperwork and submitted everything. The debt management course was completed also. I thought nothing else had to be done, but come to find out, his office had never forwarded the course certificate to the court office. I found this out in March because something in the back of my mind told me to check to see why I never got a confirmation from the court office. He responds to my e-mail saying they dropped the ball. At this point, I'm really upset because now this has pushed the discharge back several months and the court tells me we have to pay a late fee. I'm not paying it. So they ended up paying it and it was finalized in May 2016. I told my friend about doing a bankruptcy and the lawyer she got did it in 3 months. Go figure.

I had a case last year back in April for a first offense felony charge. I really wish I had stick with a public offender. That's how bad he was. I hired him, he came to ONE court date then said he wasn't retained. He is not trustworthy at all. He had me plead guilty & put on probation and I'm not even a GA resident. DO NOT HIRE! He will take your money and not give a damn about you

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.
