Andrew left a lasting impression on me from day one. He took personal interest in our situation and was quick to offer suggestions. We needed something done quickly and it certainly was. To say that he went above and beyond would be an understatement. The industry could use more people like him. I would highly recommend him to anyone out there. Thank You Andrew for all of your help.

Andrew represents the best of his profession. He's represented our business in instances of HR issues, clients defaulting on payment and when we experienced a security breach leading to fraudulent credit card charges. On the real estate side, he's advised on and constructed our LLC's and created tenant contracts for those. Hes also advised on situations surrounding breach of those agreements.
We have absolute trust in the counsel Andrew provides our organization, and myself personally.

I have hired Eric for a variety of property dealings. Eric is a very valuable attorney for both complex and simple legal assistance. In my situation he got to know my immediate needs, long term objective, and even my family before determining the correct solution and taking action. He possesses the right balance of general legal expertise and local area knowledge to get things done quickly and efficiently. He takes the time to thoroughly understand your request and circumstances before delivering a solution. Also, his willingness to offer evening office hours is extremely convenient for people like me that find it difficult to meet during the day.

We hired Eric Coss as an attorney for two projects, and he was wonderful to work with on both.
The first project was a real estate deal. We needed to enter into contract with a purchaser for a condo that we had already found. He was able to provide all of the documents necessary as well as any back end real estate work in a very fast amount of time. On top of that, he saved us quite a bit of money vs. the typical method of selling a home. It was a seamless process, he made any adjustments & amendments to documents quickly, and we were able to enter into a real estate contract & close within about a month and a half.
The second project we hired him for was our personal estate planning. We needed wills, power of attorney, and living wills. It took two meetings to get this accomplished, but it was honestly minimal effort on our part. He met with us the first time to understand our wishes for all parts of the documents that we wanted, including a trust & guardianship for our child. When he got everything written up, we reviewed it all in detail & signed everything in his office.
Eric was great to work with, reasonably priced, and delivered exactly what we asked for every time. I would highly recommend using him, and we will certainly be using him for any other legal needs in the future.

My father passed away and it was a very trying time for me. I needed probate assistance and legal advice. Through an odd set of circumstances I ended up contacting Manos, Martin & Pergram and spoke to Kathleen Johnson. She provided me with valuable help and insight, even before we met in person. The firm was further away from me than other law offices, but after meeting and working Kathleen, I knew I made the right decision. If I need legal assistance in the future, Kathleen will be my first contact.

Scott handled my case so well, he is a very knowledgeable and efficient attorney. He responds quickly and was extremely helpful as well as being patient and compassionate with me while I navigated a process I had never been through before. He explained things clearly and helped to put my mind at ease during a difficult time. Upon first meeting he and his lovely secretary, Dawn, I felt confident that I was in good hands... that certainly proved to be true. I appreciate them both so much!

I cannot recommend their services. The work was good but their billing follow up is atrocious. They forgot to apply a payment of slightly over $1600 to my retainer that I had to catch and tell them they charged me for. My case was then finalized in the first week of October and I had to contact them twice, once the week of thanksgiving and once more this week, to get my retainer refunded. I would avoid and seek services elsewhere.

Hired Rod for an emergency custody case and turned into a complete disaster. Started off with already having a case at there office and another case arose from the first case. We’ll to start it off Rod said there was no charge for the “consultation” so we went to court and he had Tami with him from his office and they were absolutely ridiculous. The judge knew the defendant was lying but Rod and Tami had all the evidence and not one time showed anything. After we left court we decided to terminate with them because they were such a joke. So long story short that “free consultation” turned into almost 900$ just for that, then show up to court and Tami who was “representing “ us with Rod did nothing in court. All this lawyer firm is overpriced paper pushers. Don’t call them save your money and fight for yourself by yourself before you call these people!!!

Piss poor representation. I hired this guy to represent me on a DUI for $7000. He assured me that if I plead Guilty/No Contest, I would receive the minimum sentencing guidelines. On my court date, he showed up in a mask and assured me of minimum sentencing. Behind the scenes, when I asked him about the driver's license suspension, he looked at me and talked down to me literally like I was a piece of garbage and assured me that he had negotiated minimum sentencing and basically told me to plead guilty/no contest. I listened to his advice against my better judgement and was sentenced to the maximum license suspension of 3 years. I basically paid this guy over double the going rate for my charges to represent me, and I regret hiring him. I would not recommend hiring Rick Reeder based on my experience, and financial loss. Despicable!

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.
