Brian Tackett and his paralegal Pam are AMAZING! Brian is very knowledgeable, professional, ethical, and is the BEST of the BEST! Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone that is honest and will shoot it very straight and as long as you’re doing your part, he will do his part. This has been a very stressful, highly contested case. Brian remained cool, calm, and positive. I honestly can’t and won’t search anywhere else. Brian is the GOAT!

I have been working with Kirsten Bode and she has been top notch. If your looking for an attorney who knows her stuff and will fight for what you want, she is your gal. Kirsten is very knowledgeable, friendly, honest, tells you the truth, and sets the expectation. She never made me feel pressured or unheard and I value her opinion/advisement very much. You will not be disappointed by Kirsten. Her Paralegal Kristina was fantastic as well. They are quite the team those 2! Proud to have worked with both of these ladies would highly recommend 15 out of 10!

I've known Jim Horton for many years and have utilized him several times, as have many of my friends & colleagues. This last time, they were beyond impressive and words can't express how grateful I am for both Jim and his paralegal Brenda.. I was caught in a bureaucratic nightmare between a misfiled court order and the attorney general office working off of an incorrect order......but because someone else didn't file the write document, I was having to deal with the nightmare... Jim Horton and Brenda not only went above and beyond to get it fixed, they stayed on top of it for over a year until they made sure the court and the OAG office got everything corrected. Besides the fact that they got the job done - the most important part is THEY CARED!!

I hired Minor and Jester to handle an eviction case for one of my rental properties, and the experience was nothing short of a nightmare. Despite the fact that my tenant had not paid rent for three consecutive months, the firm completely botched the case.
Specifically, Christopher Henry and Olivia Ponce, who were assigned to represent me, were grossly unprepared for court. Their lack of knowledge of the eviction process was glaring. It was clear from the outset that they had not done their homework, as they fumbled basic questions and failed to present crucial evidence to support my case. To my disbelief, their poor representation led the judge to dismiss the case (you can look it up in the public records for the City of Denton), despite the tenant's clear violation of our rental agreement.
The lack of professionalism and competence from both attorneys was astonishing. I expected to work with experienced professionals who would fight for my rights as a landlord, but instead, I was met with a careless and disorganized defense that ended up costing me time, money, and a resolution to the situation.
The only reason I’m giving them a two star review is because they were quick to issue the refund of the retainer fee and the consult fee, thus admitting their error.
Do you want to be their next mistake?

BEWARE OF THIS FALSE ATTORNEY SHARON WILSON,
I hired her to represent me with a child custody battle back in 2020. At first she was doing her job and keeping me informed about my case, until Sharon fell off the face of the earth mid April 2021. I must have emailed her 10 times, texted her 10 times, and called her 10 times. Sharon Wilson doesn’t even have an office, she has an office address but no office they are a front for people who can’t afford an office. Sharon didn’t even give me a contract to sign or anything. Becareful of this so CALLED ATTORNEY. Sharon Wilson is a person that makes you think you have someone good on your side until she has you in her grasps and just falls off the earth and never gets in contact with you again, when you need her most. I was under a lot of stress and anxiety during the periods of time when I could not reach her or receive a call back from her. I finally put in complaint with CAAP for help and they advised me to do a few things. I did them and still Sharon Wilson never reached out to answer me. So then finally I was advised to file a grievance with the TEXAS BAR ASSOCIATION, which I did. They finally got her to respond to me via email and she was really rude to me because I filed a grievance and she had to respond. So after Sharon Wilson released my file to me I went to another attorney for help and told him what a nightmare it was working with Sharon Wilson. His reply was “ you are not the first client that I have had to help because of her ”. He was sorry for all the stress Sharon Wilson put me through. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, BEWARE OF SHARON WILSON ATTORNEY FOR FAMILY LAW.
Before you hire this Sharon Wilson for family law look at the Texas Bar association for the complaint against her!

She failed to file a critical file in my case. Looked lost in court. Very unresponsive to getting back to me. I mean I went looking for her and her office is in a car garage where I was told is I'm not the only one looking for her. At a very inportant meeting she changed to fit her time, then texted me 20 min before and said just go in with out me and never heard from her long enough to go looking for her. I needed a lawyer but went in alone and let her go right before court because she had not a clue on my case. If you got her right now you are probably seeing these reviews and thinking yep im going threw the same thing. I feel dumb for letting her get me. Thought she was God sent. Guess devil sends them 2! Horrible!!!!!!

My divorce is now almost a year in and she has been extremely unresponsive and disinterested. I actually went several months without hearing from her. Once my ex hired an attorney to review his paperwork, she changed the type of divorce it was to gain more money. DO NOT USE HER.

I reached out to Michael Fox for a real estate matter this afternoon based on a list of attorneys that was provided to me. Although, I was expecting to get a voice mail, Mr. Fox answered and confirmed that he was an attorney. When I explained I was looking for help with a real estate contract, he responded abruptly, "I don't do that. And, certainly not on a Sunday afternoon.". Then he just hung up.
I was surprised at the lack of professionalism and that Mr. Fox exhibited by implying it was my fault for calling him outside his business hours at the number he has posted everywhere online.

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.
