Our church used Dalton & Tomich to guide us through the process of disaffiliation from the Illinois Great Rivers Conference and the United Methodist Church. This was a complicated journey through uncharted waters. It was made especially difficult because the Conference kept changing the rules.
Through it all, Dan Dalton and Zana Tomich were extremely helpful. They brought their knowledge and experience to bear on our situation in a first-class manner. Their service was a key factor in the fact that our congregation voted 97% in favor of disaffiliation.
In retrospect, because of the church’s complicated property situation, we could not have run the disaffiliation race without their help. We believe that the cost was money well spent.
In providing this reference (which I volunteered to do), the key question is this: Would we use them again in a similar situation? The answer is an unequivocal resounding “Yes.” That is the highest recommendation I can provide. Based on our experience, if you use this firm, you will not be disappointed.

The Chilmark Church has recently exited from the UMC and will continue to live out our mission and ministry as an inclusive independent community church. Dan Dalton and team were 100% responsible for that success. Since 2019 the church had tried to disaffiliate from UMC but were thwarted in our attempts. Dan Dalton agreed in early 2023 to represent us and led us thru an ultimate MA Land Court lawsuit where the Trust Clause was in question. Our court case was settled before litigation in December 2023, primarily due to our expert legal representation.
Our experiences with Dan Dalton and partners were extremely positive and professional. They were patient with our church pace and time frame, explained things thoroughly, and were very quick and responsive to concerns and questions. Much was accomplished over 2023 to help us "exit" UMC and they helped us with all the paperwork (and holding our hands) the whole way. They were upfront with costs and risk so there were no surprises. I, as the minister of the church, can confidently say that we would not have accomplished our exit without their legal help. I will miss our Zoom and email chats! Go Lions.

Extremely unprofessional! They will argue with you more than they argue to save you in court. Full of excuses and not willing to fulfill their end of the deal. You are better off going with a court appointed because with these guys you will end up with a court appointed in the end any way!.. Good luck to anyone that has chosen such poor representation!!! 😕

Judge Deborah Ford is an amazing person who really cares about her job and clients. She went above and beyond to help me with my case. She’s very nice, thoughtful, and one of the most beautiful people that you could ever meet from the outside and inside. She’s very understanding and she truly cares about winning the case and defending you. She has been working in the court room most of her life, and her mom was a former judge as well so she grew up discussing laws on daily basis. Hands down she’s the best attorney anyone could ever ask like she really knows what she’s doing and she is a very trustworthy person. I wish I can give her a 100 stars not only 5 stars because this woman truly deserves a statue built for her!❤️

If I could give 10 stars I would. I am so grateful for Ashley. From the moment she picked up the phone I knew I made the right choice when dealing with some real estate issues. Ashley made me feel comfortable, she listened, and gave me ALL information I needed in a way I could understand it. She was so kind, helpful, and I don't think I would trust anyone else. 10/10 recommend Attisha Law.

I hired Darwyn for a very difficult case involving real property. From the beginning, the odds were against us and the situation was grim as we were up against one of the largest and most corrupt banks there is-I won’t mention the name cuz I definitely don’t want to see them in court ever again.
Of course, in any court case, it comes down to the decision of a judge or a jury, but Darwyn will work harder and smarter than most other attorneys, increasing the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
Darwyn ended up getting me exactly what I wanted, despite our much less than favorable chances. And he did it ethically, without resorting to lies and other deceitful tactics that so many other lawyers typically have to use to win.
Darwyn Fair is an excellent attorney and a great guy. If you hire him and lose, you were probably going to lose no matter what.

I would VERY highly recommend Matt Curtis to anyone that needs the help of a top-notch attorney! After my husband was hit by a car and very seriously injured, fighting with insurance was the last thing we had energy for. Matt took on the task of fighting the insurance company and allowed us to focus on what was important, my husband's care. Matt treated us like we were family, always showing genuine concern for how my husband was doing while working tirelessly to help get us the benefits my husband deserved. I can honestly say that without Matt's fierce advocacy, overwhelming intelligence and commitment we could not have made it through the process.

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.
