Mark was a pleasure to work with on a lease project. He was always responsive to emails and finished work at a high quality on deadline. He was quick to make requested revisions and I wouldn't hesitate to use him in the future if we'd have a legal need outside of what we can handle with our internal team.

Mr. Andrews was hired by our municipality to defend us in a very complex and lengthy lawsuit. Because of Mr. Andrews' knowledge and thorough research we won our case and were awarded all indemnity and medical claims that had been paid out. I would highly recommend Mr. Andrews for any WC case.

Mr. Andrews defended my company on a very highly complex workman's comp case. The amount of effort Mr. Andrews put into finding all the discrepancies, deceit, and "non existent" records goes above and beyond. He won this "one of a kind, year long" case for me, 100%. He was very professional, always in contact and easy to get a hold of if needed. Most of all he believed in this case. I highly recommend Mr. Andrews for any workman's comp case as I will definitely hire him again if needed.

Ben handled a car accident case for my wife and I. She was rear-ended by a texting driver and was injured pretty bad. Ben took the time to meet with us several times throughout the case and resolved it successfully. The insurance company for the young lady who was texting tried to deny liability, but Ben set the straight and won our case.

Ed is amazing! So much knowledge. Very passionate about his clients. His para legal Elaine is great as well. She keeps in touch with you about your case via email and phone. I had 2 consultations with Ed. During my first consultation he was thorough and didn’t rush. He made sure he had all the information he needed. He even asked me multiple times if I had any questions or other things I would like to bring up.
He did not charge me for my second consultation. Ed took my case free of charge! I’m so thankful for Curly Dodge Fitzgerald and Funk. (This was a family law case regarding custody and relocation).

Horrible customer service. I wanted to change my will, the person on the phone asked me numerous of times why I had an attitude. I’m not sure if it is because I’m black that they assumed I had an attitude. I assured her numerous of times that I did not have an attitude and that I just wanted service. She told me to find another firm and hung up on me.

I wanted to do estate planning. I called the Dover office and was given an appointment along with the Dover address. I got there and was told that my appointment was in the Rehoboth office. The receptionist was very rude and acted like the mistake was mine. I did go to Rehoboth, but as a result, had to take a whole day off from work instead of the planned half day. After I met with the lawyer, I was told I'd have my paperwork for review in 2 weeks. It's been almost a month and nothing. I called the office, but haven't heard back. I'll update this review if I ever get this process completed.

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.
