Very professional and talented attorneys who pay great attention to detail and treat every case uniquely. I had the pleasure of working with Emilia and Kellie; who covered every base in my case, taking me to trial and earning an acquittal. They were always honest and polite; and very much on top of everything. Which more than helped me keep my freedom. Big thanks to them and the whole firm!! I would not recommend anyone else over this firm. Wouldn’t even think to hire anyone else if the need arose. Best lawyers I have ever witnessed in action 110%.

My Wife and I are very lucky to have found Hernandez Law Firm. We found the law firm through a referral from a friend who only had praises for the law firm.
Carlos does a great job, he is straight forward, honest, provides all the options and facts and guides you through the process.
He made sure there were no surprises and answered all our questions and we always knew what to expect.
I am surprised that there are not more reviews here.

David Russ provided excellent legal services to us. We had moved from another state and needed to have our trust and other estate planning documents updated so they would be in compliance with NC law. We were contemplating other changes on which his experience and knowledge about estate planning matters helped to inform our decisions.
Mr. Russ was responsive to our needs. We needed the updates in a tight timeframe which he met. He demonstrated professionalism and patience in working with us. The latter was needed because my husband’s and my availability were limited because of pressing personal matters. We live in a county more than three hours from his office, so communicated with Mr. Russ exclusively by telephone and email. His good communications skills, verbal and written, made up for our not being able to meet in person. His prices were fair, considerably less than other quotes we had received.

I am so grateful to David for guiding me and my husband through the process of creating our Trust! I’ve wanted to create a Trust for a long time but didn’t know what to do or where to begin. After having a consultation with David, I felt so much better about the process. Everything was explained to me, all my questions were answered, and I felt at ease about it all. Can’t recommend DSR Legal enough!

First, I don't usually write reviews. This is actually only the 3rd review I've ever written; however, I was so impressed with Attorney Hatcher and her team I was compelled to write this review.
Attorney Hatcher took on my case after I was turned away by 2 other attorneys. Attorney Hatcher was able to get a settlement of my case very close to what I was originally asking for. I am so grateful to the Hatcher Legal team.
The professionalism of Hatcher Legal is second to none and if I ever need future legal representation I will definitely turn to Hatcher Legal.

As a client of hers over a 3 year period of representation , I only met with her only a few times.... It consistsed of constant , never-ending requests for $5,000 / $10,000 Dollar retainers that were vacuumed up almost as soon as I could pay them. Eventually leading to her to requesting that I just pay $5,000 a month to keep my retainer supplied... After over $100,000.00 dollars of billing, my case never even saw its day in court....It was dismissed on technicality ..... Absolutely nothing was achieved... I refused to pay the last bill that was sent to me for a 35 min oral hearing to combat the dismissal of my case , inwhich I was billed $16,000.00 dollars for ... she refused to discuss the bill with me and come to a fair agreement, and then she promptly sued me for it, adding Monthly compound interest, exponentially increasing the bill to upwards of $30,000.... I regret the day I ever walked into her law office..

Attorney Hatcher and her staff are like David and Goliath; soft spoken, friendly, and very professional but mighty, strong, valor and wise when taking on great challenges. Moreover, coming out with the Win. Attorney Hatcher took my case to see if she could resolve it on the first level without me having to go to a deeper legal battle. With her smart and hard work coupled with her expertise, she was able to resolve my issue and get the information that I needed to move forward. I will always take my legal matters to her first and will refer my family and friends to her as well. I feel like she and her staff are a part of my family as I can talk to them as I would my own family. It has been a pleasure working with her and her staff.

Mr. Morton is a great attorney! He helped me with a traffic matter and was very helpful and informative throughout the process. He also showed up for court and was there even before I was so I didn’t have to stay super long. He makes sure you understand what’s going on with your case and exactly what you need to do to hopefully stay out of trouble. 10/10 would recommend Mr. Morton’s office to help anyone out!

Hired him for a surplus of funds on a foreclosure. Charged me 1950.00 to only do the bare minimum. Agreements that were not met because he did to want to answer my questions to me about the case. His responses were ambiguous. He is unethical and does not follow up, you have to follow up.

Not sure why Rick would be running an ad for clients when he ignores the ones who hire him. I had a phone conversation with him and he was very nice. I dropped off my wills for his review and nearly 2 months later we still didn't have any progress on our new trust and new wills.. I notified him that we had a closing coming up and we needed the trust for the closing. he completely ignored me and I finally just went over and picked up the documents I had left for him. when I called him back I got connected to a Google voice. people who are paying for these ads are passing that cost on to their clients.

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.
