I gave Tiffany a quick call to inquire about some traffic tickets and she was able to quickly gather details, assess my issue and gave me a realistic view of whether or not services will be beneficial; also transparent about fees. Even though my needs did not warrant her services, the information she provided sent me on the proper course of action for which I am appreciative!

Tiffany is incredibly responsive and effective. I especially liked that she included "skin in the game" in our contract, making part of her compensation contingent on winning. I also was very impressed that she runs her practice independently. I only talked directly with her and never to a paralegal. I highly recommend DeBruin Law!

Ms. DeBruin was excellent. We retained her 5 days before my hearing for child custody and child support, I have an inter-jurisdictional case. Atty. DeBruin worked diligently, rapidly and accurately and eloquently represented me at the hearing. She kept in communication with me and sympathized with my situation. If I have another family case in Michigan, I will retain her again.

David represented me in an unexpected lawsuit. He was extremely patient in explaining how everything worked and what each step of the legal process meant. David was very professional and detailed through the entire law suit. I feel like he went above and beyond every aspect of his professional duties, especially when researching the plaintiff, in an effort to help my case. He obtained the best outcome for my situation and because of that I was overwhelming grateful for what he accomplished. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney.

We have been so impressed with David...he has provided us with legal counsel for a couple of issues and the overcomes were far above and beyond what we hoped for. He did an amazing job and we will continue to use him as our attorney for all our legal matters.

Mr. Stephenson has represented a number of my insured physicians (eight) through their medical malpractice trials and has done an excellent job in every instance. In each case, we received a favorable verdict, due in no small part to Michael's exhaustive pre-trial preparations and good calls during trial. He and his support staff/associates do a good job during discovery and kept everyone involved and informed. The physicians appreciate him and he does well with Juries and judges. I recommend him without hesitation.

I was very please with how my case was handled. I had a malpractice claim filed against me which Mr. Stephenson was able to get dismissed on a motion before my deposition. He was pleasant or work with and very responsive to my questions (which were many).

Mr. Topa worked very closely with us over the course of setting up our business. He navigated us though all the challenges from writing a business plan, setting up the legal entity, arranging financing with the bank, to navigating all the mess of forms to be filed with the state and federal governments. I would highly recommend him. Only problem was keeping in touch. He was frequently out of the office visiting other clients and we spent most of our time communicating through email.

I used Mr. Topa to help with tax questions. He spent a great deal of time going over the material with me, helping me to understand the different "elections" and the effects they would have. I was very pleased with the outcome. I was, however, disappointed with some of the waiting. I wish he would call more often to update.

Chris worked with me very closely. He took the time to explain all the proceeding and the different options available to me. He came out to me on several occassions and would even meet with me on weekends when my work scheduled prohibited me coming by the office during normal office hours.

I can’t say enough positive things about Kevin and his team! He went out of his way to guide us through a process we knew very little about. He made the entire thing easy and actually enjoyable! My family and I recommend him 100000% to anyone who needs estate planning!

Amy is one of the best immigration lawyers I worked with. For the following reasons:
She cares deeply: Many immigration firms see immigrants as just another case or another workload, but behind every immigrant, there is a unique story. Amy sees this, she cares for her clients and their dreams, and she tries her best to help them achieve their immigration goals.
She is very knowledgeable and experienced in what she does: especially for the categories that need deep skill and expertise, such as O1, NIW etc. She understands the regulation, keeps up to date with changes, and pays attention to the nuances. She also tailors solutions for every case based on everyone’s different situation.
She has a strong sense of justice, and not afraid to discuss with the authorities and stand up for her clients to do what is best for them.
I recommend Amy to anyone who seeks a knowledge, capable immigration lawyer who cares, to be alongside their immigration journey.

After getting a recommendation to Amy's office for my particularly time-sensitive O-1B petition, Adriana Klemish, Associate Attorney, filed my petition to the government in record time. Adriana has truly mastered the art of the legal narrative, taking my experience and qualifications and translating them into an airtight legal case, which was quickly approved. She fully went above and beyond to understand the complexities of my field to best represent me.
I cannot recommend Adriana and Amy's office enough. The attention to detail, knowledge, and professionalism have left a lasting impression, and I am beyond happy to recommend them to anyone needing immigration law support. I would not go anywhere else!

I truly can't make enough positive comments about this law firm. Aaron Kenyon was very welcoming and made me feel at ease about a difficult situation. David Montera, the lawyer that handled my actual case, was phenomenal. My case turned out to be much more difficult and involved than predicted. David put in the extra hours necessary to win my case, and even drove all the way to Detroit to ensure it's success. I want to give a shout out to the ladies in the office too! Every time I had a question, Sierra, Cheyanne, Hannah, and Cory were there to answer it and to help out in any way necessary. If you're looking for the best all around team to handle your case, look no further than Dietrich and Kenyon!

My wife and I searched for several years for an Attorney to help us build our Living Trust. We went to a multitude of luncheons and were always scared away by the complexity described by the Attorneys present. A very good friend recomended that we make an appointment with an Attorney who attends the same golf outing that we do, so we knew a little about Arlyn J.Bossenbrook before hand. We were both amazed and put at ease as he explained EVERYTHING required of him and us and how the whole process would take place should we decide to create a Living Trust. He continues to help us whenever we have a question or concern as his no. 1 priority. He treated us not only as a Client but a FRIEND. Thank you Arlyn. Raymond & Mary Lou
Mr & Mrs. Raymond Kissinger Sr.

Lived in the apartments on the 2nd floor for 3 years. Affordable and cozy, even though the building is pretty dirty, especially the kitchen. The MSU Legal Clinic moved out of this building a little while ago. Some windows, and especially the back door have been broken by vandals, and the parking lot still needs a lot of work. However, these might just be the cheapest studio apartments in East Lansing

Very disappointed in this office. My brother had total assets of less than $25,000. It has been 9 months and still the estate has not been settled. So far, lots of paper shuffling with lots of attorney fees.

I highly recommend Raymond Harris. He is absolutely 100% there for his clients and has the patience and knowledge base to access and prepare you for the challenges ahead with a compassionate and comprehensive ability, he listens to your requests and makes sure to provide you with all legal coverages you may require. He is helpful in explaining every aspect of the options you have. He is available and open for consultation and is present in your time of need. That is not easy to come by in this day and age. I highly recommend him.

Professional scamer. Bills for things not done, prolongs cases, not Professional, rude, does not respond, forgets everything, and spends more time threatening and trying to drop clients. Wife with no law degree was able to finish right after Lyke drops us. She allowed other side to turn in false documents and will believe other side before her own client. STAY CLEAR!!!

Had me send my stuff for the case over then ghosted me. Refused to answer my follow up calls.
I've seen these guys do great work before but that was when I was working in the courts and I watched them work for the high class of Lansing.
They're great if your the rich and elite but if your a normal person, they don't respect you enough to even follow through in basic communication.

Anthony Szilagyi is by far the most professional, diligent, tenacious, prompt, and compassionate professionals my wife and I have ever dealt with. Upbeat, optimistic, driven, this man never slows down. He will bust his back for his clients. Kind, caring, and a very giving man. Very patient and helpful in explaining things to us. Very easy to understand because he works hard to keep you the client fully informed. Thanks for listening, Frances.

Mr. Szilagyi is very professional and insightful. He’s very good at taking on a role that you need (i.e. won't come in with guns blazing if you don't want a completely aggressive representation, but will be aggressive when it benefits you), is knowledgable of the law, and is positive but realistic in presenting what you should expect as an outcome (i.e. doesn’t sugarcoat, doesn't just tell you what you want to hear). We did take our issues to court and prevailed. I recommend!

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.
