Sarah Dill exudes persistence, poised advocacy, collective resolve and astute attention to detail in the midst of competing interests. She calmly exhibits her wealth of knowledge for her various subjects fields while maintaining a focus on the client's position. She explains legal concepts cohesively and rationally for anyone to understand. As my former law school classmate and as my title attorney representative who sold my parent's home, I could not have asked for a better attorney than Sarah. I put my trust in her to complete my parent's home closing after 40 years under their care, and if I can do that, anyone should be willing to give her a chance at representing them! I would give 1000 stars if I could. Thank you Sarah.

I highly recommend Chris Brasure and his law firm. Everyone was very professional and polite throughout my whole case. Chris made sure I was always in the loop about what was going on with medical providers, at fault driver, etc. The whole team was considerate and made sure that I understood everything that was said to me and/or before signing any paperwork. I am glad he and his team were able to represent me. Thank you!

I couldn’t have hired a better attorney. Sid Greehey had my charge dismissed in less than 4 months. He had no intention on having me take any plea deals and worked to have it dropped entirely. He communicated with me throughout the entire process, not just on my court dates. He went above and beyond to make sure the DA and judge was aware of the entire situation which sped up the process of dismissal. I am so thankful!

Hired this man to represent my family and at first he seemed so interested giving us false hope telling us our case was a win as soon as he got paid he vanished would call his office and never got an answer, he didn’t work on our case properly, didn’t gather evidence nothing! His secretary who is his sister would answer only when she wanted to and would always say he’s not in office or is out of town. He was never in town. Worst mistake was to hire this guy and pay so much money for nothing. Would call and text his phone and never get a response. Don’t waste your time the second you pay him he disappears

Don’t waste your money, he will get you the same deal as court appointed lawyer. You are paying for terry but he is not your lawyer nor does he pay attention to your case. Spend your money on a lawyer who is actually going to look at your case and help you.

Horrible!!! I paid for a contract which they claimed would take 10-15 minutes to complete, since it is something that can be completed super-fast. We then received a call 3 days later and they stated that they could not complete the contract but that they could not return our money back because they had worked on it. Are you kidding me??? They claimed that their time is valuable, but what about my time? I paid for “Professional” services but I got the most unprofessional treat, it’s been almost 2 weeks and I Never got at least an apology from this guy or the contract I paid for. I ended up doing the contract by myself. I do not recommend this business at all!!!!!!

I was given a recommendation to this attorney as a good DTPA attorney. My attorney contacted him and after discussing ongoing litigation was stated to return call on the following Tuesday. I called on Thursday to see why he hadn't returned call. He stated he had forgotten. We discussed case was going to discuss with his firm and get back to me that afternoon. No return call. Sent several emails and not even the courtesy to return the emails or simply say NO the Firm was not interested in the case. Why would I want representation from a lawyer that has no respect or decency of even a return call to turn down the offer of counsel. He clearly needs to learn respect and consideration.

Be careful calling for information from this office. On my first call there, Mary Alice seemed slightly pestered, to say the least, by my need for information, stating that another person had already called to ask similar questions. I explained that this other person was somewhat confused, so I wanted to hear it straight "from the horses mouth". On my second call, I encountered a fully irritated Mary Alice, so I thanked her for putting up with me and for causing so much agitation. I do not plan on calling again, even if my loved ones life depends on it. Praying God softens these peoples hearts with compassion, sympathy and a better understanding for client's needs, in Jesus' name, AMEN.

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
