I was so fortunate to find Mr. Nesbitt on my google search when I needed assistance with a realestate issue. He was very knowledgable of real estate law and professional in his interactions with the opposing attorney. He listened to details of the events with patience and understanding and developed a plan of action which yeilded excellent results. He kept me informed at every step and ensured I was included in all necessary decisions.
I would be most happy to work with Mr. Nesbitt again if the need ever presented itself.

My husband and I recently leased our first commercial space are glad we chose Eric and his team to assist us. Eric provided us with excellent insight which allowed us to make the best decisions possible for our business. He really listened to what was important to us and having him in our corner helped us feel empowered during the negotiation process. Eric was responsive, respectful and an overall pleasure to work with. We will absolutely use him in the future!

Jack Kaufman shows from the very get-go that he takes interest in you as more than just a client. Jack wants you to succeed. Jack wants you to live well.
Moreover, Jack managed to achieve an outcome I did not even foresee as a possibility. I gave him little to work with, seeing as I was lost and confused myself with a 5 year outstanding traffic violation. I had no idea where to begin, let alone where we would end up.
Jack's confidence had me resting easy in the back chair within minutes. Not only that, but that confidence never fell by his wayside.
Jack showed up to my final court appearance, in my stead. I had the wrong date written and we had not discussed court appearances earlier that day or any point prior. To be clear, Jack Kaufman is the reason a warrant for my arrest was not released over a traffic violation and my own absent-mindedness.
Jack will guide you through the system and inform you of every decision-making process along the way.
Jack Kaufman is personable.
Jack Kaufman is professional.
Jack Kaufman cares.
Please support a lawyer of this caliber. I consider him a friend above legal representation after our case together.

Attorney Flinders did an outstanding job. I am so grateful. He is kind and has great people skills, which I believe made it difficult for the insurance company to give him a hard time. He always returned emails and phone calls. You will not be disappointed with Flinders Law

Craig has represented me on three matters all with positive outcomes and all very different from the others. Craig's approach was specific to each situation while he saw each through to conclusion. He is diligent in his approach while taking your personal situation into account. You will not find a better attorney nor person to represent you at the time you need someone to represent you most.

As Vice President and Corporate Counsel for an insurance company I hired hundreds of law firms in 25 years of professional experience. Brett Godfrey and his firm is the elite of the elite. He knows how to bring cases to a conclusion in the quickest and best possible manner. He was without peer in his litigation skills. His approach to each case is thoroughly analyzed and iimmediately put in posture to settle--or litigate. Legal skills combined with most impressive ethics make this a unique firm.

In 25 years of General Counsel work, expert witness work and hiring hundreds for firms for all kinds of litigation, Brett Godfrey is the cream of the crop.
His best recommndation is he knows how to get cases resolved. His intelligence and imagination to litigation are unequaled and he combines a cocker spaniel approach with a rottweiler bite---especially if the case requires litigation.
Yourr website below is limiting------- I have worked with Godfrey on many types of cases.

We hired Mark Levy because we felt we weren't being treated fairly by American Family Insurance Company. We had significant damage to our house as the result of a storm and our insurance company was refusing to pay for the damage despite an umpire’s judgement. We were feeling very vulnerable and were confused by the legal issue issues in this matter. Mark took the time to explain the legal issues including the strengths and weaknesses in our case. Mark was responsive to our questions and concerns. He was professional, hopeful and honest and not unreasonably optimistic. Everyone in Mark's office was professional, courteous and available. It was never a problem to talk with Mark if we had questions. The other lawyers in his office were always available if Mark was away from the office. Everyone always seem to be up to date in terms of the issues of our case. Throughout the course of this matter his office was in constant communication with us. Ultimately our case was settled in mediation. Mark was a tenacious and tough negotiator. He was excellent partner during the course of this most stressful event. We would highly recommend Mark if you need an excellent lawyer to represent you against your insurance company.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Travis Legal Offices for my legal needs, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the moment I reached out for a consultation, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely interested in my case.
The attorneys I worked with demonstrated extensive knowledge in their field and took the time to explain the legal processes clearly. They were always available to answer my questions, which made navigating the complexities of my situation much less daunting.
What stood out the most was their commitment to my case. They approached every detail with diligence and care, ensuring that my best interests were prioritized throughout the process. The outcome was favorable, and I felt supported every step of the way.
If you're in need of legal representation, I highly recommend Travis Legal Offices. Their expertise and dedication make them a standout choice in the legal community.

Being involved in a DUI hit and run is scary and difficult to navigate. A good friend of mine recommended I give the Travis family a call to discuss my case. I am so glad I did. Todd, Susan and Jordan were amazing. They walked me through the process step by step, and that all started with a telephone consult. They are like family to me, and if the need ever arises, I will seek out their expertise again. I even referred them to a family member, and she had just as good results. A friend and client, for life!!!!

I had reached out to Elliot after finding him on Google. I needed assistance on a potential case. After explaining my case, he didn't bother to ask any follow up questions and concluded the conversation by saying he had more interesting cases he wanted to deal with. Kind of rude to say to someone looking for an attorney if you ask me. I'm glad I didn't move forward with him as an attorney. Be careful when you consider him to represent you!

If you look online at her current cases, Margaret’s tactics are to lye & wait and she will do this for months, if not years. She will not contact the DA. She was hardly proactive at all. Her demeanor was polite. But it was not worth more than 5000 alone. Forget the comments below believe me when I say you will play the roll of your own Attorney if you hire this one. Half the time you’re lucky if she reaches out or returns a single phone call/text , & doesn’t make you feel ridiculous for asking questions about your case. please continue looking elsewhere. If I had it to do over again, I would!!

Highly Recommend Burg Simpson and Stephan
I cannot express enough gratitude to Stephan and the entire team at Burg Simpson for their exceptional work on my case over the past four years. Their dedication, expertise, and professionalism have been extraordinary.
Stephan’s skills and experience were invaluable in navigating the complexities of my workers’ compensation case. His straightforward and candid approach gave me a much clearer understanding of the process, even when it felt shrewd and unjust at times. His guidance helped me come to terms with the realities of the system and focus on moving forward.
The team’s unwavering commitment and hard work made a lasting impact, providing much-needed relief and clarity during an incredibly challenging time in my life. I feel extremely fortunate to have had such a talented and compassionate group of professionals on my side.
I wholeheartedly recommend Burg Simpson to anyone in need of skilled and dedicated legal representation.

Moeller Graf is top tier attorneys with the entire firm. I would highly suggest any association to subscribe to their services. David Parker & Christian Webert are always available when I need legal advice or explanation of condo declarations. Alexis Frick is amazing at collections process for delinquent accounts and very responsive. Brittany and Ashley go above and beyond with customer service.

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.
