All employees (lawyer, intake, assistant, etc.) I communicated with worked professionally, and not overbearingly. My issue was resolved in a timely manner. The lawyer communicated as needed to provide appropriate information and feedback about what to do and what to expect. It took approximately two months until the case was finally settled. I appreciate their help.

Auto Law Firm was wonderful to work with. We were unaware we purchased a car without a title and we were unable to get the dealership to buy the car back ourselves. We decided to hire Auto Law Firm to help us with this case. The dealership ended up purchasing the car back and giving back our car payments we have made. The communication was great with Auto Law and everything went smoothly. I would definitely hire them again!

I began working with MRS. Grzechnik in September of 2014, and as time progressed my case became more and more complex. Mrs. Grzechnik kept me well informed and gave me good faith in her abilities as an attorney. I am very pleased with the results that MRS. Grzechnik achieved for me in this case. Despite the odds of fighting against the paternal Grandmother of my stepchild, we achieved what was thought to be the impossible and I was granted full custody of my stepdaughter. MRS. Grzechnik is a very reliable attorney. At the end of the day i couldn't have been happier with the results of her hard work. I highly suggest to anyone seeking legal representation to consult MRS. Grzechnik

Mrs. Grzechnik is very reliable. When sent questions or when I asked for updates, I had answers by the close of business the same day. Most times within the hour. She kept me informed of everything as we went and if she didn't know the answer to something she went the extra mile to find out who, what, why or when. She showed early for court letting me know she was there and doing her best to help me. By the time I had to stand in front of the judge, I didn't have to say anything because she had everything taken care of before hand.

Honest, trustworthy, and hard-working Attorney. Understands the value of maintaining an open line of communication with the Client and charges a very reasonable flat-rate fee (i.e. no hidden charges). Answers questions promptly (i.e. same day response). I hired Attorney Grzechnik to complete two (2) debt settlement(s). First debt settlement negotiation began September 2014 and was completed smoothly and expeditiously (less than 90 days start to finish). Second debt settlement negotiation began very recently and is still outstanding; however, I have complete confidence that Attorney Grzechnik will handle the second settlement with no problems whatsoever. Up to this point I can honestly say that I know I made the right choice when I hired Attorney Grzechnik. If you currently have an issue with a creditor or a debt collector, or if you even remotely feel like you may need to hire an Attorney, you should definitely stop wasting time reading on the internet and start taking action now (i.e. contact Attorney Grzechnik). My only regret so far is that I didn’t contact Attorney Grzechnik earlier. My advice to anyone reading this post: Pick up the phone right now and schedule a consult with Attorney Grzechnik. Don’t make the same mistake I made. The longer you wait the worse your situation becomes. Pick up the phone. Schedule a consult. Attorney Grzechnik will help you. Trust me.

Ingrid is someone I can trust with my most important decisions. She's been my attorney for several years but most recently, she advised me not to use her for an issue where I felt an attorney would be the right course of action. Instead, she assured me that I could handle the situation on my own. This meant a lot to my husband and me because Ingrid confirmed (yet again) that her ethics and integrity are the foundational principles on which she built her business. It is for those reasons Ingrid will continue to always be the first person I contact for important decisions and the attorney for all my legal needs.

Ingrid has helped me in many legal ways over the past several years. I dealt with insurance issues, employment issues, and contracts. In all cases, Ingrid was fast to respond, direct with her communication in a way that was easy for me to understand, and extremely affordable. I highly recommend Ingrid Rainey's services as an attorney and appreciate the way she made me feel as though I was more than a client her; I felt like a friend.

Mr. Lund took my case after I had inherited my fathers estate. I was being sued for the litigation my dad had started. The opposing legal team was trying to go after me for the suit my father had started with a different attorney . I needed powerful representation and quickly. After meeting with Mr. Lund I felt that I had a great person on my side. The case took quite a bit of effort to resolve, the other side played very aggressively , mr. Lund was very creative in pushing them into a reasonable settlement.

We performed a lot of research before choosing White and Bright for our estate planning needs, and the reviews we read were right, this is a very [very] friendly, competent and highly professional team. We worked with Bridget Burns, one of the partners and Ian Edwards and can fully recommend this company without reservation, they were awesome in every way. We're looking forward to a long relationship with the team as we continue to plan our future. For context, we're fair but tough reviewers, but I can tell you if there were six stars we would have given them six. Highly recommended!!!!!

I just have to say that this man remembers my case after 37 years in such great detail I was stunned. My case occurred in 1985 when he was a young ADA in Riverside California and I was a 10 year old victim of phedophile Able Delbert Perkins. As a little girl he gave me his personal phone number and I called him many times over the 2 years my case was in court he comforted me in ways I’m sure he doesn’t even know. I called him yesterday and even though my case was 37 years ago he and I talked about it in great detail and it gave me some comfort to know that even though the perpetrator is gone my pain hasn’t been forgotten by this amazing person who prosecuted my abuser to the fullness extent of the law at that time. He is not only an amazing attorney, but a thoughtful human being. I would recommend this man 100% of he’s on your side you are truly a winner. Thank you Hank

The Lord God enthrone this dutiful lawyer equip with sufficient knowledge, wisdom and strength to deliver satisfactory service above and beyond expectation levels expected of him by his master. As God demands surprising acceptable aroma of obedience, this Lawyer has set an example and demonstration of a good shepherd who lays down his own life against an army of wolfs that attack/eat the sheep entrusted to him, The whole community of San Diego is the army of wolfs attacking the Rancho Guejito which is now being prevented and obstructed from advancement of civilization in that Ranch. I personally admire this Lawyer, HENRY P. RUPP, who took the pain of 20 long school years, just to be accepted polished person above the bar and who now has the strength and power to sue the San Diego County that prevent economic progress in that farm. The Rancho Guejito Corporation is the one taking the pain of spending $ million for improvements and maintenance in that farm land but the San Diego County even spend millions in Attorney Fees just to stop economic progress in that Ranch. Instead, the San Diego County spend $ millions constructing football stadiums that stop people from working and that is not even an industrial production entity. God intentionally made man in His image and in His likeness -- meaning -- as Holy as He is and as powerful as He is. This means -- that man is supposed to be able to move mountains and transfer oceans. Man is commanded to subdue the whole planet earth, breed and multiply to fill up the whole planet with people to the ends of the earth, but until now man has failed and we did not fill the oceans yet with people. The Muslims are obedient to some extent because they even have to marry 10 wives just to expedite the production of many people to inhabit the whole planet. Man is commanded to productively cultivate the whole planet earth to feed the burgeoning population -- that is -- no stone is left unturned on top of another. In view of the above, the big question now is: why now the San Diego County prevent economic production on the meager 23,000 acres Rancho Huejito and want to annex it to the 10,000,000 acres Cleveland National Forest -- stop civilization in those behemoth areas and leave it as fireman's playground. In fact, that so called forest is not even a shadow of a forest, but just comprise of cactus, small brown grass and small/dwarf chaparrals and not even one avocado tree is planted by the government, It is an insult to God's will if we do not cultivate the forest into productivity Remember that God is the King above all kings, His word is the law and we must accept that God is not democratic -- he wants His commandments be obeyed even without His presence. Unfortunately, the god of this world is Satan who wants every one to live in slum poverty and be satisfied living poor by eating cactus. As God has entrusted to man the whole planet earth, let us glorify His name and His kingdom, by nurturing His trust on us. Let us therefore make use of every square inch of the land, by converting all the lands into avocado forest, into windmill forest, into lobster fishponds, into solar power forest and mushroom/earthworm beds under the avocado trees -- so that we can feed millions of children. The government must subsidize avocado plantation in all forest. Glory to God in the highest. Noah's Ark

Extremely unhappy with David J. O'Connell service. We were way overcharged. We hired him to review 4 page property management agreement, that takes average person 20 minutes to read, it took him 2 hours(!!!!) to read/analyze what he him self called "boilerplate" standard agreement, and he is in real estate attorney business, we assumed it will be very quick for him to review and say if there are any traps in that agreement! He also took another 30 minutes to write us an email where he advised 4 different firms/people for us to use when we didn't ask for any referrals, so we paid him to advertise his friends to us.

David did for me in 5 minutes what my realtor and escrow couldn't do in weeks! We were trying to clear a lien from a title and couldn't find the people involved. But David did it in a flash--contacted the people and resolved what could have been costly issues in one visit. Plus a week ago I had a general question and he took the time to call me and discuss it--even though at that point we were not going to hire him for legal needs.

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.
