I had the Kent Anderson Law Office prepare my 2021 taxes for me. They did an excellent job and would highly recommend them. It was done quickly and very professionally.

Kent Anderson saved our house! After a significant drop in income my wife and I were having serious financial difficulties, bills were piling up unpaid, our credit cards were maxed and we were falling farther and farther behind. When the foreclosure notice came we didn’t know what we were going to do.
Kent Anderson was our saviour. He assessed our situation, gave us all the options and helped us to make an informed decision. But he didn’t stop there. He kept working for us over several years keeping our mortgage lender at bay, continuing to look for solutions when we thought it was hopeless, eventually getting our lender to modify our mortgage to a payment we could afford.
Kent Anderson is a great attorney and a genuinely good person who cares about his clients. I have recommended him many times and would again wholeheartedly.

Kent Anderson is a no nonsense yet compassionate practitioner that holds a genuine concern for his client and those effected by the short and long term impact (positive and negative) of bankruptcy. In short, Mr Anderson and his competent staff guided me through the toughest business and subsequent legal decision experienced in my 4 decade professional carrier, closing with positive results. Kent's advice was timely and spot on! As painful as the bankruptcy process is, I couldn't have asked for better counsel. Kent Anderson Law Firm has my unconditional recommendation and heartfelt thanks.

I am an attorney; Frank Gibson was recommended to me by numerous colleagues when I needed help with a real estate matter. Working with him was like a master class in how to practice law-- he is emotionally intelligent, proved very knowledgeable about the area of law in question, and was respectful of my time. While he was not inexpensive, he was worth every penny I paid him. I can see why he is so highly regarded by other lawyers in the community.

I retained Mr Gibson to obtain guardianship of a family member. He went over and beyond in helping me obtain guardianship, and kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend him to any family who needs to obtain guardianship, especially under the highly stressful and emotional time a family may face when needing to obtain guardianship of an adult. All aspects were handled promptly and professionaly.

Frank is the closest thing I can think of to my “ideal” attorney. I am involved in a case against a family member over the estate of my grandmother. Frank has taken an emotionally-charged, seemingly-complicated dysfunctional family dynamic and broken it down into easy-to-understand, core elements. I think his assessment of the situation will help opposing council (or a judge, if it comes to that) see the "holes" in their case and lead to a resolution in my favor.
He is clear-headed and always open to negotiation, but also willing to go to bat for me when needed. His legal knowledge is amazing. When opposing council makes unreasonable statements that make me want to get up and hurl obscenities, Frank quickly and calmly objects with some point of law that completely takes the wind out of their statement. And I have to admit, this is more satisfying than hurling obscenities.
When I first looked for an attorney in this case, I was aware that I was very emotional and could be taken advantage of. Initially I was guarded with Frank, but soon realized that although he was dedicated to this case, he was also willing to come away with less (for him and me), if it meant a faster resolution and less emotional toll for me (if that's what I wanted). He has helped me stand up for myself and fight for what I believe in and what I believe my grandmother wanted for me.

A friend referred my husband and I to Zach to help us with an estate plan.

Zachary is clearly very knowledgable in his field and was able to assist us with our estate planning, accounting for numerous factors which we would not have been able to do on our own. This firm is very professional and easy to work with - up front about cost, good communication. We are so glad we chose them to help with our estate planning. Thank you so much!

I must admit that I had gotten very lax in keeping up with the annual reporting requirements for my corporation. I hired Ms Hill to make sure I was in compliance, and to make sure I STAY that way! Now, my mind is at ease knowing that my corporation's Annual Minutes, Articles of Incorporation, and all other important corporate filings and documents are prepared correctly and are safely in the hands of a highly competent attorney. I can't recommend Emily highly enough. Ms Hill is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to work with!

I find that when I have an idea that I think needs to be looked into, she listens and gives me some feed back as to good or bad . Her response to emails is almost immediate. She seems to be available almost anytime day or night. When she was a paralegal I told her she was going to be a good lawyer because she cares. No one can ask for more.

I hired Juliana to help me with my SAIF claim. I injured by back, and SAIF accepted a strain. I had a lot more problems than that, and she got my other conditions accepted. She and her staff worked tirelessly on my case, answered my questions, and explained how the system works to me. Thanks to their work, I got a good permanent disability award and I am being retrained. At the end, I could not believe they had done all that work and because of the law, not get paid. In spite of that, Juliana and her whole staff were kind and gracious and treated me with respect at all times. If I ever need a lawyer again, she's the first call I'm going to make.

Jesse London is one of the hardest working, smartest attorney's you will find. He was dogged in pursuit of facts to prove my case. He worked endless hours reviewing SQL code and spreadsheets, researching the legal requirements and formatting for court preparation. He motions were clear, well researched and rigorous.
Moreover, Jesse is a really good person that works tirelessly for his clients. He is assessable, prompt to return calls or emails, never leave you guessing.

I have been an instructor and advisor of managers and owners of manufactured home parks for over 13 years. I have referred several parks to Jim Gardner, and his brother Alan for eviction work, and all give Jim high marks (Alan retired recently). If you are a park-owner, you need a lawyer who knows manufactured home park law. Jim fits that description.

I was going through an emotional divorce and Chris was referred to me by a colleague. He kept me informed every step of the way and in moments when I had doubts, when I felt afraid, he made himself available to offer counsel and support. I appreciated his sense of humor and encouragement regarding life after the divorce; He probably works on a lot of divorces, but I never felt that mine was unimportant; He listened and I felt heard.
In the end, the details were settled as he assured me on multiple occasions that they would be.
Highly recommend this attorney.

Kristie is phenomenal to work with. She is very knowledgeable and very fair.
Kristie was extremely diligent in registering our new trademarks and making sure we were current on our existing ones. We had other attorney's in the past that let some trademarks expire, not Kristie, she is exceptionally punctuational. We have never had a problem since she took over our trademarks. She was able to take care of our foreign ones as well.
Kristie was also instrumental in helping with our international law needs. Her international law knowledge was invaluable, especially dealing with trade issues we had in Asia and the Middle East. She was very helpful in helping us understand Harmonized Tariff Codes and Incoterms. Kristie also was very helpful in guiding us through the quagmire of possible employment issues in Europe.
Kristie is very good at taking exceptionally complex legal issues and translating them into layman's terms that I could understand.
I highly recommend Kristie.

Jordan is amazing at what he does. He's very cool headed and does a great job removing emotions from the equation while focusing on the facts and presenting them in a way that will be received well in the court room. He got me through a parenting time enforcement and two separate parenting modifications over the course of my military career. He did a phenomenal job highlighting that I was a highly involved, loving and caring father in spite of my occupation creating distance between me and the kids and a very resentful ex spouse who actively tried to limit my access to our children. Each time he was able to come away with a favorable outcome. He was even able to overcome a parenting time evaluators recommendation and help me win equal access parenting once my time in service ended and I was able to move back to the area. I can't thank him enough for all that he's done for my family and I highly recommend his services if you find yourself in need of them.

Stephanie was very responsive when asked to meet. We made it clear to her we had a short timeline to get a sales agreement together to buy a business & to work with the seller's attorney to expedite. She not only met our timeline but got our business registered w/the state of Oregon & took care of any other legal/background issues we were not privy to. I would recommend her for the value you get for what she charges, her personability, & her operation in a small town makes her sense of community much more important to her & her client.

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.
