Our business is very niche, so our legal requirements are can be complex, unusual and take time. Frank streamlines the legal process, helps us make strong Legal and Business decisions. More importantly they have help us collect on Tens of Thousands of dollars of Loss of Use revenue and damage claims. It is nice to know that we have a Law firm that works hard for us and cares about our financial profitability. I would highly recommend Frank and his group they are simply fantastic.

Amy Brown introduces herself to me last November for the first time via a personal phone call. After nearly 18 months of unsatisfactory communication from any one else at the office of Russell & Hill, I finally felt my case mattered to someone there! Ms. Brown kept me consistently informed about every step in process going forward from then on. She was always professional, polite and knowledgeable when she would converse with me. I felt l was genuinely counseled, with my best interest considered, by Ms. Brown. I will highly recommend Amy Brown as a trusted legal representative. She restored my respect and faith in the law office of Russell and Hill.

Seth is nothing short of exceptional. I had to make changes to my LLC so that I could work outside the US and I had some basic legal questions. However, after speaking with Seth it turned out to be a much more complicated process than I ever imagined. He guided me through the entire process including who I needed to contact for registration in Canada and how to navigate tax issues. Seth is the only lawyer who I feel completely comfortable working with for my company.

Seth and I have worked together on the creation of a LLC entity holding a long distance real estate investment property. He frequently went above and beyond to ensure the work was as perfect as possible. He always made sure to answer my multiple questions nicely and fully while providing transparency of the whole end to end process. Once the entity was created and he received his payment he still made sure I had everything I needed and stayed very responsive to my emails. There is no doubt that I will go reach back to him in the event I need further legal help.

Josh is a very professional yet personal attorney. He cares enough to look over the whole case, to find and act on the inconsistencies in the discovery. He listened and supported my defense without making me feel uncomfortable in any way. He even went out of his way to help my witnesses feel comfortable about a rather embarrassing element that was part of the trial. i have never felt so comfortable and been so happy with any legal professional. All that and positive results, you cant beat Josh Field "Superstar"

In 2003 I retained Stephen to strategize and file all SEC documents on my behalf in a proxy contest election (which I won). Since 2003 he has handled all the securities work for my firm, including a partial self tender offer and defending two proxy contest against my company. He has attended every board meeting of my company in the past 11 years (50+); never missing one of them. Stephen has my highest recommendation.

We are so happy to have accidentally discovered Jelsing Tri West & Andruss PLLC in Everett, where Mark Jelsing practices. We couldn't be happier with everyone. We went to the firm for a different matter, but when it came time to work on some estate planning, Mark was the best. As a recent graduate, when he didn't know an answer to something (we had a very complex situation involving multiple entities and states), he was able to get some advice from his dad, who is a founding member of the firm. He also did a brilliant job handling a very special and extremely urgent estate matter that popped up on us unexpectedly. I think Mark and the whole firm are great and we plan to do our "lawyering" there for many, many years to come. I highly recommend Mark, et. al.!

Mark has been involved in this probate/estate case for nearly a year. I think I was one of his first clients. Boy did he get a good case to learn from! I became a widow after only 6 months of marriage and we had not taken care of wills, deeds, insurance, etc. So you can imagine the mess Mark had to try and get to the bottom of. I can say that through his diligence and my determination, I was able to save our home from foreclosure and after a year, was able to purchase our home from the bank. Oh, and by the way, the ex-wifes name was on the bank note, not the deed, but the bank didn't want to talk to me. Let me also include, to make matters worse, that the person named executor to our estate, nearly 12 years ago, was no longer fond of the deceased. It has been an uphill battle that is not finished, but, Mark has carried me with his determination, willingness to find the right path, forging ahead like a bulldog, and continues to move forward. This case is probably one of the most frustrating cases Mark will see in a long time, which could be the reason no other attorney I contacted was willing to take. Although the reason for needing an attorney is sad, Mark has worked hard to see the positive in everything he has done. He listened to my story with empathy and endured the many days of tears. Thank You Mark for your professionalism, empathy hard work and enduring spirit. You are the best!

Joel kept me informed, listened to my concerns and worked so very hard for me from beginning of the case to the very end of the case. I felt so fortunate to have his skill and tenacity on my side. If I ever need an attorney again, I will most definitely and without a doubt return to Joel Nichols.

He was a caring and compassionate advocate as well as an extremely smart and knowledgable attorney. He has my respect and my gratitude. I would recommend him to anyone. He obtained the outcome which guaranteed protection of both abused parties.

Tayah put me in touch with a network of professionals, and then led the team in managing my case. She negotiated successfully with the IRS and very quickly got them to stop wage garnishment, while making a plan for rectifying my tax situation. This is a very competent attorney that I would highly recommend.

Amy immediately broke down any cynicism I had about dealing with attorneys. She did so with her professionalism, honesty and ability to communicate. She took an awkward situation and reliably made the right decisions and did what was best for me and the case. When necessary, she was quick to address "bad news" directly, but with appropriate sympathy and sincerity. At no time did I ever feel "nickel-and-dimed" or taken advantage of. In fact, I believe she took every available opportunity to reduce the risk of unnecessary charges, maintaining concern for my budget as if it were her own. I would gladly recommend Amy and would certainly employ her services again if necessary. The "Excellent" ratings I provided were not taken lightly, nor were they submitted purely for the sake of quickly answering a survey. She truly did a great job.

Deane worked with us on our son's independent adoption. There were some complications with the birth father but those were worked out in a timely and efficient manner. From the time we first met to the finalization of the adoption was 4 months. It would have been 4-6 weeks had it not been for the paternal termination of rights. What I liked best about Deane was his communication and professionalism. Whenever I talk to friends who have adopted through agencies, they describe a long and drawn out process and inattention from lawyers and social workers. Our experience was exactly the opposite. We are very happy that Deane was referred to us and served us well.

completion, I was fortunate enough to find Scott. It felt like divine intervention, as he is not only compassionate but also a lawyer who genuinely prioritizes doing the right thing. I’m incredibly grateful to have found him on Avvo. Even before I officially retained him, Scott took the time to thoroughly understand my case and thoughtfully laid out my options, explaining what steps to take and which ones to avoid. His approach was both professional and reassuring. I truly wish I had discovered Scott earlier during my divorce proceedings. For anyone navigating the difficult path of a divorce, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to him. He is a steadfast advocate, and his team provides exceptional support to ensure the best outcomes.

Nicholas Fisher handled Escrow for a very complicated commercial property that I brokered. He was able to bring together folks from different cultures and make certain that we all communicated with ease and clarity. His expertise and instincts are phenomenal.

Mr. Fisher represented me in a civil matter recently. We obtained a judgment and have been successful in collecting from the other side. He advised on the best course of action to take and backed up his recommendation with applicable statutes and contingency plans that we could take, should the need to do so arise. Mr. Fisher has also provided guidance on tax matters and other financial/real estate related. I highly recommend him.

05 Feb, 2018 by Richard is disaapointed
Gave retainer in March 2017 to have IRS form 843 submitted. I did a follow up with him beginning in June 2017 and after repeated calls and emails I finally got a call in July of 2017. he didn't submit power of attorney form in March but is doing it now (July 2017). in August he made a correction or clarification on the filing of the 2848 form.I attempted several follow up calls and emails from November 2017 through my last on in January 2018. None have been responded too. Finally decided I had no choice but to first dispute my charges with my credit card company so I could get my retainer back, fire Nic, and now get someone else to file the form 843 for me. I'm pretty patient and allowed him ample time to make progress (over 10 months) and in the end, he barely took the time to file form 2848 (power of attorney) with the IRS. Lack of professionalism by not doing the work, not keeping me informed, not returning my calls, and not responding to my emails. I wasn't over the top in my requests....perhaps three messages and two or three follow up emails from August 2017 to January 2018. Now I had to take the time to actually sit here and write this complaint. You now owe me for my time Nic.

completion, I was fortunate enough to find Scott. It felt like divine intervention, as he is not only compassionate but also a lawyer who genuinely prioritizes doing the right thing. I’m incredibly grateful to have found him on Avvo. Even before I officially retained him, Scott took the time to thoroughly understand my case and thoughtfully laid out my options, explaining what steps to take and which ones to avoid. His approach was both professional and reassuring. I truly wish I had discovered Scott earlier during my divorce proceedings. For anyone navigating the difficult path of a divorce, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to him. He is a steadfast advocate, and his team provides exceptional support to ensure the best outcomes.

G Geoffrey Gibbs and Ion Johnson are both commissioners for Snohomish County. Anderson Hunter is the legal counsel for Snohomish County. Anderson Hunter is also the legal counsel for Dawson Place. Anderson Hunter is also the legal counsel for Janice Ellis. Now why is this important? Janice Ellis paid 300,000.00 (yes I have the check) that earns her 12% on her return on her money. Now the county is CO-OWNERS of Dawson Place (with a Judge) Married Couples at the County that have conflicts; Please tell me you get this. Well it gets better. All these cases are not creditable because they are all invested in this "dawson Place" that is no more than the wolf's house hiding behind our victimized children...

Lawyers Alexandra VanBelle and Patrick Songy of Deno Millikan took on our family law case after getting no call backs from several other firms. It was my first time having to hire a lawyer and they talked me through everything and did a fantastic job navigating the newer and less common defacto parenting law. They were always available to answer questions and guide us through the difficult process. Thank you Alex and Patrick for helping us get the legal parenting rights for our grandchildren!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joel Nichols. When my existing attorney was no longer available, I reached out to Joel. He jumped right in without missing a beat. He brought my case to resolution in the few short months I worked with him. I loved his approach to being fully transparent - good or bad - and how often he would communicate, even if there wasn't an update. I'm pleased with the outcome of my case, and will work with Joel for any legal items I have in the future. He truly is the best and such a kind and caring man.

Melanie is THE lawyer you want. She saved me from a pretty big hole I dug myself by being in denial at my divorce was going to happen. She had brilliant strategies and never let me get sucked into the narrative by the other side. I ended up with a rather favorable settlement and it's 100% to Melanie's credit. She will not steer you wrong. Thank you, Melanie for all your hard work.

John Rosecrans (and his awesome team!) helped me through the most difficult time in my life. To John, it's about doing the right thing and making sure I am supported and properly informed of my options at every turn. My case is complex and messy, but that hasn't deterred John from helping me navigate the often-confusing and stressful process and aftermath of divorce. John, Leanne and Patty have always gone above and beyond, and for that I am forever grateful. I'd give 10 stars if I could!

Deeply unprofessional and discriminatory conduct from Theresa Lorella and this firm. Unethical law firm that refuses to provide an itemized receipt. Ms Lorella sold herself as being capable of the most difficult divorce settlements but after 3 months and tens of thousands of dollars later she was incapable of doing even the bare minimum such as get my non marital personal property back. Ms Lorella also engages in bigoted behavior and when her firm disciplined her for the matter she quit the next day in retaliation. If you are a member of any marginalized community you do not want to hire this law firm. I also believe there was a fraudulent use of funds and Ms Lorella’s relationship with opposing counsel was a serious issue. I do not believe she operated in good faith. Must be nice to collect a six figure paycheck off of the dissolution of families.

Leach was hired to represent me in a real estate litigation. After 5 years, Leach was appointed to a judge position and was unable to continue working on the case. To make matters worse, in that 5 year time period Leach never prepared the case for trial. I'm currently searching for a new attorney to take over the case for tril.

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.
