Received great advice from Mr. Armiger! He was honest and caring with my situation. He was humble enough to point me towards the proper firm for my issue. He also spent plenty of time with me to ease my concerns. My father was an attorney and I know "time is money" for most attorneys; however, Jonathan and his team spent time with me and made feel confident going forward. Good job all around!!!!

I had Linda Havel as an attorney and she was great in every way and is worth MORE than what she charged. I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle and suffered a head injury and was off from work for many months and the guy who hit me had no money but she was able to fix it where I had my hospital bills covered and my expenses covered while I was off work and ended up with a nice sum of money.

Linda was our first chose. We were nieve enough to think that being with a large insurance company we would protect us. When I had a motorcycle accident that involved a driver with the the state minual insurance. I had uninsured and underinsured coverage but that ment nothing to the insurance company, they jumped through hoops to avoid payment. I went through five different claims agents, while the company tried to ware us down. Linda stay with us, she fought like a bulldog, and we finally reached a settlement that we though was fair.

I have known Linda Havel for several years. She has represented interests both personally and professionally for me. The results in each instance exceeded my highest expectations. She is a skilled advocate and litigator. In one particular situation, which I can not by agreement be specific, she was able to obtain exactly the legal resolution that we engaged her to resolve but she even further got a significant financial resolution. If I need any legal representation or advice, she is my very first call.

Jeff continues to be an excellent legal representative for Zipline. He invested in the company in its earliest stages of development and provided guidance through our time of scaling and growth. Jeff established relationships with each of the members of my founding team and investors to gain personal insight into our operations, ultimately giving us the best care possible. I would highly recommend his legal services to anyone that I know.

Jefffey was recommended to me by a new friend. I needed some legal advice and services without spending a fortune. I have been pleasantly surprised. Jeff has been a tremendous help and done everything (and more) that I have asked of him. He has kept me informed and filed documents in advance of my requesting them. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance and sound, honest advice.

Through a referral, I was very pleased with the responsiveness and expertise from Mr. Cagnassola on my much needed help to register a few LLC companies with the State of Indiana. I was satisfied with his organizational information that helped me understand the process. I feel very comfortable getting back with his office should I need additional help.

Dave was a great lawyer to have both times I've needed him. He was extremely thorough and we went over all possible scenarios before we entered a plea. He kept some old offenses out of court for me and got me the bare minimum I could have expected for the plea. He's been there with the best advice in a timely fashion both times I've used his services. If I need him again, I'm glad he's there and he'll be the first person I call... but I really hope I don't need him again. :)

David is highly respected in his field and was referred to me by a dear friend. Dave was very compassionate about my legal situation and spent a great deal of time getting to know my relevant personal history and personality which helped our case in the end. Dave was very responsive and extremely helpful in offering advice during our 9 month pending case. His suggestions and encouragement along the way helped me to get the help I needed outside of my legal issues. I would recommend David Seiter if you are serious about a positive outcome in your case, especially if you are willing to go the extra mile to get the help you need, under the guidance of his team. Thank You so much, Dave!

Amy and Alex were GREAT!!! I have been fighting the same battle with my sons mother for probably 9 years now. The first attorney didn't accomplish much other than getting a divorce decree signed. The second attorney got paid alot of money to sit next to me in the court room - that's about all he did. Amy and Alex were EXCELLENT in court - Amy argued my case extremely well and brought to light contradictions in oppositions testimony and arguement that I had never even noticed over the past 9 years. They put in the time and effort necessary to prepare for court instead of looking over a file for a few minutes before they walked in the court room as my previous attorneys have done, they were accessible when I needed them in an emergency, and they were patient with me and even comforting when the process became overwhelming. No attorneys have ever performed to provide a better result than Amy and Alex and I couldn't be more grateful for their representation.

Then has been busy during Dec and hoping he takes client interest as Paramount. He is in the process of settlement talks and I will update this review once process is completed. Fingers crossed.

I went through the Indiana DOL for non-payment of wages from an employer late in 2014. The DOL issued a letter that demanded payment from this employer. Mr. Weldy contacted me via e-mail informing me of the possibility of collecting damages for the late payment of wages, which I did not know I was entitled to. I was skeptical at first, but agreed to a phone conversation, and eventually agreed to pursue legal action with Mr. Weldy. Since I am not from the Indianapolis area, we communicated via phone and e-mail. Mr. Weldy always responded promptly and was readily available on weekends and during late hours, since my work schedule did not accommodate his office hours. He filed this suit immediately, and my case was resolved within a few months. I am very happy with the level of professionalism and treatment that I received while working with Mr. Weldy. I would definitely recommend him to any friends and/or family members. Not only did he respond and provide due diligence in his professional responsibilities, he went above and beyond on a personal level. There were many times we spoke when my toddler was around and many times I contacted him on the weekend. He was always understanding of normal life activities going on and was always extremely pleasurable to do business with.

I called to schedule a paid consultation so one of their attorneys could explain the eminent domain process and the receptionist refused to schedule it because "the attorney can't give legal advice." I never asked for advice. I just wanted to pay an attorney to explain the process to me. I will definitely look elsewhere if I end up receiving an eminent domain notice.

I actually avoided the other attorney and let Steve finish the settlement for me. Maybe his personality was just better for me. He’s a very good attorney.

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.
