We came to Virginia last year because we received multiple offers to buy our mineral rights. Virginia thoroughly investigated what we owned, and with her insight and advice, we made the best decision regarding how we should proceed. And because of her knowledge of the oil and gas industry, we are in much better shape in handling any future issues that may accompany our mineral rights, whereas before we had no clue what we were doing.

I hired Virginia to help with a complicated Division Order and casually mentioned a problem with another property that was "held by production" with a stripper well when large wells were producing on adjoining propteries on three sides of our land. Other lawyers had told me there wasn't much I could do and I thought getting a farmout was an impossibility. Virginia cited Texas laws and decisions that were petinent to our case and said we had a good chance to get a farmout. Her experience in Texas oil and gas practice, knowledge of the laws involved and the ability to push the proper buttons resulted in the farmout we wanted, damages and royalty increase from 12 1/2% to 20%. All this was accomplished without litigation.We have other Texas minerals and will turn to Virginia for help in all OGM matters. .

Rather than just sign a proposed lease, decided to have Ms Moore review and give an opinion. Wow! Sure glad we did. She not only had important changes to recommend but also was successful in getting a much better lease bonus for us. A pleasure working with her.

Donna is a compassionate attorney who goes above and beyond to help others. During a very sad time in my life, due to the death of a family member, she took control and helped out with a settlement of an estate that had no will. She and her staff were great with communication in regards to court dates and information received from other parties. The results of the matter far exceeded what was expected. give her a call. It will be the best decision you ever make. Thanks Donna and team!

I had an excellent experience working with Itamar Gelbman, I was involved in a real estate transaction where the buyer failed to perform in good faith to obtain third-party financing. Itamar stepped in and immediately provided a demand letter upon my request. He represented me in dealing with the buyer's lawyer, and thanks to his actions, the buyer promptly released the earnest money. Itamar's responsiveness and legal expertise were impressive, and I highly recommend him for any real estate legal matters!

I was having major issues with my landlord and I knew that I need an attorney who could help me terminate my lease based on the condition of the home. I was referred to Itamar and he immediately assured me that my landlord was in the wrong and gave me clear direction on how we can get the lease terminated. We were able to get our lease terminated in less than a week! He did a fantastic job and he was an excellent communicator. I have since referred two of my friends to him. I highly recommend Itamar Gelbman.

He doesn't own a large firm with all of the trappings of a big-time lawyer. His laid back approach and method of delivery makes him very good at getting those corporate lawyers believe they're dealing with someone they can disregard. But that's when the experience and wisdom of his knowledge of how a contract will be interpreted and how to ensure his client gets the best deal possible given the situation. Pressed for time, limited resources and a $1M lawsuit staring me in the face for non-compete violation (allegedly) and an injunction preventing me from running my new business, prevented from working in my area of expertise along with the $1M suit made for a bad few weeks. Chuck recommended mediation and we didn't win everything we wanted. But we got a little more than I needed to proceed. Highly Recommended - Just be sure to bring a lot of $$, but it's worth it. Thanks Chuck

I’ve worked with Steven and Dustin both who have always gone out of their way to address my needs. If you are looking for people you can rely on who are highly knowledgeable professionals, you will not regret their service. I have worked with them on LLC creation, copyright legalities, and business contracts. 5 stars indeed!

My case was a “long-shot” - with the other side having the heavy arsenal of a life insurance carrier. I’m forever thankful I didn’t listen to the negative voices and only the voice that gave me Nelson Law Firm’s number. They were detail driven and put together a case that ended with a positive outcome. I want to bring attention and thank one of their younger talents for his research and skilled verbiage - Cullen Angonia . Thank you for all .

What a nightmare experience I had with this lawyer. I hired and paid Mark Grosso up front to represent my son with some marijuana charges. My son was put on a program where if he stayed out of trouble for 2 years the charges would be dismissed and his record was eligible to be expunged. I paid Mark Grosso to have him represent my son and to file the expunction order. When 2 years were up and it was time to file the expunction, Mark completely forgot. I emailed Mark constantly to remind him to file the expunction and he wouldn't respond or responded with a promise to take care of it but never did. I finally contacted the Texas Bar Association to see if they could assist me. The bar told me the first step in the process of the Bar helping me was to write a letter to Mark and deliver it to him. I looked up his office address online and found 2 addresses for him. I went to both. One was not even a real address and the other one was an office but not for him. I finally looked up his home address in the tax records and went by his home to deliver the letter. He came to the door and asked me to give him another chance - he promised to take care of the expunction. I decided to give him another chance but again, he never filed it. I went back to the house again and this time I spoke to his wife. His wife said "oh, this is not like my husband at all" She called him and of course he answered his wife's call. More promises from Mark to take care of it. When he finally filed the expunction, he filed it incorrectly - twice. It was 2 years late before he finally did it a 3rd time and did it correctly. Save yourself a lot of trouble and anxiety and stay away from hiring this man.

Without going into the details of my situation while working with Eric Dankesreiter, I would rate him as below average. He relied too much on intimidation/threats and made statements that were not factually accurate while representing my position. It was a bit embarrassing and not very professional. I would not recommend him.

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.
