We would highly recommend attorney Scott Kuhn. After speaking with his legal staff who were very pleasant and professional a free consultation was scheduled.We spoke on the phone with Attorney Kuhn about possibly pursuing a lawsuit. He took his time and after listening to the details he felt we might have a case and asked us to sent supporting documentation so he could review it. We signed a retainer and sent the required fee. After reviewing the documents Attorney Kuhn called us to say he thought that the cost and time may not be beneficial for us, but, if we chose to go forward he would support our decision. After discussing our options we decided not to pursue the lawsuit. He said he would be returning our full retainer. We said he should keep some money as he did spend time looking over and discussing our options. He said he would not. It was so refreshing to come across an honest lawyer! Thank you Attorney Scott Kuhn!

Four months ago my husband and I retained Scott Kuhn to handle an estate matter where time was of the essence. By the third month of no action taken, we became concerned. Set up two conference calls in a row to get a status update and were rescheduled the first time, and then left standing by waiting for a call for an hour and a half to learn that Scott wasn't even in the building and would need to reschedule again. We asked for our file and were returned our work product going into month 4 he drafted an email! to us saying we didn't have much of a case. Meanwhile we needed representation at a meeting and Scott failed to return our calls. We were completely abandoned and his neglect damaged our bargaining strength. Have consulted 3 different attorneys who think the case has merit and all willing to get to work! Regret the day we retained Scott- who has ghosted our request for return of our retainer- Not a harsh critic of other attorneys because I am an attorney- but this man tooknour money and sis absolutely nothing- - I fell for the good reviews- I hope you don't!

We could not have asked for a better team!!! Everyone supported us through this horrible event with a local home builder wiping out our life savings and stripping us of our dream home. I feel that we gained friends and an amazing legal team!!! Richard, Jasena, Tracey. All fantastic.

Susan Ayers with ZinnLaw did a great job on my case. She got me an excellent outcome where other attorneys had failed getting to resolution of my case. There were a lot of documents but she did an excellent job analyzing them and conveying the information clearly to opposing counsel in a way that she negotiated us an outstanding settlement. Susan Ayers cared about my case and tended to it as if I were own family member. If I ever need legal assistance again, I wouldn't hesitate to call Susan Z Ayers, Esq. Highly recommended

I made the mistake of hiring this law firm to represent me against a very overzealous condo association…
Mr. Zinn appoints Mrs. Susan Ayres to represent me. At the very first meeting, I realized something was very wrong because Mrs. Ayres absolutely refused to hear key defensive strategy that would’ve given me great leverage in the case. On at least one more occasion, I mentioned the issue about the key defensive strategy being ignored and brought it to Mr. Zinn‘s attention.
Mr. Zinn proceeded to cover things up for Mrs. Ayres and then decided to drop my case for what amounted to be an invalid reason. I cannot sue these people to get my money back and they cleaned me out for at least 27 grand..
If you make the mistake of hiring these people, you will severely regret it. Mr. Zinn clearly lacks the key, highly sought after Personality traits in a lawyer, which are, honesty and integrity… exactly how these lawyers in Lee County think that they can get away with committing gross misconduct in connection with their Florida bar license is beyond me..
Most definitely not recommended

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Stephen Kegan and his team for the past 2.5 years on a personal injury claim, and I cannot recommend them enough. Stephen has been an incredible attorney—always helpful, quick to act on his end, and exceptionally patient with me throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain every step and addressed all of my concerns with clarity and professionalism, which made navigating this challenging time so much easier.
A special shoutout to Leslie Cooper, Stephen’s amazing paralegal, who was an absolute lifesaver when it came to helping me go through documents and keeping everything organized. Her attention to detail and kindness did not go unnoticed and added to the overall excellent experience.
If you’re looking for a legal team that’s knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly has your back, Stephen Kegan and his team are the way to go. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me! You guys are amazing !!!!

Mr. Maughan provided excellent service for my family. He was empathetic, assured and understanding. He provided us with a sense of security in an uncertain time. I felt completely confident putting our case in his hands and we received the outcome we were looking for. I would and have highly recommended him to others seeking an excellent lawyer.

I have been in business for 44 years and have dealt with many attorneys, started working with Jason about 15 years ago, he has worked on all of my business and personal matters across a wide range of issues. In every case he had an immediate grasp of the situation and quickly formulated game plans to attack. He has the rare combination of not only knowing the law inside and out but also being incredibly street smart. Over many cases we have always prevailed even when I thought we didn't have much of a chance. I have so much confidence in Jason that I made him the executor of my estate.

Couldn't thank the team at Absolute Law enough. Anthony Melchiorre explained my case and how he would proceed with it further. From consultation to the quick dismissal of the case, I felt I was in good hands and trusted his recommendations. If my family or friends needed an attorney, I would tell them to call Anthony.

I wouldn't give this man a 1 star if a zero star was an option.
We hired him months ago and he is useless! The people who are giving him 5 star reviews are probably friends and family.
He ripped us off! Did absolutely NOTHING for us! He is the laziest attorney ever! Do NOT hire this man!

Ms. Simons is never in the office. Always “on vacation”. Never returns paying clients calls blames staff for missed calls. I believe her cell phone is what is listed as her contact number, so I’m unsure how not returning messages on a cell phone provided on pens and business cards is the fault of staff. When you do get Ms. Simons on the phone, she is hostile and acts annoyed by questions regarding Association concerns. It’s also concerning, that the turnover of employees in this firm is high. There have been 3 attorneys our Association can count that have left within less than 6 months and 2 paralegals. Ms. Simons also seems to blame any error on whoever departed the firm last, instead of looking into the matter. The attorney rates are also misleading and never explained when questioned.

I got SA’s (statutory RA) and because it was 3 months past Florida statues of limitations amria fox and her office couldn’t prosecute the guy Billy Laing who was 27 at the time and I was 17. I came forward in 2022 and got told 9 months later by this exact office they’re sorry it happened to me and it’s clear with more than enough evidence but they wouldn’t put forward the warrant that detective Digiovani from CCPD wanted to issue.

I hired Ryan Dugan in 2015 for small claims against a construction contractor. Ryan NEVER returns calls purposely avoids the calls when I call then I immediately use another phone and he answers! I even had friends standing there and witnessed such action. I sent emails text messages NOTHING back no response. It is now going on 2 years and still no progress. I showed at his office twice only to get the run around and lies that he is waiting on the judges office. Surprise I call the office and they know of no such thing and have not received any request by my attorney. Matter fact they cannot speak to me it must go thru my attorney. This man not even attorney will not give an answer as to why such odd behavior and lack of communication and response. I even advised him of my intentions to file with the Florida bar and go as far as Washington and he gives no response and does not care. I would never recommend him to anyone and he should not be practicing law and harming individuals and the public.

I've tried a few business attorneys over the years. They're often too big, too expensive or too inattentive for my small business. Ryan Dugan is the only lawyer I would currently recommend. He's very knowledgeable and focused on my business needs. He's helped me make sound decisions on legal issues from real estate deals to contract review and saved me from making a sizable mistake on at least one recent real estate negotiation. I recommend you never make a real estate purchase, or sign a contract without your attorney and I highly recommend hiring Ryan Dugan.

When first met, he talked up my case(a boundry dispute). Constantly received billed time for calls and if you have a simple question look for him to drag it out for 30 minutes to an hour, and still not get a straight answer. At $275.00 a question, you soon find yourself not wanting to ask anything. My neighbor and I settled it with mediation. I did not want or need an attorney there but some how the attorney turned a 45 minute possible agreement into an 8 hour day...costing in access of $3000.00. I think he opened his mouth 3 or 4 times. He mostly sat there and seemed to be reviewing someone elses case. The mediator seemed more knowlegeable about boundry issues and law than the attorney. I would never recommend him. This is my opinion-you may want to do your own research. Try to keep from thowing money out the window

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.
