I have to give a huge, gratitude-filled shoutout to Christopher Hooks at RBSR for serving my business and family during a difficult situation for all of us. He handled our case with confidence and professionalism, ultimately resolving the issue. We are grateful for the work he did and the level of support he provided us as we navigated unknown territory. I'd also like to give a shout out to Sarah Walton with RBSR, who answered countless billing/documentation questions that put my mind at ease, knowing exactly where we stood and updated on our case. I can't recommend this team enough! Thank you for your service:)

FATHERS BEWARE Called looking for a family lawyer she didn’t care much about what I had to say with the situation of my children unless I had “3500” for just a “retainer” today without asking the age or gender or possible condition of the kids to show any amount of interest which should be a huge red flag if your looking for a family attorney. She’s probably a very great impactful divorce lawyer. Just based off the retainers fees she’s probably will leave you dry after legal fees good luck

I cannot recommend Aundrea highly enough! She handled our child custody case with the utmost professionalism. From the start, she communicated effectively and kept us informed on every detail. In the courtroom, she was an absolute beast, fiercely advocating for the best interest of our child. Her dedication and expertise made a challenging situation much more manageable. If you need a stellar attorney, look no further than Aundrea Stone Hanna!

I have consulted with Ms. Wyninger over the years on various family law issues. She is very knowledgeable, and I highly recommend her. She gave us a peace of mind every time that assured us everything was going to be ok.

I have known Mrs. Wyninger for many years. When she worked for our agency, she was thorough, professional, and met the needs of the families. I would highly recommend her to be your attorney. You won't be disappointed.

Ms. Wyninger was able to get visitation that had been denied. Charges for domestic issues resolved. She is honest and does what she says she will do. Extremely important to us was the follow through and ability to reach Ms. Wyninger.

Mr. Joe Byars, he is truly one of a kind. I was being wrongfully sued for allot of money in small claims court for the simple fact that I didn't give a 10 day notice. Being that it was in small claims court, nobody was even hearing me out. The ones that would hear me out wanted tons of money up front and I just didn't have anything to give. I called a lawyer whose name I don't even remember, he told me he didn't practice that part of the law, and he referred me to Joe byars. I was immediately impressed that another lawyer would refer another lawyer. Joe Byars, was the first lawyer, who I felt like actually cared. He heard me out and he knew I didn't have any money for a lawyer, but he took my case anyway. Then, he did one better, he told me he was going to charge me $0.00 for his retaining fee. Meaning, he took my case to help me out for free. You don't meet people that do that anymore. It's absolutely refreshing. Once he took my case, he kept me updated on what was going on and then my case eventually was dismissed. Thank you so much, Mr. Byars. I am sincerely grateful for everything you've done. I highly recommend him, if you are looking for a lawyer who actually cares, who you can trust to get things done, and who actually keeps you in the loop of what's going on, Joe Byars is your lawyer. I will continue to go to him for any legal advice, and I will refer him to anybody and everyone! Call him, like I said he's one of a kind! He's truly on your side.

Standing ovation for Mr. Frank Cardoza! I was appointed to be the executor of my uncle’s estate. Due to family dynamics, this was a disaster waiting to happen from day one. Frank confidently stepped up and helped my uncle form a Trust and made all of our my lives so much easier after he passed away. Everything was very specific. I will be eternally grateful to Mr. Cardoza for his expertise and helpfulness.

Mike Daily has been extremely instrumental in helping us get our estate planning taken care of. Mike was always very responsive to our reaching out to him, knowledgeable with every question we had, patient in allowing us to explain what our wishes were and compassionate in what we were asking for. We would highly recommend C. Michael Daily for any type of legal assistant a person could ask for. We have a great appreciation for Mike and cannot say enough good things about the person he is, as well as the service and care he provides.

If you’re looking to spend a lot of money for minimal results, this is the place to go. - Lack of confidence in law: Poorly represented in key moments. - Lack of consistency: Promises made were not delivered. - Lack of accountability: No ownership of mistakes or missteps. - Lack of professionalism: Prioritized convenience over advocacy. - Excessive charges: Even basic updates were billed, despite being owed updates. - Unreachable in urgent situations: Critical moments lacked support. Kevin Hickey himself was representing me, I expected a strong advocate, but he focused on what was quickest and easiest for him. I was told one thing would happen, only to face an entirely different reality in court. For $8,000, I’ve never felt more misrepresented. I can’t help but wonder if Kevin truly believes this was his best effort.

Dianna Ladd is the best attorney I could have prayed for. I was in a car crash and broke my back. I am unable to work and needed go on disability. I went to the social security office and letter after letter I was basically told I would have to wait a year to collect on my social security. I went to her after three months and she was able to get me payments and back pay within two months. I would have had to gone bankrupt if it weren't for her. She answered every call and treated me with me like she really cared. I would recommend her to anyone needing to get on social security. She was awesome and I love her like a daughter, not because of my case but because she is genuine.

If you want to waste money, and get a lawyer that isn't worth a wooden nickel, then look no further. In my current case, Mr. Wann failed to show up for my conditions of bond hearing, failed to get my charges amended after the crime lab report came back, caused me to fail to appear, and wouldn't get the warrant lifted, yet was able to file a motion to withdraw. Hes as worthless as the day is long. I'm reporting him to the bar and more.

We hired Jeremy to do a Power of Attorney and to look at a trust account for us. My mother is elderly, and he was so very patient and kind in his dealings with her (and me). We will definitely turn to Mr. Wann again for any of our legal needs. I would highly recommend him as your attorney.

We contacted Jeremy to do our will and power of attorneys. I was very worried and stressed about the whole process of making all of the decisions for our will.

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.
