I hired Nick for a custody case when the mother of my child moved out of state and tried to register a foreign order. I needed someone really good so I called a very renowned and retired lawyer in the area (since I’m out of state) and asked who the best lawyer for family / custody issues. He said Nick, no question. He’s experienced, hungry, and honest. I have now had Nick representing me off and on for the past 5 years and because my situation happens to involve parental alienation and complicated matters, we continue to litigate and there’s no one I’d rather have on my side. In this course of time my child’s mother has hired 4 different attorneys as none of them have faired well against Nick (it also doesn’t help she has always been on the wrong side of the law). If you hire Nick he will listen, thoroughly research the facts and precedent, and give you your best chance at relief in your case. There is nothing like the piece of mind having great and honest representation. I’ve seen so many lawyers argue a case that they weren’t prepared on, had wrongs facts, can’t remember the characters names, and just fail to make their case and aren’t taken seriously. Trust me, call Nick.

I hired Nick Hursh to represent me in a Family Law case that was out of the realm of norm. No child should have to go through a court experience siting on the opposite side a parent instead of having them on your side; as a supportive parent should be. Since my situation crossed normal lines; I chose Nick based on his schooling/professional experience and online reviews. My hopes he would match for my needs but quickly those "hopes" have been proven as fact. He drafts his own court paperwork and is extremely detail oriented. He handled the timing of my payments for his fees, in a compassionate understanding way considering that I am a Single Mother and we are all currently in the CONVID-19 Pandemic.

Nick was really good in fighting for me and the R.O. made on me by my bfs EX. My bf is going through a nasty divorce and of course she's doing the typical "reaching" as I like to call it. Being that all of allegations made on me were so far fetched and outlandish, I had PROOF against all the allegations made, which we did NOT even have to present any of this proof. Basically saying she had no legit reason for request, and Nick was able to show there was no basis for any of her claims, which were 100% falsified. He knows his stuff, he goes in ready to fight for you, and wins. He will remind you to stay calm and keep your poker face straight, which I really respected and loved his tactic. Hopefully I will not have to use any attorney ever, but if I was in need he will be my go to. I highly recommend him.

David is an amazing lawyer! We hired David in May, told him we wanted my husband to adopt my daughter, and we needed a passport by December. By November we had our passport and the adoption was final! We had to jump through many hoops and he still made sure we got what we needed on time. He kept us updateded throughout the whole journey and made sure we knew and understood everything he said or was doing! I highly recommend David!

DuPont Hospital sued me regarding the bill of delivering of my son. I had proof that it was settled and yet they pushed forward with a trial to prove I was guilty of nonpayment. I asked David to represent me against this enormous company. He quickly reviewed my file and assured me we had a case. During and before the trial he worked hard to ease my fears and nerves. We won!!! He did a wonderful job and I cannot thank him enough!

I can't say enough good things about Zachary and his staff at the office. I came into his office in quite a panic and he heard me talking with his secretary. He immediately came out to greet me and listened attentively to what was going on. I could tell that Zach and his team truly cared about my situation and were ready and eager to help. Zach jumped into action immediately pausing the tasks he was currently working on. He worked diligently and helped resolve the issue the within hours. From the moment I stepped in his office, Zach and his team made me feel at ease. Zachary is an incredible attorney who will handle your situation with care. I am truly grateful for everything Locke and Witte did for me that day.

Unfortunately, I believe Mr. Meyer is now working in the business world, continuing to work with his expansive and still expanding knowledge of construction and business issues. Mr. Meyer was always able to understand my issues and work toward identifying cost effective and swift resolution to my problems. Mr. Meyer will fight the battle if that is the right thing to do, but if business concerns require an alternative approach, he is a superb negotiator. If he was ever to return to private practice, I would strongly recommend you look him up.

Ryan is one in a million! I hired him based on his awesome reviews. I’m so thankful for the decision I made on having Ryan represent me. With COVID my case had been delayed for a year. He really seemed like he cared about me and my future. I never had to wait long for him to return my calls or text. So a year had passed and charges were pressed on me. In a panic I called Ryan on a Friday night and he got right back to me even though he was out to dinner with his family. I honestly didn’t expect to hear from him until Monday. Keep in mind I paid him over a year ago. My whole job, life and kids were on the line! Ryan literally saved me! He went above and beyond and my outcome was better than I anticipated! I will always be grateful for what Ryan has done for me! I have my life back and my future is looking good for my family and I. I wanted to write this review in the hopes to help someone else and to thank Ryan for all he has done for me!
Thank you Ryan!!!

I’ve never felt more like someone was on my side than I have with Carson. Michelle Brown Stohler, Michelle Santiago, and Jeremy Senk have lived and breathed my case for 6 months now, and I know they’ll fight for me for as long as it takes. I never expected the level of care I’ve received from this firm, and I’m eternally grateful for how hard they fight for me every day during such a hard time in my life.

I had a great experience using Mr. Jarjour as my divorce attorney. I had filled out my name and number online to have him call me regarding my situation and within a couple hours he reached out to me and already had information pulled up from my case that he looked up. I was very impressed from the start. Sam is very thorough and straightforward but also very personable. He seemed to always put my best interest first while trying to get the case settled as soon as possible to reduce costs etc.

Sam and Tessa were amazing to work with. They replied quickly and eased my anxiety. When it came the day of mediation, Sam did an amazing job representing me.
Financially, his rate is less expensive than others.
We were referred from another attorney to call Sam up. I do not regret my decision at all.
Thank you Sam & Tessa for everything.

I have never had a better experience with an attorney than I did with Randy Hammond. None of us enjoy it when we go through a divorce and need to hire an attorney, but Randy could not have been any better. Three things that are extremely important in an attorney is that they are knowledgeable, responsive, and professional and Randy is all 3 perfectly. He is also the perfect balance of calm when he needs to be but intense if he has to be. Also, I never ever felt like I was being billed for something that was not accurate which also gave me great peace of mind. He actually is very respectful of the money you are spending. Would HIGHLY recommend Randy to anyone needing an attorney.....and tell him Dave sent you:)......Oh and last but certainly not least, his assistant Emilie is great also.

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.
