I am so grateful for Kelli. I was very naïve/green when I joined a business partnership which of course ended badly. Kelli took a messy business situation and completely took control. I was very impressed that she always returned all calls or emails on the same day. She explained every step and never made me feel foolish for my previous business errors. My only regret was NOT having her from the very first day I entered into the partnership. I will ONLY use her in all of my future businesses.

I have consulted McGill Law several times over the past years. My consultations always helped manage my expectations and provide me with the information I needed to make the best decisions I could. Quite often, I realized that I had a misunderstanding of the law based on my own research which ultimately led me to accept that my legal considerations should be handled by a licensed and experienced attorney. Moving forward, I will be consulting McGill law prior to making certain life decisions in an effort to best protect myself.

Jim was referred to me by a friend during a very difficult time in my life. Over the next 3 months, Jim was always just a phone call away, either answered me right away or called me back within 5 minutes. During the process, he helped me understand the laws, provided sound advice on all of my issues. Most importantly, he got shi7 done in a timely fashion and got it done correctly. He's not one of those lawyers interested in stringing you along, creating drama, or digging his heels in on immaterial items just to rack up legal fees - quite the contrary he always looked out for my best interest in the most rational way. But, when needed he brought out the big guns and fought for me and my rights. In addition, throughout it all he kept his humor (keeping me sane) and was very empathetic to my situation. I will use Jim going forward and would recommend him no questions asked to any of my friends who need a lawyer to look out for them. Thank you Jim!

I would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him.

I was on the receiving end of a car wreck back in 2019. Two days later I could hardly walk. I knew I was in trouble physically so I reported my work. At that point it was a worker comp situating. After several doctors appointments and physical therapy sessions I decided to do some homework for an attorney. Jim was recommended to me by my employer’s attorney. I trust my employer to send me to the best attorney. They did. I reached out to Jim and he took my case. He told me on the front end that this case would be difficult due to the reputation of this particular insurance company. He is great at communicating and keeping me in the loop. He’s not afraid to fight in court if it would have come to that. It didn’t because Jim had gathered enough ammunition that they knew they had to settle. I highly recommend Jim. He’s a great person, attorney and friend.

I reached out to Thomas on a potential case. He returned my call within 1 day and took the time to listen and understand the case.
Although we are in different states and he could not represent me, he took the time to do his research and email me back his findings and possible referral. I was so impressed that he was very detailed and compassionate to my situation and tried to help me as much as he could. Very Appreciative!!!

I had the pleasure of speaking to Thomas twice now. I have been looking to partner up with a solid direct sales company and had some questions that were more legal based in nature. I heard about the law firm that Thomas works for in doing my research and figured I would reach out and see if I could get some good guidance. Both times I spoke to Thomas, I was able to get exactly what I needed answered. He is a great guy that is very informative and thorough in his guidance. He took the time to answer all my questions without me feeling rushed. It's a great feeling to have when you know you can call him and he will give you the correct information and knowledge for you to make the right decisions in your life. I would highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for direction and guidance.

I would like to thank Mr. Ritter for his professionalism. He was very helpful and through in his research to my situation. I was quite impressed as to how much research he put into my situation. I thought since it was a free consultation that I would get a general response however I received just the opposite. His explanation of the law was crystal clear and precise. The value of the information was worthy of compensation however the information was free.

Jeff provided complete estate planning for me, including Last Will and Testament, Durable Power of Attorney for Management of Property and Personal Affairs, Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and a Living Will. Through each step of the process, he was careful to respect my wishes and ensure that I understood each form. Although we had talked through each form several times, at the final meeting when the documents were signed and witnessed, he once again took the time to go over each form and validated that I was comfortable and understood the legal vernacular. I am very appreciative of the excellent service and attention that I received from Jeff and strongly recommend him to other perspective clients. I completed the process feeling very confident that I had done all I could do to make ensure an orderly transition to my heirs when the time comes.

Nick is an incredible lawyer.

As a Realtor for the last ten years, I know how difficult it is to make genuine business relationships. I expect the same high standards of my service providers as I expect from myself and Nick exceeds those standards. In addition to doing most of my closings since we met a few years ago, he has also provided non-real estate services for my family.

I've had an embarrassing number of times dealing with attorneys. Geoffrey was a breath of fresh air. He had integrity unlike the other attorney's I've encountered. He was profession, honest, compassionate, and understanding concerning my divorce, as well as the results were better for me than I had expected. I would highly recommend Geoffrey to represent anyone needing quality legal counsel.

I called many lawyers and left many messages in regards to a workers comp. for my elderly mom and none of them had bothered to call me back over a week. I then called Mr. Coston's office and spoke with a very nice lady by the name of Lisa who then put me directly thru to Mr. Coston who introduced himself just as Geoff and not Mr. Coston. He seemed really "down to earth" and did not come off as an arogant attorney like others I have dealt with.
I explained my situation to Geoff and he listened carefully and told me he would give me free advice to possibly avoid having to even get an attorney. He then took the time to explain everything and answered all my questions. He took time and never rushed me. He gave a lot of free advice. I have never had an attorney do that. And he had a great since of humor too.
If I can't get my situation resolved in the next few days on my own then I will definitely be calling Mr. Geoff Coston. He is very personable, polite, smart and tries to save you time and money right from the start.

I’m truly thankful for Phil Newman, Andrea McCoy, Lauren Moss and their entire team for the guidance and support throughout this process. Phil and Andrea are extremely knowledgeable, experienced and professional. Their accessibility and insight were calming during what can be an overwhelming experience at times. They were consistently responsive and understanding – listening to my concerns and making sure I felt comfortable both legally and personally. Phil’s approachability and diligence gave me assurance I’d be on solid ground moving forward. He truly cared about what was important to me through, and post-divorce. I sincerely appreciated Lauren’s expertise and availability for mediation. She stepped in with Phil and delivered on a challenging day. They have an amazing staff with Julie, Alisha and Rachel – help making this difficult situation as easy to navigate as possible.
I’d highly recommend a conversation – great firm with better people who truly care.

As a writer and resident of the Ryman Artist Lofts I am privy to some of the best legal service in the city. I was so excited to meet with Franklin last Tuesday after we spoke on the phone at length about my legal needs. He is kind, attentive and truly passionate about what he does. He also knows his stuff and is interested in applying legal practice to all artistic disciplines. He took my questions, no matter how trivial, seriously and always made me feel as though he was in my corner. Not only did he take the time to draw up a contract I had needed for months yet he also listened to a smaller issue in concerns to copyright infringement with my latest book project. His advice helped remedy the problem quickly and drama-free. It is people like Franklin who have made my time in Nashville not only magical but purposeful as well.

Tom Boylan did an amazing job dealing with Evernest our rental agency for a home in Franklin. They simply bullied renters into having no reasonable recourse but to either accept their approach or seek an Attorney. We did the latter. We ended up paying Tom around $2K for what was services over a few months dealing with them. In total, we'd have lost about $8K had we not had him on our side. It was well worth it, and also really wonderful to not allow this rental agency to simply do whatever they want without regard to meeting their obligations. Tom was accessible, responsive, and spot on with his advice. Will use him again in the event we are unfortunate enough to need an Attorney in the future!

I had the pleasure of working with Diane Crozier recently during one of the most difficult times in my life. From our first conversation, I knew I was in great hands. Diane is extremely knowledgeable and really knows her stuff when it comes to family law. But what really stood out was how kind and understanding she was during such a tough time.
She paid attention to every detail and was always on top of things. Diane made sure I knew what was going on and felt comfortable with every step. Her advice was spot-on and helped me get a better outcome than I expected.
Her empathy made a difficult situation a lot easier to handle, and I always felt like I mattered.
If you need a divorce attorney, I highly recommend Diane Crozier.

MC is highly professional and easy to work with. She has helped me a couple times. During my divorce and a custody issue she always had my kids best interest in mind and helped me to negotiate agreements that were sustainable and easy to maintain.
She has always returned emails and calls in a timely manner and her communication when things get delayed or we are waiting for something, has been great.
She made the whole process so much easier than I expected from the stories I hear from others.
I very highly recommend her.

The #1 attorney at law. Diane is the most helpful lawyer in Nashville. My wife and I spent months looking for a lawyer to help us with an adoption process and kept getting ignored. Not only did Diane help us, she went above and beyond. She did all of heavy lifting by communicating with out of state agencies to get all of the paper work in order. She takes her job seriously and truly cares about her clients. If you find yourself needing a family law expert, we were able to rest easy knowing Diane was on our side.

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.
