I was in need of a lawyer for a property case I went online to find a lawyer and chad’s website stood out the most being more professional than others and more explanatory so I gave Chad a call I was able to connect right away with him. What I liked about this lawyer is he was on top of everything he moves quickly finding out all the details to your case and then filing any documents to get the ball rolling he is prepared for any curveballs thinking ahead of the game. I was able to get through to this lawyer anytime I had a question or concerns I was able to connect to him quickly by phone, text message or email and get a fast response. I highly recommend using this lawyer I will deathly use Chad in the future if needed. Thank you again for getting me to where I needed to be.

I have been professionally collaborating with Ms. Pruitt for over a decade, as a Licensed Professional Counselor, referring to her for when ever clients of mine are in need of legal support, either for family law directly, or when seeking a referral that would be a good fit from within her network of colleagues. My patients always reiterate positive feedback and outcomes, on her referrals as well. I appreciate her breadth of knowledge, direct approach, genuine care for her clients and availability for consult even when outside her area of expertise. I also appreciate her unbiassed treatment of clients whether being a husband, wife or partner. Very professional, efficient and effective and my number one resource for any legal matters facing my clients.

With the frustration of the time that it takes to get a decent attorney, I was lucky in finding Brian. He is very knowledgeable and has taken away all of my worries. He sincerely cares about what happens with the outcome of my 98 year old father, and has been diligent in every aspect. Although we have not been to the hearing yet, I have full faith in having hired Brian, and am sure there will be a positive outcome! To top it off, not like most attorneys, he charges a flat fee!

Let’s be honest it’s never fun when you have to hire an attorney. When I contacted Ben it was a no brained I made the right decision. He was extremely professional, diligent and thorough it also helped he has a background in Real Estate. He gathered all info required and made contact with the other party quickly, putting to bed the case in very short time.
Thanks Ben

I first consulted with Mr. Hogue in approximately 1995. He carefully articulated the distinctions between a support trust, and a discretionary trust as the terms are used in estate planning. We discussed, and he shared with me his publication entitled, “Biblical Principles of Estate Planning”.
I’ve practiced law myself for nearly 48 years, and in that time, I have never met a more capable and careful estate planning attorney then Mr. Rex Hogue.

Mark is the kind of counselor you want when you really need an honest answer, or to flat out win. I've hired him many times over the years and he's a no BS counselor worth every nickel of his time. He knows the courts, he knows the system, and if you're in a winner-takes-all battle, then this is the guy you want on your front lines. If you're researching Mark because your attorney is opposing him, then settle now... while you still walk.

I pulled in here by accident because maps made it look like it was the correct turn to get to Autozone literally a few feet away. Since the parking lot for this location was not connected to the lot for Autozone, I figured I'd park here for a couple of minutes to go recycle my old engine oil and be back and gone quick. No harm, right?
Coincidentally after a few seconds after parking, a truck shows up and the driver walks up with a "No Parking" sign and asks ME where he should put it, first on the spot right next to mine. Assuming he was the location owner, I immediately realized that I was disturbing him by parking there and asked if he'd like me to leave. He said it was fine that I parked there, and then again asked where he should put the sign, first the spot next to me, then where I was parked he then pointed out the sign he had facing the street that said no parking.
At this point, I knew he was kindly letting me know I wasn't welcome there, and got back in my car and drove off to take the long way to get to the building just a few feet away. I don't understand why me parking there was such a big deal anyway. What if I was going to enter the location? Now, if I'd parked my car there for an extended period of time, then I could see the issue. But for five minutes? Not the kind of people I would do any business with or suggest anyone go to.

During one of the worst times of my life it was a blessing to have a dedicated team of professionals working diligently behind me to take care of my case. They are always available for questions, concerns, and to put your mind at ease. They truly seemed concerned about my family and me and always worked in our best interest. This has been one of the best experiences that began as what I have coined one of the hardest times in our lives. 'Thank you' doesn't seem enough, but I truly am grateful for such a smooth process and for putting my family back together again.

Mullen & Mullen assisted my husband when he was injured in a motor vehicle collision on Main Street. They are absolutely wonderful Frisco personal injury lawyers. They assisted him in getting the medical attention he needed following the wreck. When it came time to negotiate with the insurance companies, they wouldn't take no for an answer. Our attorneys kept the heat on until they finally had to do the right thing. I feel like a lot of firms would have given up and recommended a lawsuit right away but Mullen & Mullen attorneys are super ethical and determined. They were eventually able to help my husband get almost the full available policy limits without the stress and time associated with a lawsuit. If you need a Frisco car accident attorney these are the injury lawyers you should call. Highly recommended!

Prior to hiring Mr. Freeman and his team, my husband and I did extensive research and interviewed several attorneys, hoping to find someone that could help our family solve our daunting and complex tax issue on a very short timeline. We selected Mr. Freeman because he stood out with his professionalism, expertise, and clear communication.
In this process, my husband and I talked directly with Mrs. Rodgers, Mr. Freeman, and Mr. Hendrix. They were all very professional, respectful, and kind. It was a pleasure working with them. They worked hard behind the scenes and took care of everything.
In the end, Freeman Law helped our family resolve our IRS problems, and took a great burden off of my family's shoulders. We were very happy with the timely result. I want to thank Mr. Freeman and his team for providing my family with peace of mind. Now we feel that we can live our lives without worry.
Without a doubt, we would hire them again. Thank you to everyone at Freeman Law

I became a client of this firm after my attorney Chris Konneker joined a few months ago. I was optimistic about following him from
His old firm, as he had been excellent up to that point and once we made the move, he proceeded to continue smashing it until the case was settled. He’s worth a hire, and even worth a follow to another firm. ONDA is a better company for having him on the roster. 2 years of correspondence with him and my only regret is that I didn’t get to meet him and shake his hand. But even that is a testament to the convenience and ease ONDA provides.

I was facing a very stressful legal situation regarding a high profile case. I wasn't sure where to turn. Then I found Marc May. From the very first consultation, Marc was thoughtful, intelligent, and clearly a rockstar. He took the time to explain everything clearly and answer all my questions in a way I could understand.
Throughout the entire process, Marc kept me informed and up-to-date on the progress of my case. He was always available to address any concerns I had, and his guidance proved invaluable.
Thanks to Marc’s expertise and diligence, I was able to resolve my legal situation…better than I could have ever hoped. I am incredibly grateful for his representation and highly recommend Marc May to anyone in need of a skilled and trustworthy lawyer.

I would give Marc and Macy both 100 stars if Google allowed.
After beginning to write my review here, something had called my attention away. When I came back just now to complete it, I saw that I'd mistakenly hit 1 star and it posted. Please be assured that was my error.
From the first time I met them, the COMPASSION, CARE, RESPONSIVENESS, and PROFESSIONALISM demonstrated by Marc, Macy, and their legal assistant far surpassed the norm- and still does today. They truly had (and have) my back. From my first appointment, I knew I'd be in good hands and I cancelled appointments I'd made to interview other attorneys because I hired them on the spot. What stood out to me when I first met them was INTEGRITY. As they were working so diligently on my behalf during one of the most difficult seasons of my life, I not only received stellar legal care, but also I unexpectedly received so much more-- fears were eased, wisdom was imparted, and a trusted family friendship has developed. I have referred them out multiple times and will continue and am truly grateful to have been under the care of this amazing legal team during that difficult season in my life.

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.

How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:

- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
