I lost my husband and best friend when he was killed by a drunk truck driver who had a history of driving related offenses and was over-served alcohol at a restaurant. Bob Coleman, Cale Rogers and their team of paralegals took on seven to ten insurance company lawyers and won. Nothing will bring my husband back to me, but this team of professionals were with me every step of the way. I have known them for years and they are aggressive and attentive but compassionate. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who has a family member or a friend who has been injured or killed in an accident. A. T.

In the fall of 2010 we met with Cale regarding the sell of 50% stock in two corporations. We had previously met with two other attorneys whom we had worked with in the past, however chose Cale to represent us after our first meeting. He demonstrated a strong knowledge of the specifics of our situation, including state laws and statutes, and tax liabilities. Cale maintained excellent communication with us and the buyer's attorney's throughout the entire process. My wife and I know that Cale's strong and aggressive approach insured the quick and efficient closure we needed. Following this experience, we now consider Cale Rogers "OUR" attorney.

Mr Buckler was appointed to be my attorney in an aggravated assault case. He worked very hard and took my case all the way through a jury trial. He went over the top to get this charge dismissed and was very thorough in presenting my case to the jury. He is a very polite attorney and does what he says he's going to do. If you're in need of a good attorney hire Harold Buckler.

I hired Emory to be my attorney in 2018. Throughout the entire legal process Emory was attentive, professional, and hardworking. Emory had an uphill battle against the prosecutor, but he really does his homework and really shines in the courtroom. I really appreciate all that he did. He still contacts me regularly to make sure I am well still into late 2020.

We would not only recommend his services, but are very grateful to him as well.

I can’t say enough good things about Ms. Williams and her amazing team of women. I had a scary ex who had walked all over me in the state we lived before and my previous lawyers did not have my back and had written up horrible orders that gave my ex the ability to mess with my daughters life to try and hurt me. Ms. Williams nipped that right in the butt and got us new orders written up that protected me and my daughter. On top of that she was able to finally put him in his place and get us tie breaker. Something we have never been able to have in my daughter’s entire life. My previous lawyer I had to baby sit and I had to fight for my daughter in court while this lawyer stood by and watched my cry. my experience with Ms. Williams was the complete opposite. She had my back the entire time and I am eternally grateful and will contact her if we ever need her again.

Candace is the best of the best! When she took on my case, her and her team spent countless hours and late nights on my case. It was a mess. She cleaned it up and won our case in court. She is so professional but is also a bulldog. She won’t stop until she gets what the client wants. She is amazing! You won’t regret hiring her!

Graham McKinnon has represented me for almost a decade through the most difficult time of my life. From keeping me out of prison during my sentencing to finally, as I type this today, using his deep connections in the Hall county courts to get me off of probation and my full record expunged. I trusted Graham with my future and it's the best thing I ever did, I have an entirely new lease on life now thanks to him. It was almost a pleasure to go through everything I have just to have had Graham brilliantly guide me through it, I highly recommend him.

I consulted with Mr. Kelley to review my options to erase a large debt that was not my fault. His website clearly states he can help resolve debt settlements. Instead he spoke directly of our option to be bankruptcy. I asked about helping me try to resolve the debt or get it resolved without bankruptcy and he said I did not need him for that. My husband said he was just “matter of fact”. I disagree. I found him condescending and he minimized my feelings about my situation.

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.
