Austin worked with me through my divorce which initially started in late 2022. At some point through the process I tried to work things out which ended up in a second filing. Not only was he polite and understanding he ensured I walked away happy. I highly recommend Austin to anyone especially if it appears to be a complicated situation. He will not only get the job done well...he'll do it with flying colors. Thank you very much for your services!

Austin was a referral from a friend of mine and I am extremely grateful for hiring him when I did. I was apprehensive of hiring another lawyer after having had a terrible experience with a different attorney who was a disorganized mess. Austin is extremely professional, well versed with family law, puntual and most importantly, organized. If you are in the market for an attorney I would highly recommend Austin, he takes a great deal a pressure off your shoulders and you genuinely feel like you’re in good hands.

James Kuzmich helped us through the sale of our intellectual property and other details and shepherded us through a difficult negotiation and transition. He is prompt, efficient, easy to work with, reasonably priced, and very fair to both parties in everything he does. His assistant Austin was very helpful as well. I feel very fortunate to have been referred to Jim to help us with a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Jim took a personal interest in my legal issues and other colleagues have said the same. Jim has never overcharged and most importantly gets work done well and quickly. I've had too many bad experiences with other attorneys who don't respond or take months to finalize agreements. Fantastic business attorney for me.

He has enabled me to feel confident as I start my new business venture and I will continue to utilize Jim’s services and expertise for years to come.

My business partner and I were fortunate enough to be introduced to Mr. Kuzmich just a couple of years ago and he has been our go-to guy for our own legal questions as well as for our clients ever since. He has a broad knowledge of all law, but is exceptional at contracts. My biggest pet peeve as a small business owner is when people don't respond to call, e-mails, etc. and Jim is always exceptionally responsive even in evenings and weekends and on those few occasions that he will not be available, he will let us know in advance. I highly, highly recommend Jim as a trusted resource.

We are a small import/export company. As such we have need for legal documents to be drawn up, reseller agreements, contract reviews, NDA's, website terms, etc. Trying to find good legal representation can very challenging and expensive and hurt your wallet. We finally settled on Morrissey Law whom we've been with now for nearly 10 years. They have proven to be insightful, knowledgeable, professional, experienced, very competitively priced and painless. If unable to find an answer (for cases outside their specialty) they have advised of alternate solutions. We have also trusted them for our personal legal needs as well, rental property contracts, lease termination agreements, real estate, setting up trusts, etc. What sets the company aside is not only the personal attention they take but they don't nickel dime you should you have any quick questions, emails, phones calls etc. They take the time to try and fully understand your needs and objectives offering suggestions and advise built from years of experience and knowledge. Jeana does most of the work and has been our go-to person all these years. We very much appreciate her and the business she has built. If you own a small business, have real estate needs, general legal advice, we give our highest recommendation to Morrissey Law.

Rex is an excellent lawyer with a great deal of experience with cases surrounding wrongful termination. I came into his office feeling confused and left with confidence after he educated me about my situation from a legal perspective. He was very patient with me and ensured I understood my options before making any decision each step of the way. If I had any questions or reservations, he made time to speak and was very responsive. I am grateful to have worked with Rex and highly recommend him!

I spoke to Rex on the phone and explained my situation. He said he thought I had a case and set an appointment to meet with him. He explained all of my options in detail. I decided which one was best for me. I decided to hire him and he took the case on contingency. He ended up negotiating a good settlement. Rex kept my informed through the whole process. I highly recommend Rex for wrongful termination.

Jake Carlson and his team at Lifeplan Legal are exceptional. They were able to take us from the initial consult all the way through the hiring process and completed an estate plan that my wife and I are extremely happy with. Jake is a true professional. He was always available to answer and review questions, simplify many legal terms and procedures and help us understand the differences between various powers of attorney. My wife and I were very impressed with his depth of knowledge and his genuine care and concern for his clients. The concept of create an estate plan based on values is also another clever and meaningful approach that really resonated with us. Jake and his team at LifePlan Legal aside from being highly professional and approachable, are also friendly and thorough. We believe that we acquired a wonderful value and give Jake and his team the highest recommendation to anyone looking for a meaningful approach to estate planning. We have great peace of mind knowing that we have secured our assists and our future through using Jake and his team. Thank you again! Still Very Satisfied, Joseph and Jordan Lawless

He is doing a great job trying to get this case closed ASAP at the lowest cost to me. He is very trustworthy and I know I am in very good hands!!! He is a great guy and I know I have hired the BEST lawyer.

Mr. Fong assisted me with a recent business separation. I was impressed with his ability to simplify a (for me) very complex situation and find a solution that would make me happy. In our initial consultation he was able to clarify options I had not thought of and we made a plan to get me where I wanted to be. He followed up and delivered. He was very helpful in his guidance and professional in his approach while being genuinely caring. I highly recommend him and will surely use his services again in the future.

Excellent legal services! Mr. Harrison was very professional and meticulous in his representation. He listened carefully to what we wanted. He gave us a few options, them moved quickly through the case. The only delay we experienced was due to waiting for opposing counsel to respond, but Mr. Harrison always followed-up timely until a response was received. Mr. Harrison was able to settle our case to our satisfaction, something a previous attorney was not able to do. Mr. Harrison also has a wonderful support staff, including his paralegal, Brandie, who kept us up-to-date throughout the process until the final settlement was reached. We received the closeout letter and statement in a timely manner, and received a refund for the balance of our retainer funds. We want to express our sincere appreciation to Mr. Harrison and his staff for a job well done!

NEW CUSTOMER FOR LIFE! Scott treated me like FAMILY. Completely satisfied by my interactions with him. He was the third attorney I talked to about a land division I’m doing. He was the only one that took his time, even looked up information online. He said that he could do the work for me or he would teach me how to do it myself. Went through all the details and didn’t charge me anything. The call was 20 mins and an additional call as well. He is now the only one I will call for anything dealing with property law. Thank you Scott

I would advise against ever using her for any legal situation. I was arrested for something I was innocent of. I was assigned Kari Jill Granville as a pro bono attorney. I was incarcerated for 5 months, she would never take my phone calls, she never even got me a police report the time I was in jail, did not even discuss a trial at any time, and simply said if I was to take my case to trial I would lose, and even if I won I would be page two's for carrying a pocket knife I was carrying,come to find out that it is completely legal for me to carry it. When she did do her 2 video visits she lit one cigarette after the other. You're pretty old Keri, slow down on you're smoking!! She kept telling me to sign for 5 years, had my family convinced that was a deal of a lifetime in the email' s she sent them. Thank God I was able to hire a good attorney. I went to court with my new attorney & my new attorney had me out in 3 days. I read your response to the only other review you had, which they said they had the worst experience of their life with you. You responded with saying people can ask you to do something unethical. I asked you for nothing more than legal representation, which you could not provide in the least, how can you respond to this. I mean don't get mad,I'm only keeping it real.

I had the worst legal experience of my life with this woman. This woman did not represent my interest in fact quite the opposite. I have tried to contact her since the ramifications of her lack of representation on me and she ignores all of my phone calls. I’ve asked to see documents and reports and I’ve been denied everything. This woman is someone I would bar run far far away from. This comes from someone who served a legislative internship by scholarship and has a background in law. She is grossly negligent and doesn’t give a damn about people. She made that clear.

Even though she was assigned as a public defender, at no time did I feel that I was treated differently than if I was a full paying client. I never had to ask her to do anything specific or in a certain way because she was already doing everything the way I wanted. Throughout the whole case, her personality helped make things less stressful. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needed an attorney.

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.
