Mr. Quigley joined our legal team rather late in the preparation phase of our trial. He was hired to litigate the trial. He rapidly came up to speed on the intricacies of our case. His work ethics are impeccable and his knowledge of court procedure is outstanding. at first I was concerned about his potential lack of experience (he is a young man), but he decimated the older lawyers on the opposing side.

Marc is my contract expert . I utilize Marc before any contract is released. I used to utilize internet drafted documents until Marc showed me the deficiencies. I feel fortunate to have met Marc and I take great pride in any document that he puts together for me. Besides the professionalism offered, his ability to connect and understand my concerns makes it truly an unparalleled experience. I have referred him to family and friends with no reservations.

We have known Attorney Jeffrey Hurd for many years, and hired him to redo our Wills and POAs. Not surprisingly, we found him to be the consummate professional with a principled practice conforming to the highest standards. His easy demeanor accompanies deep concern for his clients needs. He guided us through the legal process while attending to our personal needs and beliefs. His attention to detail and ability to get the job done in a most timely manner were greatly appreciated.

I hired Jim during a very difficult divorce and custody battle. Jim was able to do everything I asked of him. I started out with only have a few hours a week with my son, and after hiring Jim that few hours turned into me having 365 overnights a year and 100% decision making. It was the best move I could have made. Jim is worth every penny, and he is willing to work with you. If you want a lawyer that will go to work for you and always have your best interest at heart Jim should be your first choice. He fought tooth and nail and everything paid off in the end. He will let you know straight forward and wont sugar coat it. He will look out for you and your family. I am truly thankful for everything Jim has done for my family. He is the best in town in my opinion. I cannot say enough good things about Jim and his law firm. Each and every one of them from Max at the front desk to Julie wants nothing but the best for you and your family. Jim is a very good lawyer and knows what he is doing. He is at ease and relaxed in the court room. When he is in court he is in his element and knows what has to be done to get the job done. I am in his debt for what he has done for my family.

My company & I have personally worked with Mr. McAnany for over 12 years. He was not only integral to the partnership and succession of my Company, but over the years has served to protect my companies interests with his knowledge and expertise in the construction industry in various areas, including contractual review, editing and drafting. Mr. McAnany was also pivotal in the resolution of a Mechanical Lien dispute with a vendor/subcontractor, and recently was successful in leading our Company in prevailing in a complaint against a former client for breach of contract and quantum meruit. Regardless of the circumstances for needing Mr. Mcanany's services, he always had our best interest at heart and I consider him and his firm to be an integral part of my business' success. I would recommend Christopher G McAnany without any hesitation to anyone!

I have had a legal issue related to mineral rights with gas/oil leases for 8 years. I was lucky enough to be referred to Mr. Kuzminski via another attorney in our community. It was very difficult to find someone who specialized in gas/oil and mineral rights and this referral was the best! Mr. Kuzminski is very knowledgeable about this topic and when he didn't know the answer he found another attorney in the area where the mineral rights were located to get the answers we needed. He is courteous, prompt, and his attention to detail was extraordinary. I am very grateful for his expert advise and his ability to negotiate with the gas/oil companies. He was able to secure me top dollar on my negotiating and CYA on the details. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of this type of legal council.

I highly recommend Davis Law Group, especially Trevor, for anyone in need of an estate lawyer. Their thoroughness in explaining every detail of my probate case was exceptional. Their communication throughout the process was top-notch, ensuring I was always informed and involved. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I successfully closed my case and feel like I "won". I am immensely grateful for their support and professionalism. Trevor took my case to heart, it seemed. Trevor fought immensely for me to buy my childhood home from the estate at a fair value and for that, I owe him a lot. I highly recommend Trevor and the team at Davis Law Group.

JR Davis and Trevor Rene need to be your go-to for any real estate disputes in the Grand Valley, CO and more specifically, the Grand Junction, CO area. They’re knowledgeable, they’re detail oriented, they communicate well and they’re very personable. I would recommend them whether you’re just needing some legal advice or need representation when it comes to anything needed pertaining to real estate - creating a trust, transferring a business entity and/or dealing with any residential real estate disputes. They take the time to break down complex issues so you can better understand them as needed and allow you to make the best informed decisions within the complex legal system that we have today. They’re brilliant!

So disappointed. I am president of an HOA. They filed a lien for us a few years back and I just found out the attorney filed it with the name misspelled. I have been calling and leaving messages for a month now as he is always "unavailable". He has not returned a single one of my calls. We won't be using them in the future due to lack of attention to detail and lack of interest in following up with their customers who paid them quite well.

Do not recommend Reams & Reams. Had a simple Will estate transfer and it’s cost me over $3000 for a few hours of work, if that. You are not able to send an email or ask a question without getting charged $25 for a simple letter, a 1 minute phone call, or a one sentence email in return. I am a mother of 2 that just inherited an estate and the estate didn’t have any funds. I feel like I’m being taken advantage of. Seems like the same charge is being put on bill repeatedly. Not happy. Every time I turn around I am getting a new bill. Be careful!

I cannot thank them enough for what they did for my family!

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.
