Nancy did not represent my best interests and was pretty bad in the courtroom in front of the judge. I did not feel as though she battled at all for me, and I lost everything.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Initial intake was unbelievably unprofessional with a level of disrespect and disservice unbecoming of any business, much less a professional law firm. Sherry raised her voice when I calmly expressed discomfort at a part of the initial intake Q&A and instead of providing reassurances or more information about why they request the information they request, she yelled at me (as a new potential client) and then ultimately hung up on me, rudely ending the initial consult. How maddening and exasperating to be treated like that. I will be filing a formal complaint as well. DO NOT BE DISRESPECTED BY THIS FIRM or it's unprofessional staff.

Let me just start off by saying for all the negative reviews left by people it’s far from the truth of what and who Varnum is.
I’ve been a client of Varnum now almost 5 years.
I have personally been in the office and spoke with the receptionist ladies, every time I feel welcomed like I am part of the family.
my children are adored and loved they get snacks and candy and drinks every time. They love going to Varnum when Daddy has to talk or see his Attorneys.
My lead attorney Jon M. Bylsma Managing Partner of the Firm, and Peter Smit who now is retired but still on my case.
These two attorneys at Varnum Law are the face of Varnum
Jon always answers my calls, texts, and emails, he protects me and my family. Best Attorney in America.
Anything I need he does it for my family, he is a true Lawyer who after being 30 plus years with the firm shows what Varnum is really all about and their values and what they stand for.
Varnum isn’t ripping clients off, that’s unethical, Varnum isn’t about doing unethical practices.
Varnum has been around since the late 1800s, Varnum is a very reputable Law Firm to trust with your legal needs.
They’re a community based law Firm in local charities, giving back to the Community in West Michigan.
Nothing in life is perfect, but I can personally tell you if you hired a law firm like Varnum Attorneys at law you will never regret it, you will become family, a repeat client.
I personally recommend hiring Varnum for all you legal issues, advice, and matters.
Thank you Varnum Family, Jon M. Bylsma and Peter Smit for everything you keep doing for me and my family.

If I could put zero I would, Tina with the smoker voice was so rude, threatening and unprofessional to say the least. At first she was very kind but as soon as I told her I didn’t have the $800 she requested she threatened me with foreclosure and then some. What type of people hire someone this ridiculous 😂 and then to top it off she hung up on me twice! She was so rude to me but as soon as I was rude back she had an issue with me. Apparently they do agreements over the phone too? I wasn’t told that I was agreeing to something over the phone. I’m not 11 ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚ save your money time and peace, instead of dealing with these people who don’t want to do a job but smoke a pack of cigs. She always so refused to put her boss on the phone which is crazy to me considering she’s the damn receptionist 😂

If I could put zero I would, Tina with the smoker voice was so rude, threatening and unprofessional to say the least. At first she was very kind but as soon as I told her I didn’t have the $800 she requested she threatened me with foreclosure and then some. What type of people hire someone this ridiculous 😂 and then to top it off she hung up on me twice! She was so rude to me but as soon as I was rude back she had an issue with me. Apparently they do agreements over the phone too? I wasn’t told that I was agreeing to something over the phone. I’m not 11 ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚ save your money time and peace, instead of dealing with these people who don’t want to do a job but smoke a pack of cigs. She always so refused to put her boss on the phone which is crazy to me considering she’s the damn receptionist 😂

Five is not enough stars IMO for Mr. Stanley. He was thorough from the second we walked into his offices. Making a scared family feel as though they are being taken care of by someone who cares about their situation is what made this process palatable. Is he busy, Yes. Do you sometimes feel as though he might not have a lot of time to talk to you, again yes. But he is not rude. He is just to the point and factual. I still trust this gentleman with just about anything because he is steadfast and unwavering. Not to mention an absolutely brilliant attorney. Thank you Frank.

Frank is one of the most kind people I have come in contact with. The fact that from the beginning of us meeting, he never made me feel judged. It was the total opposite. He is straight forward, and gave me the most uplifting words. You get what you pay for, and I would recommend him to anyone. He has the experience, the knowledge, very well known, and has the confidence. Thank you Frank!

In June, 2016, it will have been 3 years since my sister and I sat in Attorney Stanley's office to discuss my brother's case. At that time, we were filled with so much hope because we thought he would be able to help him. During this time span, we paid him thousands and thousands of dollars and he visited my brother in prison; traveled to the jurisdiction to review evidence held by police; filed a motion in the jurisdiction that was denied and he filed an appeal application that was denied. Based upon communication with his office, whether it be via phone or email, I poked, prodded and begged for status on his case, for anything positive and I feel the best we got from him were a bunch of lame excuses for the compound delays. I realize that he deals with a lot of criminals, ones that have money, and maybe they don't deserve the same respect that say a divorce lawyer would give his/her client. Or maybe my brother's case wasn't high profile enough for Attorney Stanley to put his "all" into. Due to the nature of my brother's crime, I feel getting justice for him would not make a positive addition to his "successful cases" outlined on his website. When we first met with him, he claimed to be a christian and with that proclamation common courtesy and respect of your client should be first and foremost. Screening and not taking my brother's calls (incoming from prison) defeated him. Does he take on too many cases? Does he work harder on the ones that have more merit and lets the not so great cases fall to the wayside? He has a right hand man/attorney in his office, "Tom", the guy who does all the research and puts the pleadings together. Tom is referred to a lot, but when Attorney Stanley's is out of the office they refuse to give you his last name and said "he doesn't talk with clients". Rebecca, his secretary, spoke condescending to me multiple times and would only give me, what I consider, lame excuses as opposed to status on the case. So I have to say, what good is Frank Stanley if he takes almost 3 years to achieve nothing? The answer to that question and to the whole experience is "NO GOOD".

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.
