Caroline helped my husband and I at the last minute after our lawyer quit before court. She explained the law in detail and was very honest with us about everything all through the process. We were very happy with the outcome of our case. We would hire her again if needed in the future.

Ms. Penninck appeared in court with me today. She was both professional and well prepared. The outcome was in my favor due mostly to her work in preparing for court. I went to court feeling very confident and was not disappointed. It was the best court experience I have had. I am thankful I had her on my team.

Late 2015 I hired Mr. Robinson as my business attorney. Attorneys are not favorite but Tim seems to care more about "helping" people than the money they pay, which is very rare this day and age. Doing the right thing has its rewards. That is why Tim Robinson is going to continue to be successful.

Tim is an amazing atttorney. We hired him to help a friend who had been coerced into pleading guilty out of fear and lack of understanding, to an felony offense that he didn't commit. Tim was passionate, determined, committed. He planned for every possible outcome with thoroughness, never leaving anything to chance. Consequently he preempted every move made by the prosecution. He was approachable and supportive throughout without over-promising at any stage. He also gave us a clear understanding of the costs we would incur up front and in fact because we eventually did not have to go to trial, we did not end up paying the full amount. He never nickel and dimed us with hourly charges or administrative fees. It was a simple payment structure that was easily understood and we felt incredibly fair for the amount of effort he put into the case. I cannot speak highly enough of him and have no hesitations in recommending him. Thank you for so effectively defending our friend and setting him free.

Lauren Powell is my current lawyer helping me with a very messy and high conflict divorce case that involves child custody. She was recommended by a friend of mine. Lauren has handled my case for about a year now. I’m so glad she took my case when my previous lawyer closed her practice. Lauren is very thorough in her preparation for the Hearings. Her office staff and her are very quick in communications. She understood my situation ( long term abusive relationship) and has always showed confidence in me and trusted me. That is huge for someone like me who came from decades long abuse. My case sat for over a year with no movement. Lauren has made strides in the year I’ve worked with her. Wish I had found her sooner Lauren is a powerful force in Court. She’s to the point and asks the right questions of the opposing side and their people. She is supported by a great team.

By far one of the best attorneys I've ever had, I'm honestly very blessed and grateful to have had him. If I could give him more then 5 stars I definitely would give him all of them. When I first told him about my case, he took it right away and went straight to work on it. He's answered EVERY phone call, email and text I've sent him right away no matter what time it was, he doesn't disappoint at all. I just want to say THANK YOU so much for everything you've done for me and my family especially helping us stay together. You truly are an AMAZING lawyer.

I have worked with several attorneys in the Dallas area for my ongoing legal issues. The second I met Suma, I knew my search for the perfect attorney was over. Suma made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. She intently listened to me, and she never rushed me. Her response time when I ask her questions is superb. I honestly cannot imagine myself using another attorney, ever again. Thank you, Suma, for all that you do!

I had a profoundly negative experience with this law firm - Michael Sturgill. They made empty promises and failed to deliver on their commitments. After retaining their services, I experienced a complete lack of progress on my case for an entire month. Instead of focusing on my legal matter, the firm pressured me to agree to a continuance that would significantly impact my life and the well-being of my children. It became evident that their primary concern was financial gain rather than client satisfaction. I strongly advise potential clients to exercise caution and consider seeking legal representation from a more reputable firm. They also refuse to return my retainer money that I need to hire another attorney to help my three Baby Girls.

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.
