I had the opportunity to speak to Atty. Krumrie just recently with regards to a small claims action, and he was fantastic. At our first consult, he took the time to explain the process, gather information, and make some recommendations for me. I never felt rushed; rather I felt as if I hired him he would be a great partner to me. Although I am taking a "watch and see" on the collection per Atty. Krumrie's advice, I know who I will be reaching out to when I am ready to proceed.

I needed help preparing a joint tenancy legal agreement and was recommended to contact Ryan Krumrie. Ryan was very helpful with his guidance during this process. He would follow-up quickly and answered all of my questions. The document he prepared was exactly what I expected. I would definitely use Ryan's legal services again.

Worked with Steve on numerous occasions and continue to do so. Usually put him in impossible situations from a timing perspective and he always manages to surprise me by getting the transactions completed when needed. Committed, dedicated and extremely competent in all that he does. And, in addition to all that, a genuinely "nice" man who respects his family, his community and his clients.

I was VERY pleased with the help I received from Mr Brehm. I had signed a lease to rent an apartment. After seeing the apartment I had second thoughts and didn't want to rent it (yes I signed the lease before I saw the apartment. Don't judge me. I know it was a stupid thing to do, but I was friends with the people.) The landlords were very clear that they weren't going to let me out of the lease, and were willing to go to court to enforce it. I could either move into an apartment I didn't want, or pay the rent until they found someone else to rent it. I called Mr Brehm and he had me drop my lease off at his office on my way to work. 2 hours later I received a text from him saying the lease had several illegal clauses in it. The next morning I stopped in to see him and he had written a letter to my landlords-to-be explaining that the lease was void and unenforceable and told them to return my security deposit. Honestly, I would have let them keep my deposit if they had just let me out of the lease. But with Mr Brehm's help 3 days later I received my $600 deposit back. It was the best possible outcome. Very happy with the services I received from my Brehm. He was very professional. Very prompt at taking my case and at contacting me. If I ever need another attorney, I know who I'll call first.

About 10 years ago I ended a business partnership. Jon covered the bases. Then a few years later the government tried to come after me for the taxes, because Jon took care of everything right the first time, the papers had all the dates proving I had no longer been there. Thank you Jon D. Anderson for being there and being that one person I could trust! Sincerely, Gary

Hired Tara for my first divorce of 38 years. A year later she worked a deal with the other attorney to get me $600 maintenance for 6 months. I said no way! She got angry and quit. With just 3 weeks til the trial I had to scramble to find a lawyer to represent me. I was awarded under his legal help $1200 a month for the rest of his life. She didnt give a crap how it was settled, from woman to woman she didn't look out for me. I still had to pay her full amount plus my other lawyers bill. She was a waste of time and money. I would really be in hardship if I had accepted the $600. Ladies, I cannot impress on you enough. Do not hire this woman.

I just went through a divorce with a partner who cheated after 17 years together. It was quite volatile. My attorney at Sterling talked me off of so many anxiety spirals. She was calming, yet matter of fact. She was communicative and provided options to solve the endless problems that presented themselves. I ended up getting my fair share in the process, and that is due to Sterling.

Based on reviews, it is more obvious Eric picks and chooses whom he treats fair, he had aided the courts in the weaponization of my mental health against myself to further than damage already inflicted, best to document your meetings with this person to ensure you do not find yourself ensnared in his malpractice. Had claimed he had been in contact with me yet my emails to his firm has proven differently until most recently, he had failed to notify my self of the individual (accusor) whom pursued hate crimes against my self had fled to a new department, has failed to address any concerns I had addressed such as suppression of evidence held by the GBPD, the editing of an interrogation video as well as the withholding of my possessions that are not involved.

T Wickham Schmidt was referred to us by another Green Bay attorney. We called him 2 months ago. He said he did NOT have a conflict of interest with any parties we want to sue. Said he would represent us for $2,500. I wanted to think about it. On January 19, 2024, I called his office again to say that matter have gotten worse and we could not resolve this case with the other party. I told him that I could send him a detailed e-mail and He agreed to read it. I sent it Sunday, January 22, 2024. He wrote back to me saying he wanted $500 for an opinion on my case and some information to help us resolve it in small claims court. I wrote back saying we would send him $500 after we got some detailed and useful information with some questions answered. To our shock, we got today, January 24, 2024, a 2 sentence message saying HE COULD NOT REPRESENT US. No explanation. No anything. We are very upset that this lawyer, in whom we put our trust treated us in such a shabby manner. We sent him confidential information, and put our trust in confidentiality. I can only hope that he, at least, destroys the sensitive and confidential information and sends me a postal letter that he has not shared the information we provided with anyone else.

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.
