This is my second review of Lindley Law and my satisfaction is the same. Attorney Lindley is truly the best at what she does. Her team, Mrs. Brenda etc is very professional and knowledgeable and will keep you informed throughout. I had a couple of court cases and all I had to do was show up to my court date once. Mrs. Lindley did everything else and got my cases dismissed. Efficient and effective. She is the only lawyer I will use. Highly recommend!

Listennnn! Attorney Carpenter did in two weeks what another attorney didn’t do in an ENTIRE YEAR! This is not a hyperbole, this is a documented fact! He came highly recommended but because of the lack from the other attorned we were skeptical! He got the job done and there was not even a need for a court appearance! He is not only good at what he does, but also down to earth and understanding of your feelings regarding the matter and the need for quick dissolution/resolution! We are so grateful for him and never even met him in person! If I could give six ⭐️s I would! I hope to never need another attorney but if I do, he is definitely my choice hands down!

Very professional but even more commendable was how attentive and personable Mr. Carpenter was. When it comes to legal processes that one may not completely understand, trust is a big factor. You want someone that understands you, has your back and applies the law appropriately and effectively .I believe that is a rare quality these days. We were not just another number in his contact list. He always got back to us and knowing that put us more at ease. I highly recommend him! Best choice we ever made!

Attorney Richardson is frank, direct and goes straight to business. Something that I respect is just that. When his words to me is “What do you want to do?” That was my first sign to me he means business. Here I was thinking I’m going to meet his paralegal. Absolutely was not the case. I found myself in a room sitting in front of the attorney himself. After offering us coffee (my wife and I) the attorney went right into my case. He listens, processes all that you tell him about your case and then executes what is best for you. After our first meeting (same day) it didn’t take an hour before he had us sitting once again in his office gathering more information about my case. PHENOMENAL experience and exactly what I need. Someone who actually cares and has a personal relationship with his client.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Adam Kerr, of KerrLaw, for the establishment of a living trust, and I can confidently say that our experience was outstanding. After speaking with several lawyers, we chose Mr. Kerr, and it was a decision that we’re extremely pleased with. The depth and breadth of the living trust that Mr. Kerr crafted for us were beyond our expectations. He also created new advanced health care directives, general power of attorney documents, last wills, and health care POAs for my wife and me. This comprehensive approach was not something we received about eight years ago when we engaged an online lawyer service. Mr. Kerr’s documents were not just superior in quality; they also exhibited a remarkable depth of understanding and attention to detail. His expertise and dedication to ensuring our legal documents were tailored to our specific needs were evident throughout the process. In summary, our experience with Adam Kerr was exceptional. If you’re in need of a lawyer for estate planning or related legal matters, we wholeheartedly recommend his services. His commitment to excellence, coupled with the superior quality of the documents he provides, sets him apart in his field. We are truly grateful for his expertise in helping us secure our family’s future.

Mr. Hensel represented me in an "employment" matter concerning services rendered and not paid for. I still had property of the other person. He worked diligently and kept me informed of progress. While the other party kept using stall tactics, Mr. Hensel took it in stride and kept me on an even keel. I would definitely recommend Mr. Hensel for any employment or labor problems you have.

I was recommended to John Kirkman in 2006 when. a former girlfriend spread rumors at my workplace and used my efforts to be left alone to feign the need for a restraining order. Mr Kirkman failed to comprehend these dynamics and failed to return phone calls. I called his office to relieve him of representation of me, yet he still showed up in court and billed me for the time. If you seek an attorney where communication is important to you I would hire one of the many other defense attorneys in Freensboro. Two stars is a gift.

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.
