Faced with a payment collection problem Mr. McLawhorn was able to arrange a mediation to try to negotiate the issues and avoid costly litigation. Mclawhorn was well prepared and was able to aggressively point out the pitfalls and downside of the debtors position and secured a full judgment and ultimately collection of the debt. His guidance during the entire process exceeded all our expectations!

You cannot make a better decision for legal representation than Sonny McLawhorn. Behind his easy-going style and likeability, he is tenacious and not afraid to be aggressive in his representation to make sure your rights are protected. Saying Sonny is exemplary is an understatement. He listens thoroughly to your concerns to get a complete understanding of what legal help you require and always goes the extra mile to achieve it. His knowledge of the law, negotiating skills, integrity and undying work ethic show in his ability to give you unsurpassed representation and attain the best outcome, no matter the situation.

Our family has used Mr. Porter's help in dealing with normal to very abnormal real estate transactions. He has always been very professional, attentive to our needs, and willing to work with the parties to come up with a solution that works for all. He is also very fair when it comes to his fees and we would recommend him highly if you are ever in need of a business or personal real estate attorney.

My experience with Horne and Horne was extremely frustrating overall, but I’m giving them 2 stars because they were pleasant at the closing. After moving from Seattle to Greenville, NC, my wife and I trusted them to handle the legal side of buying our first home, but their delays caused significant issues. They dragged their feet for weeks, failing to send critical documents to our lender on time, which pushed our closing date back by four days. This forced us to pay for extra hotel days and added unnecessary stress to an already difficult move. I even had to leave work early on my second day at a new job to deal with their delays. While the closing process itself went smoothly, the lack of urgency and communication leading up to it made the experience far more difficult than it needed to be.

As others have said, be wary of doing business with this law firm if you're selling your home. They insisted that we come to the office and sit down to sign documents that easily could've been electronically signed, which was fine.. but then they told us AFTER signing that they will no longer electronically wire funds due to "wire fraud".. um, sure. They gave us the option of having the check mailed to us, which would arrive 4-5 days after closing, or paying $30 to have it overnighted. Since $30 is outrageous for an envelope, we requested it be mailed to our new address and verified that they had it correctly listed.
After two weeks passed and we did not receive the check, we reached out to the firm. When we finally connected with the office, the woman we spoke with was rude and said that if we needed the money so bad, we should've spent the $30 to overnight it. WOW. Eventually she said she would speak with the attorney. When she called us back later that day, she said the check had been returned to their office because she'd put the wrong zip code. She said they would overnight it, and we FINALLY got it... for a completely different amount then stated on our paperwork. When we called back, we were told the amount was different because of yet another error they made on their end.
To make a long story short, legal fees are not cheap and you shouldn't waste your time with one that is a) not going to treat you with respect and b) not capable of being thorough and complete with sensitive financial documents. I understand that we are all human and make mistakes, but being proactive and kind can go a long way.

I hired Mr Hill for a custody order with my ex-husband. It turns out, Mr Hill and opposing counsel were old friends. I trusted my attorney whole-heartedly, and signed papers that he said were fair and equal. I would up firing him because he wasn't being completely faithful to me and my concerns. Since then, I've hired another attorney who is SHOCKED that Mr Hill would allow me to sign these papers. According to my current lawyer, my ex has so many loop holes written in these papers, and I was basically screwed out of everything. I would NOT recommend Mr Hill to my worst enemy! His attitude is very laid back, and doesn't care about the outcome, only the paycheck at the end of the day.

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.
