Rude woman answered the phone. Just hung up to find a nicer person. Why would you pay anything for someone to be rude when you are looking for information.
Edit: yes you did call to fuss about the 1 star review. No I did not ask for legal advice, I asked if something was legal to do. To be told "it like going into Walmart to buy a coke and telling them your not paying for it". If I am asking a question about it I am not buying it. no I am not paying $175 to find out if something is legal to do. Yes you are butt hurt or you would have never called me fussing about the 1 star review. Yes I have a lot on my plate so no I am not going to get into a debate with you about the rude statement your employee made. Maybe stop being rude because I was never rude to your employee and absolutely called her out on it over the phone before I hung up. Absolutely deserve the 1 star for the rude comment she made.

This reveiw is for Mr. Hill. I have never encountered a more unprofessional lawyer. I am the seller of a home and the buyer retained this practice to do the paperwork. The office would not return calls and then finally after 2 weeks of no response the phone was given to this lawyer, he was so rude and unprofessional towards me. He stated no one in his office wanted to talk to me because they knew I would be “peeved” and that I would yell at them. I had only spoken with one person 2 weeks prior and she was pleasant and so was I. He stated numerous times that no one wanted to be yelled at by me. I then told him that was not my nature and even if it was I was sick and couldn’t yell if I wanted to. I would never recommend this office even if their services were free.

I frequently refer employment cases to Jeremy Summerlin, and he is easily one of the subject matter experts in South Carolina, especially on the employee’s side. He knows exactly how to size up an employment case from intake, and he knows how to work it up in discovery. Most importantly, he has his clients’ best interests at heart and he handles his caseload with compassion and integrity.

Gratefully I was given Alex's name by another attorney who felt he would be a good fit for my case. His work was excellent from start to finish. He helped me navigate the family court system. I would highly recommend his law firm.

Alex and Gabrielle are both consummate professionals. All I needed was a simple, uncontested divorce. Alex called me promptly after my initial message and we had a pleasant conversation that didn’t feel rushed. Once it was time to move forward, it was as simple and smooth a process as it could be from start to finish.
It’s unfortunate that I needed their services, but I definitely chose the right team to handle it for me. You should definitely consider Alex and Gabrielle if the services they provide fall within a need you have.

Excellent service with everything happening exactly how I was told it would from Alex & Garbrielle! I started with a mutual agreement that needed to be finalized with court approval and did not know where to turn. I took a total chance from googling the local area and honestly after the fact I feel so lucky to have used them! Great transparency, knowledge, etc... you can not go wrong with him!

Not a fan. I had a new house built for me and was directed to use this firm. It was awful communicating with them, very rarely got information that I required in order to close.
At closing, which took all of 15 minutes, we had a punch list that was added to the closing documentation that the builder was obligated to finish within 21 days of closing.
As the days ticked off against the 21 days, a majority of the punch list items were not completed. I went to their office to speak to the attorney, and he was not there and I asked that he contact me. I waiting 2 weeks and not a single call.
After the 2 weeks, I wrote 3 emails and called 3 times leaving messages and explaining that the builder had not complied and to discuss next steps. Not one single response. How does a law firm operate this way?
I finally was able to have an assistant contact the lead attorney who didn't even have the decency or professionalism to return my call, only to be told via email that he was referring me to another attorney, not even in his office.
Now understand, I paid for BCP&Gregg to handle my closing and associated efforts. There was non compliance by the builder and after paying them they refer me to another law firm??
I contacted the law firm I was referred to only to be told it was $300 per hour to engage them. I explained I already paid BCP&Gregg and they said it has nothing to do with their fees.
I called the lead counsel again handling my closing only to be given his voicemail and left him a message asking him to explain why his firm wasn't completing their efforts on their clients behalf.
Needless to say that voicemail and request went into a black hole. The ironic part of this is that at closing they said they also handle personal estate work such as wills, and POA and they would be happy to assist me.
Based on their performance, or lack thereof, they wont see a single penny more from me.

They're good lawyers, that is to say they will overcharge you and try to take advantage of you at every turn. Wanted to charge me $300 to write a boilerplate POA, and $200 to overnight it to me to sign. I did it myself for free, and $30 to USPS it to them. Use them if you have money to blow I guess.

Dan Farnsworth Jr. and his paralegal, Lauren, are a great team who recently helped me through an unexpected legal situation. Dan's sound advice and extensive experience guided me through a potentially messy situation. Combined with Lauren's excellent communication skills and clear experience of her own, one could not ask for a better team to represent them. It is usually an unfortunate situation to "need" a lawyer, but if you find yourself in that situation, I highly recommend you contact Dan Farnsworth Jr. and Lauren so they can help you just as they helped me.

STAY AWAY! Save your time and money - go somewhere else! Especially if Leila Louzri and her crappy paralegal Nikki Tesnar take your case. They don’t respond, started my appeal 3 months ago and didn’t send the disability companies my medical records which were received over two months ago! I’ve emailed them both about 5 times this week with no response so I guess they want to lose the ability to continue representing me. Nikki the paralegal has a terrible attitude and seriously needs to retire! She is cranky, negative and unhelpful. They will be getting fired on Monday and I can’t wait! I’ll never leave my well being or money up these degenerates.

This law firm is a fraud. I ask would I have to pay taxes on settlement for disability the lawyer said no. They lied about case being open and close I got two different responses. When I called every time I had a different person I had to speak with no body knew nothing this was terrible. I never experienced such unprofessional lawyers.

I was referred to James Brehm from Lori Murray in Columbia. He was blunt and honest from the start he never sugar coated anything he didn't judge anyone and he got to work immediately. He helped my daughter and it was a big mix up but she could have had do do over everything. He got her out with a much better deal then her previous atty would even offer to try and do. I just returned again his prices are reasonable and he is fierce!!! I recommend 10000%!!!

THIS WOMAN SCREWED ME LEFT AND RIGHT. SHE TOLD ME A LIE EVERY TIME SHE OPENED HER MOUTH. SHE WOULD ATTEND SCHEDULED HEARINGS THAT I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT, AND ACT AS IF SHE HAD INFORMED ME OF THE DATE AND TIME, BUT NEVER TOLD ME ANYTHING.SHE MADE DECISIONS WITHOUT CONSULTING WITH ME. SHE AGREED TO SEVERAL CHANGES IN THE COURT ORDER, AND WOULDN'T NOTIFY ME. I WOULD HAVE TO FIND OUT BY RECEIVING A COPY OF CHANGED ORDERS IN THE MAIL 1-2 WEEKS LATER. SHE TOLD ME THAT I JUST NEEDED TO GIVE UP AND NOT WORRY ABOUT TRYING TO FIGHT BACK. JUST TO GIVE HIM WHAT HE ASKED FOR. BUT THE WORST IS THAT SHE SAID THAT I AGREED TO GIVE MY DAUGHTERS FATHER SOLE CUSTODY OF MY DAUGHTER, WHICH I HAVE RAISED HER ALONE SINCE BIRTH. THE FATHER WAS NEVER A PART OF HER LIFE CONSISTENTLY. THE DAY OF THE FINAL HEARING I WAS TOLD BY DAVIDA, THAT IF I DIDN'T AGREE TO WHAT THEY (THE FATHER AND HIS ATTY) WANTED, I WOULD GO TO JAIL. SHE REFUSED TO TELL ME WHAT THE AGREEMENT WAS, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE SHE HAD PUT SO MUCH FEAR IN ME, ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO LOSE CUSTODY OF MY BABY. I REQUESTED A COPY OF THE TRANSCRIPT FOR APRIL 29, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD TAKE ONLY 7-10 DAYS TO PREPARE THE TRANSCRIPT. AND THAT I WOULD GET A COPY IN THE MAIL. WELL I GOT A COPY ALRIGHT, ONE THAT SHE HAD REVISED TO MAKE IT LOOK AS IF I GAVE UP AND GAVE HIM EVERYTHING!! LONG STORY SHORT, ON APRIL 29 AFTER I WAS RELEASED FROM THE LEC, MY DAD RECEIVED A CALL FROM DAVIDA, AND SHE WOULD NO LONGER BE MY ATTY. THIS LADY CALLED AND FIRED HERSELF BECAUSE SHE KNEW THAT EVERYTHING SHE DID AND SAID TO ME WAS WRONG, AND SHE KNEW THAT SHE HAD MESSED UP. TO ME IT SEEMS AS THOUGH I WAS PAYING HER TO HAVE MY DAUGHTER TAKEN AWAY FROM ME AND HER BROTHERS. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT GOD DOES NOT LIKE UGLY AND IT WILL SOON CATCH UP WITH YOU, AND HE WILL HANDLE YOU AND HAVE YOU GO THROUGH A STORM WORSE THAN WHAT SHE PUT ME THROUGH.
I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, DO NOT HIRE THIS WOMAN TO REPRESENT YOU IN ANY SHAPE, FASHION, OR FORM FOR ANYTHING!! SHE IS A MONEY HUNGRY PERSON, SHE WILL LIE TO YOU AND TRY TO TAKE EVERY PENNY YOU HAVE.

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.
