Having problems with a roofing contractor. He looked over our contract. He saw we had paid according to the contract and the charges for what they called supplemental we were not responsible far. He also told us if we needed further assistance with this company he would help us. Very pleased with his attention to this matter.

Mr. Louis is an amazing attorney who is knowledgeable of both state and federal laws. Having never needed a lawyer before, I was quite nervous about approaching anyone. Mr. Louis took the time to explain the costs vs. benefits and kept me informed during the time that he assisted me with a wrongful termination lawsuit. Quite simply, he is an advocate for those who are mistreated by bullies. If you think you might need a lawyer, call or email Mr. Louis Koerner.

Update: I finally spoke to her, turns out she’s not that bad of a person. It may just be the way the family member had things set up, which was not in our best interest. I wish we could have spoken with her a lot sooner, maybe things would have turned out better.
It’s going on over 3 years they are handling my parents succession. We gotten no where. Over 2 years I have been calling and leaving my call back number and they have yet to return my calls. One sibling is in charge and must have gotten them to agree not to talk to us. Red flags everywhere. I do not recommend this firm

Neil went to bat for me and my family in a pretty ugly situation and helped us to get our lives back on track. What I most appreciated was his willingness to drive an hour and a half to another parish to file papers on my behalf; AND his punctuality in returning all calls was very helpful to me. I can't imagine a better lawyer out there. It seemed he sincerely cared about me and my kids and was willing to go the extra mile for us. This didn't go unnoticed and I appreciated it very much since our situation got a bit dire. Under the worst pressure, he not only didn't buckle he fought harder for us and succeeded. Thank you very much. Neil Montgomery=A great attorney.

Neil is my attorney and has been for a while. He will continue to act for me through this divorce and any other legal matters. Neil has wisdom that you can not easily find amongst regular lawyers. Neil can fight in the trenches with even the nastiest of attorney's. He will worry about your case all night long so you can try to sleep soundly. Neil's his true temperament tells me one day he will become a well respected judge because his fairness defines him.
I wish to comment about another review about Neil which wasn't favorable. This open forum allows for anyone to write whatever they want. It is so unfair if there is a personal vendetta which it seems there is from what seems to be the losing side who went up against Neil Montgomery. You chose but to me - negative comments from the losing side seems like sour grapes rather than legitimate review. I know that I am glad his my attorney and although I hope for fairness, if the other side wishes to blame their failure on the other attorney, Neil is professional enough to let the mud slinging fall right off his back. He works very hard for HIS client so you probably want him as your attorney.

There is NO place in the institution of Justice for this man. If you want an attorney that DOESN'T have your children's best interest at heart, please do hire him. If you're looking for an attorney that wants to work with his client & all parties involved the Neil is NOT THE MAN FOR YOU. He hasn't learned anything in the short 9 years of his career because his EGO supersedes him and interferers with his application of the law. He advises his client to get children involved in the cases using unscrupulous tactics. I'm glad I'm done with this man and so is my attorney. His refusal to respond to emails, faxes and phone calls cost me more in the end. My advice to him would be to take a few ethical classes.

Do not waste your money! Sara filled my head with things we would ask for in court and her ideas on how things would go- then when the hearing happened- Sara sat in the zoom court hearing and did pretty much NOTHING to the point where I texted her during the hearing asking if she was helping me at all! None of what we discussed or put in court papers was mentioned. She did NOTHING. Then just recently the apposing party filed court papers. Sara didn’t notify me AT ALL. I had to go online and pay to view the court documents that had been filed the month before prior. I asked if the document had been received and was lied to! She stated that she had not received them and service was slow. The document was EMAILED. Then the day of the court hearing, Sara was NO WHERE to be found. I was forced to handle the court hearing myself, got lucky and was given a continuance after explaining my attorneys short comings. (It’s pretty sad when a full court room gasps when hearing how she just disregarded her own client)
After court I texted her letting her know that court had taken place and all I could get was that they were sorry for the inconvenience and “miscommunication” and that they received some documentation last week then they tried to inform me of the ew court date that I WAS THE ONE THAT SET IT with the judge. I questioned why I wasn’t informed and was told by her “legal assistant” that Sara was ill. Now after wasting my money on Sara, I have to get another attorney. Save yourself the headache and seek other counsel! This lady will take your money and leave you out to fend for yourself when the court date comes up.

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.
