Mason Archie, II served as a 2024 Summer Associate and was wrongfully terminated. The firm has been in existence for over 150 years and attempted to make their first Native American/Black/Latino hire. Their reasoning was that Mason needs "help". This was after Mason requested to attend the NBA National Convention in Las Vegas. The firm approved Mason's work and school schedule, then went on to terminate him for the same scenario that was approved. A civil suit will be filed against CCHA for wrongful termination.

Mr. Bruce Bitner incorrectly filed my father's taxes in 2022 after he sold his local Noblesville business after 40 years. My hard working father hired Mr. Bitner to file his taxes, and he reported my dad's business proceeds as capitol gains, thus costing my father thousands of dollars in taxes and hours of his own time getting he and my mom's back pay from social security. When my dad called him out on his error, he insisted he filed it correctly. My dad hired a local accountant for $300 who refiled it CORRECTLY and he got the thousands of dollars owed him in overpaid taxes from both federal and state government. Money he never would have received had be not been more knowledgeable then the attorney he hired. But my father still had to spend hours of his own time getting their social security benefits back to what they were supposed to be due to this gross error. My mother and father got thousands refunded from both the federal and state governments as a result of Mr. Bitner's incompetence and refusal to acknowledge that he made a costly error. My dad has the records (and refunds) to prove it. When he told Mr. Bitner that the local accountant filed it correctly and he got refunds, Mr. Bitner said, "well I could have done that." Good Lord. Does his arrogance know no bounds? He wouldn't even acknowledge to my father that he made a gross error in the first place. When my dad asked for his fees paid to Mr. Bitner to be refunded (plus interest), Brucey actually said, "didn't the government pay you interest?" Degrees do not make people smart, competent nor compassionate. Mr. Bitner now refuses to talk to my father or return repeated phone calls. It's been months. My dad has lost the enjoyment of the almost $3000 they charged him plus all my dad's time and loss of enjoyment of the money he earned by changing tires and towing vehicles for 40 years. My dad and mom are known to many locally in Noblesville as generous, kind, hard-working people. It breaks my heart to see them treated with such disregard by those that are in a position to do financial harm. They both grew up extremely poor and clawed their way to success. My dad retired as a truck driver at 50 years old and bought a Shell franchise. He ran it as Shell gas and service station and later McMillan's Towing and Auto Care. He didn't retire until he was 85 years old. He is now 88. A proud army veteran. And smarter than Mr. Bitner, because if it weren't for him knowing the difference, my mom and dad would be out thousands of dollars and none the wiser. He and my mom have been married for 65 years. It breaks my heart to hear that a local attorney is treating my father this way. My dad had to spend hours on the phone to get his social security benefits restored after Mr. Bitner's incompetence. Please think again before hiring Mr. Bitner or those who think he's worthy of a partnership. God bless people like my parents: honest, hard working, people who treated their hundreds of customers over the years honestly and fairly. I know this rambles a bit, but anyone reading this knows the love a daughter has for her parents. Sincerely, Debbie McMillan Mason

I had the privilege of working with Marianne Tucker, and words cannot express the gratitude I feel for the incredible impact she had on our family during a challenging time. Marianne played a pivotal role in uncovering damaging parental alienation behaviors, consistently advocated for our children, and demonstrated unwavering determination in our case. From the outset, Marianne exhibited a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding parental alienation and the harm it inflicts on children. Her keen insight into the legal nuances of our situation, coupled with a compassionate approach, set her apart from the rest. Throughout the process, Marianne demonstrated a commitment to protecting the well-being of our children, always placing their needs at the forefront. What truly sets Marianne apart is her tenacity and refusal to give up on our case. In the face of challenging circumstances, she remained steadfast, providing reassurance and strategic guidance that proved invaluable. Marianne consistently went above and beyond, tirelessly working to uncover the truth and present a compelling case on behalf of our family. In the end, Marianne not only secured a favorable outcome for our family but also helped us navigate the emotional complexities that often accompany legal battles involving parental alienation. I wholeheartedly recommend Marianne to anyone seeking a dedicated, compassionate, and highly skilled attorney. Her commitment to justice, unwavering advocacy for children, and ability to persevere in the face of adversity make her an outstanding legal professional. Thank you, Marianne, for being the lifeline our family needed during a challenging chapter in our lives.

Divorce is awful. However, Lisa Anderson and the team and Mallor Grodner Attorneys made the process as painless as possible. My calls were always returned. My rights to my finances and child were protected, and I felt complete confidence in their recommendations. I would highly recommend Lisa Anderson and the entire team to anyone attempting to navigate the dark waters of divorce. They helped me find the light at the end of the tunnel.

I can not describe in words how much I would NOT recommend Ann. I have never written a google review before, and am simply writing this to (hopefully) give others a chance to find someone else to represent them in ANY legal situation. Also, honestly, I am spiteful and hope I never encounter another “Ann”. I am now having to hire another lawyer to undo what she has done. She was hired by my fathers mentally-ill and ex-communicated ex-wife….to REDO HIS WILL. All of the paperwork Ann drew up states them as HUSBAND AND WIFE, without asking for proof. My father CLEARLY has dimentia. I later learned Ann was doing a favor for friends of the church they all attend. There was already a will of 5+ years put into place. Involving POA’s, Bankers and other attorneys. Who were disgusted to hear of Ann’s practices. Ann brought a long-time-lawyer-friend of my fathers (shout-out David B!) when he had to sign the documents in the hospital while he was incoherent and on heavy drugs. This friend/attorney (who was not with her firm), convinced my mentally-ill father to sign them. I no longer trust lawyers, thanks Ann! PS Prepare to listen to her child scream in the background of any calls!

As a board member of the Vagabond HFR we retained their services against Duke Energy a handful of years back. I don’t received bills with no updates on services and they eventually quit responding altogether. Terrible experience.

"I'm exhausted from being mistreated and bullied because of my lack of education. It feels like those in positions of power are trained to take advantage of and silence marginalized individuals like me. I'm fed up with being disrespected and undervalued. All I've ever wanted is for someone to be held accountable for their actions and to be treated with dignity and respect. Unfortunately, I was denied fair compensation for my work and wasn't given a chance to thrive. I'm at a breaking point, feeling like I'm not good enough in this society. I've even considered harming myself in a desperate cry for help. But I want to make it clear that I hold those who have wronged me accountable. I will speak out against the injustices I've faced and make sure that the names and companies responsible are known. I hope that someday, I'll receive the fair chance I deserve. Until then, I'll keep seeking justice and support. May peace be with those who truly care about the well-being of others."

We hired Jonathan a few years ago in a custody battle that was going nowhere with another attorney. From day one he was on top of things. He was able to wrap things up quickly and always keeping me informed. Jonathan cares and takes the time to help you. The staff was very helpful as well. I was very grateful for everything they did. Oh and if it matters he won the case too.

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.
