Excellent Experience. He was to the point and answered all the questions without wasting any time, which have not been my experience with other attorneys. I actually got all my questions answered in first 15 minutes of the call. I mean, how many times can you say that?

I had an excellent experience with Maria-Lawyer. From the very first consultation, she made me feel at ease and understood my situation thoroughly. Her expertise in immigration law is evident, and she provided clear guidance throughout the entire process. Communication was prompt and transparent, and I never felt lost or confused about the next steps. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking immigration assistance. She truly care about her clients and go above and beyond!

I was referred to Justin by EAP. I did an initial consult with him and hired him for my divorce case. He started ghosting me and would give lame excuses if and when he answered the phone. He screwed my case in all possible ways. Never spent time preparing for a hearing, never discussed what ramifications are needed. He is very unprofessional and should be avoided at all costs. He will make you and your case look like a joke in front of the Judge and am sure any NCG attorney can beat him.

Mr. Ewert did a fantastic job settling my case (avoiding a judgement against me) for me and took a huge weight off my shoulders. Upon our initial meeting, he took the time to listen to my concerns and ask what my desired outcomes were. He did exactly what I asked in buying me time to build up my savings reserve and then surpassed my expectations when meeting with the other side to negotiate the best deal possible for me.

I ended up with JD as a result of my orginal lawyer leaving the firm he was partner with JD. That should have been a big red flag! I didn't have time or the money to search for another lawyer and figured since JD was at the same firm as my original lawyer, he would be just as prepared as good. BIG MISTAKE! JD sold me a fairytale during my consult with him and wheeled me in by stating he would review all my previous lawyers ,ie his former partner's notes, but did not! I noticed as the months went by that it go harder and harder to get in touch with his office and found out his paralegal had quit too! Another red flag! I couldn't get legal advise or a status update on my case. When I finally did get in touch with JD, he would brush it off and say they are short help and phone lines are messed up! How professional! I ended up having to hire another attorney and thankfully they were able to save my case at the last minute. My advise is, if an attorney's partner and paralegal leaves...RUN and save yourself the headache of being ignored and taken advanced of.

Jason Reed sold us out for 2/3 of the money we could have collected. On August 30, 2021 we told him via email that “we as a board are not of the mindset to waive any sort of late fees, penalties, interest, etc. we have a collection policy and we the board do not discrimination in the application of that policy.” On August 31, 2021 at 9:29AM Jason Reed replied to us with “I (Reed) will report to opposing counsel that the Association is not going to waive any of the charges and feel that Mr. (Name of person being sued by us) is responsible for all assessments, late charges, collection costs, including attorney’s fees, and the fines levied against the respective units” Later that week we reached out to Jason Reed about the state of things as foreclosure was scheduled for early the next week. Reed informed us that the person being sued came in and paid about 2/3 of the money owed and since everything but fines were now paid, we could not pursue the foreclosure any longer and we were still owed the fines. When Jason Reed wouldn’t pursue things further we requested copies of all communication and discovered the following. On Tuesday August 31, 2021, 12:44PM : Reed replies to an email to the opposing lawyer and states If the amounts minus the fines are paid, then the sale will no longer be an issue.” NOTE: It appears here that in the span of three hours and 15 minutes, Reed has unilaterally (without client feedback) decided what he will accept in direct contradiction to written instruction by his client.

Daniel W. Schreimann had my tax and personal information for months. He did not return calls while we waited to hear back on our taxes ruining multiple opportunities to buy a house when we needed to prove our income with tax returns. The offices seemed professional enough but that is where any form of being professional ends. I spoke with his assistant for the last time and told her that I had not received a call back after half a dozen calls. I received an email the next day "Please feel free to find another CPA." Not sure what happened but we will not be using Mr. Schiemann and would not recommend him for anyone else.

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.
