This man is amazing. With one phone call and explanation of what was going on with my bank account within minutes he called me back and got started on my case. Knowing that somebody is on my side is taking so much stress off of me. His rates are fair. I would recommend him to anybody that feels helpless going up against a bank.

Philip Hamilton is a great lawyer who genuinely cares about his clients.
I had a family court case that was a custody battle between my deceased wife's brother and I.
At the time my health was really bad. I was suffering from heart disease and some other acute health issues that resulted in getting surgery.
I had been out of work and was on leave but my pay wasnt the same.
Attorney Hamilton assured me that he could help and he did just that.
He just charged me for court filings and told me to just concentrate on getting better.
He worked out all the paperwork in court and diligently assisted me all the way to an agreement and now my children are in a great place to were I co parent with their uncle.
I constantly recommend him as my lawyer..

He has recently referred me to another attorney for my will and estate planning and I was thrilled with the attorney he referred. Robb is a great guy all the way around.

Darren helped me out on numerous occasions for both personal and professional issues. He was consistently energetic, honest, and very good at thinking "out of the box". He clearly had a superior grasp on the legal side of things, but took the time to explain them to me in "layman's terms", which I greatly appreciate.
The outcome of several business situations turned out all favorable to myself and my partners. Even if they had not, I respect Darren's level of professionalism. I highly recommend him to anyone that has the need.
His creativity saved me a lot of money and I will call him again in the future, should the need arise.

It was great being able to talk with him without having to worry about being charged for every minute. Phil knows the law and knows business. He had great insights on how to get what we needed done, he knew how to negotiate the right terms and helped me protect my business so I could focus on making money.

I normally would never write a review. But I feel like it would be unfair for me not to recommend Phil to anyone, including my peers. He is top notch, very through, professional, and has honest pricing. Do not hesitate working with him, you will not regret it. Thank you for everything Phil!

Ean Hamilton helped me set up my LLC. The entire time required of me was less than an hour, and it was final 10 days later (8 business days), including the EIN. Ean did all the brain work and guided me through the process. She was super responsive and laid out everything that was required of me now and in the future. It was a great value and totally worth the cost compared with doing it myself and worrying I would get something wrong. Working with Ean was a pleasure, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to set up an LLC within Michigan.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional work of Randall Levine and Anastase Markou throughout my legal process. From the very beginning, they made sure I was informed, supported, and prepared every step of the way. Navigating the legal system can be incredibly stressful, but they turned a daunting experience into one that I felt confident facing.
What stood out most was Randall’s dedication and commitment. He took the time to explain every detail, making sure I understood my options and the potential outcomes. His responsiveness was unmatched—I never felt left in the dark, and every question or concern I had was addressed promptly and thoroughly.
Beyond his legal expertise, Randall was compassionate and empathetic. He truly cared about my well-being, not just the case itself. This personal touch made a world of difference during such a difficult time.
Thanks to this firm, I received the best possible outcome, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you need a defense attorney who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly cares about his clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Levine & Levine. They exceeded all my expectations and then some.

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.
