Leon and his team are extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and ethical beyond reproach. We experienced Leon and his team as honest, helpful and always on top of their game. We at no stage felt like a number or that they were only in it for their fees. Our interests were at all times put first. Given Leon’s years of experience in his field he is very much in tune with the anxieties experienced by his clients during the immigration process and he never left us feeling insecure. Our enquiries were answered promptly and professionally. W can without reservation endorse this firm.

I highly recommend Leon Versfeld! I hired Leon to apply for an EB1 green card as a specialist in my field. I had lots of anxiety about it being approved as it's one of the most difficult green cards to obtain, however it was approved in 7 weeks. After becoming a permanent resident, my life and my business were never better and for 5 years I was counting the days to be able to apply for naturalization. I hired Leon again to apply for Naturalization. I am now a US Citizen! A lifelong dream!

Leon and his team have helped me with an L1 visa (as a one man business, I might add) and renewals of this visa since 2015, for a minor investment in processing and renewal fees, which over the entire period cost less than $100 000. My new renewed visa has just been issued and valid for another 2 years. So from 2015 till end of 2024 (total of 9 years), the investment is well worth it. Leon and his team are professional, thorough, and understanding. I highly recommend using them to navigate, what can otherwise be, a complicated process, where the correct guidance can be lacking from others. I am a fan of Leon and his team!

If you want the best criminal lawyer in Kansas City, don’t hesitate to go with David Bell. I’ve spoken with several other firms in the area and no other attorney was as knowledgeable or as empathetic as David. If you want an attorney who is responsive, experienced, organized, prepared, empathetic, intelligent, and communicative about costs, go with David. You’ll be lucky if he agrees to represent you. An added perk is that he is very funny and puts you at ease.

Michael was always thinking ahead for us cause we were dealing with a defendant who clearly knew the legal system and had done this before. Michael would communicate with us and keep us posted at all times and he would explain everything so we could understand it, many times attorneys will talk in their own language and you don;'t understand anything......not the case with Michael. I really appreciate him breaking things down so we couls understand what was happening with the case. He also does NOT drag on the case he does everything he can to wrap it up which is very refreshing. I've had many attorneys that seem to keep filing paperwork that just extends the case and I just keep paying lawyer fees, Michael is NOT that guy.

When seeking out a Lawyer for an Automotive Personal Injury case my wife and I talked to several lawyers. Of those we landed on using Scott to handle our case. He was very professional and willing to help at all times. My wife is hard of hearing so it was important to me that we found someone patient. Scott was a perfect example of this. He was always willing to talk with us as many times as needed for clarification and understanding. While the process to resolve our case took some time, Scott always took time to contact us and give us updates to make sure we knew things were still moving along. Once a settlement was reached Scott was there to explain all the details and make any recommendations we asked for, while not being overbearing. In short I would recommend Scott to anyone as a caring and understanding Attorney that takes the time to listen.

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.
