Pat was recommended to me for estate planning. From an initial phone consultation everything was clear and simple from the questionnaire to the fees. I just signed all my documents after procrastinating way too long. I would definitely recommend.

I am very pleased with the preparation and delivery of my will and estate planning documents. Pat Hanis did a really good job, capably assisted by Paralegal Steven Bash. They were very professional and patient with me through a family and a personal injury crisis that I went through during this period of time. Thank you very much for all your help.

I had a few legal questions I needed answered, so I contacted Zachary Herschensohn of Herschensohn Law. Mr. Herschensohn was easy to talk to about sensitive issues and didn't try to sell me on services or representation. If he couldn't answer a question right away, it was because he needed more information before he could give me an accurate answer. I found Mr. Herschensohn to be thoughtful, calm, and warm. He explained his areas of expertise and explained how important it is to him to excel in his performance and practice of the law. I walked away feeling like he was a very competent attorney and someone I could trust. Thank you for your time, Mr Herschensohn.

I sent Mr. Zach some questions I was curious about asking an attorney but didnt know if they would respond. He responded with detailed answers and called back which was nice in this world of too much email. If I ever get in a wreck I know who I will be calling. Will tell others about him in case they need a lawyer

I recently worked with Brumley Law Firm after being involved in a car accident, and I can’t recommend them enough. From the very first consultation, they made the process clear and easy to understand. The attorneys were highly knowledgeable, walked me through each step of the legal process, and always kept me updated on the status of my case. What really stood out to me was their attention to detail and genuine care for my well-being, special thank you to Prerana for being so patient and informative. They were responsive to any questions I had and took the time to explain things in a way that made me feel confident. Thanks to their hard work, I was able to receive fair compensation for my injuries and damages. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional team to handle your car accident case they are the team for you.

Joshua Dabling was great help. We had a situation where the school called CPS on our family. I was really scared, but he helped us through the whole situation guiding us on what to except and being there while meeting with the caseworker. Everything turned out fine and I was so relieved. I keep his number handy and reach out for consultations anytime I'm not sure on legal situations. I recommend Joshua Dabling to everyone I know.

On a daily basis, our company works with dozens of law firms throughout the country and world. We have been working with Dabling since 2010. Dabling's trustworthiness, responsiveness, analytical skills, excellent research skills, speaking skills, and listening skills have been fundamental in successful resolution of many cases for our clients and ours. His judgement, perseverance, perspective and fairness are why we refer many clients to Dabling. Most importantly, Dabling won't use up a client's initial $$$ retainer on Admin/Paralegal fees before working on the scope. This is a tactic many law firms utilize, then request a second $$$ retainer. Also, if there is the slightest conflict of interest, Dabling will let you know. Unlike some law firms, that take your $$$ retainer knowing there is a conflict of interest, and deliberately do nothing on your case, except burn up your $$$ retainer. Dabling keeps up to date on changes in law, his accuracy and precision are obvious and this reflects positively on the outcomes/dispositions/judgments. Dabling has excellent judgment and decision-making skill when it comes to which cases are worth pursuing and which not. Finally, an attorney’s personality is paramount and Dabling is respectful, fair, caring, loyal, and judges, opposing counsel, and juries acknowledge this.

She made the difficult decisions easy. I have recommended her to all my friends and family. I just want to say thank you, and I think she is so great. Totally recommend her to anyone in need of help with their estate plan or real estate.

I recently sold my house and the buyer recommended that we have Julie Christenson act as escrow agent. I must admit that I had a bit of trepidation at first about accepting a buyer recommended attorney. However, Julie has done a truly excellent job for me as seller and I believe for the buyer as well. An unexpected complication arose during my home sale; there was an unknown 29 year old lien against my property by a credit union that no longer existed under its original name. Julie helped discover their present identity and the lien was quickly released. I needed a one week 'delayed possession' beyond the closing date to finish clearing my personal property. For this there was a $5000 holdback. After that week I was out and Julie saw to it that the holdback money was returned very expeditiously. Julie is on the ball and one could not ask for a more diligent and, above all, effective professional. Mike

Attacked me personally when I asked her for help on my case. Told me I was in the wrong and talked down to me, called me names. Refused to help the moment she saw the case materials. Case was just heard in court and guess what? I was NOT in the wrong per the judge. She is unskilled and unhelpful at best, biased boomer Karen at worst.

Susan Beecher helped us through a very rough case (our business partner sued us) where we barely had any proof for our truths and the plaintiff had all the proof to make us look guilty. She gave us the best possible advice and guided us in the right direction. I’m so glad we found her and couldn’t ask for anyone better to represent us.

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.
