Mr. Tenry was very knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable. He went through all of my options and helped me make the decision best for my situation (home warranty neglect). He kept me informed every step of the way and I would certainly recommend and use Mr. Tenry again.

My firm has been associated with Mr. Dickenson since 1985. I have personally dealt with him since 1991. He represents us in several areas related to Credit Union operations including Collections, Bankruptcy, foreclosure, contract review and extensive legal research. His primary role as our attorney has been representation in foreclosure and bankruptcy matters. He not only has extensive knowledge of the bankruptcy code and case law, he has a pristine reputation with the local Federal court system. He also has the respect of other law practitioners, both debtor and creditor slanted, which is extremely valuable when dealing with potentially contentious cases. On many occasions, I feel certain that other attorneys have decided that if Mr. Dickenson feels strongly enough about a case to let them know our position is to litigate if not resolved, they often resolve the case instead of facing him in a trial situation. In a trial environment or a deposition, his demeanor is one of someone organized and confident. He is not cocky or blustery, but is polished and authentic. This demeanor has served him well. He never talks down to the other parties in a case, but always right at them. He can be intimidating by his demeanor, but only due to his mannerisms. When on a break in depositions or trials, he is very polite and personable to the opposing parties. When it is time to talk under oath, he is very thorough and straight forward. As to foreclosures, he is completely knowledgeable in the statutes covering all the nuances of statutory and case law. On more than one occasion, a situation has arisen that scared me when a person of interest would raise an issue I was unfamiliar with only to find out Mr. Dickenson had addressed during the process. One case in particular involved an IRS lien. An agent went after me for not providing a certain notification to the IRS. I found out Mr. Dickenson had taken care of it properly during the foreclosure process. In summary, the fact that I have many choices and have still elected to use Mr. Dickenson for 24 years is a testament to the respect my company and I personally have for him. It is always satisfying to hear the relief a good attorney has when learning we are represented by him, and the sigh of resignation when a not-so-good attorney learns who represents us. While not obtaining total perfection in every issue for 24 years, he has more than exceeded my expectations and there are no plans to change. His rates are very fair, and he actually picks up the phone when called if he is in the office. His integrity is also without question which is very important to my firm and myself. I highly recommend Tom Dickenson for competent representation. While specializing in bankruptcy and foreclosure, he is well versed in many areas of the law and will only take cases that he believes are ethical and worthy. An individual or organization needing a good attorney, especially in bankruptcy, foreclosure, or contract matters cannot go wrong in choosing Mr. Dickenson.

In December 2015 my house had an upstairs water line break while I was out of the house for a kitchen remodel. Water ran for 12-18 hours and ruined the newly placed hardwood flooring and most of my content. Insurance stepped in and provided a fair estimate of the work, but I was hasty in selecting a new contractor for the work that turned out to not be qualified (to say the least). This was a grave mistake. The contractor was behind schedule, placed my new kitchen cabinets outside to get rained on, but worst of all he did not know how to install hardwood flooring and did the worst job possible. When I expressed dissatisfaction with the work in place he walked off the job and let my house in ruin. Knowing that I was going to have to fire and sue, I started asking around for legal advice. Briton Collins was recommended to me by my mother who is in tune with the local legal community, so I consulted with Briton and decided he was the best advice available. Briton navigated me through the Notice of Default procedures so that the "process" was correct from the beginning. Then we stepped through the beginning of the arbitration process. Arbitration clause=red flag, don't sign that contract! We ultimately settled just before the hearing. Without Briton's strong presence during the process, I know I would have gotten nothing. I believe somewhat surprised I decided to settle (pleasantly surprised, I believe), Briton was extremely clear with me to make sure I understood what I was doing. I appreciate the repetition when it comes to confirming big decisions. I don't wish what I was put through on anyone, but if something similar happens to you, you will be better off consulting with a professional such as Briton.

After getting myself into serious enough trouble that it could have derailed my life, I couldn't be happier or more relieved after Mr. Grady Smith handled my case. After speaking with Mr. Morrell about my case, he recommended Mr. Smith as he was the most familiar with my local law enforcement and it certainly worked in my favor. Mr. Smith was very polite, knowledgeable, and explained everything in a way I could easily understand. I can't stress enough that the outcome was much better than I, or my family and friends, could have ever expected. I'll be recommending this law firm to anyone who asks for as long as I'm around.

I couldn’t recommend Bond Law Firm enough! Mr. Bond and Lisa are great people and they care for their clients. They are easy to talk to and don’t care to answer any questions. They walked me through the entire process and I’m so incredibly grateful for everything they did. If you need someone that is going to fight for you Mr. Bond is the man to call!

Lisa and Mr. Bond were wonderful to deal with. Don’t hesitate to call them, because you really do need someone on your side to navigate the insurance system. I was absolutely floored with the settlement they received for us. Best part is that they actually care and have empathy for what you are going through. Highly, highly, recommend.

We in no way wanted to leave a Google review. We wanted to let it be. When our case settled in May 2024 as we left Lisa ask us to leave one. We never promised we would. However, after she has contacted multiple times I suppose I will. I will start by saying Lisa & Mr.bond are nice people. Was our case settled, yes. It did take a year but that was due to some circumstances beyond either’s control. My daughter was in a car accident & we were referred by a mutual friend. During the course of the year I kept a spread sheet of mileage, work missed etc. submitting these things to Lisa as I went. We were approaching the statute of limitations so the pressure was on. I was being ask to provide information that had already been provided. I was given a list of drs offices per Lisa to call to obtain balances from…while working a full time job none the less. I was under the assumption this was part of the lawyers job..however, I called. They would respond with “I’ve already given that information to your lawyer”….so why was I also making the calls…I don’t have my phone nor does my daughter where we work during the day so this was challenging & frustrating. It just felt like things may have been misplaced when I had already provided it. Did they settle the case, yes. Are they both nice people, yes. If given the choice knowing what I know would I chose their office again, no. Like I said, I didn’t want to leave a review at all, but feel as though I didn’t have a choice in the matter short of changing our phone numbers so we wouldn’t continue to be contacted about leaving one.

Ms. Alicia Cottrell was the best attorney that I have ever worked with. She answered every question with solid answers. She explained the entire process from beginning to end during our initial conversation. She was very easy to converse with and available when I needed clarity or advise. Alicia is very hard working, dedicated to her clients and knows the ins and outs of her profession. I used Alicia for a dental contract, for a new job. Coming from a dentist standpoint, I was only familiar with the clinical aspect of the contact. But she was very patient while trying to make me fully understand the legal aspect of the contract. She was very honest and transparent advising me what to except and what to negotiate. I would and have recommended Alicia to all of my colleagues, accepting new jobs with any type of contract.

Although it has been 20 years since Mr. Harb represented my husband and I, we still remember him with appreciation and respect. He helped us through an emotionally very difficult and trying defense with a partner's suit of wrongful termination. With his expertise and presentation, the unjustified case against us was dropped. Mr. Harb is a gentleman and maintained the highest caliber of conduct and performance--as well as much needed kind understanding and reassurance. We have experience with only one other attorney of his caliber and in leaving a review for that fine attorney today, I was reminded of Mr. Harb. I can only imagine the fine representation he provides now after 20 more years of experience!

I am unable to express completely the gratitude I have for you for the work put into my case. You are truly a model example of what a professional In their field should be. I knew then and know now that I did the right thing. Receiving the vindication through the court with documentation is what I sought and the closure from having reached that objective is satisfying. I am humbled by and grateful for the dedication shown on my behalf. I appreciate you and hold you in high regard. I would absolutely not forget about you. Should I need legal services in the future I would not look anywhere else. It is worth it to have the confidence of your representation while going through a difficult and stressful situation. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet you and get to know you throughout this process. I pray for God’s continued protection, guidance, and direction in your life.

Great lawyer.

Acquiring a lawyer for anything is never an easy task. I was lucky to find and work with Jonathan Cooper at KnoxDefense. Mr. Cooper is a knowledgeable counselor, respected attorney in the community and a class act. I felt more at ease with my situation once we started working together. If you need a lawyer in his field of expertise, he is highly recommended - 5 stars!!

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.
