There was not once I waited over 24 hours for replies to my questions. She is sharp and knows the drill. She was great at guiding me through the process and patient with my questions. I won my appeal because she knows exactly what she is doing.

I found Bill Fix through an attorney referral service in the hope that I could locate a decent attorney in my area. I was wrong. I hired him to do my parents estate and probate their Will. After nothing seemed to be happening, I tried to contact him, but he never returned my calls, texts or emails. He has my parents original Will so I don't even know what to do. I have had to pay the bills on the estate and it's slowing killing me financially. I also cannot cash the life insurance check without an estate account. He prepared all the necessary paperwork but never filed with the Probate office. Apparently, he stole my money and ran.

Like others I find here, he took my money and ran. Will not return calls. I’m planning to file a complaint about him with the local Bar association. ….. And I did just that. The bar association directed me to the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility. They launched an investigation and sometime later Bill got in touch with me and wanted to complete the case. Only lost five months worth of time. Nothing like the threat of losing your license to get a lawyer moving.

Ms. Clark made us so comfortable right from the beginning. She listened to us, answered every question we had & put us at ease immediately. She was very knowledgeable, direct & did exactly as she stated to us. We felt as if she truly had our back & it was such a huge relief! If we ever need a lawyer again, she'll be the 1st one we call on for assistance. Thank you Ms. Clark!

Helped with divorce and most importantly child custody with a parent trying to use the children as pawns. She fights for what's best for the children; not what the parents want. Ms. Barbara Clark is awesome

If you can't get Jo Ann, Blair is your next pick. Even though she couldn't figure it out she was also in the wrong jurisdiction. Blair was the opposing counsel. She also had the same tendencies where they don't care to take dads away who haven't done nearly as bad as other dads. This firm is NOT for dads. Though they are bulldogs. You may be able to get them to fight for you. Now if you're a woman, you'll get what you want in court with this firm. Blair gets 2 stars because Jo Ann got 3. It's half personal and professional.

Blair was fantastic. She made our dreams come true. She's kind, down to earth but stern and GETS IT DONE. I've been through a couple other lawyers prior and she blew them out of the water. Highly recommend.

We hired Ken recently. We found him to be dishonest. He charged us significantly more than he told us he would, waited until the last minute to give us his bill (after we repeatedly asked him for it with no response), and refused to compete a task that all other lawyers perform.
I’m sure Ken is a good guy but on this occasion it felt that he was taking advantage of us so it’s only fair that you know.
I’d like to think that he has learnt his lesson that people are more important than money.

I hired Jim to represent me and my family after my home was destroyed by a mudslide due to negligent grading that failed done by my neighbor.. It has been 3.5 years and I have gotten every run around and excuse you can imagine from, being sick, to dad dying, to car accident, to being mugged, to being sick, to power being off at his office, to being on vacation, to having Covid, to being have a dental procedure done, to being in the hospital, and I am sure I am forgetting more. This Fraud took 10k from me that was money raised by a go fund me after my home was destroyed and my family almost killed and has done NOTHING for me in 3.5 years. I went to the courthouse and pulled my file to find that the judge had dismissed my case because of REPEATED failures to respond to the requests to the defendants and making categorically outrageous requests of the court. I am now beginning to work with the Bar to go after Jim Scott. and I recommend you ALL STAY AWAY from this charlatan !!!

I can't thank Jim enough. I had a little too much to drink one night and made a mistake. I ended up getting pulled over and blew a 0.09 and was charged with a DUI. Jim was able to have my DUI dismissed. I did end up doing my fair share of community service, but I was more than happy to do.

Couldn’t get a hold of him. Wouldn’t call back for weeks and a few times over a month. Lied about what was being done. Said he had sent out certified letters to defendants and said he had claims for me to review and he never filed any claims. Quit contacting me completely and was paid for services. Couldn’t imagine a worse attorney.

Mr. Leveille has not responded promptly to emails. It is often takes weeks to get a response. He does not currently have the resources needed to move forward with our case.

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.
