I finally got in contact with him in 2023 and was supposed to have my divorce finalized by January 2024. Its almost October 2024 and he is MIA again with no answer to calls, messages or emails.

Thad Minaldi is a very fine lawyer. Having known him and his family for many years, I was not surprised to see how he handles legal matters in a personal and professional way. My family lost our father and our mother and was in need of a lawyer to handle the successions. Thad managed this process working with me and five siblings in a respectful and expeditious manner. He was easy to contact, prompt in his answers to our questions, and diplomatic working with six different personalities. His legal knowledge is impressive. He makes good and honest judgments and helped all six of us come to a consensus on many matters of the succession.
I would without hesitation recommend Thad as an honest, sincere, and hard-working lawyer.

Mr. Thad Minaldi was referred to me by another excellent and trusted attorney from another state. This attorney knew of Mr. Minaldi’s stellar work and reputation. I remain grateful for this referral. In my 40-year career I have consulted numerous attorneys for personal and professional reasons. Mr. Minaldi ranks among the best. While I was working from another state Mr. Minaldi and I communicated primarily via email and occasional phone calls. This worked extremely well. Mr. Minaldi was a clear and prompt communicator. I appreciated his clear and detailed invoices. His fees were fair. Additionally, he was simply a pleasant gentleman to work with. He expertly guided me through a multiyear challenging real estate situation. While this may seem trivial to some, his assisting me to differentiate between business decisions and legal decisions was most beneficial. While I was Mr. Minaldi’s client, those to whom I had fiduciary responsibilities were extremely grateful for his work with me. Mr. Minaldi has my highest recommendation.

Cooper Fournet was referred to me by a friend. I have never used a lawyer before, so I quite nervous about it. When I initially contacted him, he came off as professional, polite, and caring. He listened to all of questions and concerns and then gave me multiple options of what we could do. Throughout the process, Mr. Fournet kept me informed as the case progressed. I felt comfortable with him and had confidence that he would do the right thing. At the end of it all, I was pleasantly surprised with how smooth the process was. I will definitely consult him for all future legal issues that I have in the future.

I was referred to Loftin & Leblanc law firm by a friend. I was actually referred to another attorney than the one that is representing my family’s case. Cody Vidrine has been so diligent and has invested a lot of time into the lawsuit that I filed on behalf of my children and myself. I would recommend this law firm to anyone. Personally, I would highly recommend Cody Vidrine to a friend or family member because he has been such a great attorney. My children and I were in a multi-vehicle accident on the 210 Bridge in Lake Charles in March 2021. Anyway, we are still in the process of an active/ongoing lawsuit process against the at fault drivers. It’s been a long 3 years so far. In March 2025, it will be 4 years since the automobile accident and the process has been complicated. My attorney has been very thorough with explaining the process, remaining in contact with me, informative about the case, aggressively and diligently representing my family. After my accident, I was able to get into a nice rental car the same day of my first visit with Mr. Vidrine. Due to having to go to Chiropractic care 3x a week, I ended up losing my job because they would not work with the physical therapy schedule. Within only a few days, I was awarded two of my missed paychecks from me prior job. The Loftin & Leblanc law firm is a very great practice. Their attorneys are very knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate, caring, aggressive and kind to their clients. If you need representation from a highly qualified and competent attorney, I would suggest Cody Vidrine or any of the other attorneys there. My personal experience with this attorney has been great. Although the at fault drivers have not been compliant with their response at all; Mr. Vidrine is ensuring that they will respond to our demands for the settlement. If I could give this google review a 10/10, I would. If you have been in an automobile accident, Cody is the one to call. If you need someone who will diligently and aggressively fight for you; he is the one to call. He has been great and I would retain him again for any other legal matters.

The lawyer told me to negotiate with the contractor and also paying extra to finish the job
He didn’t do the right job
I am the owner of BUDATAN ASIAN CUISINE, and I am writing to address serious concerns regarding the progress of our restaurant project.
For the past two years, we have faced numerous challenges due to the unprofessionalism of our contractor, （Edwin Cruz Construction）. We placed all our hopes and trust in this company, but unfortunately, they have repeatedly broken promises, misused project funds for unrelated work, and caused severe financial shortages. We believe this behavior may constitute fraud.
Despite filing a complaint with the licensing board, we have not received any useful assistance. After paying the full amount based on the initial estimate, the contractor continued to demand more money, blaming underestimations likely caused by his lack of professionalism.
In April 2024, we hired an attorney and sent a demand letter to Edvin Cruz. After negotiations, we paid additional funds, and Edvin promised to complete everything within a month. However, since receiving the extra money, there has been no significant progress, and the project remains delayed through September.
In total, this project has now been delayed for over two years.

I hired Scott to handle my divorce and property settlement, and I’m very pleased with him. He’s knowledgeable, calm under pressure, and stays on top of everything without needing constant follow-up like some other lawyers. While I hope I never go through another divorce, if I do, I’d choose him again.
For criminal attorneys, I’d recommend Michael Antoon over anyone else. He did an outstanding job and helped me more than I can express.

After calling to dozens of law firms asking if someone could help me with a case, I called Cox Law firm asking if they could help, before I finished the story, the secretary asked me to wait so she could find me an attorney who could better guide me. That’s when she put Attorney name Paul on the phone. He listened to me. He asked if we had a lawyer and even when I said yes, he continued listening and asking questions. He asked me to send him an email with info he needed to assess the case. I did and he called me shortly after telling me the next steps I needed to take to pursue justice. Paul acted like no other lawyer in Lake Charles did. He listened even when he knew he couldn’t take the case and he still read a 12 page report and called me back to guide me. I will forever be thankful for such a selfless act of empathy. Thank you Paul.

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.
