Hired this lawyer for a child support case. He charged me $5000 cash. Took the money and couldn’t go to court because there was a conflict of interests with the mother of the child that I was going to court for. Initially I told him that my baby’s mom hired his office before and he proceeded to tell me that there will be no problem. Never gave me my money back or went to court for me. Just took my money and I would love my $5000 returned. My name is Gordon Brown

Attorney Morse was fantastic! He assisted me in my child custody/ child support case. He is very knowledgeable and tells you straight answers. Whenever I had any questions, he was very responsive and helped me to understand the law. Attorney Morse fought for me and my son every step of the way and we did not have to go to trial!!

Going through a divorce with children involved is so hard. Mr. Morse and his paralegal Kristy, couldn’t have been more supportive and professional. They both walked me through every step of the way while reassuring me it would all be okay. Mr. Morse is a very no nonsense lawyer which is EXACTLY who you’d want representing you. He’s very professional, very respectful and extremely efficient in responding to any questions you may have at any time. Mr. Morse has been representing clients for a long time. It’s very apparent how dedicated he is to his clients and how important it is to deliver the very best outcome for your family. I couldn’t have asked for better representation than what I received. I’m thankful and very grateful to Mr. Morse and his paralegal Kristy. They made a very sad situation much easier to navigate!

Rick was exactly the attorney I needed when I was filing for bankruptcy. He never judged me and he fought for me when I was overwhelmed and didn’t know what to do. I highly recommend Rick to anyone in need of legal services.

Mr. Paul Thompson and his team blew my mind with the amount of time they spent on my case over the course of 3 years. I was truly blessed to have been represented by this group of honest phenomenal people. Mr. Thompson and his team were fair to not only myself but the opposing side. Unlike many other name brand firms were you are issued to random lawyers working under a big time name, Mr. Thompson himself represented me. As a defendant who had admitted being at fault, I just wanted both parties to receive a fair and just outcome. Mr. Thompson with a case that went to trial in front of a jury provided services that led to a just outcome. Thank you Mr. Thompson for proving the American system we believe in works!

Tyler was (is) my attorney for my divorce and while other attorneys told me what they could get me and how they would make sure my wife got nothing, Tyler asked me what was best for my children and focused on the things that were important to me, and not just winning each point because it would look better for him. It wasn't about trying to pad his hours to make money for his firm but rather what it was going to take to make sure my ex and I could remain on a level ground so that we could co-parent our children without animosity. His goal was helping me through this horrible time in my life. He was my counselor when I needed someone to talk to, my attorney when I needed clarity on legal issues, but most of all my friend because he cared about me and my family not his ego and winning the case at all costs.

After consulting with another attorney that I have known for over 15 years, we hired Mr. Steffens to represent us in a real estate dispute in June 2020. Issue was resolved in August 2020. He communicated with me directly, multiple times per week. When I had questions, he always got back to me the same day. We would use Mr. Steffen's services again.

From the moment I reached out to Alex I felt the edge come off from a serious legal situation I had never experienced before. Alex kept me informed on all steps, gave me sound advice, made me feel comfortable, and completed what needed to be done in the best way possible. Alex had knowledge of the company that I was involved in and that helped even more I truly believe. I hope to never need his services again, but if I do, I'll be calling him immediately. When I first was looking for a lawyer for this situation, reading all the reviews and how detailed his website was is what helped me the most. I hope this helps someone else.

The Journey of a 1000 miles begins with 1 step. A step I wouldn't have taken any other way and with any other law firm. Atty Ayesha I consulted with on my case she was able to address and reasurre me on all my questions and concerns. Atty Ayesha is very professional and attentive during intake and her knowledge surpassed many attorneys I had already had consultation with. The passion I saw during the intake I knew she would do justice to my case and represent me well as we embarked on my immigration journey....a journey I can never forget. We navigated every aspect of this journey with her keeping me informed with up to date information regarding my case and timely response to USCIS always. I can call Atty Ayesha the Vawa Boss!! Because she nailed my case and I was approved in 1 year and 4 months later I am LPR ! With Atty Ayesha's leadership her team is excellent, trustworthy, knowledgeable experts in their immigration craft and in a league of their own! They are the Go-2-lawfirm ! Look no further! Top notch Law Firm!

I do not recommend this attorney. Her office is virtual which I guess is ok, but it appears that nobody answers the phone number for her law firm and it’s just a computer. Communication was not great, sometimes I’d get a brief email. Was always waiting for a returned phone call, calls never returned not even once. She just didn’t seem to care about anything at all. Sadly, I cannot recommend her.

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.
