Couple of years ago, I went through a challenging divorce and had the opportunity to work with Carmiece T. Graves. From the initial consultation, I felt confident that I had made the right choice.
Carmiece T. Graves demonstrated exceptional knowledge and understanding of family law, offering clear and concise advice throughout the process. They were incredibly supportive, providing not only legal expertise but also showing empathy and patience as I navigated through this difficult time.
Communication was outstanding. She was always available to answer questions, whether it was through email or phone calls, ensuring I was informed every step of the way. The legal strategy she implemented was effective, keeping my best interests at heart.
I would highly recommend Carmiece T. Graves to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled divorce lawyer. They made a challenging time much more manageable, and I couldn't be more appreciative.

I am a retired United States Postal Service employee. I was injured on the job that involved a third party of a contracted leased trucking company. I was unable to return to work due to the injuries I had sustained and retired on disability a year later. The lawyer I first consulted was injured and eventually turned my case over to Jackson Associates Law Firm and Ms Tiffany N. Sims took over my case. She gathered all supporting documents together from all the doctors I had seen, there recommendations for treatments, rehab and medications. In my accidental case as an postal employee my injuries were caused by negligents of the driver hired by a trucking company that's licensed, bonded and has a contract with the United States Postal Service for distribution/delivery of mail. Ms. Sims experience with work related lawsuit immediately contacted me for consultation and within less than a year of taking on my case an agreement was settled with very good closing results. I was very satisfied. She kept me updated with phone calls as well as emails on everything that was happening and all she was doing. Ms Sims experience, dedication and time she put into my case was grateful, she even consulted with an outside medical specialists in the field of injuries I sustained for their recommendation and advice thinking ahead towards settlement. Ms. Sims I appreciate all your efforts you put into settling my case and I would greatly recommend your service out to others seeking a great lawyer. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your dedication and time! Great Job!!!

Horrible law firm and horrible experience. FYI ERIK TYRONE IS NOT LICENSED TO PRACTICE IN MD OR DC which I found out later down the line. He lost his license to practice months before taking on my case and never once mentioned this. Mr Tyrone’s law office had my cases for OVER 500 days without even attempting to file any motions in court. He took on my case without informing me that my statue of limitation had already been exceeded. HE FORGED my signature on legal documents and then tried to drop me as a client which I did not agree to. 6 months previous to forging my signature on legal documents and turning them into DC Superior Courts he claimed the lawyer he had assigned to my case stopped working for the firm. I was never once told this when I called for updates, just given a bunch of lies. Tara will answer and tell you Erik is on his way into the office no matter what time of day it is. Whoever Sandra is is just as clueless and helpless as the rest of the staff. He uses his personal problems as excuses for lack of communication DURING BUSINESS HOURS. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FIRM!!!!!!!!!!!!! His license should be revoked permanently. Negligent is an understatement. The whole office needs to be shut down!!!!!! Unprofessional janky law firm

Efficient, Responsive, and Cost Effective! These are 3 words I’d use to describe the Tyrone Law Group. Our family moved through the probate process fairly easy and we were also able to sell an out of state property during this process. We highly recommend this group!

Jibril was fantastic to look at while we were in court for my divorce. The tone of his voice and his commanding stature showed my ex that we meant business, while making me squirm in my seat. I can't watch Perry Mason without having to excuse myself to go to the bathroom because I'm thinking about Jibril. Thank you for a "job" well done!

It’s been four months after my case, which didn’t go well, and this firm has refused to return my calls, I called to request documents from my case to be readdressed for another appeal. Some Spanish lady keeps telling me that Chika will call and call and call, all to no avail.

I was referred to Bradley in a pinch when another attorney dropped the ball on preparing my prenup. With less than a month remaining before my fiance and I were to get married, Bradley was efficient, thorough, detail-oriented and responsive. I am so appreciative for how he handled my case and would recommend him to anyone! 5/5 stars.

Over the years I have worked with Russ Shipley and Arthur Horne on a variety of real estate and zoning matters. Each of these projects were completed with successful results. I've recently worked with Dennis Whitley, Brad Farrar and Paul Jackson on some real estate, family planning and financial matters. Here too, I found the attorneys and staff at the firm to be supportive and competent as they worked diligently on my behalf. I definitely made the right choice years ago in trusting Shipley & Horne, P.A. with my legal needs.
While I have watched the once two-partner firm grow over the years, its fundamental practice of providing comprehensive legal services at reasonable rates has not changed. Shipley & Horne. P.A. is the firm I call when I need a lawyer.

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.
