Richard is the kindest, most sincere attorney I have ever came across in life anywhere in the world. He settled our high problematic Immigration problem with care and concern. He went over and beyond all the contractual agreements we had to ensure our success was concluded.
He started in Washington State, moved to Nevada, and never stopped continuing just like we sat together in a room but separated by states, and even when I didn't get it or was way behind, he picked up my slack to keep the case in-front of the government and active by doing a lot of my work.
Richard is truly the best, and working like this in this tough world, I am sure the clients will line up to have a genuine person representing them.

We had the priviledge of having Melissa represent our company in a case and we were so impressed at her honesty and integrity in every situation and dealing. She has the ability to maintain consistency when in trial and does not waiver. She relates to a jury in a positive manner and communicates clearly. She is reliable and dependable, meeting all her court dates and timeframes. Melissa is professional and articulate while maintaining respect to all those she dealt with and we would highly recommend her.
Melissa stands out in a sea of attorneys because her good character allows her to stand out head and shoulders above her competition. You would be wise to consult with Melissa.

Martin worked on my social security case with Social Security Lawyers of Nevada. He is a smart and compassionate person, who worked very hard on my case that had previously been denied with a different firm.
He researched my complex illness and explained how it affected me to the judge in his hearing brief. He also spent a lot of time preparing me for the hearing. Questions were always answered quickly by phone or email.
I would not hestitation to recommend a Martin, Peter and Social Security Lawyers of Nevada to handle a social security disability or medical malpractice case.

Kevin Diamond is the most honest and professional attorney I have had the pleasure to work with. A friend of mine was injured at my house resulting in his becoming a parapalegic. My insurance company refused to pay the policy limits (1 million) and I was facing a probable verdict of at least 5 times that amount at trial. I retained Kevin to protect my interest against my insurance company. I am a JD and MBA who has worked extensively in litigation support. He did an amazingly thorough and extremely professional job. The insurance company eventually settled the claim but I felt comfortable that we had established a great bad faith claim if they went to trial and there was a verdict over the policy limits. Kevin is always responsive and kept me informed every step of the way.
His bill ran somewhat higher than the original estimate and he has been kind enough to let me make monthly payments.
I have recommended him to others.

The law is complicated, diverse, and subjective. This is why I hired a lawyer because I needed help. What I was not expecting is brutal honesty on our first meeting. Mr. Thornton did the research, explained my options, and gave his honest, educated opinion which saved me thousands of dollars and at least a year of my time. He takes the time to explain verbiage that I am completely unknowledgeable of, in an industry that I am just learning. He explains the timeline and updates me along the way, a service that I did not even expect. Because of his honesty and integrity, I trust him in my affairs and will continue to support his practice for years to come. I could have been the easiest mark and would have paid whatever was laid in front of me because of my novice of the industry but he chose to be forthcoming and I will continue to trust Mr. Thorntorn with my prized intellectual property.

I obtained Mr Patterson Esq through a referral from a close business associate in 2013. My case involved ownership of property being disputed by the family of a deceased relative. Mr Patterson scheduled a consultation to hear what the situation was first. After he heard the information he actively assisted with getting the proper documentation to assist in retaining his services to proceed with representation in the unfortunate matter. He displayed the most professional and personal services that I have ever experienced in a moment of distress. He made sure I understood the law as it applied to my case and was in lockstep with the judges interpretation on the facts as well. He made all attempts to resolve without going before a judge first, but when the only option was court, he came prepared and attentive to all aspects of everyone involved. I seriously can't that Mr. Patterson enough for what he did for me. It meant the world to me to triumphantly persevere with the help of his extensive knowledge and ginger care. He is definitely worth any accolades he receives.

Our HOA contracted with Charles Fenton to pursue a claim with the developer of our community. The claim is still ongoing, however, it is clear that we made the correct decision in contracting with this attorney. I think that we would have in a disastrous situation had we not contract with him because many construction defects were uncovered in the course of pursuing our claim. We receive updates from him or his representatives at our board meeting, He also makes himself available if any questions arise. Could not be more pleased with his services and I highly recommend him.
Sincerely,
Margaret Cordova

I barely had to disclose the facts of my case. He knew! He told me. He is so well versed in the HOA foreclosure and sale matters being litigated in the courts today that the answers to my questions are at his fingertips. He was able to respond clearly and concisely and quickly without time wasting my precious hourly fee monies on redundancy or confusion. This is his biz, he does it 24/7. He gave me the foundation on which to build my case even though he represents HOA's, and I'm a homeowner. He was so HUMAN! Michael gave me the names of two other attorneys to consult with, each of whom have helped me also. He even offered to answer further questions should I have any. You were 100% right with all the scenarios you offered up. Now I can choose which line of defense I want to present. Thanks toooo much Mr. McKelleb.

I welcomed Jennifer into the hornet's nest that I had created with my super hero like ability to transform everyday business into troublesome legal quandaries. This was the culmination of a multiparty transaction that had lasted over eight months. It was clear that mistakes had been made and that involving Jennifer earlier in the process would have both saved on cost, while also nettig myself more money with far less risk in a more timely matter. There was no second-guessing past decisions, nor was there any pressure to involve her in future dealings once it was understood that I had identified my errors. We discussed how to prevent similar situations from happening in the future. Unquestionably, the importance of her involvement was made clear through my bottom line.
Jennifer reviewed the facts surrounding my issue and then took over and diligently worked toward accomplishing our goal. My options were presented to me without bias and despite my best option resulting in less billable hours, the resolution was clear. Dealing with an absolute professional with expert knowledge and experience is very refreshing. I have witnessed attornies with lower standards direct their clients toward selfserving poor decisions in order to line their own pockets.
I always felt that Jennifer had my best interest in mind. Looking back, she realized at one point that I may be leaning toward a far riskier emotional decision that may have ultimately cost me money. Clearer heads prevailed after I was urged to sleep on the matter. Knowing how poorly things could have played out I’m ecstatic about having her on my side and look forward to working with her in the future.

We worked with Ms. Pitz while we were at the ground floor of setting up our business. She was thorough and kind, setting up our contracts that we would continue to use for many years to come. We felt that she went out of her way to explain things in a way that made the legal vocabulary less intimidating and we were left with a strong understanding of our official documents.

I own a small family business with my husband and father. During litigation Prescott was very detailed and patient when explaining the process and legal vocabulary to us. He and the Partners were very generous to us knowing that we were a small business and didn't have the funds of a large business. Their professionalism and willingness to treat us like real people not just a case number was refreshing. It was nice to know we had a lawyer who actually cared on our side. We were able to settle without having to go into a full court battle thanks to Prescott's expertise and diligence. The amount of time and personal dedication we received from Prescott is unprecedented. I highly recommend Prescott and his firm.

We were referred to, and hired Erika Turner in September 2015. From the very start Erika was the epitome of professionalism. She got to work right away and began to educate herself about our case. Erika was able to facilitate obtaining a TRO on a holiday weekend to protect our property when it was threatened. She got to work right away and did not let up until the job was done. Erika kept the plaintiffs informed with the ongoing course of action. She filed detailed and comprehensive motions on our behalf. Erika kept the same pace throughout our lawsuit. She didn't miss a thing. Every single detail was well documented and supported by legal precedents. Erika knows the law! You pay for what you get. Erika is not a cheap lawyer but why would anyone go "cheap" when you are dealing with the laws of the land. What you need is the best that money can by, and that is Erika Pike Turner.
Thank you again Erika. You are an outstanding representative of your profession. When we are in need of a lawyer again we will not hesitate to ask to represent us.

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.
