Frank Lannom, with the assistance of Tyler Stanfield, did an amazing job helping one of our relatives obtain the best outcome imaginable through their conviction and sentencing. Frank and Tyler's expertise and experience streamlined and expedited our great outcome. We would highly recommend them if you need an excellent attorney.

Mr Cherry was amazing from the beginning until the close of my case. He not only handled my case in a professional manner, he helped to relieve my stress alone the way. He was very upfront when I had concerns of my charges and the outcome they could bring. His team of investigators helped to find flaws in my arrest and got my charges greatly reduced. If you are looking for professionalism at its finest look no further. My family and I truly thank you for not only your teams expertise, but also your compassion at every turn. Highly recommend!

Aaron Rochelle was assigned to my son by the judge for and underage consumption charge. He did not return any phone calls leading up to the court hearing. My son and his mother both left messages to let him know that my son was in the hospital and would need a continuation. He did not return their calls nor asked the judge for the continuation which resulted in a warrant being served for non appearance and my son being booked into jail. The bail cost $2500 and was totally avoidable if Aaron Rochelle simply cared enough to do his job. His clients may not be rich but they are people.

First of all, I was not able to get in touch with him at all. I had to schedule a phone call a month and a half out and when that phone called rolled around it was maybe 5 minutes and that was it. No other contact before my court date. I had no way of getting a hold of him to ask questions. And on the day of my court date apparently there had been some issues with what he said he was going to submit to the court but did he contact me to let me know that? No so I was blindsided I had no time to think about my options, and when I seem flustered at the courthouse he told me I needed to hurry up and decide and stared me down and then when I told him I didn't really understand what my options were that he had just spent all of three and a half minutes explaining, he rolled his eyes and huffed at me. Then after I sort of kind of made a decision he got up and stormed into the courtroom and started filling out paperwork, shoved a piece of paper in front of me to sign and then a minute later I was in front of the judge and I literally had to look at him when the judge was asking me how I was answering the questions cause I didn't know what to say. More eye rolls. More huffing. I'm devastated because now I know that had I looked into it further and had actual representation I could have gotten out of the charge but instead I'm stuck with a year of probation and a charge on my record that's going to severely impact my future employment options in my career field of 20 years. Like the heading says he's absolutely worthless. He should be disbarred. Don't waste your time.

I called to set up a appointment 2 MONTHS before my court date. Which would have been 1 week and 2 days after he was appointed to me by the judge. The judge said to call a week from the day he was appointed to set up a appointment. But apparently those 2 days I waited (holiday) made it to the point that he got so busy with other clients that he couldn’t meet with me to discuss my case. I have not talked to him one time since he was appointed I have left over 30 messages begging him to give me 2 minutes of his time. Begging him to please call me because I’m going insane about this court case. Begging him to please just call me back. But I guess that’s too much. I don’t believe he should have been paid for my case even if he does show up to court. I haven’t talked to him I don’t even know what he looks like and at this point I have court in the morning at 9 and I haven’t slept in 3 days. I can’t remember the last time I ate anything . I haven’t showered in days. I haven’t been able to work because I am so depressed and scared that I’m almost feeling like the better option will be to skip court and run. This “man” is the real scum of the world and after this is over I’m about to sue the crap out of him because in the contract I received he is required to talk to me atleast once before my court date .

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.
