Kayla guided me through the estate process for one of my parents. I was unfamiliar with estate laws in Tennessee because I live out of state and she navigated me through the entire process. I highly recommend Kayla as an attorney.

We needed to get our will and trust updated and we couldn’t have picked a better place to have it done. From the first phone call we felt welcomed and important. Both Angel and Janice kept us updated and got everything done quickly and explained every step along the way. Our old trust had a number of errors and we feel so fortunate to have found Kane & Crowell. Highly recommend!

I am delighted to recommend the services of Angel Kane, who handled my uncontested divorce. Her sound advice, responsiveness, and patience was most reassuring during this difficult time. My own pace in coming to final decisions was painfully slow, but I never felt rushed to move quicker than I felt comfortable. As soon as I was ready to move forward, everything was handled efficently and quickly. Ms. Kane came highly recommended, so I was certain if we had not been able to settle this out of court she would have fought hard to achieve the best outcome possible for me. Knowing I had her in my corner gave me strength and confidence throughout the process.

Frank represented me years ago on a DUI case that I felt was not justified. I asked around who the best attorney was for this matter and after multiple recommendations, I chose Lannom & Williams. Not only was Frank well known and had great relationships with the Wilson County court system, he ended up getting all my charges dropped once the officer took the stand. Frank recently took an almost 30 minute phone call to discuss a civil matter with me even though those are not cases that he handles. He did this at no charge just because I was a client of his years ago. He cares about his clients, he's well respected in the Wilson County court system and is an incredibly calculated and knowledgeable attorney. There is no other choice as far as I'm concerned.

We worked with Melanie Bean, Julie Robinson, and Michelle Steed for about 3 years and they were great to work with. They helped us through a very difficult custody situation that grew worse throughout the entire time. They are a great team and truly care about their clients. We would reccomend them to anyone who is in need and could not thank them enough for the time and dedication they provided our family.

Didn't impress me at all with falling asleep in court and it felt like he was badgering me to take a deal and felt very uncomfortable with him in contact with a friend of the plaintiffs which he knew that wasn't named in the case I wouldn't recommend him

Hagar and Phillips law office has represented me over and above my expectations!!! They have done such a great job at exposing the truth after false accusations were made against me! They are expedient in their response time. They don't over bill and keep detailed itemized records of your billing. You know exactly what you are paying for. They are very knowledgeable and a great crew to put your trust and faith in doing a great job for you. David Brust has been excellent through my whole process. The whole process has been exhausting! I can't imagine where I would be if I didn't retain Hagar and Phillips. Truly grateful and a blessing 🙌🏾

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:
-
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.
