We hired Matt do work on our taxes for the past few years. An issue came up this past year that he assisted with getting resolved from the IRS. The issue was minor but inconvenient and simply annoying. Matt contacted and provided all the copies needed multiple times to the IRS. His professionalism and promptness was extremely appreciated. He would be the first person I would recommend. Thanks Matt!

Matt has provided invaluable legal services for my real estate business. First, he helped me win a lawsuit against a former tenant for damages, and then he successfully paved the way for garnishment of wages. In another case, he helped me to sue a former tenant for extensive damages and to reach a fair settlement out of court. More recently, he prepared the documents for my LLC, including an operating agreement. Matt does a great job of communicating with his clients, other attorneys and judges. His work is timely and professional, and his fees are reasonable.

I found out more in 10 minutes here than I was able to establish online and by chat with government agencies over the course of a couple of days. Mr. Swisher gave me what he qualified as a broad overview but it actually cleared up all my questions. Thanks again.

I simply called seeking information and advice regarding probate questions and concerns. Mr. Swisher called me back the same day, between his own meetings, and spent a significant amount of time with me explaining the entire process in great detail. He was empathetic to my situation, answered every question in clear and concise detail, and even offered information pertaining to my situation that I had not yet thought to ask questions about. I would 100% be hiring him as my attorney if it were applicable (given geography and other aspects I will sadly need a different attorney). Thank you very much for your time and assistance Mr. Swisher!

Chase traveled nearly 200 miles round trip to be co-counsel to the attorney that I hired at no additional charge. He was brilliant in using collateral estoppel in my family law case when my son's abusive father tried to use the court to gain access to private medical information that had previously been litigated. Needless to say, the opposing party eventually dropped their motion to modify when they realized they couldn't win. In all, I am grateful to Chase and Michelle Higinbotham for their kindness, generosity, and fierce advocacy in protecting my son.

Second, she provided excellent guidance to me, as trustee, which made my job a lot easier. Third, her rates were reasonable. And finally, she was very responsive.

When I was in an accident in May of 22, I saw right away that the insurance company of the at fault member was not going to be easy to work with. I had never hired a lawyer before and had no idea where to start. Horn law had great reviews on here, which led me to their office. They took great care of me throughout my recovery process and kept on top of everything until my settlement was complete 9 months later. Nina is who I dealt with the most, she was great at walking me through every step of the process. Highly recommend!

Kristen Buzzelli did a fantastic job representing me through a very difficult, emotional divorce with two children involved. It went to trial due to mediation being unsuccessful (only 5% of divorces go to trial). I originally selected Kristen based on her past social work and current family law experience. I found her to be a great listener, empathetic, supportive, patient, understanding, honest and real even when it was hard to hear as the client. Kristen is a very ambitious lawyer determined to represent her clients to the fullest of her abilities to get the best outcome possible. For any legal needs I have in the future, I will definitely hire Kristen Buzzelli!

Second time I've used Kristen's services. First time was years ago when she worked for a big law firm. Second time, my case was finished this year. I'm 100% satisfied with all aspects of her own law firm: Amazing staff, professional, family feel, straightforward, honest, got me the best results I could get quickly, knowledgeable, prompt to get answers or get back to me, and kid first focus. The kid first focus is the way it should be! :) Her being honest, straightforward, and knowledgeable made things very smooth and quick. Only possible negative is the retainer fee is higher than some. I'd still 100% recommend someone retaining her services.

After I hired Kirby it was one excuse after another. 2.5 years for a simple modification and he couldn’t handle that. He canceled meetings after I took day off work and drove 200 miles because his tummy hurt, very hard to reach, little to no follow up and zero gumption. All he did was take my money. Had to fire him because he was completely incompetent.

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?

How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:

  • 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.
