I found Attorney Davis on the internet from our initial meeting I knew she was going to provide excellent service. Mrs. Davis is a strong, bold and professional attorney who is not afraid to speak her mind no matter the circumstances. She is really a backbone for people who are experiencing deep mental illnesses, like depression. She is like the medication for the mentally ill. I thank God for her everyday.

Kelly Davis is needle in a haystack when it comes to attorneys. Smart, tough, collaborative, creative problem solver, detail oriented, caring and responsive are all words that describe Kelly Davis. She recently saved my LLC from losing up to 50K on a project when we almost most hired a General Contractor that was ripping off his clients. Additionally, she helped me navigate through a very complex and tumultuous LL/Tenant issue, in which the Landlord was trying to take advantage of us being new to the industry. She is a true professional and an answer to prayer.

Ms. Sepulveda was professional and courteous. I was very nervous about hiring a lawyer but she did such a great job on my case and made a bad situation seem tolerable. I will recommend her to anyone who needs a smart, tough, and strong advocate.

Terrible communication skills. He takes weeks to respond back, well that’s if he responds. If you like to have a peace of mind this is not the lawyer for you.

I would not recommend Bob as he started out great at first, but has trouble finishing his job. We hired him and paid him in full due to a lawsuit, then we just can't get a hold of him as he would never respond to our calls, emails or text messages. Until finally he responded and apologized and finished the job and even offered some free service. Three months later he still did not provide the free service that he promised and again cannot be reached. It is very frustrating for us and unprofessional on his part.

I reached out to Roberto to see if he would take my case. He agreed he would and would send over a contract. I waited for over two weeks to get said contract. I called and emailed multiple times. I even asked if he doesn't have the time, just communicate that so I can find another attorney. Nothing. Dead silence. I would not recommend working with him. If this is the level of communication he provides before starting a case, image how it is during a case. No thank you.

I hired this office to handle my father's probate. It's been over a year and I still have no results. I made a partial payment when we began process and it didn(t get logged to my account. Thank goodness I had requested my receipt so I could prove later I had made a payment. I have only had a phone consultation with Ms. Stokes. At no time have I had any other contact with her. After a few months of waiting, I called and asked the receptionist to have someone contact me if they heard any news about my probate. I was told in a sarcastic tone that, " yes, we're good that way." Yet still months went by and not one call. So maybe they aren't that good in that way, hmm? Time marched on, but, still, I didn't call because I felt like I was bothering them. Finally, almost a year later, I called again to check status and was told the court made some kind of error in the case number and it would be done in a week. That was 2mos ago. Still no call from them for updates. I finally went in and paid off my bill thinking that would get them going. The receptionnist called someone about my case status and I was told that the judge had said they were going to call Ms. Stokes regarding my case and Ms. Stokes found that odd. But, she (Ms. Stokes) was on vacation for the next few days. Crickets. Weeks later still no call. I will say that didn't get a bill until almost a year went by and the bill WAS very reasonable compared to other attorneys. And, they didn't pester me to pay immediately which was nice. And, Ms, Stokes seemed very nice during our phone consult. But, the lack of communication from this company and lack of results in a long period of time makes them a poor choice for doing business. Sitting on my dad's property and paying his bills for over a year has been a real harfship for me. My neighbor recommended her and loves her. Wish my experience with her office was better. I think them just COMMUNICATING with me would have made a huge difference in my experience even if the process had been as long.

Billable hours did seem to be, in my opinion (and that of the previous reviewer), more important to Mr. Price than anything else. Witnesses were never contacted or used. Evidence was never looked at or used. Phone calls and emails were not returned. Things that needed to be filed with the court were not filed when he said they would be (In several cases, months passed). He didn't seem to be prepared for hearings. He didn't even seem to remember what the case was about and who everyone was. In short, we were unimportant to Mr. Price and it showed. Trustworthy: No, not when he told us one thing and did another. Responsive: No, not even close. Knowledgeable: About our case? No. We constantly had to remind him of the facts of the case. Kept me informed: I want to laugh at this but I'll just say no. To sum up, researching a lawyer before committing would have saved us money, property, and heartache. A mistake we won't ever make again.

Mr. Price, in my opinion, has primarily one objective, billable hours. In my case, he seldom returned my phone calls (never in a timely manner). He waited until the "eleventh hour to prepare for trial. He attempted to contact witnesses the day before trial. His representation was very poor. His firm billed my credit card $1,600 without my authorization which I learned after the fact. My advice to consumers--research your attorney and the law firm prior to hire...Had I accessed this page prior to selecting Mr. Price for my case, I could have saved my self heartache and headache. Mr. Price's over-all attitude towards my case was one of indifference. An attoney is an investment and I made an exceedingly poor one!

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.
