Kevin was terrific to work with..clearly explaining our options in setting up our trusts. He took all the time we asked for to answer any questions we had after we read through all the documents. He even came to our house to get a few last minute signatures (an hour drive for him each way). Clearly very knowledgeable in his field.

Meet with Mr Brunson regarding a pro bate case on some property after my husband passed away. He was very professional and so helpful during a very difficult time. Mr Brunson explained the procedures of the pro bate case and made it very easy to understand. He and his staff took care of everything while also keeping me up to date on very thing that was going on. When ever I called they were always ready to help and answer any questions I had. Thank you so much and I appreciate very thing you and your staff did for me. I will recommend Kevin Brunson and The Wilson Estate Planning Firm.

The Brad Hendricks Law Firm
The Brad Hendricks Law Firm consists of some of Arkansas’ most professional lawyers.
I am an old man who has traveled the world, and never before I have met a young fellow with the nobility I detected in Attorney Kitchen. I also had the opportunity to work with one of the most ingenious lawyers in the State of Arkansas. This gentleman is efficient in all his professional responsibilities
and demonstrates an exceptional mastery of his skills. In these times when young men and women often have no social graces or respect towards their elders, Attorney Kitchen was very respectful in his communication with me regarding my case and never missed referring to me as mister or sir. He followed high standards of ethical behavior in our attorney-client
relationship. I’d like to crown Attorney Kitchen as a Knight!
Mr. Hendricks, it was an honor to do business with your law firm.

Have used Wayne Ball for my revocable trust for many years and feel confident the document created will serve me well. Wayne has asked specific questions to ensure the revocable trust delivers for the short term and long term. Wayne waits patiently as I ramble verbally regarding my thoughts, wishes, and concerns for my beneficiaries.Wayne captures my ramblings accurately for the revocable trust document.
I feel the revocable trust provides just what I need and want for the unpredictable future...
Money well spent for the creation of my revocable trust!
Staff at the office are nice and helpful too.

Wayne Ball created my trust and helped me understand current issues as well as unpredictable long term future issues. I am confident my trust is thorough and will be an effective means of handling my estate upon my death, while allowing continued access to everything in my estate while alive. One very nice benefit is the filing of my medical related power of attorney and my medical decision in DOCUBANK and the the wallet card that provides the necessary information for accessing the documents .

I first made contact with Mr.Hall in 2010 regarding my divorce. Since then he has handled a few more cases for me. I will say in court he comes out of the corner swinging and does not back down. He is VERY prompt at returning phone calls. And very through at explaining everything that he plans on doing for your case I've not had to contact another attorney yet. Nor would I ever. Anytime I have questions. On a legal matter. He's the first one I call. If your having any legal issue. I suggest giving him a call before talking to anyone else.

Mr. Hall tenaciously called the prosecution, kept me informed at all times, and did not stop until my case was expunged, as I was promised in a court of law 11 years ago. Mr. Hall is an outstanding attorney, and I would insist that anyone I knew who may need criminal representation to contact Mr. Hall.

Don was successful at removing a mechanic’s lien on my home and evading litigation in a lawsuit brought against me by a residential contractor and his lawyer. Construction law is confusing and Don demonstrated expertise in that area as he left no page unturned and addressed every accusation filed against me (which were several) with swift, aggressive and thorough responses. Don’s dedication to my case was a humbling experience; he spent late nights and weekends collecting pertinent information to cover all bases, and in the end, it all worked to my favor, as I didn’t have to pay the opposing party a single penny. Don fought for my home as if it were his own and I will always be grateful that he took up my case.

Ms. Johnson corrected the estate planning for my parents who had used another attorney. That attorney made a real mess of their trusts and estate. She was able to help my brothers and I correct the significant estate problems and literally saved our family farm. I would highly recommend Ms. Johnson.

Mr. Files represented me as the defendant and custodial parent in my paternity, custody, and child support case. I found him to be patient, collected, thorough, and attentive in his legal counsel. He was quick to respond to my emails when needed. I always felt that he was on my team. He is not one of these lawyers who will fill my head with what I wanted to hear just to make a buck, but what I needed to hear to be reasonably prepared for this process. I found him to be very rational, honest and upfront. In the end he helped to represent my position with the judge regarding my ability to protect my child from her father's alcoholism and general unfitness while still allowing for an opportunity for him to have the healthiest possible relationship with her as I requested. His thoughtful counsel and representation earned us a very satisfactory final ruling to meet my family's needs despite having three different judges presiding over our case.

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.
