James responded to a question I posted. I was able to reach him immediately from my first call. He spent a considerable amount of time consulting with me without hesitation. James was courteous, respectful, professional and extremely knowledgeable. He answered every question I asked directly with sincere detailed answers. After speaking with James, it was clear to me this was an attorney who truly cares about people. He worked promptly on what I needed, kept his word and demonstrated excellent communication. I reached out to 3 attorneys, James consulted with me and completed what I needed before even a return phone call from the other 2 attorneys. I know many others, including myself, who have had just mediocre or terrible experiences trying to reach and work with an attorney. James is genuine and willing to help no matter how small or large the need. He has integrity and does not overpromise and underdeliver. I did NOT hire James by default because he answered my call. He earned my trust and respect. I would not hesitate to hire James in the future and refer him to everyone I know or meet. Highly recommended!

Atty. James Frederick answered a question for me on Avvo and after several phone consultations, I hired him to assist with my father's small estate proceeding in Michigan. I don't live in Michigan, so my case needed special attention and constant contact at points. Over the course of 4 years (due to the nature of the case), Atty. Frederick was always available to me by phone, email, and also at one point readily agreed to travel 2 hours away to a hearing for the estate with minimal fuss. I was wary of handling the process remotely when my case started, but I can tell you that it was handled honestly, professionally, and for what I thought was a reasonable rate. If you are in the Livonia area (or anywhere in Michigan), and need any service that Atty. Frederick provides, you can not go wrong in at least speaking to him about it.

Mr. Bagazinski was great during the closing for the purchase of my home. For my wife and I, this was our first home purchase. He was very knowledgeable on what to look for within the documents to make sure everything was done correctly. He took the time to explain each document to us. This gave us a great peace of mind that everything was done correctly. He answered all the of questions we had. Our closing experience was made much easier having him with us. I would highly recommend Gerald Bagazinski.

Do yourself a favour and don't even converse with this law firm. Their service was awful they recommended a contractor for me Little did I know that that person was being sued for the same crap that I had to put up with They are very good at taking your money very slow for any type of report on your case. They put me on the back burner. End turned out that the contractor that they referred to me rip me off too walked off the job because he was using my money to pay Off lawsuits and anyway they lost the case for him to.

Rahm has represented me in both a criminal case (no jail time) and child custody/support case. He has what studies have shown is the biggest predictor for success “people skills”. I’ve had a bad experience with a lawyer before who once they got my money wouldn’t return my calls or emails and gave me next to no communication. That’s not Rahm, he responds in a timely manner and answers all your questions and genuinely seems to care.

Bad experience with this law firm. I was told that they were real good at their job,they were good at taking your money. Email aegatian or litigation she sat there like a lump on the log. We were in the process of suing a construction company we had problems big problems then Tracy refer us to another contractor to clean up the mess that the 1st company did and at 1st he was working out well and then he used $3500 of our money for his lawsuit or bills did note by our tile at all left the house unfinished electrical floors bathroom never finished. Then she told us she had a talk with her professor that she Had in college for ethics in supposably he told her that she had to drop one of her clients either us or Ascot home improvement she chose Not to help us after we paid them $3000 plus another $700 for some retired judge who was senile. Not a pleasant experience with that company I'm pretty sure that we were just a fill in. Ascott home services was referred by mormando law had work done to their house and it was not a good job so they hierd Scott Brooks to finish or corrected. Well of course Scott Brooks did a good job for them they are lawyers and I did not know they were representing him a lawsuits so they got rid of me talking about ethics and the ethics was that Scott Brooks was making them more money than I was that's mormando ethics

Working with Tracey has been an absolute pleasure. She is very professional, but at the same time, gets connected with you on a comfortable, personal level. She listens, is extremely reasonable, and understandable. She kept me abreast of all pertinent information and worked with me diligently to reach the same goals. She was knowledgeable, relatable, determined and effective attorney who delivered the exact results I needed.
I was extremely pleased with my outcome and would not hesitate to recommend her for any legal need. If you have a real estate issue and you want an attorney that is experienced, unpretentious, and will provide you with the best representation, you should retain the services of Tracey Guisbert!!

I would absolutely recommend her services to any and all who are looing for a great attorney. Tracey simply is one of the best in the business!!

If you want an attorney who cares and LISTENS to you call Gary Klein ! I cannot sing the praises enough !! I was a complete wreck before speaking to him this morning. He calmed my nerves , opened my eyes and showed me how the case may work or not work. Total transparency and complete professionalism. He has 100 % restored my faith in attorneys. Ron Acho answered ny first call and I thought he was the kindest attorney I had ever spoken to - then he referred me to Mr. Klein ( as he is the real estate guru at the firm ) and Gary Klein has just knocked it out of the park with his guidance I am confident I can win my case. Use this firm you will be happily surprised to find attorneys who genuinely care about you and your well being.

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.
