If you want a lawyer who is 100% transparent and puts your needs first, hire this team. I've never regretted hiring Brett. He's punctual and thorough. He has this ability to be very respectful while saying it how it is, rather than sugar coating the situation. He won't mislead you just to get your business. In terms of expertise, they went above and beyond my high expectations.

Contacted Todd Hillock after reading reviews to update our very outdated Family Trust. Appreciated the thoroughness and time spent along with much-appreciated advice helping us make a difficult decision involving family members. Todd listened, provided guidance and direction to meet our needs. Highly recommend Todd Hallock.

My husband and I met with Todd for our estate planning. He took the time to sit down with us, get to know us personally, answer any questions we had, and recommend what was best for our situation. He was not only very knowledgeable, but very caring and honest about what we needed. The week after we signed our documents, my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Had we not listened to Todd's recommendations and put things in place, we would have missed out on some very crucial planning opportunities that would not be available to us following the diagnosis. In the process of visiting with doctors and other advisors, there multiple people who commented on the high quality of work Todd did for us. It took a lot of stress out of our situation, knowing we had all the necessary documents in place, and done by someone we trust. I highly recommend Todd!

It was a very positive experience to have Todd Hallock review and revise our wills and trusts for up to date estate planning. He is very thorough, knowledgeable, competent and a very nice person to work with. He pointed out several changes in the law which directly affected us. He was also very prompt in working with our financial advisor and tax accountant. We were very satisfied with the services we received and would recommend him to anyone.

The work that lawyers do is so important, and Braden did amazing work. As you can imagine it's hard to express our gratitude for something so tremendous. We are so grateful that he stuck with our case, though it was long. He was patient with us as we worked through emotions, realities, and the process of laws/court we did not understand. Most of all we could tell that he actually cared about our case and the work he was doing. He was very responsive and took the time to explain things we could not have understood as we had never dealt with them before. He was thorough and honest. Most importantly, he actually put effort into understanding our case so he could make an accurate and strong defense when necessary. To Mr. Braden Asper, thank you for your kindness and professionalism.

I paid my rent to the end of my lease, although I left for a new job early. The rental company re-rented my unit but hold my rent and deposit. Braden helped me get my money back and make them to pay penalty. He is very patient and supportive, as I am not a native speaker and have stuttering.

I have used Bretton to handle issues dealing with business law; everything from human resource issues to contracts with partner companies to business establishment and corporate structure issues. He's great at explaining things in layman's terms. He's very well-versed in all of these aspects of law, is very detail-oriented, and has made me feel very well represented.

Everything was done in a timely manner. I felt like a valued client. All questions I had were answered well. I will definitely use Mr. Lillywhite again. We were correcting mistakes made on a property title and its history. Namely transferring a dual ownership to a single ownership. In the process Mr. Lillywhite found a loan had not been properly reconveyed. As a result of performance from Mr. Lillywhite, the lender complied with our requests. Had it not been for his expertise, my property would have been in jeopardy. THANK YOU LILLYWHITE BUSINESS LAW.

I fully recommend Seth Tait. He has earned my trust, my confidence, and my sincerest appreciation. I hired him to assist with my divorce, now I wouldn't dare use any other attorney. Seth fights smart, fast, and efficiently. He is focused, knows what he's doing, and negotiates like a boss. He even finds ways to save me money off HIS bill. He is fiercely capable of making things happen and he has offered much more than legal counsel when it's been needed. Needing a lawyer is rough, I know. But if you're gonna pay somebody, pay someone who knows what they're doing and who will actually help you. Someone who is accessible, reasonable, honest, real, and driven. For me, that's Seth.

He never was siding with anyone and completely stayed on track. If We needed something changed, he was quick to get it done and contact us both so we both knew what to expect. if there were things we didn't agree on he was able to explain things well enough we could agree on. I would highly recommend him and his firm!!!! for any of your legal needs. Thanks, Chris

If you want to have any results then don't use this company. It's crazy that we knew more about what payments would be taken in full by the health insurance company than they did.

We were referred to Trevin to help us get an LLC organized for our new business (we were told we might need more than what an online service would offer). We are new to all this, so we called and talked with his secretary about meeting with him to ask some questions and see what would be best for our situation. We scheduled an appointment for 3pm one day, and had babysitters coordinated and our schedules cleared so we could meet with him. My husband got a call from Trevin at 2pm while he was at work. We don't know if this error was just a matter of convenience for Trevin or a mistake by his secretary, but my husband could hardly hear him let alone focus on their conversation with the noise and demands of his work, and Trevin didn't seem to care that there had been a mistake with the time. They talked briefly about what we potentially needed then ended the conversation. We had multiple questions we had wanted to ask, price being one of them, that we never had the chance to, and we had planned everything out to meet with him for nothing. We then received an email with a link to the draft of the paperwork for our LLC a few days later. We emailed him back and asked what the price would be to move forward with all this, and he replied with an outrageous amount that we couldn't afford. When we asked for clarification on what we were getting having him do it vs. forming our LLC online, he started spotting off jargon left and right, which seemed to us like he was trying to intimidate us into using his services because he knew we wouldn't understand the terms he was throwing out. We replied and said we needed to go a different direction, not only because we couldn't afford him, but because we didn't like how he never seemed to be upfront with us and wasn't a teacher AT ALL. We then received a bill in the mail for $250 for the phone, call, three emails, and creating the draft (which was extremely simple for a sole owner LLC). To us that spoke a lot of his character, are very relieved we decided not to work with him. We understand his time and expertise are valuable, but when the communication is horrible from the get-go and we pay the price for it, there's something wrong with that. And of course, because he's an attorney, we feel like we have no power to fight this, so we will just end up paying him anyway. He might be a decent lawyer for someone who can call him on his crap and has years of business and law experience, but for anyone that is just starting out, he is far from helpful.

Horrible job! We went to court and not once did he fight for me or stand up for me. Half the time I'd ask him questions about stuff we talked about previously and he had no clue what I was talking about. He is not personable at all either. Could care less about what the ruling was over our case. My biggest mistake was hiring him.

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.
