We called the Sloan Firm and they had Raymond Hatcher call us right back. I was in a car accident and he guided us on everything. We hired him. Everything went as planned and got us what we asked for. Kena and Micah also worked with us. This is an OUTSTANDING law firm and Mr. Hatcher is a TERRIFIC lawyer. He also worked with my son on his accident also. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Hatcher and Kena.

Mr. Hatcher and staff were very accommodating and helpful, listened to my concerns and helped get me to correct doctors and on the road to recovery. They took control and left pretty much everything to the lawyer and staff.

Brian has represented our company, a major petrochemical corporation, for over 15 years. Litigation has included personal injury and exposure cases, contract disputes, pipeline incidents, and right-of-way matters. He has served both as defense and prosecuting attorney for us. His results have always been favorable. When compared to other attorneys we have had, there is absolutely no reservation in recommending Brian. In fact, I would characterize Brian as the best attorney that I have had, and I have had a lot of them.

Counsel has provided legal services for our company for several years. We are always well-represented in litigated matters and most recently tried a case to judgment before a jury and received a defense verdict. Counsel was well-prepared for the trial and kept the jury engaged in spite of adverse rulings from the bench.

I promise my words cannot convey the gratitude my family and I have for this anointed attorney, Jonathan Wharton! We had been cheated by and lost a lot of money due to a horrible contractor and an even worse attorney. I had almost given up. I felt like evil was winning, and I felt like I had failed my family. With very little faith, I called a successful attorney office my friend had suggested. That law firm told me that they did not practice that type of law, so they referred me to Jonathan Wharton. The first time I talked to him, he was finishing my sentences. I had been explaining my cry so much, it was refreshing to talk to someone who not only understood where I was coming from, but could state the law to combat the problem with the first conversation. Wharton addressed the “terrible” attorney with knowledge, skill set, and a command that she went days without a response. Then when she did respond, he met her with case law that shut her up! I felt like a kid saying, “My dad is stronger than your dad!” I had not felt this good in two years since the saga began. I found the strength to clean my apartment better, be truly present with my children, I laughed, and then I cried an ugly cry of gratitude. The relief I felt was God sent. The prayers I prayed, and for a stranger to come in and help us when those who I thought I could trust cheated us, helped me learn what trust looks like. I am sure I am going off on a tangent, but the contractor who built my house poorly and did not complete it is a preacher. The horrible attorney I hired was someone I knew from the small town where I graduated. Both failed me significantly. They knew that my husband had just died before our building the house and they knew that I had a child with special needs. Therefore, you would think they would lead with integrity. To this day, I have not physically met Jonathan. I tried him with the little faith I had left, and he led us out of a dark place with his skill set, knowledge, and a true calling for the job. If you want an attorney you can TRUST, who possess the understanding and follow through you expect from a “great” attorney, that is Jonathan Wharton. He responds quickly and effectively. Now, he is our first call for any legal solution because we know that he can handle the problem!

Mr. Wharton represented me with a property issue. Where other lawyers recommended bankruptcy Jonathan used his legal expertise to gain a ruling in my favor. Good lawyers are hard to come by. Mr. Wharton is one of the good ones.

I've had the opportunity to work with Bob on numerous occasions and would not hesitate to do so again, and will. His knowledge of the oil and gas field and his work is above any in the East Texas area. Each time he had an assignment it was done promptly and to my upmost satisfaction. If an oil and gas attorney is needed, this is your guy.

#1 Lawyer for family in Longview! She and her husband will fight for a child with all their knowledge and heart. My first lawyer sold me out, which is normal for a small town for lawyers to settle cases according to who they know. Not the Kroscher's. My grandson was ripped out of our arms after his only active parent, my son, was killed. If it hadn't been for the Kroscher's we would have lost my grandson for good. He would have been left at the mercy of a parent who - well, his only saving grace was us and his Dad. If you love a child and want a lawyer that will truly fight for them and not cut a deal under the table these are the people for you
Our family is forever indebted to this family. Thank you Kroscher's.

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.
