I had a previous lawyer who sold me out for $5000. Mr Seuthe said he would look into my case and not promise me anything. After reviewing my case, he explained the previous lawyer really messed you up, he fought and was willing to go to court for me regardless of the expense of trial. Not to many would do that because their more worried the money they are spending not you. Long story short he got them to settle for $90,000 instead.

I've been using Tony's services for over 10 years. I'm always amazed at how he excels at breadth and depth of legal matters. Usually lawyers only do one or the other. He also works at a large firm that he is well-networked at so if something falls outside of his expertise, he can have other lawyers provide very critical and quick insight. He acts as a quarterback for these more nuanced situations and is able to coordinate between many different lawyers to achieve our goals.
His documentation is impeccable and memory for details impressive. Since I've been working with him for over 10 years now, we have had to go back over old details from time to time and he has great records. I'd highly recommend Tony and Buchalter Law Firm.

I've been referring cases to Merino Yebri since 2016, to both Alex and Sam. They are prompt at communication, thorough in their analyses, and fight hard for their clients. My clients, friends, and contacts whom I've referred have been happy with their representation, and they honorably pay referral fees. Highly recommend.

In the last 30 years, I have litigated with and against Larry several times, and I have also watched as he built an impressive law firm.
Larry is very smart and very capable, but I know many lawyers who are smart and capable, and that it not what makes Larry stand apart.
Many lawyers tend to forget the fact that the law is only a tool and that litigation is not an end in itself.
As a result, all too often, the tail often wags the dog.
Because of Larry’s substantial experience in the business world, he approaches legal problems from a business perspective.
Few lawyers do that, and even fewer do that well.
If I had to retain counsel to represent me in a business dispute, Larry would be my first choice.

I have known and worked with Larry Russ for over 20 years. I can state, categorically, that Larry is the best in the business. He "gets it" immediately and completely. He goes right to the heart of a matter, saving his clients huge amounts in legal fees as compared to other firms, and providing first rate client services time and time again. He is 100% trustworthy and, for good measure, he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

When I found myself in a really bad situation with a commercial lease and had been given bad advice by the only lawyer I had ever used before, I was so lucky to have a friend refer Philip. He understood what I was going through and the steps to deal with it all. He advised me as to the best and worst case scenarios so that I did not have unrealistic expectations. There were several days when I probably was a bit dramatic and Philip was always calm and reassuring on the phone or via email. At one point he even called me on a Friday evening to tell me some good news about the situation!

Payam Derakhshan is the most intelligent lawyer I have ever met and dealt with. His knowledge goes beyond all expectations and his experience within his field makes you aware of all up to date laws even after he has completed any work for you. He keeps in contact and lets you know how the industry is changing. He makes you feel comfortable when dealing with all issues and explains everything on a level that you can understand so there is no misunderstanding. Payam gives you full undivided attention as if you were his only client. He is very responsive to email and will even go beyond the normal hours of business to get you answers late at night if you have anything you need to discuss.

Marc defended my consulting firm in a very complicated case involving a wrongful death case and elder abuse. Marc handled this case with dispatch and zeal. His knowledge of the healthcare industry and his exceptional legal knowledge resulted in a settlement that was less than 4% of the original demands. Senior counsel for the State of California was equally impressed with Marc's work.

I hired Josh to help me with a website was hijacked by a web designer, I had a functioning site and with one disagreement it was shut down and a message put up saying that I do not pay my bills. Not true.
The webmaster decided on well over $30,000 for the site and with little recourse I had our attorneys battle it out.
I wrote a check for $5,000 a month later and learned 2 valuable lessons.
1 - Always consult with the lawyer before you sign a deal with anyone for a business opportunity.
2 - Call Josh if you are being bullied and do not know what to do.
Thanks man

Jordan was very helpful and nice communicated back with me in a timely manner and solved my issue of me almost losing my money on a new jetski I had bough from a dealership. The ski is going to get diagnostic and the problem should be fixed by the manufacture. I had spent so much money trying to find the problem with the ski at so many dealers but they couldn't find anything and when I would call the Manfacture they would tell me your out of luck. Thanks to Jordan for talking to them and getting me a good will service diagnostics my ski will be running and operating again and I don't have to just throw away the 20k I spent on the ski. I couldn't have had asked for better service from Jordan where no one wanted to take my case because either they said there's no money or profit margin innit for them or they just don't deal with water sport.

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.
