I've worked with Roy on a handful of projects since Summer 2014, and have been consistently impressed with his kindness, his insight, and his willingness (insistence! might be a better word, really) to help a small businessman with the same intensity he brings to his higher profile clients. Simply put, the guy is a mensch.

I am the general counsel of an energy firm in New Orleans and have worked with numerous outside labor and employment counsel in the area. None are better than Scott. He is responsive, exceptionally smart, and consistently comes up with solid strategies to deal with difficult situations. On top of that, he is a genuinely good and funny guy and I have yet to review one of his bills where I thought I wasn't getting excellent value for what I was paying. Scott gets my highest recommendation.

When I spoke with Collin, I learned his views both as a private citizen and a public official. His views are what is best for St. Tammany parish and Louisiana. He cares and wants what is best for everyone. We are lucky to have someone with his background and experience as our district attorney. Congratulations!

Walked in from the neighborhood to ask Mr. Cohen to notarize a document. Then we talked. He listened and advised; and listened some more. I went back to talk to him at least twice. He's impressive.

Georges was "assigned" to handle a case for me about 25 years ago. With reluctance I started working with Georges. I would not have anyone else today.
There are not enough superlatives to describe Georges personally and professionally. Working with him is like working with the Who's Who of Maritime attorneys. Dedicated, relentless, ethical, professional, thorough are a few words that come to mind. Georges is the guy I want with me in the Fox Hole when I go to war. Not to mention that his corporation is a great team that provides tremendous support.
OBTW he has his hard-hat, steel-toes and life jacket in the trunk of his car.......

Mr Murrell assisted us with a name change for my grandchild, who has been estranged from her father for many years. The father was very reluctant to allow her name to be changed from his last name, but Mr Murrell ultimately gained his permission.
Mr Murrell handled this very emotional situation quickly and professionally. We will use him again soon for estate planning, and we highly recommend him to relatives and friends.

Starting a business is stressful enough already. We needed a lawyer to help us make sure we were doing things the right way and to guide us through the process with our well being in mind. Andy did exactly that. He acquired a good understanding of what we needed as small business owners and even made suggestions for better solutions without being prompted. The solutions almost always resulted in better protection for all entities involved. The peace of mind Andy brought to our situation was invaluable, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney.

It is very difficult for me to write a review for Mr. Aub Ward in just a few sentences. My entire family was traumatized by my car accident. My entire family had to have additional TLC. I had to have multiple, serious surgeries. Aub did not just call to see how I was doing, he also came to see me in the hospital to check on me. My case lasted for a couple of years. Aub looked at the case like it was a brand new case every single day. Aub was so thorough, knowledgeable, and resourceful that I knew I had been put in the right hands. Aub put countless hours into my case. He consulted specialist all over the country to make sure that he was prepared for anything that the defense could possibly be brought up in my case. Aub went as far as to hire a consultant and several other lawyers for a retreat to see where they may be holes or cracks in my case so that he would be prepared for that. This retreat lasted the entire day. The lawyers involved in the retreat we're not only acting as lawyers to make sure that all the details and factual information in my case was correct, but the lawyers also looked at it from a juror's point of view. This retreat helped my case tremendously. There are not enough words that I can use to express how diligently Aub worked on my case. He never treated me as just another face or just another client. He looked at me as a traumatized victim that needed someone to truly help them. I could not have asked for a better lawyer than Aub Ward. When my husband and I had those first initial meetings with Aub; he did not sugarcoat any of the details of my case. Aub told me what he thought my case was worth and that was the amount that I received. Aub still contacts me to this day to check on me and to make sure that my family and I are doing OK. He is a diligent lawyer, but he also sees a face and a family with each case that he works. Aub is someone that I will stay in contact with for many, many years to come. I trust him, I just his loyalty, I trust his knowledge, and I trust that he will give every case what it takes to make sure that each client receives the best care possible. I am very certain that had I not used Aub in my case, I would not have been awarded the amount that I received. If you want someone that is going to work their fingers to the bone and to also give you the most attention possible, then Aub Ward is your man.

We've worked with Ms. Sherman on several projects, including negotiation and permitting, and have always found her to be communicative, reliable, and completely invested in our interests. She is extremely detail-oriented and capable of picking apart a contract better than any lawyer we've ever worked with, as we discovered when we were involved in a potentially disastrous Real Estate deal.
In our experience, Ms. Sherman's manner is approachable and empathetic when we are in conference and tough and persistent during negotiation, but she also has an innate ability to charm and bring the temperature in the room down when things get heated.
When we needed to navigate City Hall and apply for the liquor license for our restaurant, Ms. Sherman helped us to successfully navigate a complex and somewhat obtuse and frustrating process.
Ms. Sherman is not afraid to tackle a job which includes aspects that fall outside of her usual sphere of experience and has a vast network of colleagues to consult with when a question arises that she needs clarified. We enjoyed working with her very much and consider her a vital part of our "team" and an invaluable resource.

Ms. Sherman was very knowledgeable and informative of the problems I had been having with a certain situation. She took the time to explain to me the actions that needed to be taken in resolving my issues. She was very prompt in returning phone calls to any questions I may have had. She got the job done as painlessly as possible and was very reasonably priced. Awesome job! I would definitely recommend Ms. Sherman to anyone looking for a great attorney! If I ever need someone to handle any legal matter in the future, she is top on my list.

I have known Stan Feucht for decades. He is a trustworthy, responsive, and knowledgeable attorney. He comes from a family with a long line of judicial and legal excellence. Stan vigorously advocates for the rights of his clients both in criminal and civil cases. He is also a very kind, generous person. He is a true gentleman, family man, and friend of the community. He recently contacted me to find out civil rights groups for a family that had not hired him to work yet. He donated his time and energy to making sure they got the information they needed in a timely manner with no expectation of reward or payment. I would recommend Stan for any criminal or civil matter in the state of Louisiana.

My business had a matter that required navigating processes at both the City and State level. She was effective in her representation, had the knowledge we needed to get quick results and I could see the tremendous respect that people had for her. Mrs. Terrell and her associates helped me get through both zoning and licensing matters easily. She even attended meetings on my behalf when I was traveling and I had no hesitancy to have her speak on my behalf. Her law group seems to have a great deal of experience in litigation as well as business and their work is thorough. I never felt like Mrs. Terrell or her associates will billing just for the sake of billing and I have seen that before !

Mr. Fos represented my son last year after an auto accident. My son had just turned eighteen, and it would have been very easy for the insurance company to take advantage of his inexperience. Mr. Fos protected his interests, and helped him get a settlement appropriate for the injuries he suffered.
The experience seemed terrifying to him initailly, but Mr. Fos treated my son with respect, and shepherded him through the process. I am so grateful for his professionalism, knowledge, and experience.

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.
