If you're looking for a solid attorney, please choose Mr. Kassaw. My case involved a deceased family member with no will. I am out of state, and Mr. Kassaw professionally directed me in all aspects of what to do, when, why, and who could help. You won't likely find an attorney who will work for you as efficiently as Mr. Kassaw.

Mr. Vier did an excellent job handling an estate probate case for me. I was referred to him by the second largest law firm in the nation. He is very knowledgeable and has 16 years of experience. I felt confident in his knowledge of handling the case. He kept me informed on the progress on a regular basis and was easy to contact. He was always prompt in returning my calls. I recommend him to anyone who is looking to have their case handled in a very professional way.

Greg Longino has been a huge blessing to our family in everything from probate, wills, elder care to adoption. He is a rare attorney that places integrity way above fees and running a business. In short he was a great and wise counselor in big family decisions because of this and because of many years of experience. He is very competent in the law and especially has tremendous respect from the judges he appears before. We give our highest recommendation to Greg Longino and how he serves his clients like us.

I've been requesting a call from my Sam Johnson for quite some time. He appears he has sold his soul. Ironic, same as Loving Toyota. Loving was opposite they were BULLIES; Amy was. Still are - they moved their service manager in right next door to stalk me. Wasn't that nice? Guess what his last name is.. "Bailey" my maiden name. How long now Sam, since I visited your office seeking an intervention.? They put him on EVERY CHANNEL since then and Elon joined in. WTA are you waiting on? How do you think Don became president?

Sent me a fraudulent lien when I contact lawyer he couldn’t believe how many things they didn’t do and was so many lies . The fact his client says I owe him 69,000 on top of the 19,600 I already gave him . He didn’t do more then 13,000 dollars worth of work because he didn’t sent an itemized list like I asked for repeatedly we had to hire someone to estimate costs for insurance purposes and then he left my house damaged . I can’t wait to win this lawsuit . I will be making a YouTube video on the whole thing to help fellow Texans from being scammed by contractors and their lawyers . The same Texas codes they send they went against . So 1) they don’t know law . 2) the know law and choose to ignore it . 3) their client has lied to them . For their sake I hope it’s 3 !

Deaton Law Firm Poor customer service. I have made multiple attempts to contact your office, yet I have not received any response to my inquiries. Details of the Issue: • Email Communication: On 30 April 2024, I sent an email regarding legal documents. I followed up with another email and two phone calls. To date, I have not received a response to either email. • Phone Calls: I called your office and left a voicemail. I made additional calls without any returned calls or acknowledgement of my messages. As a result I have to fly to from California to Texas, to retrieve the documents in question. This lack of communication is highly unprofessional and concerning. Expected Resolution: I would expect improved communication moving forward. Sincerely, Andre Kirkendoll

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.
