I had a legal sitution that festered for over five years. Complicating the matter was that I received a judgement in another state and my opponent sought to evade payment in Wisconsin. This mattered little to Mr. Thill. He quickly registered our judgement in Wisconsin and began proceedings. What impressed me the most was that Mr. Thill kept at it no matter what my opponent attempted, tried, or said. Equally impressive was that Mr. Thill kept me informed every step of the way and often asked for my input. If you are in a needs collection situation I would highly reccomend Brian Thill. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I had recently had an unfortunate matter involving property and family. Sadly the situation could not be resloved without the need for legal intervention. Attorney Brian Thill provided me with uncompromising professionalism, compassion, and impressive legal knowledge. He always kept me informed, and I never felt as though I was "out of the loop". The outcome of the matter was succsessful One can never really claim a "win" in such a situation, but Attorney Thill did a remarkable job of being able to make myself financially whole, while limiting the harm to the contra party. A fine line which few can walk.

I have known Jonathan for well over a year, and he has been everything that I can hope for in an IP lawyer. He helped with a trademark search for my company, as well as submitting a provisional patent. The information that was required from me was well laid out, and he was very responsive in what I needed. I certainly felt like a valued client of his, which means a lot. He was able to get information from other lawyers for me if needed, and I will be going to Jonathan in the future. Above all, he is a very nice and genuine person to be with.

I used Jonathan for a freedom to operate review on some new IP our company created. His input was timely, complete and he added value by helping us consider options we had not thought of previously. I was very satisfied with the work and will be using him again.

I has the pleasure of working with John after I was involved in an accident. He made me feel like a member of his family and was genuinely committed to doing his best for me. He dealt with the insurance companies and was able to take care of everything, which allowed me to go back to my normal life. On top of all that he was able to get me double the settlement that I would have normally received. Overall, I had a great experience with John and he helped me through a difficult period of my life. I would recommend him to any of my family or friends in need of a personal injury lawyer.

Rachel impressed me with her knowledge, thought process, delivery, communication and professionalism. In trial, the judge even commented on how articulate she was.
On top of being incredibly professional and intelligent she has a very kind heart and a wonderful sense of understanding the components of the human emotions, especially with children. I can not recommend her enough, especially if you need an attorney for the best interest of your children.

I was charged with disorderly conduct on a government installation ,I was not charged at first ,I hired a lawyer to get the charges dropped ,this case went uncharged for a year and when I received notice that I was being charged the lawyer I hired wanted more money to show up in court ...to make a long story short I had already paid this lawyer too much for doing nothing so I fired her and hired William Richard Jones. he was on the spot he came in and argued my case got the charges dropped and was done in less than an hour although we had agreed to a much higher price he only charged me for the time he spent on the case which was about 10% of my previous lawyer . He was professional and courteous at all times and showed a great concern for my case and the outcome that I wanted one of the best lawyers I have dealt with in a long time

In my capacity as General Counsel of a publicly traded company, I was a client of Hamang's over several years, including hiring him as lead outside counsel for the acquisition of a technology-based entertainment company. Hamang's substantive knowledge of applicable law was outstanding. He is the type of attorney who "makes" rather than "breaks" a deal. He also has an engaging and open personality.

I definitely trust her with any future legal needs I may have.

Joshua represented me for a small claims case involving an individual who claimed to be a professional auto body repair, but in actuality, literally destroyed my BMW due to his negligence/inexperience. The 3 auto body repair shops I took it to for estimates totalled the car (it would cost more to repair his mistakes then the car was worth ~ upwards of $10K).
When other lawyers did not seem interested in taking the case, Joshua took it to heart and made sure I would get some sort of justice. In fact, he did, and I was granted the judgement we had asked for. I would hire Joshua again in a heartbeat.

I am a restructuring consultant and I have worked with Ginger on four matters over about ten years. In every one she has been extremely timely in her communications, detailed and prepared in her legal work, and clear in her verbal communications. She also sees the matter from the client's perspective, so that if it is simply procedural, she explains the why and when; if there are legal strategies to be weighed , she explains the pros and cons to prepare the client to make a decision.
She has helped in a unique state of Wisconsin receivership action under which a retail chain was sold for full repayment of the secured; in an out-of-court debt restructuring, which included a forbearance agreement and debt covenant re-set; and a contentious chapter 11 proceeding, where she served as counsel to the Chief Restructuring Officer. Potential litigation in this matter, in particular, was new territory to me, and Ginger's easy and confident style as well as legal-eagle drafting prevented tensions from rising too high.
All of the matters were successfully concluded from the client's perspective.
I strongly recommend Ginger as a partner for any restructuring, creditor's rights or bankruptcy matter, and I would be delighted to work with her again.

Consistently provides excellent advice and resources. Is extremely knowledgeable and persuasive. Has tremendous network of contacts and great breadth of firm to provide legal services in which he is not expert. Possesses great respect from his colleagues, City staff and elected officials as well as the general public.
Constructive criticism: Could delegate a bit more to other attorneys when his plate is full, and it often is.

Mr. Lightfoot has proven to be not only an exceptional attorney but also a compassionate advocate for healthcare practices facing mistreatment and challenging circumstances.
In my darkest and most challenging times, Mr. Lightfoot emerged as a beacon of hope and support for both my family and my clients.

Healthcare is not just a profession for me; it is my life's passion. Unfortunately, I found myself in a situation where my ability to operate and serve my community was unjustly stripped away. It was during this dark and trying period that Mr. Lightfoot's expertise and unwavering support shone the brightest. His guidance, advocacy, and legal acumen have been instrumental in helping me navigate through challenging legal obstacles and emerge stronger on the other side.
I am beyond grateful for Mr. Lightfoot's hard work, dedication, and genuine care for his clients. His compassion and commitment to justice have been a true blessing in my life, and I thank God for guiding me to a lawyer who not only understands the intricacies of healthcare law but also genuinely cares about the well-being of his clients.

Joe Bugni and Peter Moyers did an excellent job for me. They really poured their heart into all of the motions and showed immense attention to the case. They were also available to talk to regularly. I will admit there is a stigma around the term "Public Defenders" but, at least for Joe and Peter (I can't speak for the other attorneys as I didn't work with them) this stigma was strongly defied. Looking back I feel representation was comparable and maybe even exceeded that which could have been acquired with a private attorney. It is evident that this is a passion not just a career. All other staff (office, interns, social workers) had the same quality of service and care as well. If you're in a position where you cannot afford a private attorney you've lucked out here.

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.
