Last year I was in a car accident that was not my fault. The lady that hit me was texting and driving at the time. Ms Lydia was able to navigate the insurance process to help me get all of my medical bills paid and my car fixed and have more than I expected left for me. She returned all my calls and emails promptly and I never had to wonder about my case status. Hands down she is one of the best most experienced attorneys in the Valley.

Ms. Elizondo was my attorney on a personal injury case. This is by far the best experience with an attorney I have ever had. She returned every call the same day without fail. She would answer all of my questions and did not rush me off the phone. She also had a solid grasp of the law and made me feel very comfortable. Not only did she guide me through the entire process but she produced a good result as well. Highly recommend her.

Della was very friendly and honest in her dealing with me. I felt very comfortable discussing my case with her. I was deathly afraid of my husband and she made me feel safe when we went to court. She didn't leave my side and was not afraid of him. I was impressed with her command of the law and the situation.

I was a victim of domestic violence. Della helped me to file charges against my husband with the local police department. I had tried many times to file charges with the McAllen Police Department. They never listened to me until Della came to speak to them on my behalf. She educated me as to what my rights were and as to what I needed to do to get a protective order and go through with the criminal charges against my husband. She got a protective order for me and went with me to all of the criminal court hearings for the case against my husband. She also helped me divorce my abuser and find a job.

Robert Flores is a fantastic lawyer. He is very professional and prepared in court. I like the way he carries himself in court - very good etiquette :) He stepped when no one else wouldn't. I had been in court for 3 years getting the run around, then I hired Robert. He came into the case, in which I was a co-defendant in a civil case, and got the job done. My first attorney did nothing for me. Robert came into the case, filed counter lawsuits and other motions in court and got me the result I wanted and responded to all my calls and text messages. I have now hired him again on a probate case to help probate my partner's estate. I highly recommend!

We worked with attorney Jared Clark at The Rodriguez Law Firm, and had a very positive experience. He was very professional and worked quickly to resolve our case. He communicated with both my husband and I every day he received communication regarding our case, and would give us a weekly call to update us on the progress of our resolution. Very attentive and thorough in his work, would highly recommend working with attorney Jared Clark.

Mr Biel was a wealth of information! I never realized the difference between the laws governing a home (homestead) and a rental property. Wow, a landlord has no rights when dealing with an unsatisfactory contractor. His suggestion for how to settle was extremely helpful. I wish I had hired him when my previous contractor scammed me.

I had the pleasure of working with Jesus Villalobos and Rosa Tijerina on my legal matter, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome. They took the time to understand my injury and personalized a treatment plan that worked for me. They both demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and were always thorough, professional, and attentive to my needs. They took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring I was comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. Their dedication to my case was evident, and they worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible result. I highly recommend Villalobos Law Firm for anyone seeking trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate legal representation. From the bottom of my heart thank you.

Today, I had an unfortunate experience in court with my daughter's father. At seven and a half months pregnant, it was already a hectic morning, struggling to find parking and finally arriving 17 minutes late. Upon entering the court, I saw my daughter's father and his attorney, Della Fay. I overheard Della Fay complaining that I wasn't in court. To make my presence known, I said, "Hey, I'm here." Her reaction was dismissive and condescending. She grabbed my daughter's father, continued walking, and mockingly said, "Yeah, well, we already called the case," while looking back at me. This was clearly intended to worry me, and it did. I rushed to the courtroom to check in and explain my situation. Fortunately, the court reheard my case, and the judge explained the ruling. It became clear that Della Fay's earlier complaint about my absence was because the decision was still in my favor. Throughout the process, I was anxious and distressed, fearing that my tardiness had negatively impacted my case. Thankfully, the judge was patient and understanding. This incident highlighted Della Fay's unprofessionalism. Her attitude seemed aimed at creating unnecessary stress and conflict, despite knowing I was pregnant and visibly distressed. This behavior is particularly disappointing given her involvement with a nonprofit organization that supports children and women victims of abuse. If she recalled, the last time she represented him, I signed off $1,000 to help him and ensured some of the support went towards his back pay. Previously, I signed off $5,000 to get him out of jail so he could get back on his feet. This demonstrates that we mothers aren't all money-hungry and bitter. Her approach did not reflect the empathy and professionalism one would expect from someone in her position. If she had approached the situation with understanding and respect, the outcome might have been more positive for her client. Instead, her condescending attitude and lack of compassion were counterproductive. If that's how she gets clients—by creating problems—that's on her, but next time, make sure it doesn't come at the expense of causing unnecessary stress to a seven-month-pregnant woman outside a courtroom. Shame on you, Della Fay, for treating a pregnant woman this way. Your behavior today was uncalled for and unprofessional.

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.
