I have been in the market for customized employee handbooks exclusively for my company’s needs for a while now. I have purchased handbooks and have hired companies to prepare one for me as well. These companies have all advised that they would customize my hand book to my company, yet! each time I have been given handbooks that either don’t apply to me or just 100% generic to the letter that it was embarrassing. I discovered General Counsel, P.C. and Mr. Evan St. John, who have been patient, understanding, and very professional throughout the entire process. I am pleased to say the least with the ending product and will continue to have a relationship with them moving into the future. Great work and so much appreciated.
Highly Recommended!

Larry Stein was initially recommended to me by a colleague. In 2019, I was contemplating filing an EEO complaint, and I reached out to Larry to inquire about legal representation. I was incredibly impressed with Larry’s attentiveness as I summarized the issues I was experiencing with my agency. He explained the law and offered me insights about whether I had a viable case. He also advised me to contact him if anything changed. A year later, a significant change occurred. I immediately contacted Larry and retained him for my EEO case, which continued for 20 months. Larry provided me with exceptional representation. He was a consummate professional who made himself available even after regular working hours. He has a strong character and demonstrates empathy with his clients. Given his high-level of experience, I felt comfortable and confident when relying on his professional judgment. I trusted Larry to make the right decision, and he always did. We eventually reached a resolution in my case in my favor thanks to Larry’s dedication and hard work. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case and with my experience working with Larry, who treated me as if I was a member of his family. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend Larry Stein to anyone in need of representation.

My Friend fell upon hard times and was served for Unlawful Detainer. I came across David Burger's listing online and called up. Katrina Smallwood, one of his Paralegals educated me on her rights and instantly turned her life around for the better! She was knowledgable and very, very helpful. We would definitely recommend this Law Firm!

I called this office on June 6 and was directed for some reason to a paralegal named Katrina Peach. I explained her the urgency of my situation about serving my Tenant with a default notice. To which she responded that if I retain the office today and pay $1000 flat fee, that she will personally serve my Tenant tonight after work in order not to lose time and send out a certified letter to him also today, i.e. On June 6th. So, I retained the office, explained that there is only one tenant and was again assured that she will serve him the same day.
So, when I call the office to follow up on June 9, Katrina never responded and I find out that she has neither personally served my Tenant with the Default Letter as she herself suggested, nor did she send the certified letter on that day!!! I further find out from their lawyer - Rachael Hammer - that the amount of owned rent is wrong on her draft letter (I sent her my Notice with the correct amount prior) and that she supposedly prepared it for another non-existent tenant. Even Rachael Hammer herself suggested a full refund and assured me that she will process it immediately that day, on June9th. I am yet to receive my money back. They were quick to charge it and it took less than 5 minutes to do it. Let's see how "fast" the refund process be???
All messed up from the very beginning. Unprofessional. Unresponsive. Not knowledgable.

I hired Mr. Hantzes to support me in a wrongful termination case. I strongly recommend that you find another Lawyer or Firm. I would give him a zero-star rating. To gain my trust, he said I had a case. After a couple of months of calls and emails, he finally sent a letter to my former employer. I was offered an amount slightly larger than what I had been offered originally. However, it took forever to get this done. The letter he sent probably took him 1 hour to draft and I had to draft a good part of it because he failed to understand what the issue was about. In my opinion, he has complete disregard for your time, feelings, or experience. He just doesn’t want to be bothered after he collects his $3.5k.

I went to see Nicholas when my business was failing, and oter aspects of my life were having issues. I interviewed three lawyers and chose him because he quickly saw problems with my contract, and helped me solve some other situations in my life that were not going well. He got me out of my contracts in a great way, and I got my life back.

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.
