Ms. Vincent was knowledgeable and professional and most certainly worth the investment. She helped us clearly plan a strategy to best move forward from our difficult situation. I have recommended her personally more than once. Our friend who consulted with her after our recommendation was also pleased.

Matthew Lind from Olsen Daines stands out as an extraordinary personal injury lawyer. His expertise, professionalism, and empathy greatly impacted our situation following an automobile accident. After being rear-ended, dealing with the other party's insurance company proved challenging. However, Mr. Lind stepped in, and we were able to move past the incident. We highly recommend Mr. Lind at Olsen Daines for your personal injury, auto accident needs.

I called Christopher Missiaen with a quick question pertaining traffic violations and he was nothing but honest and upfront with me. He could have taken my money without mentioning the 50/50 shot I realistically had and I just unknowingly roll the dice. I’ll trust and recommend any lawyer who doesn’t take advantage of people knowing theres really nothing he can do to guarantee a win for a client.

Milan was very easy to talk to and get advice on a business proposal. He broke it down and explained pros/cons so that I left his office able to make a final informed decision that I feel good about! Ethan, office manager, is equally pleasant and I’ll be scheduling with them again the next time I need business or estate planning legal services. Thank you both!

Absolutely amazing, A+! Peter Carini is the first and only attorney I've ever contacted who actually answered his own phone - immediately, on a Sunday. As a paralegal, I can't even begin to tell you how rare that is! I was fully expecting to reach his office voicemail and maybe (probably never) get a call back from his receptionist to schedule a paid consultation the following week.
Except Peter not only answered what must have been his cell phone (unless he was in the office working on a Sunday!), he listened to me without interruption and offered consice insight into my civil legal matter based on his experience and knowledge of the legal process. (Note: This is not the same as legal advice and does not constitute an attorney-client relationship. That's my FYI, not his.) He was totally straightforward as to whether it would be worth my while to hire him and explained how I could instead advocate for myself.
Peter is an exceptionally honest and decent human being, and I am so thankful he answered my call. After speaking to him for 7.5 minutes, I felt hopeful again about a situation that was intimidating and seemingly hopeless. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Peter!

I was arrested near the southern OR coast and charged with DUII, reckless driving, and eluding (a Class C felony). I hired Mr. Carini based on a referral from a local attorney that he was "superlative" for Southern OR criminal defense.
The first step in my case was the Oregon DMV hearing. I faced the prospect of losing my license for a year because I had refused a breathalyzer test. During the hearing, however, Mr. Carini observed that the police had improperly handled my request for a lawyer during the arrest. This observation led to the hearing officer throwing out my license suspension.
After this, Mr. Carini negotiated with the prosecuting attorney to drop the reckless driving and felony eluding charges (a great relief) and got me into DUII diversion at my first appearance. Peter walked me through each step of the diversion requirements until I completed it after 12 months.
Consequently, the end result of hiring Mr. Carini was all charges dismissed and no license suspension. I couldn't recommend Peter more highly for criminal defense in Southern OR.

I payed 5k for help in my divorce case. They showed up to court once and then dropped me after they said I was gonna lose my case. I had cops and dhs backing me up and they did nothing. They then filed stuff on my behalf after dropping me and changed me for 3k. They then sued me and I didn't know I even had to go to court because they sent it to my old address... they are a scam and I hope they get shut down.

Bad service. Will cancel your appointment after waiting for weeks to tell you they can’t take your case. Everyone is clueless and aren’t able to provide any information. Unacceptable for anyone to go through this after depending on them and assuming they would see you. Do not recommend this place for anyone.

My mother (who is 82 years old) approached him when she was advised to file a petition for guardianship & conservatorship for me (which, in and of itself, is ludicrous). She did so because he was already her attorney, having drawn up her will. However, he never even met with her in person, leaving it to his assistant (a paralegal, I presume).
Secondly, once she did approach his office (knowing little to nothing about what the process entailed, let alone what the ramifications were), they never explained to her what guardianship or conservatorship meant, the legal process involved, the ramifications would be for her (let alone me!!!!!). They did not even tell her how much they would charge, whether there would be a retainer fee or whether they charged by the hour.
Now that I have legally filed an objection to her petition and she has been made aware of what this really means (thanks to other people, including myself!), she told her attorney she wished to withdraw her petition. Broesder's office, however, urged her to continue the petition in spite of this, telling her that if she didn't go through with it, it would "cost her far more money" if she were ever to file it again.
I, in the meantime, contacted an attorney to find out what my legal options were (especially since, although I have requested Jackson Circuit Court to appoint an attorney for me-- especially in view of the fact that money is an issue for both my mother and me...) who informed me that the whole petition was ludicrous and I needed to have my mother withdraw the petition ASAP (my hearing is scheduled for Sept 23!!!). My mother called Broesder's office that very afternoon (two days ago), spoke with the same assistant (Melissa), who informed her that her office would be "impossible" (!!!) to withdraw the petition unless my mother coughed up the $2000 she owed them!!

The worst and most incompetent lawyer i have ever ran into. he represented us in california. During trial he stayed mum and all the facts of case he prepared for 5 years, he forgot and made me loose my whole life savings. We r still suffering from the wounds he gave to us.
Sorry but i have every page of the case in my possession to prove his brightness.

I give this guy no stars. He is by far in my opinion the worse lawyer i have had to watch in court. I have seen many many lawyers at work but none that I know of who was this incompadent. He lost our case against an entire family of felons. When we hired him he was like no problem I am going to Reem him. Then he left town numerous times with out any notice. Refused to take our phone calls and once again my opinion just put his tail between his legs and gave up like a scared dog. PLEASE,please DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY. You are better off with a public pretender. He cares nothing about his clients.

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.
