Mr. Falkner has provided me with excellent legal help to settle my father's estate and to also get my own affairs in order (will, powers of attorney, lady bird deed, health care advocate, HPPA Releases). I have always found him and his helpful office staff to be friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable. His fees are more than reasonable and he is generous with his time. He gives easy-to-understand and timely advice. He listens! He has also been willing to let me do whatever leg work and paperwork I can do on my own to save on fees. When my friends are looking for an attorney, I recommend Tom Falkner! All those derogatory attorney jokes do not apply to this guy!

Mr. Nathanson handled my divorce start to finish with a level of professionalism and competency that exceeded my expectations. I needed an attorney to communicate clearly and guide me through the process. Mr. Nathanson worked tirelessly to answer all of my many questions and prepared me for every step in the process. He negotiated a very fair settlement for me and ensured that my children were financially protected. I would highly recommend Mr. Nathanson for managing any divorce matter, simple to complex.

There's a difference between lawyers who know how to look up the law, and those who know it off the top of their head. Whims is the latter. He instantly caught something that the other side I think was completely unaware of. It ended up giving us a ton of leverage in a very satisfactory settlement. I would recommend him to anyone, except someone who might use him against me! LOL.

I made the unfortunate decision to drive after drinking. I was charged with OWI with high BAC. (.19, and .17) After talking with several attorneys in the area, I made the decision to hire Robert. Robert took the time to get to know my personal accomplishments and not just the crime I committed. Because of his commitment and professionalism, my charge was immediately reduced. In addition, at my sentencing I was given non-reporting probation, and a 4 hour highway safety course. When I first contacted Robert I was facing a car installed breathylizer, possible jail, reporting probation, and community service. Robert also has the respect of the courts. Regardless of how many people filled the court room, Robert was always the first case the judge called. The judge made personal recognition of Robert, which put me at great ease. He is a family man, but also respected professional. He is involved in his community, and it is obvious everyone that works with him (judge, court employees, probation officers) has great respect for him and find him trustworthy. I would recommend Robert to anyone looking for an attorney with a wealth of knowledge and who can guide you through a difficult situation!

I recently hired Meaghan to help me with my estate planning. I had an idea of what I wanted to accomplish, however, I did not know “how to get there!” During my initial consultation, Meaghan listened to my dilemma. After asking some questions, she knew exactly the direction I wanted to go. Her kind and caring demeanor made it very easy to discuss my questions. I was extremely comfortable verbalizing my concerns with her. I am very happy with the final draft of my estate plan. I also am happy to have the confidence to know that if I need future counsel, Meaghan will be there for me. I highly recommend Miracle Law. Do not hesitate to seek the services offered. Meaghan and her staff are definitely Five Star Plus!

I was recently caught off guard with a motion against me from my daughter’s Father. Before I found Attorney Miracle, I called several firms and had multiple consultations with other attorneys who just seemed like they were out to take my money or give me a false sense of hope and tell me what they thought I wanted to hear instead of just being honest. I had a friend recommend Attorney Miracle and after our consultation, I knew immediately she was the one I wanted to represent my case and I don’t regret my decision. She was very open and honest with me from day 1 about everything. Attorney Miracle is very thorough with her work and I was very impressed. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to be my side throughout this whole ordeal. She’s extremely knowledgeable, professional, honest and compassionate. She put in a lot of time, hard work and energy towards my case and it really showed at our hearing. I couldn’t be happier with how well she represented our case. Attorney Miracle is truly one of the best Attorney’s around and won’t ever leave you disappointed.

She was very informative and explained in great detail about the process and made a stressful time less stressful. Being that she is licensed in MIchigan and Virginia law, she was a tremendous help to me being Dad lived in Michigan and I live in Virginia. I am very greatful for all of her help and guidance along this sad road in life we all must take at some point.

I intermittingly kept in touch with Darly via email over a few years, and he was compassionate, honest, always responded promptly and went out of his way to help my family. Sadly, we won't be able to complete this case due to health reasons, but Daryl's compassion, professionalism, and ethics are completely admirable! He is not only a fantastic knowledgeable lawyer, but as a man with monumental integrity, he helped restore my faith in humanity! He gives lawyers a good name!

From the first consultation, Daryl provided clear & straightforward answers. With his legal assistance, I was able to successfully obtain restricted driving priviledges after facing a 1 year implead consent suspension. His expertise was further validated by the fact that he managed to reach an agreement with the prosecurer without having to go on record during my circuit court hearing. He clearly performs his due diligence and has great knowledge of the SOS procedures and circuit court judges/prosecutors. Also, his no-nonsense approach is reassuring and inspired great trust. I will definitely recommend his legal services!!

He understood our particular needs, he was knowledgeable and full of genuine ideas to manage our estate.

I first met Kirk through a client. She was getting help revising an existing trust. I found his advice very practical, and was fairly priced. He was recommending what was best for her. So I had lunch with Kirk to learn more about him. Since then he's helped a number of my clients, and has done some work personally for my family. Kirk has been an excellent resource. When I come across an interesting estate problem Kirk has always been there, willing to lend professional guidance. As a Financial Advisor, one of the risks in recommending others is that they might do something wrong. Financially there is no direct upside for me, but there could be significant client relationship downside if the other professional makes mistakes or treats my client poorly. If all goes well however, then the bonds I have with clients are strengthened. They know I’m going beyond my job and making sure their estate is in order. And they see me as a resource to help them find the best people. They appreciate that I take the effort, and am looking out for their best interest. I’m very comfortable recommending Kirk. Not only is his attitude positive (greeting with a big smile and pleasant handshake), but also he is very good at his job. I know he’s living up to his reputation when I consistently receive ‘Thank You’ notes from my happy clients.

When I first met Jim I was facing a Domestic Assault charge out of Grandville Michigan. Quickly he went to work gathering information and staying in constant contact in order to dig at the case. His confidence picked me up when I felt very discouraged. I had a tremendous amount of pressure riding on the outcome of my case. While in jail he visited me and continued to hash away at my case. He gave me hope even when I had none. His confidence, dedication and hard work as a lawyer are all virtues that you would look for in representation. Above all else he was my friend when I had none. I give Jim a 10/10 and would recommend him AND his firm to anyone. Even his assistant Sydney is helpful and extremely friendly with every single encounter. If I ever run in to trouble again I know who to turn to. He saved my career in the military, my goals in law enforcement and my life. Thanks for everything Jim.

I came to Elizabeth 3 years ago with a pile of paperwork, a lot of stories and a drug addict mother of my son. After looking through my very unorganized evidence of what’s been going on for a few years, she explained to me that I have a case. She said with honesty that this is a very “different” case considering the drugs, alcohol, mental instability, etc and being able to prove all of this. She admitted that this kind of case is more rare than others but she would study all areas of everything going on in my case and represent me to the best of her ability. Now fast forward 3 years, tons of court dates in front of our referee and judge, a 2 day trial and even more court dates in front of our judge, post trial. I now have full custody of my son. He is out of harms way and is the happiest he’s ever been. Elizabeth went above and beyond. She accepted all my calls, she called me regarding issues and has fully been just as involved in every aspect of this case as I have been (which is ALOT). She has completly took it upon herself to further her education regarding the very “different” aspects of my case such as drugs, how the mom is beating drug tests while still being high, different affects from different drugs and alcohol, getting medical records showing the mental instability and much much more. NOT TO MENTION, I AM A DAD. We all know courts can be a little biased towards fathers. Thanks to Elizabeth Silverman, my son is safe and happy. It’s been a extremely long road but Elizabeth has been here for me every step of the way. Not only as my lawyer but as my advisor and even sometimes my therapist. All while seeming like a good friend. I would also like to add, Elizabeth only hires the best Paralegals there is in the state of Michigan. I could not write this post without saying how great they all are but especially Gina. Gina has been here for me for so much and was always just a call away to talk me through my troubles and help with anything I needed. If you want a great lawyer, with a equally great team behind her, to fight for you, Elizabeth Silverman is number one. I’ll stand by that until the day I die. Respectfully submitted, A very well represented father

Dear Elizabeth, It was my pleasure to have you as my lawyer and my counselor during my divorce trial. Having some ideas that divorce is very painful procedure, yet I could not even imagine that a person whom I considered my best friend and the most closed person (my ex-wife) turned into the bitterest enemy. Your professionalism, your excellent knowledge of judicial system helped me tremendously during the divorce trial. What impressed me, that you pay your attention to big issues, as well as to little or even tiny problems. It is your big role in Macomb County Court’s decision to award me not only with joint legal custody, but also with joint physical custody. (Later I found out that it is not often for men in Michigan to be awarded with joint physical custody.) Based on my experience, I can advise to person who is going to get divorce, try to avoid it. If there is no way to avoid divorce, then talk to your spouse, try to solve problem peacefully. But if it doesn’t work, I really can recommend person, who is facing divorce, use service of my lawyer Elizabeth Silverman. Elizabeth will do her best to get the very satisfactory (at least) results for her client. I really appreciate your huge help to me during the divorce trial and after divorce was finalized. Respectfully, Felix.

Elizabeth Silverman is my attorney for longer than ten years. Instead of boasting empty promises, she advocates for honesty and fairness; both hard to argue against. In court, she is magnificent. Elizabeth is determined to win your case by working with the judge and his court. Judges appreciate, that Elizabeth offers the root cause of her case to the court in simple but very effective terms, which saves time. She is the attorney you really want on your side. Elizabeth is very intelligent, caring and professional on every level. In particular, she feels the greatest pain and compassion for the real victims of every divorce, our children. She offers counseling for them as part of the divorce. Her rates are fair, but Elizabeth and Sandy deliver much more bang for your buck than most attorneys who charge the same. You can tell, I am very satisfied and I know you will be too. Elizabeth Silverman is a great attorney and her law firm has never let me down. Dave Dare, Royal Oak, MI 248-544-8834

Amanda represented me during my divorce and I am extremely happy with the final outcome. Any divorce is messy and scary - Amanda reviewed the facts of the complaint and then set about explaining the process and the steps that needed to be taken. Her obvious professionalism and knowledge were reassuring and provided the peace of mind I badly needed. My divorce had some messy sticking points (I considered them unreasonable demands) that had to be addressed during Mediation; this is where Amanda really shined. She clearly demonstrated her ability to think outside the box and offered some very innovative alternatives to the demands. The end result was a settlement that exceeded my most optimistic hopes. Throughout the process, Amanda has earned my respect and trust. Her professionalism, knowledge, creativity and personal standards are remarkable. I wholly endorse Amanda and recommend her to anyone who needs legal representation for any family law matter.

Mr. Stephenson has represented a number of my insured physicians (eight) through their medical malpractice trials and has done an excellent job in every instance. In each case, we received a favorable verdict, due in no small part to Michael's exhaustive pre-trial preparations and good calls during trial. He and his support staff/associates do a good job during discovery and kept everyone involved and informed. The physicians appreciate him and he does well with Juries and judges. I recommend him without hesitation.

My experience with attorney's is slow response and specifically response mainly when it benefits the attorney. If there is a need or status update attorney's do not prioritize such communication highly. However, Mrs. Bazzi was pro active, communicated frequently and often (even if only by email), explained everything to me thoroughly, and never lead me in a direction that I did not understand or want.

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.
