While I strongly dislike writing poor reviews, I feel an ethical obligation to warn the public about this law firm. Simply put, John Machulak has no communciation skills. The reason I am giving him 3 stars is ONLY because of his administrative assistant. She is his saving grace. She has fantastic communication skills and an amazing work ethic. However, there is only so much she can do. There was no strategy meeting, no set goals/deadlines, emails/phone calls were constantly ignored and I was never coached for arbitration. The day before arbitration (while I was trying to board an airplane to attend the arbitration) attorney Machulak expected me to be able to review and go through evidence for the following day. How am I supposed to do this 33,000 feet up in the air? Everything with him is extremely last minute and then he expects you to drop whatever you are doing and respond to him immediately after ignoring you for days. He clearly demonstrated a lack of respect for my time repeatedly. Billing is extremely confusing. Invoices are very difficult to read, not itemized by hour and not provided in a timely manner. I asked for a current balance the morning of arbitration and he was unable to provide me with one. I asked for paid receipts for bookkeeping and still have not received any. I finally received a huge invoice that I was unprepared for (because it was never communicated with me what he was working on) weeks after arbitration was over. This past 1 1/2 years have been the most stressful of my entire life and working with attorney Machulak made it twice as stressful as it needed to be. It was a favorable outcome, however, a lot of last minute stress could have been avoided, many billable hours could have been saved, and the arbitration could have been MUCH shorter had he simply held an hour strategy meeting with me well in advance to go over evidence and properly prepare for the day.

Awful experience! Michael End and staff has caused just as much pain as the traumatic event in which we sought their help. Do not use this law firm! Michael End is negative and unmotivated with no remorse in how he treated me and my family. This entire law firm should be ashamed! If need more information, feel free to message me. Don't make the same mistake I did. I didn't have a good feeling about Michael End from the start and I should have listened to my intuition.

My attorney Chris had show nothing but professionalism but at the same time the pitbull I needed with handling and tackling issues head on while keep a cool calm demeanor in the process since the day I met him over a year ago when he was with the last law firm. Mallery and Chris go hand and hand ans they make a great team. I knew front the moment I met Chris a year ago he was definitely the attorney for me. Super glad I I followed him over to Mallery and one of the best choices that I've could have made. I got a great offer on the table and I couldn't have done it without my attorney's team being involved. I look forward to keeping Chris as my attorney in the future with me and my wife's business affairs on the horizon and keep Mallery as our legal team. Thank you guys you are definitely appreciated. Great job! Keep up the great work!

This Guy “Micheal Winters” was very rude, had no intentions on being any help. I was rushed off the phone and the purpose of getting a consultation is because someone lacks the knowledge, so to knock someone down for trying to get answers is very unreasonable and rude. This man should not be in this business, definitely not a people person.

Attorney Holiday saved my job a few years ago when she worked at Cross Law firm. She cares about her clients and is very knowledgeable about the law and made it very clear and concise about my rights in the case and what was being violated by the employer. It is not about money with her, she worked with me on a payment plan that made it possible for me to retain her legal help. She really cares about helping people and will fight for you until justice is served. An outstanding attorney and an awesome person! Attorney Holiday ROCKS!

Told her I wasn't interested in pursuing a certain tactic but she said that was the first step which I later found out wasn't true after over $2k in fees. Was a waste of my time and money. She dangles hope of representing you in court on a contingency basis but then drops you after the hourly work is done that she talked you into. I have seen other reviews saying similar things.

If i could give a -10 I would!! If you want to lose custody, get supervised visits, have someone take 5000.00+ for a retainer, not file paperwork timely, use inappropriate case law for family law, sign your name electronically on paperwork you've never seen or approved of, doesn't return calls, doesn't return emails, doesn't return texts, doesn't file subpeonas or have them served properly, costed me more in attorney fees from my ex, wont file paperwork to fix his screw ups- then THIS is your kind of attorney! His office manager Souvit Townes is just as horrible as he is. The judge actually suggested I file a legal malpractice lawsuit against him. We had court on the 13th of December, and as of today Jan 2nd- not one response from him, no court paperwork has been sent to me nothing. I can call from my number 10x and no answer, but I can call from a different number and the office will answer. I tried firing him and asked him to electronically withdrawal from my case, and he can't even withdraw from my case! HE IS A NEGLIGENT ATTORNEY! He blames the court system, judges etc. I've given him an opportunity to right all of his wrong doings by filing an appeal- and I got NOTHING! STILL NOTHING, AND MORE NOTHING. If the judge did something wrong (Honorable Lynott- Racine Court System) then file the appeal, go above and beyond- i thought you were supposed to represent me and my family? Not fold and cower and run away... I guess a lawsuit is the way I have to take since I can't even get him to withdrawl/file a completion and opt out which is delaying my appeal as the court house wont accept any filings from me without him removing himself!

I'm incredibly grateful for the guidance I received from Attorney Jada Davis. Her support, organization, and quick resolution made an invaluable difference. She was always on top of everything, highly responsive, and made sure my voice was heard. She truly listened to my concerns and what was important to me. Her unwavering dedication and commitment spoke volumes. If you're looking for an attorney who is compassionate, professional, and highly effective, I can't recommend her enough. Thank you for making such a difficult process feel manageable and for helping me achieve an outcome I never thought possible!

Very weak in dealing with opposing attorney. After months of calls, emails, a court trial for a municipal matter, we ended up back at the original stipulation/penalty. Cost us thousands in wasted money on a lawyer only to have to pay the original fine. She was weak in dealing with male attorneys and municipal staff. Disappointed.

Hired him before I knew about disciplinary action against him. Now Richard has now facing another disciplinary action. Heed the warning signs! Richard is unprepared and gives in to the other side. He will not fight for you. We too had to hire another attorney to undue the damage he caused in our case!

As my attorney, he was not interested in focusing on the details of my case but rather laws in general. Every case is different. He didn't know the specifics of my case while we were in court. Unprepared.

The overall experience was very bad. I ended up having to hire someone else. Proceed with caution.

Unimpressed with the way this attorney talked to us during pre-trial hearing. He got agitated quickly when after a minute we still hadn't made a decision on accepting his offer or going ahead with a trial. Seriously a minute to make a decision and he escalates to degrading talk loud enough for others in the room to hear. This guy has no patience or respect for other people. I would never hire him.

Over the course of a few months, Duffin promised me to do a task that, honestly, didn't require more than a couple hours of work. He became busy with other work, and kept putting mine off. Then, finally, as he became overwhelmed with other work, he simply dropped mine. Had he said he wasn't interested in the beginning, I could have gotten another lawyer. It was an extremely time-sensitive matter. My conclusion: he cares about some of his clients, maybe, and others don't merit even the time of day. On a previous matter, he simply forgot to do something else that he indicated to me he had done. For months, I was exposed to a contempt of court violation without my knowledge. And, had I not given up on Duffin and gotten another lawyer, I could have ended up in prison.

This women will literally lie to you Saying you don't have a case in order to shirk work. Text book gold-brick . She will go as far as even trying to persuade you with erroneous information to convince you to not appeal your case. She represented my guy Curtis Brown and ended up causing a mistrial due to her ineffective performance. This poor man is doing 34 years in prison due to her negligence. I ask for my casefile and she won't even give me documents that negate my guilt. Marcella you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself.. When confronted by the Office of Lawyer regulation about emails that allude toward prosecutoral misconduct being withheld. She literally ignored me. Public defender Marcella depeters is the epitome of what's wrong with America's justice system. Shame on you.

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.
