I was accused of harassment. I was scared and did not know what to do. I was fortunate to find Peter Johnson. He responded to my call for help immediately. He listened, calmed me and developed a defense strategy. He instructed me about gathering the appropriate evidence to support my case. Using this data he then negotiated with opposing counsel and had this case dismissed. I expressed worries that this person could manufacture future complaints against me. Peter advised me about dealing with unwanted contact (and will offer additional assistance) and steps I can take to keep safe. I am very grateful to Mr. Johnson and highly recommend him.

I recently worked with Peter I was incredibly impressed with his professionalism, expertise, and dedication to achieving a positive outcome. He explained the legal process clearly, kept me informed throughout, and was always available to answer my questions. Thanks to his hard work, I felt confident and ultimately received a very favorable resolution. I would highly recommend Johnson Erickson Criminal Defense to anyone seeking legal assistance in the Midwest area.

I've been contacting Blake Iverson for some time now. I had general questions about the legality of owning or pursuing a business in Minnesota. He's been great help all the way through with answering my questions. I have not scheduled a consultation with Blake, as I don't need to yet. But when I do, I'm definite that Blake will deliver more than enough needed in the time provided. Highly recommend Blake, if you need the help.

Blake has been incredible to work with. Fair minded, direct, and with a ton of experience to lean on in not just handling legal matters, but advice in handling general procedures for the benefit of a client. Hired a lawyer, ended up with someone that represented my interests in as many ways as he had the experience to support. All of the legal work he did was followed up with phone calls to ensure I had the best understanding possible of what was going on. Really a different experience from most attorneys I've dealt with. Will hire him again.

With Blake Iverson, you get a lawyer with impeccable credentials, a man with unimpeachable values, a friend with boundless integrity, a public citizen of laudable virtues, and a dude of abidable dudeness. He's just a hell of a guy. I was able to launch a publishing imprint only because of his counsel and belief and generosity with his knowledge. I more than recommend him. If I were to catch wind that you considered hiring him and didn't, we would have a problem. He's the only choice for legal counsel in Minnesota's creative community, and it's not even close.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience under less-than-ideal circumstances with worker’s compensation. Denise and Conrad were quick to respond when I had questions and explained every step very well. I contacted them after being jerked around by worker’s compensation insurance company for an injury. Denise helped me get more treatment that improved my injury and negotiated a good settlement. I would recommend them to anyone and would use them again in heartbeat!

Eric and his team were extremely careful with our story, details and approach. Eric was passionate about making sure I felt ready for the hearing and all the events leading us to the hearing date. I was so determined to be SOLID and tell the truth of our story. Our family needed this decision to go our way, we stuck together and we were honest in exactly what happened. Eric was extremely supportive, he listened and he worked hard to achieve the outcome we had hoped for. It was a lengthy process, but he never lost sight of details and our case needed to be heard the way it was. I trusted Eric immediately and I knew this would be a battle against a whole department of employees, a organization of professionals that are supposed to keep vulnerable adults safe. I am appalled at the way we were treated, accused and made to feel that we had done something illegal. That was NOT the case, and Eric and his team helped us prove our case. WE WON and we are proud of his dedication to us, and the outcome. Thank you all sincerely, we are so grateful.

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 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.

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.

- 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.
