I was involved in an auto accident and hired Mr. Erhart to represent me. He spoke in terms I could understand and explained the Minnesota no-fault laws to my family. He fought to obtain a reasonable settlement, a settlement I thought was fair. Mr. Erhart and his staff were always available for questions, and I felt at home at his offices. I had all the confidence in the world that he do his best to obtain a fair settlement. He also helped my husband and I to plan our estate after my personal injury case was settled. I would highly recommend Mr. Erhart not only in personal injury cases, but also in business law, estate planning, probate, and real estate.

William Erhart and his team provided an amazing experience from start to finish. It was evident Mr. Erhart has built his firm around providing superior customer service. The moment I engaged Erhart and Associates during my free consultation I knew I was in good hands. The ongoing communication relieved any/all anxiety I had around my legal issues. Mr. Erhart told me to concentrate on my work and family life and he would handle my case. His 30+ years of experience and foot print in the legal community aided in the positive result received in trial. Overall I am extremely thankful I chose to work with William Erhart. His firm exceeded all expectations I had and allowed me to put my troubles behind me. After my case was resolved I referred several individuals to Erhart and Associates and they all had a great experience and outcome. i can't thank Mr. Erhart enough for the services he provided!

Geordie is amazing! He stepped in during one of the hardest times in my life. My mother passed away unexpectedly without a will and due to our circumstances the court decided we needed to go through formal, supervised probate. I was lost but the moment I met Geordie I knew I had a compassionate, knowledgeable and reliable partner to lead me through the craziness. It took over 9 months to go through the probate process and Geordie was there every step of the way. He even found precedents and rules other lawyers knew nothing about to ensure my family had the best possible outcome to a stressful and emotional situation. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer!

We went to George to have an Estate plan done for my mother and I could not be more pleased with the service he provided and the job he did! George is professional but also warm, kind and has a sense of humor that makes serious things easy to do! Gathering the information he needed was the hardest part of the process and even that was pretty easy. He worked quickly and efficiently and was able to meet all our needs. Having this done gives us peace of mind and having it done so well is invaluable. I can recommend both George and his work highly!!

Jillian K. Duffy is reliable, trustworthy and will get great results for you. She set me at ease from the first moment we discussed my case. I never once felt inconvenienced and was able to move along with my life as the case progressed. We worked together through mediation and then again in court, with great success! I’m going to be completely honest here, Duffy is often one of, if not THE smartest person in every room she enters. Having her as your lawyer will ensure that your case is handled with the upmost of care and consideration, alongside a razor-sharp intellect. I doubt she loses often; she even educated our judge (politely, of course) on a few cases to back our stance up; cases that he later used in his findings. If I ever find myself in need of a lawyer again, my decision will be simple, Jill Duffy, we are 1-0 so far! Thank you again for everything you did for me!

Jillian is a fantastic lawyer. A co-worker referred her to me and I could not be happier with the service I received. I retained Jillian to help me navigate my divorce in 2017. She is proactive, smart, responsive, honest, straight-forward and aggressively looked out for my best interests. Jillian was able to convince my ex-husband (and his lawyer) to agree to a settlement that worked for both of us and avoid a long, drawn out court battle. I have already referred Jillian to other friends that need a great attorney and I will continue to recommend her.

J. Dudley kindly helped me resolve a case involving supposed 'damage' to an Avis rental car at DLH airport, and he was efficient, professional and timely in his response. Although I am sure it was a minor case for him, monetarily, it was a major headache and financial set-back for me when I received a claim after returning a rental car that there were 'scratches', which included a large, unreasonable bill for repair, LOU and administrative fees regardless of the fact I had photos of the car upon return showing no damages that I had caused, and an eye-witness who also verified in writing that there was no damage to car. Avis customer service dept. would not help me as they claimed that car was independently owned, of which I was never forewarned by Avis or Priceline, and only later learned that company had terrible BBB ratings and multiple complaints by clients for claims of supposed damage to cars after return. I had no leverage to deal with the rental car owner, but J. Dudley resolved the matter in 1 week and the claim was cancelled, which was a huge relief for me. I had felt powerless against a huge rental car company who unscrupulously tacked on various large fees for supposed scratches after car had already been returned undamaged to Avis airport parking lot, and was very grateful for Mr. Dudley very quickly eliminating this claim. I also appreciated that he has a sense of humor, acts human, and treats his clients with respect and concern.

I was impressed with Joe Dudley the first time we spoke on the phone; he returned my call the same day. From our first conversation, I had confidence that I was in “good hands” with his expertise. He is a very professional, genuine, trustworthy down-to-earth person. The legal counsel he provided regarding a very challenging vendor contract dispute was spot on. I could tell he really cared about my situation. I am grateful for meeting Joe through these circumstances and thrilled to say that we won the dispute! I highly recommend him, as he will be our contact for any legal needs in the future.

In 2012, my husband and I were in a bad car accident that landed us in a level-1 trauma center in Minneapolis. Only a few hours after arriving I received a call from my nephew, a prominent lawyer in Philadelphia (PA), who instructed me not to speak with any lawyers until he found me "the best" in the Cities -- and he was true to his word. John Dornik came highly recommended and has certainly lived up to his reputation. Not only did John prove himself to be a deft negotiator with a masterful grasp of injury law, he is a warm and compassionate human being who never thought twice about making himself available to help us navigate the endless medical and disability forms, or to simply offer a word of encouragement or advice. It is no understatement to say that I'm not sure what we would have done without him! And when it came to negotiating the settlement, he made sure we understood the process and that he had a clear idea of our goals. With the insurance company, he was firm and reasoned. In short, John Dornik truly is the best!!!

We were referred to John Lamey through another law firm for his expertise in chapter 11 bankruptcy. Naturally, we were very nervous about the whole bankruptcy process, but John quickly put our nerves to rest. John is extremely knowledgeable, patient, professional, yet calm and is able to explain complex legal matters/concepts in a way that is very easy to understand and digest for the average person not legally trained. John Lamey's fees are extremely fair; his negotiation skills with creditors' attorneys are second to none; and he and his staff are very responsive to communications. We would absolutely—without doubt nor hesitation—HIGHLY recommend John Lamey to anyone needing legal assistance through the otherwise complicated and bewildering bankruptcy process.

Jim and his team have been there for me since I was a juvenile and got hit by a person texting and driving. Since then Jim and the team have prepared documents for both my wife and I regarding our Wills. They have also had the Oporto represent me in two other no-fault accidents. Highly recommended for personal representation and sound judgement/advice regarding civil issues.

Can’t say enough about Mr. Reichert and his awesome crew. Called about some potential contractual work - although he doesn’t specialize in what I needed specifically - he even went out of his way to help me find someone who was reputable and worth my time. All within 24 hours. Thank you again!

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.
