I had a wonderful experience with Banner Attorneys, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From my very first impression, I found their team to be incredibly kind-hearted and genuinely caring. They made communication easy and transparent, providing clear explanations of how they could assist me throughout the process.
I was fortunate to work with Attorney Brian, who was not only knowledgeable but also very approachable. His dedication to my case was evident, and I felt supported every step of the way. Additionally, Linda Miranda was always available to answer my questions and provide guidance, making me feel valued and heard.
Overall, I am truly impressed with the level of service I received. I feel grateful for their help and am confident that they are committed to ensuring that their clients receive the support and representation they deserve. I hope Banner Attorneys continues to assist many more people in need, as their compassionate approach makes a significant difference.

This is a terrible company. They don't communicate, and if you ask for an amendment, they won't do it, drag their feet, be rude on the phone. Don't let your elderly parents use them, they might die before anything gets done.

My wife and I (both seniors with several medical complications—my wife is 87 years of age and fell twice hitting her head while I have MS, among other problems) could literally not have navigated the legal negotiations that arose from my wife’s two falls without the incredible, caring assistance of all associates at the Law Offices of Steven Zwick. They were fantastic!

I hired Mr. Borchard for help on a couple regulatory matters, one within California, and one out of state. Both matters were very important to me. I was impressed by Mr. Borchard's commitment to my cases, and by his ability to understand the complex points involved. Both cases involved several complex factual situations.
We were able to achieve very good results in both cases. I would happily recommend Tom to anyone who has legal needs in civil litigation or regulation.

Ended up in litigation with Disney in Orange County. My first attorney was found feeding Disney inside info for his own gain. Even with all this against us, Mr. Borchard was able to turn it back around and we won!!! I have usede him ever since for all of my business matters. If you want a great attorney, one that you can trust, you want Tom. I am proud to not only have him as my attorney, but now a friend. Tom and his staff, went above and beyond.

Corey has helped my husband and me through getting out of a lease for our business, as well as me personally with several legal and ethical questions/concerns in my real estate business in regards to other Buyers, Sellers and other Agents. I am a Real Estate Broker and own my own company in the Mission Viejo area, and I am also a licensed Mortgage Broker. I continually look to Corey for legal advice and help when any of my transactions get to a point where I need help representing my client to the best of my ability. He has always handled everything extremely professionally and just the advice and/or a simple letter or e-mail from Corey has saved many transactions for me. I have never had to go further than that because he has always been able to solve my issues effectively in a short time, but I know that if I did require further assistance, Corey would be the one that I would want helping me through it all. I am truly lucky to have him on my side and would recommend him to anyone in the Real Estate business and other related fields. Thank you Corey for your outstanding knowledge and continued support!

I called this attorney based on a recommendation from a family member for advice on overtime and wage and hour issues I was having at work. She was very informed on the current state of CA and federal laws and gave me advice on how to approach my complicated situation. She called me to follow up on my concerns one week later and I thought that said alot about her concern about my situation. She did not charge me for the nearly two hours of conversation and insight she provided.

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.
