That’s what you are getting when you ask Wilton Strickland to draft a brief for you. Wilton’s research is always (always) thorough and his writing is always clear, logical and persuasive and never dry. He will collaborate with you to whatever extent you desire.
His critique of the weaknesses and strengths of opposing counsel’s memorandum is invariably top-notch.
Besides freeing you to focus on other tasks, filing a Strickland-written brief (over your name) increases the respect opposing counsel will have for you. No small thing.

When I first contacted Mr. Strickland, I was a pro se non-attorney who couldn’t afford a lawyer, and was determined to proceed anyway. I did what learning I could through free search engines like Leagle, but I couldn’t organize my pleadings until I got Wilton’s help. I wound up with some success (I had an uphill battle), which was more than anyone thought I’d have. Thank you so much for all your help!

I am an attorney who hired Wilton as a consultant on a case that I was litigating in his state. He has assisted me for the past 18 months with research, strategy and pleadings. He responded very quickly to all of my emailed requests for assistance (often within the hour) and, when he could not respond immediately, typically emailed me back to tell me when he would be free.
Wilton provided great research and well-written pleadings, as well as brainstormed about strategy. I'm very grateful for his assistance and highly recommend him to anyone, whether client, or attorney.

Matt did a terrific job helping us with our case. He showed abnormally great patience with us even when I was kind of a pain in the neck and offered a lot of support and wisdom. I hope to never end up in the situation we were in again, but I would definitely use him to handle it if I did.

Martin and the rest of the team were amazing help in a less than desirable circumstance. While we are never ready to lose a loved one, they were amazing in making sure I was taken care of and understood all of the processes in taking care of my fathers Estate Probate. I would highly recommend Martin.

Martin was quick and easy to work with. He consulted on a TV\Film copyright infringement and drafted a letter that resulted in an agreeable settlement. I went through several law firms in the area, he was one of the few that said he could help. It seems there are few IP\Entertainment lawyers in the area. If we ever have a dispute again, we'll be sure to reach out to him.

I have used Worden Thane in the past, Reid was recommended by one of the partners in the firm for a consult on a case involving my home and a renter who did a substantial amount of damage to my property. Total damages so far $4500. Judge in Sanders County, MT ruled against me in small claims court. My only avenue was to appeal. Reid answered all my questions about the appeal process and the lengthy, expensive hearing that would no doubt follow. He was well versed in the law and the code which was used in the judgement against me. While I ended up having little to no recourse to recover the money Reid was generous with his time and was very helpful in my decision to not go forward with appeal. He did not rush me and encouraged me to look at the larger picture of the appeal process as well as the small amount of money I stood to recover from this horrible experience. I trust this man's honesty and his opinion.

Matthew McKeon is at the top in my book. His legal acumen is impressive, along with his ability/willingness to translate everything into layman’s terms for me. He’s non-judgmental, responsive, and I was kept in the loop during the entire process; I felt like he took a genuine interest in my case. He’s well-prepared and aggressive, yet tactful and charismatic at the same time which is what drove the results in my case. Great outcome, great attorney! I’ll come to him with any future legal issues.

I hired Andrew to probate my mother's estate. Though it was a fairly small estate, it still presented some headaches and Andrew always took time to guide me through the actions I needed to take to settle matters expeditiously and amicably. He can be a bit difficult to reach, especially around tax deadlines, but generally got back to me within a day. I found him easy to work with and good about clarifying any issues or concerns I had.

It has been a year since Amy represented me and I still firmly believe it was the best decision I have ever made. She prepped me for every possible outcome. She told me the tough things even if I didn’t want to hear them. Her and David work so well together I would never hesitate to recommend their representation. If you want someone to hold your hand with soft fuzzy mittens, it’s not Amy. If you wanna throw down and get to the nitty gritty of what the case is and be prepared for A, B, C and D, Amy’s the best at it.

If you need somebody to go to bat for you, Sean Bracken is your man! We just worked all day long to settle a case, and he fought every inch of the way to get everything fairly distributed. I was so scared my house was going to go into a foreclosure and I was going to lose everything, but with the help of Sean, I no longer have that on my shoulders! I couldn’t be happier and couldn’t recommend Sean Bracken law more to anybody! thank you so much

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.
