I hired Doug to help me with a rather sticky property transaction. I could have not asked for better representation! Even though he was doing his reserve time, he called me on his free time to get the case going. He has a wonderful paralegal "Lena" who also was very helpful and kind. No matter how many questions I had, she always was patient and nice. The two work very well together and in a timely matter. I was very very satisfied!

Very happy with Mr. Fredrick’s representation of us in a property line dispute case. Responded to phone calls in a timely manner, didn’t rush through in-person meetings and made sure to answer all our questions. Negotiated a good deal for us quickly and in a cost-effective way leaving a good portion of our retainer unused. Highly recommend him!

Brian and his team got much better than expected results/ settlement for my wife and I.
His staff was always accessible and responded promptly to our every question and need.
Mr. Klar was personally involved from start to finish and 'always' returned phone calls directed to him promptly and professionally.
Mostly, he's an honest man who always 'took the high road' guiding us through some emotional situations...he runs a GREAT law firm!

Mr. Klar is not only a great lawyer, but a great human being. I am an international perso, and I was afraid that he would not understand me, but Mr. Klar took his time to listen and understand me. He was so nice that he even gave me his private cell phone number. His work as his attorney was phenomenal and I feel happy, and blessed to have found him. I recommend Mr. Brian Klar because he treats all of his clients with compassion and love, and he is always working until the case is successful.

Ken Siemens and all the employees of MTSE were extremely kind, compassionate, and professional for my personal injury case. They were not only concerned with my case but also were helpful when dealing with other aspects of my husband’s injuries. Anytime I had a question or concern, I received prompt, thoughtful and sensible advice. Their actions demonstrated the care and concern they had for what was best for my family. I have all the confidence that Ken and MTSE has the experience, prudence, and wisdom to handle cases like mine.

I have known Mr. Patton for close to 20 years, and he takes the time to understand my issue, proposes a course of action. He is usually available via text/email on the weekends. He has addressed and put issues I thought were a big deal down to size. He and his staff worked with me for the best solution, kept me in the loop, and then executed the plan. He is a really good lawyer. As recent as two weeks ago, Mr. Patton provided a solution to a real estate issue I had, and now that issue is resolved.

Mr. Patton and his staff are very professional, courteous, and prompt. They were instrumental in drafting us some legal documents within hours for an urgent matter. They even worked with us over phone and email since we couldn't visit them in person due to COVID-19. We are very grateful for their services and would highly recommend them.

Lee worked very hard to help me resolve my legal situation. He didn't mind my weekly calls or texts to ask for updates and was always courteous with me. He did everything he could and advised me through a stressful and delicate legal matter which could have had major negative implications on my life. He helped me immensely. I'm glad to have worked with Lee.

Leon and his team are extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and ethical beyond reproach. We experienced Leon and his team as honest, helpful and always on top of their game. We at no stage felt like a number or that they were only in it for their fees. Our interests were at all times put first.
Given Leon’s years of experience in his field he is very much in tune with the anxieties experienced by his clients during the immigration process and he never left us feeling insecure. Our enquiries were answered promptly and professionally. W can without reservation endorse this firm.

I highly recommend Leon Versfeld!
I hired Leon to apply for an EB1 green card as a specialist in my field. I had lots of anxiety about it being approved as it's one of the most difficult green cards to obtain, however it was approved in 7 weeks.
After becoming a permanent resident, my life and my business were never better and for 5 years I was counting the days to be able to apply for naturalization.
I hired Leon again to apply for Naturalization.
I am now a US Citizen! A lifelong dream!

Leon and his team have helped me with an L1 visa (as a one man business, I might add) and renewals of this visa since 2015, for a minor investment in processing and renewal fees, which over the entire period cost less than $100 000. My new renewed visa has just been issued and valid for another 2 years. So from 2015 till end of 2024 (total of 9 years), the investment is well worth it. Leon and his team are professional, thorough, and understanding. I highly recommend using them to navigate, what can otherwise be, a complicated process, where the correct guidance can be lacking from others. I am a fan of Leon and his team!

RoundTable Legal has been wonderful. They have helped me secure 3 trademarks and help with getting a copyright agreement. Cory Killburn has helped me greatly.

Corey did a great job on our trademark application. I am an attorney that practices in an other area of the law, and am glad that I worked with Corey Kilburn on our trademark application. This is something that you need an attorney with experience with Trademarks, otherwise you can waste a lot of time and money trying to do it yourself or with an attorney that does not work in this area of the law.

Dave resolved a problem I was having with the State Board of Accountancy. I called him the first time on the Friday before Christmas (Dec. 23). He was very helpful and easy to work with. He contacted the attorney for the State Board on my behalf and he kept me apprised of the status of my case. I would recommend him to anyone who needs representation before the State Board of Accountancy.

Dave took care of my expungement today. I contacted him 3 years ago when the situation took place. He told me everything I needed to do in order to make sure my expungement was successful. This was 3 years before I hired him! He wasn't even my attorney yet but took the time to make sure I was taken care of. He was always responsive, answer every question I had in detail. He was always on time and just very pleasant to talk to. If you need an attorney for anything Dave is the one for you to call you will not be disappointed. I am extremely satisfied with his service, if I ever need help with anything in the future he will be the one I will be calling.

I contacted several attorneys in Jefferson City and of the first two I spoke with neither were unable to take on cases but they both referred me to Mr. Barrett. From the first time talking with Mr. Barrett I knew that he was going to go the extra mile to help me. I am thankful I was referred to him and for all of his counsel and representation.

We were so happy with the services that Bob Linhares and his team provided. My husband and I went to him to get a will set up. He walked us through all of the options, explaining the pros and cons of each. Ultimately, we set up a trust to protect our children and our assets. Bob and team walked us clearly through each of the steps. He answered our questions and made the entire process so easy and worry-free.

I have been in several situations where I needed legal direction … another attorney pointed out that I wanted Phil Tatlow in my corner. That proved to be a winning selection. His ethical standards and legal ability are widely respected by his peers. Not only is Phil Tatlow is a great attorney and he is even a better man.

I have had to call upon the services of Mr. Tatlow/Bollwerk & Tatlow twice within the last few years for work related injuries. In both instances, he and his company went to work immediately on my case and took care of every aspect of the case(s) in a straightforward and professional matter. In my first case, my employers' attorney fought against a settlement, but eventually Mr. Tatlow's skills at the negotiating table won out, and I received a much higher settlement than I expected! In the second case, there was a settlement on the table within 6 months. I highly recommend Phillip Tatlow, along with his sister, Rebecca Tatlow (a recent addition to Bollwerk & Tatlow), for anyone requiring an attorney to fight for you against the large insurance companies.

My wife and I worked with Aaron Cook on our Estate (Trust, Wills, POA, Advanced Directive, etc.). Aaron was great to work with. He was very thorough. He listened carefully and took time to answer all of our questions in a manner that was easy to understand. He gave us advise throughout the process. And he was responsive to our phone calls and emails. I was very happy with the entire process and would definitely recommend him for any legal matters.

My attorney and consigliare for 39years Preston Cain retired. I had a situation, I requested his honor to "set matters aside" on a guilty plea 2 weeks earlier. Ms. Simpson accepted the case on site, had a plan, did exactly what she said she would and I did what she asked of me. I don't do "maybe get" or "think I can" or "Dont think that's possible". As my council the lady is half a head above the rest and she doesn't even know it! Only one..not a complaint but she needs to stand up when questioning, She has PRESENCE and Confidence she does not utilize. And love the dogs in the office!

If you want the best criminal lawyer in Kansas City, don’t hesitate to go with David Bell. I’ve spoken with several other firms in the area and no other attorney was as knowledgeable or as empathetic as David.
If you want an attorney who is responsive, experienced, organized, prepared, empathetic, intelligent, and communicative about costs, go with David. You’ll be lucky if he agrees to represent you. An added perk is that he is very funny and puts you at ease.

They were professional, polite, and were focused on helping me fit my unique estate planning needs. They explained why they recommended one avenue of asset transfer over another instead of simply recommending a more expensive route, and they explained why they thought one option was better than another for achieving my personal goals. Also, they were very straight forward with their pricing, and did not change any surprise fees after the fact and explained their pricing very honestly.

Dnr has been accepting operating permits for concentrated animal feeding operations even when it is shown they are acting against the peoples needs to protect themselves and their environmental natural resources from potential pollution . Stephen has represented us against this giant issue and has gallantly put every best effort to protect us from this potential pollution by appealing dnr and helping create positive reform and protection against these cafos. He has true grit and fierce determination . In the appeal hearing i felt Stephen could have been the teacher of the other attorneys. He is all about respect and focused on achieving the goals we set together. I strongly recommend Stephen ! As his client I am very impressed with his abilities to bring about positive change.

I would recommend him as an environmental attorney for any client or situation that requires the best but at a reasonable cost.

I just wanted to leave a note on the wonderful experience I had with Nancy as my bankruptcy attorney. Through the whole process she was very supportive and gave me all the information up front on what or what may not happen in the process. She was very informative and gave me suggestions on topics that she didn't directly do in role as attorney so I can make the best choices for myself. I would recommend her to anyone who are going through tough times. She was awesome.

After consultation with Nancy, I knew she would be the right Attorney to handle my chapter 13 bankruptcy. She is a true professional and very knowledgeable in all aspect of a bankruptcy case. She provided detailed guidance on how the process would proceed. Her attention to detail helped everything go smoothly in presenting to the Court what documents needed to be submitted in a timely fashion during the course of the bankruptcy. If you are thinking about filing for Bankruptcy I would highly recommend her as your attorney.

Ed, came by high recommendation of one of his past colleagues, to help me establish a solid estate plan for my growing family. His approach was very simple and communication effective in translating legal impacts of the planning process to best meet my personal needs. I'd highly recommend for anyone else who is considering needs to ensure their assets have a long range plan intact. Ed, was also very flexible in helping me get this done in the midst of a hectic work schedule...he made himself available as needed to maintain good forward progress to completion.

Ed handled my initial divorce, and a few years later, handled my case again when there was an attempt to modify the custody and support settlement. Through the course of three pre-trial conferences, he kept me informed and gave excellent counsel. At the end of the third conference, we attempted to make a settlement offer, which was denied. We ended up going to trial. I wasn't all that excited it went so far, though that was due to the other involved party and not Ed. When we got to court, Ed was extremely prepared. We had so much information available for the judge to review, significantly moreso than the other party. And when it came to questioning the involved parties, I felt Ed did an excellent job of getting to the point, asking the most important and relevant questions. The judge found completely in our favor, and I know that had everything to do with how well prepared Ed was, and how he presented all the information in court. I would highly recommend Ed.

Ed took over as my divorce attorney when I was not happy with my previous one. He immediately knew what had to be done. I was so confused with divorce laws, it's proceedings, the language and Ed Gilkerson was attentive and put me at ease with his ability to explain in terms for me to understand. Ed is very knowledgeable about the whole divorce process, it's laws and it's intricacies. He was always responsive to any of my questions throughout my divorce and I felt like I could trust him with my best interest.

He went out of his way and for an amazing low low price he gave me and my four children a peaceful exit from a very scary and difficult situation. Not to mention I've been working hard to get my credit up and this would have set us back years !

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 ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.

- 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.

- 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.

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. -

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.
