Terrible unethical case churning attorneys. Create more damage and conflict in family law. Been dealing with this firm since 2017. They defame character with parents and hurt children's desires. Selfish hurtful people.

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 want somebody to represent you to the fullest and is very sharp and quick to the point, Amy is amazing! She was so good I actually felt bad for my ex in court through a divorce and custody hearing because she laid it out on the line!
Cutthroat and dry!
I'd recommend her for anyone... You rock Amy!

Adam and Greg helped me get through what felt like an never ending situation. Both were straight forward and strategic in the processes. Helping me map out what I wanted the outcome to look like and what all of my options were. It was a very complicated situation that they handled it at ease. While anything involving lawyers is extremely stressful they helped me find peace of mind. What mattered most to me is that they are honest and trustworthy. Without their help I would be in a very different place. Plus their duo dynamic is unmatchable.

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

I hired Sean and it took 2 years to get results because he literally did nothing for an entire year. This could have been resolved so much faster. I had to push him to get it done. Would not recommend. He is nice but not timely.

Troy Bentson recently helped me complete a complicated real estate transaction and I couldn't be happier with the services and the outcome. Troy jumped in late on a transaction that was at risk and likely headed to litigation and he and his staff worked round the clock on not only the legal aspects of the deal, but more importantly the surrounding contextual factors (a contentious divorce, potential conflicts of interest, and a number of personality issues) to get the transaction to a quick and successful close. Troy is a great combination of legal expert together with a can do, success oriented, people person and negotiator. I am indebted for the great work that he and his firm did for me and I would highly recommend them without reservation!

I just called up there asking to speak with an attorney about some issues I’m having with the landlord. What I picked up from the phone call was because I was not the landlord they weren’t interested in talking to me they said they had no one that can help me or talk to me . So based on my phone call I would never refer these people To anyone. The lady to pick up the phone was very rude

I settled a bill with Cb1, but they claimed I still owed them for another bill. I clearly explained that I was starting a new job and needed to pay a few more bills before being ready to contact them. They initially agreed, but then, without my knowledge, they, along with the William investigation firm, withdrew money from my bank account around the holiday season.

Lori is a super smart, detail-oriented attorney. She is one of the best in the state and at a price that is highly competitive. She is a fierce advocate and knows how to look at all the aspects of your case because she can really do it all. Harshbarger law is a one stop shop for everything a family or individual could need. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Very encouraging at the outset then doesn't follow through. Expensive but doesn't deliver the service, didn't follow through, the client still trying to bring closure on her own (settlement). When we meant to settle final bill with this attorney neither she or her office help could decipher the bill they presented to us. During the deposition meeting this attorney was completely out lawyered was of no help to her client. Client asked for final papers and was told by law firm to print them off herself, client never received hard copies from law office

I was contacted by Alanah in a rude and unprofessional manner right off the bat due to one of her clients wanting something from me (which I do not have legal rights to sign off on in the first place). She stalked me on facebook to discover where I am living and other personal information before contacting me to begin with. She attempted blackmailing me with threats of spreading lies in my local newspaper about me. She stated that she knew that future employers could see the negative article in the news and that it would effect my whole life negatively. It was intentional. I ended up signing the papers so she would stop trying to blackmail me. She is now claiming that the document was not notarized (which it was. I signed at the bank and had it notarized.) and is now resuming her rude, blackmailing tactics for no reason. This has gone on for months.

Ms. Griffith did very sloppy work for my family. We were selling land and she would have spelling mistakes on names, wording mistakes in the contract and didn't do work in a timely manner. We missed two closing dates because of it. She even gave us bad legal advice. She said one person could sign a buy/sell agreement for the rest of us without us giving the person power of attorney to do so. Don't use her.

I hired Paul as a probate lawyer which i had absolutely no knowledge of. When a family member died and had some property that i was told had to go through probate, I was told that this would cost around $800.00. I also had a realtor working on the actual sale of the property. Paul acted like he was selling the nproperty, but he wasnt...When I would asked any questions there was no answers. When the property sold he took 6% just like the lawyer. Which he never had told me about. I had no knowledge that this would happen.

Mr. Terrazas did next to nothing and still managed to take $4100 from me. It started with a $600 consultation for about 30 minutes worth of work. When I agreed to hire him he asked for a $3500 retainer to get started. I had already written an extensive parenting plan for a custody battle and asked that he review and make changes as necessary. He passed the job to a young attorney who had recently passed the bar without telling me that he wouldn't be working on the case despite going that impression to get my retainer out of me. Over the course of several months I received 1 invoice with a few charges on there. It was at that point that I became concerned because there were a lot of billed hours for work on my plan that I hat seen no improvement on and the final draft was almost identical to what I had written. After weeks of not hearing from them the young lawyer calls to tell me that the other party had already filed months earlier and the work that had been done up to that point was moot because we'd instead be arguing against the plan that the other party already filed. It was basic law for them to check to see if anything had been filed but didn't. Then when I said, "OK let's go to court", Mr. Terrazas said that they could not represent me until I replenished my retainer as they had gone through it all. Again, they had done almost nothing and failed to send me bills documenting it to boot.
Instead of giving him more money I found another, fantastic lawyer. I wrote an email to Mr. Terrazas expressing my disappointment and frustration and told him I did not want his services anymore. His response (in there mail) was quite nasty and defensive and included was several pages of invoices he produced for the purpose of that letter so that he could say he have them to me as this could be considered a major issue with the ABA if it's proven that he doesn't keep clients abreast of the charges.
Bottom line, steer clear of this guy. In his case, his 35 years of experience is 35 years of how to slime his way into your wallet while doing as little as possible to earn it.

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.
