I have known Andrew for over 10 years and he has assisted me on several different matters. Andrew sent a cease and desist letter on a corporate matter and was successful in shutting down the other side. When I was attacked by a dog while delivering he was able to get me a settlement for my injury. He is both professional and personable at the same time. I believe he truly cares about his clients. I know I can count on Andrew to assist me when I call. I refer business to Andrew every chance I get .

Ms. Abbasi advised on and completed Estate Planning, Wills, and End of Life Planning for several members of our family. She also completed several business documents, including Quit Claim Deeds, Operating Agreements and LLC formation. Her explanations and guidance through the process was invaluable and easily understood. We found her pricing to be lower than other comparable offerings for the excellent service we received. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her exclusively for future legal needs.

I cannot stress how much of a lovely experience I had with Danielle Feller at Daly Mills. I had gone to another attorney before her and basically paid $1500 to be told they couldn't help me. Danielle cleaned up that mess and completed the rest of the estate work. She was amazing at communication. I not once had to reach out and request her follow up. She is also just a kind and easy to work with person. I've not worked with many attorneys in my life but I was nervous about the whole thing. She took a mess of a situation that had been stressing me out and exhausting me for the better part of a year + and resolved it. While I hope I never need help with estate matters again, I cannot reccomend this law office enough. If you want a competent attorney who is also thorough and kind, this is the place.

Mr Benton is one of the best attorneys I’ve ever dealt with and as a former police officer in Charlotte and NYC I’ve dealt with a lot of attorneys. He handled several family law matters for me. He is extremely prepared for each case and is extremely professional. I would highly recommend Mr Benton for any matter he practices. I’m extremely thankful and grateful for his guidance and handing of the matters. I recommend him to anyone who asks me for an attorney.

During my search for representation in divorce and family law, I came across Jones Childers Donaldson & Webb Attorneys at Law. I saw they had phenomenal reviews, and decided to schedule a consultation. Abbie Pedroza was the attorney I met with, and I have been nothing but impressed with my experience. During our initial consultation, Abbie very thoroughly went through all of my options, and we collaboratively decided how to proceed with my divorce and child custody needs. She was incredibly knowledgable, and I was confident that she would help me with all of my needs. We went ahead and completed a separation agreement and child custody agreement, and have gotten those finalized promptly. Abbie always explained things so well that I rarely had any questions afterwards, and if I did, she was quick to answer. Words cannot explain how deeply appreciative I am of Jones Childers Donaldson & Webb, and especially of Abbie Pedroza for helping me navigate a time that once felt impossible. I trust them with all of my legal needs.

Not very professional, nor in the digital age. Postal mailed the payment instead of wire transfer SMH. Watch out for hidden fees, charged an extra $75 just to have seperate signings. Tell your realtor to NOT use these guys for closing lawyers.

Judy, you were the angel I needed from Jesus himself. Please don’t be modest. Do not let her prestigious college degrees fool you. She does not show her privilege. The sacrifices she made and must have made over the last 31 years for humanity is unheard of. She doesn’t do it for riches but love for her fellow human. God, Jesus will reward her with many mansions, forty twenty year old virgin studs while she bathes in cash. You rocked Judy! You are the best ever. Thank you thank you thank you! You are a saint among saints. God loves you, Judy! When she speaks on morality and ethics there is no higher.

Vicki is the best attorney I have ever worked with. I would give her 100 stars if that were an option. She treats her cases with the most care and concern that any client could hope for. I currently have full custody of my son because of her tremendous work and professional dedication. She is beyond fair on what she charges which is another added bonus. I very seldom leave reviews but hiring her has been life changing for my family. I feel so blessed that I picked up the phone and called her. If you want the best of everything, she is the Attorney you will want representing you.

The only reason they got one star is because google won't let me give 0. Victoria Boone is one of the worst family law attorneys I have dealt with. She is clueless, she doesn't listen, she did nothing for the money I spent. Worst money I have ever spent. Completely clueless attorney. I would run as far from this law firm as possible unless you want an attorney who will give in to opposing counsel and just roll over. Huge waste of money and time. If you care about your kids stay away from this law firm.

With tremendous support from Erin and Debbie, Mrs Boone was able to command the difficult and stressful audience of litigation and exude the prowess of a seasoned and confident professional. My heartfelt gratitude to Cliff and his team for closing this painful chapter in the book of my life and ensuring a future filled with bright new beginnings! I highly recommend this amazing team!

Came to court late, unprofessional, and unprepared. Didn't even bring with him a copy of a document that was crucial to our case and I don't think he'd had it admitted beforehand even though I had ensured he had the document weeks prior to the case.

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.
