There are not enough words to convey what a blessing Mr.Emerson was for our family. He fought for my daughter on a college level to make sure her accommodations were legally met. When we called him to tell him all the hard work had paid off and she was accepted into her program, it felt like we had just told a family member. He was so excited for her and that meant so much to us. He has a true passion and love for what he does. I would highly recommend him. He's not just an awesome attorney but he's a wonderful, caring person. We just can't thank him enough.

Mr. Emerson was instrumental in helping me through a very difficult time with my school district. I would have been at a loss without him. I am now in a much healthier situation, mentally and financially! If you're in education or have an educational legal issue, he is your guy! I feel grateful and blessed to have had him on my side during such an awful time! Thank you!

He went out of his way to educate me on my situation and took the time to make sure I understood all aspects of it. Additionally, he went even further to provide resources needed. He is by far the best man for the job!

The best way to add to these superb (and accurate) reviews is by saying that Ross was originally hesitant to take my case against the major medical presence in our county as they have a stranglehold on everything. He evaluated my wrongful surgery, outlined options and included me decision by decision. I am thrilled with the results. Ross worked hard, professionally and smartly, answering my emails at all hours. He was meticulous about stating pros and cons and allowing me to be the final decision maker. And OMG, he has a sense of humor, can be really tough and is a pleasure to work with.

Ross is a terrific attorney. He displayed an excellent grasp of our case, the relevant laws and worked hard to win. More important, he worked "smart" for us, by allowing us to take on some otherwise costly tasks, considering our comments, and being realistic about the potential outcomes. He tailored his advice to the situation in a way most attorneys do not, so that the final outcome was cost effective and as favorable as it could have been.

My wife and I purchased our first home, and were takin advantage of by the contractor who flipped the house. We were subject to several costly and concealed construction defects. Ross Appel took our case. Ross fought hard to win us a reasonable settlement. He took an honest steadfast approach to our counsel. He openly informed us of all the challenges we would face throughout the process, a 100% no B.S. perspective. He then proceeded to defend our property. We are truly grateful to have Ross as our Attorney. We hope everybody is as fortunate as we are, to have such a focused, honest, talented, hardworking defender of Truth as their legal counsel. Thank you so much!

Having someone go the extra mile, when I wasn’t able to, made me feel much better about my involvement and my responsibilities related to a foreclosure matter against a series of large banks I was handling for more than 5 years. Ms. Gaddy’s high standards and attention to detail made the process and result something I can look back on happy that I was involved. I felt lucky to find someone who wasn’t content with knowing more than me she wanted to know more than all the experts involved and the Judge’s order indicates that she did. It was a tremendous relief to know that we shared the same goal for the result of the case. I looked like a hero when it could have gone a very different way. I regularly conduct business with people and I try not to get upset when someone values their payment over their performance but I truly enjoy when someone values their performance above all. Thank you Susan for making this the foreclosure equivalent of David VS Goliath instead of the basketball equivalent of Michael Jordan VS Damian Falcone.

Ms. Gaddy took real concern for my situation from the initial consultation forward. She laid out what was needed, cost, possible outcomes, contingency plans and probable outcomes in a clear and concise manner. I retained Ms. Gaddy late in the process as I was blindsided by a foreclosure hearing on my mother’s home. Ms. Gaddy dropped weekend plans writing answers, motions, and collecting information (all that legal stuff only lawyers know) to halt the proceedings. Her keen knowledge of South Carolina foreclosures and her experience with the complexities of the process were clearly evident as the tables turned after our first court hearing. I can't imagine going through it without Ms. Gaddy.

John Townsend Cooper is an exceptional Mari-Time attorney, which always had my best interest at the forefront of all things in my case. While I can't really speak of other cases but through the time we spent together, I can say that I feel I gained a friend through this experience that I was going through. John townsend cooper was very punctual, honest, well spoken even when situations were not so pleasent. John is also a very easy going, mild mannered man that showed me that that he's very tolerable with some unruly characters, even when I got a little outta hand, he has ways to shine a light of a calmer voice of compasion and very understanding that always seemed to bring a brighter side to what sometimes seemed difficult situations at the time. John always handled himself and my case with dignity and a since of assurance that no matter how things appeared, his knowledge and experience would prevail. Confidence in my opinion is a key thing to have, and his confidence really in my opinion is what projected my case to the victory that we experienced.

John Hughes Cooper PC is uniquely competent, professional and ethical. He is both the picture of toughness and civility. His intellectual savvy has tackled the most complex legal issues for me, while at the same time, never talking over my head. He always returns my telephone calls and responds quickly to my questions. He doesn’t just use past experience as his means for answering questions. He makes a practice of reviewing current law, and making sure that we are on solid legal grounds. He is my only choice for legal representation. I am so thankful I found him.

I consulted with Hal regarding several complex real estate matters. Hal had come highly recommended for the particular issues I was facing, and I was very pleased with how quickly he arrived at a feasible and straightforward solution to the matters at hand (in my experience, this typically does not happen during an initial consultation). I was relieved upon leaving our consultation, as I was equipped with a new perspective as well as expert advice. It would later happen that Hal's recommendations were very well-received. I feel very confident in Hal's abilities and will move forward with him as future matters arise. I should mention that Hal was the 4th attorney I have consulted with about this matter and was by far the quickest to offer a solution vs the "let me give this some thought" approach, which seems to always translate to a lot of back-and-forth as well as plentiful billed hours. Hal respected my time and I am appreciative of this.

Additionally, I consulted with him over the findings of a grand jury and the effect it has had on my recent job search efforts. He assisted me in obtaining the necessary documents and provided me with the knowledge I needed to prepare for the eventual expungement of an item on my record.

For most people, a small capable law firm to handle our personal business is sufficient. But how difficult it is to find someone you can trust. Attorneys who actually do have your best interests and your back. I was referred to Merritt at Farmer Law in Mount Pleasant from my title attorney. Being new to the state, a referral to someone I could trust was the only route. Merritt took care of me. And I had need of follow thru with their staff after the case was closed and they were awesome. Efficient and with the answers I needed. I typically don’t write reviews for law offices…in fact this is my first “legal services review!” Hope it helps you make an informed decision. Merritt rocks!

Heather represented my ex wife. I filed divorce my ex committed adultry and wrote a letter. We agreed to a divorce and fair terms. Heather in My opinion has no moral Fabric. From what I was told She forced my son and ex wife to write and sign statements she new to be a lie. She filled custody cases on 17 years old male. She Took a good honest bad situation and made it hell for everyone. In a bizarre twist. My companies had to call Heather in for depositions she admitted to hitting her child and paying off her ex. . Her records are public and are worth reading. If you have a soul or care about children. I won on every count and Heather caused my ex to get much less than I was willing to pay. She ruined every friendship in our family and was vengeful and awful person to work with. Her ex who seems to be a good honest woman does not paint a nice picture of Heather. I Craig D Elwood believe in my fellow humans and in my opinion of this woman is an enemy of all good honest people! Caution Beware! Heather could you be specific as to what is defamatory? Heather when you saw in the courts again what do you mean? You and I have never been in court against each other except my divorce which you were not counsel at for the end. I have your depositions which are public record and we could review what was said. What harassment are you referring to? I do not have a good opinion of you what so ever and I expressed that in A public forum we’re reviews are welcome. My hope is you can’t hurt other families like you did mine. Thank you for your input Heather in the future be more specific. I welcome seeing you in court. New information about you constantly surfaces and your answers when I had you deposed well just read them thsy Fe pubkic knowledge now . Giving your ex Francis and the children a chance to speak would be healthy for all involved Although second hand my understanding is she has finally found some peace and is trying to repair the damage from her marriage. Your a bully Heather you condone lying and admitted to slapping your child.

Attorney Richards in my opinion is one of the best attorney in South Carolina. In 2010 through 2013 he did my auto accident case. I lived many miles away from him but he came to my house to visit me. Unfortunately I was not home and missed his visit. I initially discovered him online and the information on his website in my situation was thorough - so I contacted him by phone. He's flexible, patient and very accommodating.Until this day I've never met him face to face - he did everything by phone. My settlement was enormous, he had even gone above and beyond to make sure all my medical bills were paid plus. I have recommend him over and over to others and I'm recommending him to you also, if you're looking for attorney. He is absolutely the best in the business. Silvanus Clarke

He explained the process thoroughly. Up front, he even offered to refund the money if he could not get the expungement done. He is super responsive to emails and phone calls. Dale did not get upset or aggravated by my MANY status update calls. Courteous, thorough, profession and friendly. Highly recommend Dale.

Dale is the best lawyer anyone could ask for. I hired him to represent me for a traffic ticket I got after flipping my truck to avoid a reckless driver, consequently, almost dying. After my truck rolled to a stop I hit another car. Due to the scenario in my case the person I hit hired another lawyer to try and convict me for hitting the other driver without insurance. All of which was false. I hired Dale to handle my traffic ticket for me, basically to go to court ONCE and see what could be done. Due to the other attorney bringing up false narratives the court had to delay my case EVERY MONTH for 9 months. Through every delay Dale showed up for me. Finally the court dismissed my case because of how many times it was delayed due to the other attorney not even showing up. I offered to try and pay him more than his normal fees because I understand that his time is valuable and he declined EVERY time. “ I agreed to help you and that’s what I am going to do”. Thank you for everything Dale!

She is an amazing lawyer thus far. She works fast and is very understanding and works with you. She understands that things happen and this life ain’t easy and most importantly understands that you don’t have a money tree in your back yard. I will be updating later. But right now 1000 out of 1000. Will be updating in a couple of weeks.

Melissa Gay is an excellent attorney. She has the experience, the knowledge, and the connections to get the job done quickly and effectively. If you are trying to find legal representation, do yourself a favor and hire her immediately. Melissa and her staff are very profesional. They went above and beyond for me. Her prices were more than fair, but she would be my first choice at any price. Thank you to melissa and her staff! Great job!!

This lawyer is terrible. He will not call you back, or complete the job hired for. He will gladly take your money. It’s about money for his 1000 children.

I have been represented by Shawn French for over 4 years on a wrongful foreclosure brought by a bank not even associated with my home loan. I am a victim of the dreaded robo-signed documents. Mr. French is extremely knowledgeable, very personable and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of foreclosure defense. So far, my case has been stalled in the court system for over 4 years. I am well defended and well protected by this attorney. In addition to my foreclosure defense, Mr. French has also helped me with successfully defending against collection agency efforts. I cannot recommend him more. He deserves 10 stars!

Same experience as the below indivilual below. Thirteen (13) months of a horribly bad experience, when a divorce is hard enough. Very unprofessional. When I complained about his non-responseness he would claim he always returned calls. He would blamed me for not getting his messages. That I had him blocked or my mail server was not working properly. I do not have a server. I was asked to fill out my own legal documents. Which he has not served to the court. Zero legal advise. Nothing accomplished. Already paid him over 8K and he is still billing me. My X's lawyer has done the agreement work so far. Haskins has give my X's lawyer permission to work directly with me.

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.
