I purchased an investment property in Ft Myers 2005. With the banks approval I tried to short sell the property, upon receipt of a sale they couldn't find who actually held the mortgage. I defaulted in 2009. In 2013 the PMI company initiated a proceeding via several different law/collection agencies. Mr.. Gregory Champeau, esq. defended me as they had also decided to seek financial reimbursement from my wife who wasn't legally part of the transaction. He was successful in that the judgement would only apply to me. My assets were all TBE (except for one) which prevented collection. In 2019 the collections agency became more aggressive, Patrick Neale, esq, was brought in as his expertise in addressing various attempted garnishments and his litigation skills were needed to address various court hearings initiated by the collections agency. It was discovered that an investment account me and my wife opened in 2005 was set up as Joint Ownership with Survivor Benefits. Unbeknownst to me a JWROS account is not afforded the same level of protection as a TBE account. Mr Neale was able to draw upon case law and present it in a fashion that helped to bring closure. The end result is that with Patrick Neale's legal expertise and Mr Gregory Champeau negotiations skills I did agree upon a favorable settlement. The only other option was to be continuously harassed by the collections agency for years to come. Thank You - Patrick Neale

Obtained Mr. Amos for a custody case, paid a $400 fee to hear my story and the fee was never added to my retainer. Months went by with substantial changes, contacted his office by calling and email and my case was worse as the months went by. Retainer was refunded of course with a fee so in the end Mr. Amos made $750 for his bogus, legal contract both party’s signed. This attorney is overwhelmed and word of mouth in town is not a good one. I wish I knew what I know now. I would have felt better giving the money he made off of me to someone that really needed it, if I must. Do not WASTE your time. You do matter!

I recognized that I was going to be a difficult client and that i needed an attorney who could gain my trust. Not only did Kent win my trust he also showed that he is a great in court when he won a dismissal of domestic violence injunction filed against me by an ex. If you think a good attorney is expensive, try hiring a bad one.

The highest confirmation of skill a lawyer can receive is when another lawyer elects to retain their services. I did just that in the frivolous ex-spouse matter that came from left field against me nearly 8 years after my divorce. Kent Amos is a lawyers lawyer. While it is a confirmation of confidence it can also be overwhelmingly difficult on the lawyer. Kent handled it masterfully. I have and will continue to refer matters to Kent without hesitation. If you are reading this you have found your lawyer.

Don’t let the 5 star reviews fool you! If you enjoy wasting your hard earned money on a lazy, worthless attorney, then by all means, proceed with James. He’ll talk a good game until it’s time to act on it, and then you’re left with $10,000 less in your account and someone who bent you over the table. And no, not in the fun way! Not only did we have a slam dunk case, which he said from the beginning, he failed to actually follow through retaining information and pursuing further. He just took the $$ and that was it.

Kevin Lottes was hired to close the sale of my condominium in Naples Florida and file my application for FIRPTA. After telling me he had extensive. experience in this area he not only failed to make the necessary application in a timely manner, he failed to intercede on my behalf when problems occurred with an opposing counsel and passed on my file to someone else in his firm without notifying me and never responded further to any emails. I am now having to wait perhaps up to a year to recover tens of thousands dollars from the IRS unnecessarily. Based on this experience I cannot recommend this lawyer.

We have worked together for 7 years. As a Florida Licensed REALTOR it is important, for me, to work with people who work like me. I am proactive so having a Real Estate attorney who keeps me ahead of the process is key for me. Kevin has seen my buyers and I thru some interesting scenarios bringing us all to successful closings. Comments to my customers always includes, "do not move forward without a qualified Real Estate attorney". Kevin Lottes is always on the top of my attorney referral list.

I would not recommend hiring Mr. Skrivan for legal assistance. After my father passed away, I was in need of legal guidance with his estate. He never answered my phone calls or replied to my emails. He did not follow through with my instructions and he dismissed my concerns. It has been almost one year and my father's estate has not been distributed. Mr. Skrivan terminated his professional relationship by a letter without explaining why and he kept $2,000. I'm very disappointed in myself because I had trusted him. Do not hire him.

Went to the office on or about June 8th and was told they would courier documents to my hotel. Have notified both realtors of the deficiency and have contacted Old Republic Title to get their assistance.

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.
