Hiring Lorraine Wade was one of the biggest mistakes I made, and I feel it’s important to share my experience to warn others. She is, without a doubt, the most disheartening attorney I have ever encountered.
When people seek legal counsel, it’s usually during a difficult and vulnerable time in their lives. We trust that the attorney we hire will have our best interests at heart and provide the support we need. Unfortunately, Lorraine Wade lacked both understanding and professionalism, leaving me feeling ignored and unsupported.
I regret not listening to the reviews I read before engaging her. It ended up costing me money and causing unnecessary stress. If you are looking for an attorney who will truly advocate for you, I would advise you to look elsewhere.

I found Attorney Wade to be very knowledgeable regarding the details of my case. She helped me understand what my options where and then represented me very professionally in court. I've worked with a few other attorneys in the past and came to accept that lawyers can't be trusted, but after 2 successes with Wade Law, I've changed my mind about lawyers. At least there's one firm that's trustworthy and effective. I have recommended Wade Law to a few friends and they've been successful as well. I wish more attorneys were as ethical and affordable.

Lack of very basic professionalism. 9 days and 5 emails to 3 different people, including partner Ty Dedmon and assistants Vikki and Kimberly. No response whatsoever. I explained my issue and asked to schedule a call, then eventually just receive an email response. Nothing. If you are looking for legal counsel, I would suggest not wasting time with Bradley.

In a highly contentious divorce, Leigh proved to be a fantastic choice in representation. She was responsive, thoughtful, and empathetic. Most importantly, when the dust settled- Leigh was spot on from day 1 as to how my case would be resolved.
My case was particularly ugly and I experienced Leighturn from fierce advocate to more like a fierce advocate who was personally offended their family member or close friend was being targeted.
I would not hesitate to recommend Leigh and would insist on consulting with her for your legal needs.

Nick is helpful and kept me updated every step of the way. He is attentive and thoughtful on how he handled a special appearance in Marshall County. Great value and wonderful attorney to work with! Best of all we were able to get the result we planned for by presenting quality work to the court. His rates are fair compared to other family attorneys I called.

Matt acted as de facto general counsel for my business for more than 6 years. In this role, he helped to keep us out of trouble and manage any issues we could not prevent. My business was a recreational facility, which was visited by more than 300,000 folks and employed more than 400 people each year. So, as you can imagine, we had our share of disputes.
Matt handled each of these with an eye toward the future and an understanding of the positive/negative effect on our bottom line. He worked with us on employment issues (EEOC, OSHA, disgruntled employees), contracting issues ( real estate, leases, vendors, customers, etc.), regulatory issues (local, state, federal) … with virtually any problem that we encountered, we felt comfortable taking to Matt to get his feedback on. He was a great sounding board, and we always felt well worth the investment.
And, when we couldn’t get an issue settled and had to resort to litigation, he won each of the cases he tried for us. It’s hard to bat 1.000, but Matt did it for us.
On a couple of occasions, there was an issue that required a legal specialty or another professional (i.e., business valuator). Rather than tackling it himself, Matt found the right person and made sure we were well taken care of by the referral.
For us, the relationship with Matt was extremely beneficial. He was dedicated and produced the results we desired. Highly recommend.

Matt helped me with an asset sale and also with a purchase of stock/membership interest. I really appreciated his attention to detail, management of multiple moving parts, and technical understanding of the law and how it would impact my business.
And, I relied heavily on his strategic thinking. In our meetings/negotiating sessions, I felt like I was at an advantage having Matt in the room with me. He always seemed one step ahead of opposing attorneys.
Matt’s work was always completed on time and within our set budgets. No surprises. And, he helped me anticipate where time and/or money would need to be spent in the future.
If you are a business owner seeking a boutique law firm that focuses on transactions, litigation, or other issues, I would highly recommend Matt to you. As a jaded user of “big law firms,” this was the perfect fit for me: I got “big firm” experience with “small firm” customer service.

This lawyer failed to protect me from the hands of my abusive husband. She failed in many areas and didn’t protect me from getting wrongfully charged with assault when I was the one assaulted. I was then harassed by the man for the next year without much I could do about it because he claimed I broke an oop by letting his kids contact him. Worst lawyer ever for anyone in an abusive relationship. You won’t be protected, helped, or represented well at all. She simply doesn’t have the time or care to help you.

Ms. Coleman is smart and quick on her feet. She has lots of trial experience, and it shows. She listened to me when I was going through a hard time and she was appointed to me. She didn't have to work hard as hard for me as her other clients. She knew I couldn't pay and she didn't care. She still fought for me and was able to get me out of jail. Highly recommend.

This attorney seemed more focused on her upcoming election she was running for than to meet the needs of her client. She treated me like just another number and gave off a snooty vibe like she thought she was better than me. She did not accept my concerns as valid and dismissed my requests on how to represent my defense. I hope no one else who needs quality representation gets stuck with this attorney.

Hired to take on a franchisor, Roland came to depositions unprepared, caved in to adversary over and over again. Charged $270.00 an hour (trial attorney rate) yet we seldom saw the inside of a courtroom. I spent over 100K and 4 years and LOST on a case that was supposed to cost 40K and take 1 year. If Roland is your lawyer I feel sorry for you.

I used Roland for a business litigation case and found him to be very knowledgeable and thorough. He kept meticulous records for my file and was able to demonstrate to the Judge all of his efforts of getting the case moving and keeping it going. I now send him to my family and would use him again if needed.

I agree as all the other people have stated that this law firm does not reach out to you, they are unethical, they lie and submit orders that are not true and bold face lie to you in court and also outside of court. For all the violations that they’ve committed a class action lawsuit should be committed to shut this firm down.

Mr. Clayton consulted me on a bankruptcy that I desired to file. I went into his office and met with him. He advised me about the class I needed to complete prior to filing. He was very polite and courteous however he lacked professionalism when it came to follow up. I contacted Mr. Clayton several times to follow up on my next step as instructed. He was running for a political office was out of his office and unavailable and never returned my calls. I had been behind on my mortgage and other household expenses and needed legal counsel and Mr. Clayton did not provide me with the professionalism I needed through communication on how to resolve my legal matter. I would not recommend this lawyer.

I was sued by a client for silent hung that I did not do. Attorney Clayton successfully litigated the case in my defense as a result of his expertise, the case was dismissed and justice prevailed. Since that time he has been our company attorney. I must say that in every case I have been more than pleas with his knowledge of the law. I have recommended him to colleagues, friends and family alike.

I hired Ms. O'Brien for a very simple task. It wound up involving only a few phone calls and emails to another attorney, probably totalling under 2 hours. I provided all the documentation to be conveyed to Hughes & Coleman, the plaintiff's lawyers. They had refused to answer calls from my business manager, likely because she wasn't a lawyer. Besides charging me 20 minutes to read or send each email, she added in $250 for an hour of "research." I know this is standard practice for the legal profession, but that doesn't make it right. When questioned, she claimed clients want their lawyers to be knowledgeable. Well, of course they do, but shouldn't that knowledge be acquired in school and through experience? It's not right to make the client pay for their OJT (On the Job Training). As a piano teacher, if I don't know something, I don't stop the lesson and go look it up while the child sits there. I'm expected to have the skills to perform my job. At the very least, she could have had her $90/hour paralegal do the research. I'm not happy with the $800 bill and won't use her again.

My statement is from my family's personal encounters.
Caveat Emptor, Let the buyer beware! I equate him to both, a used car being sold by a questionable used car salesperson. The car looks good on the car lot. The salesperson promises that the services from the vehicle will be the best that you could ever wish for. After you have made the deal and took it off the lot it shows it's true limited capabilities.and all.of its problems. You try calling the sales person and they don't answer the phone. You go to their place of business and the signs says "Out to breakfast, lunch and dinner". The office person has a similar story of "he's in court or he just stepped out and I will tell him you called. When you finally get to talk to him, it's always the same delaying tactics. He is waiting on some documents from the court or he has filed a motion for....something or another. Only to find out that nothing has been filed. No visits have been made. Multiple appearances have been missed. Continuance have been requested. I am still waiting on the POA that was supposed to have been produced....NOT.
Run don't walk. If you can't run then crawl. If you can't crawl have a friend to carry you on their back. Or drag you by your hair but seek other counselling.
From personal experience, I would not recommend him to represent me on anything other than witnessing my signature and then notorizing it. On second thought, I'll just got to the bank. I have an account and don't expect anything more than a seal.
Not every argument is going to go in his favor nor is he going to win every case. However, I did expect a more professional service, a devotion to duty and attention to detail far greater than what he gave to my family.
Buyer beware!

Mr. Pulley provided me with a great defense as well as great representation for my entire family in several situations. He was always very professional, as well as making me feel comfortable with the process.

We retained Mr. Pulley for our criminal defense. The charges were serious, but politically driven. Mr. Pulley took a retainer and showed up in court for us three times. The first two times, the prosecution was not ready. The third time, Mr. Pulley asked for a continuance. The fourth time (and we had to travel at our own expense to these hearings as we did not live locally), he just didn't show. After the first call, we attempted to reach him and we were told that he had a stomach bug and would not be there. No attempt was made to contact us or the court. Additionally, the DA noted to the judge that he had no communication with Mr. Pulley, that the necessary documents had not been filed and he felt that a continuance was in order so that we could seek proper representation. Mr. Pulley also did not return our phone calls or emails. This entire episode went on for over a year before the no show. When we sent him a letter asking for our retainer to be returned, minus his billable hours (oh...forgot that part...he did not furnish us with a billable hours statement during the entire year, even though we requested it), he ignored us. We have filed a complaint against him with the TN Board. Please don't waste your time with this man.

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.
