Trip does what we expect, in the specified time, and for the agreed compensation. Perhaps, this comes from our clearly defined scope and long successful history. Or, perhaps it is just because he is good at what he does. He has reprensented me, my architectural practice and my family since the 1990's in contractual issues, adoption, and real estate.
Although we met socially, and our families share common interests, he knows the line between personal and professional, public and private. One doesn't realize the value of this until you need it. And, when you need it, such professional service is priceless.

We have worked with Sawnie (also known as Trip) for nearly a decade. He has worked on record label contracts, movie production contracts, and television production contracts with our company. We've always felt that he gave each situation serious consideration, and was forthcoming with thorough communication as the agreement/contract was being constructed or negotiated. We would highly recommend his professional capabilities, as well as his personable manner of communicating.

Helped guide my wife and I in producing and preparing a will. In addition to power of attorney. Was very detailed and covered many areas I had never considered. She provided excellent communication and took time to answer all of our questions. She was very patient and made sure to give us areas of concern we had not considered. We definitely felt like we were treated like family and she had our best interest in mind. I would recommend her to anyone. She went above and beyond to make sure we got everything done as quickly as possible. She was very flexible with her time and making it work around my busy schedule. Overall, we had a great experience and she exceeded all of our expectations.

I endorse this lawyer. She provided a fast and clear response to an urgent copyright matter at my company. I appreciate outside counsel that can provide timely, useful advice, without all of the "legal jargon" and caveats. I need advice that I can pass on to my internal stakeholders without having to translate it for non-lawyers to understand. This lawyer is intelligent, friendly and I feel confident her advice is accurate.

Mr. Meisner handled the personal injury case regarding a very serious accident involving my husband. From the beginning until the settlement was reached, Mr. Meisner's tenacity along with his full knowledge of the law brought our case to a most favorable outcome. Even in the final stages of the settlement, he negotiated an even larger settlement than was expected. He and his staff were prompt at returning phone calls and emails and keeping us informed of the status of our case. Mr. Meisner is an excellent attorney who was not only trustworthy but one who persistently pushed to get the best results possible.

I called Mr.Bell because a company was threatening me and using some harsh scare tactics, very concerned about my freedom. Mr. Bell spent a good amount of time explaining both mine and their legal rights, what my concerns should be, and all possible outcomes. He was extremely knowledgeable, polite, and helpful. I would recommend him to anyone needing legal help. When we were done talking I felt very informed, confident, and satisfied.

Documentation wins the Lawsuits: Seth and his Partner Howell O'Rear were both meticulous in preparing the case to establish transparency of the merits of the case very well. Seth wrote impactful documents that reflected his action oriented thinking and made quick progress in our case.
I admire their honesty, integrity and personal commitment to help the client in the most efficient way. I would use their services every time I may need and would recommend to anyone who is seeking effective progress made in their cases.
My family members appreciated their personable and friendly interactions.

We are at the first stage of our work together. Randy has been prompt in communication, easy to understand in explanations, and - what sold me on him over others with comparable pricing - he took the time and initiative (before we even agreed to work together) to research some information that helped me decide what direction to take with my trademark.

I am very happy to have worked with Sam for the past year and a half. I felt he was very professional. He handled issues with the board of nursing in an efficient and effective way. I would recommend him in dealing with nursing or medical related cases. Nobody wants to have to call a lawyer but I'm glad that I found him and his law firm.

First of all, he was quickly responsive. When I arrived for consult, he took his time to explain in detail some things that a prior attorney didn't. He seemed concerned, knowledgeable and logical. He offered different ways to assist me, at very reasonable rates. He seems to take his job very seriously, and he's very down to earth & easy to communicate with. My case was not a very large one, and several attorneys had already said it was too small for them to consider. Mr. Rossman was a god-send for me. His understanding of the specifics of the case (construction) put my mind at ease and allowed me to take a breath, which I very much needed. Most impressive.

I can say something most people can’t: I love my attorney. I have been using Terry Mann at Bone McAllester Norton for a couple of years and find myself consistently happy and satisfied with the work he does and the manner in which he does it. Terry and his colleagues have that fairy-tale balance of being good people with fiercely protecting and fighting for their clients. I have worked with a number of attorneys at the firm and they are all excellent at their jobs and incredibly easy to work with. I have always felt like I was treated like an important person, like I have the world’s best advocates.
I found the firm because I needed personal representation against a large corporation trying to take advantage of me. Terry fought for me and we won. After that, I began using Terry and his colleagues for business matters as well as for other personal affairs. And I will continue to use them. If you use them you will be represented by exemplary attorneys who are also wonderful people, you will be treated like a valued client, not a number, and you will never feel like your problem is trivial or small or insignificant. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We often have various needs and Howell has been instrumental in the success of our business. As the president of a female-owned business in the independent education sector, I began looking for new legal counsel about four years ago. Howell and his team were the perfect answer. He is incredibly responsive, has helped with multiple matters, especially in urgent situations. Howell was recommended to us by a close personal and professional friend, and I would easily recommend him to any one. The team at The Education Group has been very pleased with all of his work and we trust him for the most professional counsel!

My wife and I were new to the Nashville area, retired, and looking forward to starting our new future.
Unfortunately, in the process, even with a lot of due diligence we crossed paths with an unscrupulous, deceitful home contractor which eventually resulted in a loss of our funds and their eventual termination.
After hiring a law firm with little to no results, we were given a recommendation from a family member to Howell O'Rear of McInteer & O'Rear PLC Law Firm. They reviewed our case, made recommendations, and we hired them to represent us.
Mr. O'Rear, through his counsel, direction, kindness, and concern made this stressful, sometimes aggravating situation manageable. His accessibility and resolve talked me off the cliffs edge numerous times.
All through this process Mr. O'Rear was mindful and concerned of our financial stability as to our position for our retirement, and how to draw this case to a close in the least amount of time with an outcome that would benefit our situation, which he did very well.
I highly recommend McInteer & O'Rear PLC.

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.
