Gene represented me awesomely against SallieMae over my guarantor issue on my son's student loan. We arbitrated for me like a BOSS and we cross-examined the SallieMae rep like he was a sponsored pro football player! When it was done, SallieMae grudgingly released me from the co-signer guaranty on one of the student loans - we also found out thru Gene's relentless cross-examination that there were in fact two loans instead of one. Next, I am going to sic Gene "Pit Bull" Kaufmann on Sallie Mae so they release me from loan no. 2. But I am binding my time and first plan to engage Gene to sue a major Las Vegas resort, for falsely imprisoning my son and then extorting credit card payment from me to get him released, all because his bathtub overflowed! Gene is the man! And he is as honest and truthful as east is from west!

I went through several lawyers before retaining Peter Chasey. Those consultations cost hundreds of dollars and resulted in all of them declining to take my case once the "consultation" revealed that my case would likely not end with a big settlement. Or they feared the large gaming corporation involved and weren't up for the fight.
Peter talked to me without asking for a fee and was clear in the scope of what he was willing to do for my case. I think Peter relished the opportunity to represent the common man against the large corporation. And he was up for the fight. I truly believe that he got the better of a team of corporate attorneys, outmaneuvering them several times, positioning the case elements to be advantageous had we went to trial. These actions caused the billion dollar corporation to blink, resulting in a settlement that both sides could accept.
I would recommend Peter Chasey without hesitation.

My wife and I contacted Mr. Hsu by telephone after being sued by the buyer/new owners of our vacation home in Nevada. Since we reside in California, we went on line looking for legal representation and found Maupin/Cox/Legoy attorneys at law. After explaining our situation to the receptionists, we were put in touch with Mr. Hsu. We advised Mr. Hsu we were being sued for "Fraudulent Misrepresentations and Nondisclosures" in connection with the sale of our property in Nevada the previous year. After explaining everything to Mr. Hsu, he requested certain documents from us which we faxed immediately. Mr. Hsu then responded to opposing counsel within 24 hours explaining our rights, our truthfulness when completing the Seller's Real Property Disclosure Form (SRPD) and Nevada law pertaining to our case. After Mr. Hsu's letter to the opposing counsel, we never heard another word from opposing counsel about this matter. All of this was completed through emails, telephone conversations and faxes. Mr. Hsu is very professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend Mr. Hsu should you ever need an attorney. Thank you Rick!

Phil was courteous and attentive. He listened patiently, interjecting questions when needed. Correspondence was sent out quickly and documents filed on time. Phil was easy to reach if I had a concern and was also excellent at contacting me when there was something to report.
I went into our first meeting with opposing counsel and my now, ex-partner feeling very anxious. Immediately it became obvious Phil was well-versed in my case. He was able to root out the weakness in opposing counsels positions, surgically dissecting inconsistencies in their arguments, showing they were ill-prepared. By the end of this first meeting I was sitting tall, knowing that I was in good hands.
It was enjoyable working with Phil. I could tell he really enjoys what he does. He treated my case like a chess game, anticipating opposing counsels moves, then figuring out how to overcome two moves ahead.
One thing I really appreciated was his honesty. He let me know potential costs and time involved with my choice of paths to take.
Sometimes in business you can get bitter and want revenge. You argue over principle rather than a fair and just outcome. Phil kept me focused on the intellectual aspect of my case rather than on my emotions that would have cost me $1000's of wasted dollars. He truly is a remarkable attorney.

Last year my Dad passed away and there were problems with his estate. Before Joe, I hired two attorneys to help me. The first one charged me $2,500 for two letters. The second charged me $10,000, never answered any questions,never sent me an invoice, withdrew from the case and left me high and dry.
Joe cleaned up the mess. He ALWAYS returned my calls and e mails. The best $100 I ever spent in my life was for the one hour preview of my case. Joe DID exactly what he said he would do. Joe Gorman is a honest, caring professional attorney. What else would you want in your lawyer? Thank you, Joe.

Cassell von Baeyer with Incline Law Group has been my Real Estate attorney for several years. She has given me expert advice and counsel on multiple real estate issues. She is very accessible and responsive. Recently we worked on a project that was very complicated. It also needed to be handled expeditiously due filing deadlines.
Cassell jumped on the project, helped me understand all of the issues and made recommendations that would a win-win solution for me and the other parties. She contacted the parties and negotiated a very successful outcome.
I know it is hard to decide when you are looking for an attorney. Cassell was actually referred to me by a realtor that I highly respect. I am so glad I contacted her.
Even though we have only talked on the phone since I live in Florida, we hit it off immediately. I have always been treated like a priority with her and her office staff. And the highly successful outcome on a very technical real estate problem speaks volumes about her expertise and commitment to help!
If you are in need of a real estate or business attorney, please give Cassell a call! You will be glad you did!

My employment/labor case was one of Danielle's first after she passed the State Bar Exam. The case was complicated and had numerous aspects that needed to be addressed; she dove in, head first, and handled it like she was a seasoned attorney. She always spoke to me as a person, and ensured that I was kept apprised of the case updates as they happened. I was extremely impressed with her intelligence and drive to achieve the end a result we were hoping for. A BIG win against a large employer.

I called in to his office to ask questions about a legal matter I was having. The secretary put me on hold and Frank answered, looking for another client. He politely asked me my why I was calling and ended up talking to me for 15 minutes. He told me some things I didn't want to hear, but needed to, and also some things that made me feel alot better about my next step. I ended up hiring him and I'm glad I did. He's a hard worker, and a straight shooter. You don't see a whole lot of that anymore.

Richard is the kindest, most sincere attorney I have ever came across in life anywhere in the world. He settled our high problematic Immigration problem with care and concern. He went over and beyond all the contractual agreements we had to ensure our success was concluded.
He started in Washington State, moved to Nevada, and never stopped continuing just like we sat together in a room but separated by states, and even when I didn't get it or was way behind, he picked up my slack to keep the case in-front of the government and active by doing a lot of my work.
Richard is truly the best, and working like this in this tough world, I am sure the clients will line up to have a genuine person representing them.

She has the ability to maintain consistency when in trial and does not waiver. She relates to a jury in a positive manner and communicates clearly. She is reliable and dependable, meeting all her court dates and timeframes. Melissa is professional and articulate while maintaining respect to all those she dealt with and we would highly recommend her.
Melissa stands out in a sea of attorneys because her good character allows her to stand out head and shoulders above her competition. You would be wise to consult with Melissa.

Mr. Lemons worked with me on my case for an extended period of time so I feel as though I know him. He was not only clear and objective about how to proceed but was extremely easy to communicate with. I admire the fact that if he isn't 100% clear about something, he asks. On several occasions I was more than impressed with his humbleness and willingness to teach me the client about HOW we were proceeding, and WHY we were proceeding in such a manner. I never once felt like there was another client that he was seeing, which is amazing as he is the busiest attorney I know.
He is an excellent attorney, and an even better person.
Thank you Ed.

Kevin Diamond is the most honest and professional attorney I have had the pleasure to work with. A friend of mine was injured at my house resulting in his becoming a parapalegic. My insurance company refused to pay the policy limits (1 million) and I was facing a probable verdict of at least 5 times that amount at trial. I retained Kevin to protect my interest against my insurance company. I am a JD and MBA who has worked extensively in litigation support. He did an amazingly thorough and extremely professional job. The insurance company eventually settled the claim but I felt comfortable that we had established a great bad faith claim if they went to trial and there was a verdict over the policy limits. Kevin is always responsive and kept me informed every step of the way.
His bill ran somewhat higher than the original estimate and he has been kind enough to let me make monthly payments.
I have recommended him to others.

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.
