I have worked with Pam Milner for over ten years in several positions. She and I were on the staff at El Pollo Loco and after leaving El Pollo Loco, I retained her as legal counsel for Farmer Boys restaurants. Her knowledge of franchise law, HR and real estate was a great help to both companies. Her broad knowledge of business and legal issues is extremely valuable. She is a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend her to any organization seeking legal advise.

Mr. Mehr was really helpful with my father's work injury case. We were having a difficult time getting his company to pay for all the medical expenses from his surgery and doctor's visits. Hiring the Mehr Law Group was the best decision we ever made. They were great in explaining everything very carefully and found the best solution. We were finally compensated. Excellent service overall and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Our firm was involved in a case between taxpayers whereby we were accused of purposely not providing documents relevant to the case during discovery (which of course was not true). Our attorney provided by our professional liability insurance carrier was not protecting our legal rights or providing relevant case law to defend us at our sanction hearings. We thus engaged Shane to represent us. He provided excellent representation and we feel minimized what could have been a very costly ordeal, not to mention peace of mind during a trying time.

I would recommend Giavanna Concetta Deprima to anyone! She is very professional and responsive person, who takes your case in on a personal level. I am a single mom who has never had to seek professional help, and to tell you the truth, I was terrified on the way to my first visit. Once I got to the office, I felt welcome. Not only did that first visit get the ball rolling in my case, but after talking to Giavanna I felt like there was a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. Now instead of going to court alone, scared and afraid I might lose by a technicality, I go in with my head high knowing that I have a friend fighting for me. By the way, she won my case!! Thank You Giavanna

I recently reached out to June to have her review my independent contractor agreements. I was extremely satisfied with both my experience and her expertise in business law.
June’s attention to detail when editing, revising and updating my contracts was very much appreciated because it assured me I wasn’t getting a “cookie-cutter” contract, as I have unfortunately received in the past. Having a business where the day-to-day operations and structure is constantly evolving, means you need the best and should accept nothing less than that when it comes to attorneys and your legal team.
I tend to ask a lot of questions, and June didn’t hesitate to answer them all; even when that meant researching or checking in with other professionals in the industry. June is very professional, easy to talk to and gets back to you promptly (always a plus!).
I met with June in person, had conversations over the phone and through email and I would most certainly recommend her for anyone looking for a good business attorney. She makes things very clear and easy to understand, which is always appreciated when working on and trying to navigate legal documents and/or contracts. I appreciate her work ethic, professionalism, and knowledge when it comes to business law so I will most definitely work with June again in the future.
Thanks for being great June. The world needs more attorneys like you!

I found Adam Greely through Avvo and was pleasantly surprised how quickly I was able to meet with him for a free consultation. Since I was impressed with his knowledge of Bankruptcy law, I hired him right away. I was forced into a situation where I needed to hire a Bankruptcy attorney because I was trying to collect on an arbitration award and the other side was threatening Chapter 11 (through another Bankruptcy firm) if I didn't negotiate the terms of payment with them. Mr. Greeley laid out my options in layman's terms for me and was available to handle my case in a very timely manner. I believe he helped me resolve this quicker and more efficiently than if I would have tried to have my existing attorney negotiate with the other side instead. This potentially saved me a lot of time, aggravation and money as a result. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody that seeks a professional that is well-versed in bankruptcy law, who is also a great communicator as well!

Most Important, in AZ Superior Court when a Jury gives a verdict completely in your favor (and the defendant's run from the courtroom) you know you have a great lawyer. Then the Jury is allowed to speak with everyone on their reasoning....and we were favored because they liked Joe O'Connor's smile and demeanor over the defendant's present 2 lawyers and he focused on winning our case instead of getting sidetracked on Defendants counterclaims and other 10 different suits and formal complaints. He litigated against a total of 5 Attorneys on this involving this Contract including an insurance company and Registrar of Contractors. From same Defendants, he won multiple claims in Registrar of Contractors with his partner Durfield, proved a false forgery charge with Maricopa Sheriff in our favor, appealed one issue and won. He focused us during our time of crisis to regain our reputation. We are very fortunate that O'Connor is likeable to a Jury, but mostly his is the only only lawyer we like. He is highly recommended.

Timothy supported our company Tempting Films LLLC at the drop of the hat, pushed square into the arena of an on-going deal that was particularly significant to us a company. He brokered the deal, secured the confidence of our investor in Canada and helped close that deal and all paperwork with speed and perfect discrimination. Extremely reasonable and yet top notch securities advice and execution.

I was dealing with this counselor on civil matters, when I had a long forgotten criminal matter pop up. Ms. Lockhart assembled me a team of attorneys to handle my new "needs". Kept me and my mother informed and visited me in the jail, all the while handling my personal business as well. If you want counsel that can fight for you, represent you and advise you on legal matters, without making you feel stupid, like a customer or insignificant, I recommend you retain her.

Wow, anyone need divorce attorney? Checkout Richard Sullivan.
My spouse and attorney was doing everything possible to delay and obstruct the divorce process.
After 3 years and trying couple attorneys, I found Mr Sullivan. He was the only one who got my case moving forward and to the end
I noticed that some attorneys are just pushing papers, which is great for an easy-going divorce. However, reaching a settlement it’s always within your control. And I play that no one has to go through what I have.
But if you have, or just want to avoid it, give Sullivan Law and associates a call. They continued to negotiate up to the last day, to avoid a trial and settle out of court. But Richard Sullivan is a trial attorney and sometimes you need a trial attorney to avoid a trial.

Through the years I have used Richard Rudolph's legal expertise for many of my legal needs. One of the most important has been my Living Trust. Richard understood what I wanted, advised me and walked me through the process. What really made me feel comfortable about working with Richard was when he said, if any of the people noted in the trust have questions they should always feel comfortable in calling him. He would always be available for them.

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.
