I met Bo as a 3rd recommendation from other attorneys. They told me he was the man for this case. I retained Bo and right from the get he was in my face honest and told me a likely outcome. He's a regular guy that explains the law jargon in plain English. I was involved in a suit case and I only had a certain amount to settle the case. His tactics were hard for me to understand at times but in the end case settled for the amount I told him was available to me. HE NAILED IT! Hard worker cares about his clients and takes time to explain processes. Hard to find someone like Bo these days that actually has the motivation, knowledge and drive to solve my problem. I would recommend Bo, and as a matter of fact already have, to anyone with a litigation issue like mine. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

My husband and I are very pleased with the Estate Planning services provided by Heather Strobel. She is very professional, well organized and was very patient with us. She guided us through the entire process to finalize our estate planning documents. She pointed out important elements of an estate plan and the decisions that carefully needed to be made. She demonstrates enthusiasm, diligence, trustworthiness and has an awesome personality. My husband and I highly recommend Heather Strobel!

I've know Ms. Stobel for some time. I had the privilege of being her real estate broker back some time ago. I always knew that Shannon and I would need to make sure our affairs were in order. That time came and Heather was the only Estate Planning attorney I would consider. I do business with people I know and trust. I trust Ms. Strobel with all our estate planning needs for my family. My mother and sister also hired Ms. Strobel for their estate needs too. You'd be fortunate to be able to work with her! Thank you for all the help and the peace of mind... especially in these times.

I contacted Mr. Hancock after his name was given to me by a good friend. I had asked her if she knew of attorney who would be able to help my senior mother prepare a Last Will and Testament, Power of Attorney, Financial and Medical Power of Attorney, and not charge her an amount that would cause a coronary. I also wanted someone that she would feel comfortable with, and Mr. Hancock was the perfect lawyer for her. He was not only very welcoming, he was very understanding that my mom has early on-set dementia, and was able to communicate with her on a level where she was able to explain what she wanted included her the will. I am getting ready to have my own Will and PofA's done and will definitely be contacting Mr Franklin to prepare these for me.

He is always prompt, FAIR, knowledgable, and goes far above and beyond to assist. He is like a very smart good friend.

I broke my back on a boat driven by Jim Hinds of Grand Slam Yacht Sales there in Morehead City. I hired Clark, Newton & Evans, PA (Don Evans and Seth Buskirk) to represent me in my maritime personal injury case. I had already been through 2 other firms, who basically dropped my case because they thought there was no insurance coverage (it had been denied by the main insurance company). I was a little bit reluctant at first because they are mainly a transportation law “defense” firm, but since they came highly recommended, I decided to try them. They didn’t have a conflict, reviewed my case, and said they hated to see me get screwed, so they agreed to take it. It was a knock-down, drag-out fight from the beginning, and it was four years before I got anything. There were four lawyers on the other side, who tried every trick in the book, but these guys stuck it out, won all of the legal battles, and the other side finally coughed up 7 figures after 3 mediations, on the courthouse steps of a federal trial. Even after we settled, they went out after 2 other parties and got me even more money. I cannot say enough to recommend these guys, especially for admiralty cases, as they were the only lawyers in the case that apparently understood it. If they don’t have a conflict, you should hire them.

Matt is hands down the best lawyer there is to obtain in the Fayetteville area. He and his staff are the most compassionate and understanding people you would want to work with during trying legal times. I retained Matt for my divorce and child custody/support matters and he went above and beyond in every aspect to ensure we were always ready for court and to ensure I was always in the know about what was going on and what I could expect at the next turn. Even after leaving the service and moving many states away, he took care of legal matters that arose after moving in a timely matter, still getting winning results. I have referred many people for various needs to Matt and he has done them all the same justice as he did me. If you want an amazing attorney that will fight for you and your needs until the very end, Plyler Law Firm is the way to go, he is the best there is at what he does.

As an out of state driver, I panicked when I learned a "personal appearance" was required for my traffic violation ( 86 in a 55 speed). I called no fewer than 10 attorneys in the area but not one (other than Matt) took the time to speak with me personally. He kept me up to date on the proceedings and achieved the best outcome possible. No mark on my license, no insurance rate increase, no fine, no points. My advice to everyone out there with a pending traffic charge is to hire Matt. He will work hard to get you the best outcome possible. Further, his fees are reasonable. Much less than what you'll be paying if you're guilty and your insurance rates go up.

Great Service and dedication! I talked with two other law firms to see if they could help me with a traffic violation. I was told by one law office that they could not help. The second told me that I needed to pay them $1,000 up front without reviewing my case and they would "See what they could do". I then spoke with our JAG office who referred me to the Matt Plyler Law Firm. Within minuets of talking with Matt Plyler I knew they were the right firm to go through. He let me know there would be NO charge until he did the research first. After two days I received a phone call from Matt letting me know that he could accomplish everything I needed and that it would cost me $300 LESS than the other quotes. I have since then referred several friends to the Plyler Law Firm and they have all been more than pleased. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

As a former owner/operator of two restaurants, I have had my fair share of dealing with lawyers in my lifetime......... That being said, Shortly after my Mother passed away, I found myself in a sticky situation with my sibling and it came time to find a litigation attorney. Lucky for me, the Estates attorney referred me to Greg Connor and his law group. From day one I knew Greg was not only a brilliant attorney but his kindness and compassion for my situation was second to none. He talked me down off the ceiling more than once with his calming effect. He replied to my emails, kept me informed and actually answered his phone when I called. His demeanor in the courtroom setting was stellar! His presence and presentation of my case was powerful! I couldn't have asked for anything better. Greg Connor put an end to my nightmare once and for all.....for that I am truly thankful. I strongly recommend Greg Connor and Connor Law Group if you're looking for a knowledgable, reliable and caring attorney.

Greg is extremely knowledgeable about the laws of is craft in and out of the state; he was my official law book for any circumstance I asked about.

Ms. Brumback was the lead attorney on a team that defended a large national Architectural firm in a complicated claim brought by a very aggressive health care institution's legal team. At all times, Ms. Brumback patiently and competently led our firm through the process. Our firm had been very successful over the many years it had been in operation in avoiding such claims and, as a result, required much guidance from the legal team in assisting in our own defense.

Ms. Brumbach represented my firm on two separate occasions. The first as a member of a legal team who defended us against a former client. Rather than meet to discuss the concerns in person, this client was persuaded by an aggressive law firm to resolve the matter through the courts. Their incentive being the expectation of a large insurance settlement from a policy we carried at the time. The second was as our attorney in a suit to collect fees from a client who withheld final payment for work we performed. Rather than meet to discuss, this client ceased communication. In both instances she became familiar with the facts very quickly and developed a well conceived plan for both our defense and the merits of our claim. We would not hesitate to engage her if the need arose once again.

Jason is a friend from church. When I approached him for advice about a claim from an auto accident that left me with permanent injuries, the time for filing the claim had nearly expired. Jason began to work for me immediately. He made every effort to settle the claim through mediation, experiencing the same frustration I had experienced with the insurer. Jason was marvelous throughout the trial. He prepared each witness extremely well, presented a well documented and thorough case, and gave keen attention to details. The jury award was substantially higher than mediation would have rendered. Now I consult Jason regularly, fully trusting him with my family law business including divorce, will, and matters of estate. Jason is a hard worker, always prepared, ethical and fair.

Jason Page has represented me for the past year in a case which involved a piece of longleaf timberland I own in eastern North Carolina. Someone impersonated me and sold my timber to a local forest products company. Jason Page helped me recover my damages from the insurance firm representing the timber company. My mediation was completed in January 2012. I was extremely satisfied with his help on all levels. He was available and responsive through emails and telephone calls and always kept me in the loop with regards to papers that he filed and developments in my case. His background of working in timber before becoming a lawyer made him especially valuable in my case…volumes, pricing, optimal merchandising of a timber tract…all are a bit obscure if you are not in the timber world. But in a broader sense, this is a person who I would use for any legal matter that he is willing to take on. His honesty, prompt attention to detail, and full involvement with the case at hand all commend him. With more lawyers like Jason Page, the public impression of the profession would get a big boost.

Glen was great to work with on our estate planning process. Glen was very thorough and asked all the right questions to have my husband and I think through how we wanted matters handled. Estate planning can be stressful but Glen took care of so many of the details that it was a very easy process for us. I highly recommend Glen to all of my friends and will continue to use his services as my needs change over time.

I highly recommend Glen as a Trust and Estate Planning attorney. In 2017, I needed to update my will and establish a trust. Glen listened to all of my needs, drafted the legal document that reflected my wishes, and explained every signature to me in great detail. I now recommend Glen to friends as a Trust attorney.

First time divorcee... What a difficult experience. I chose Katherine's firm because she was incredibly astute - immediately understood my primary goal was to have a civilized dissolution of my marriage. Life is way too short to get caught up in years of turmoil, hatred and ugliness for the sake of money... but that's just me. Regardless, Katherine was always right on point, doing her job to protect me and my future interests, while not "stirring the pot" in a negative way. I would fully trust her to execute an equally ugly, contentious legal matter because I always felt as though she was right on top of things, and more importantly on top of the law. All I can say is that I can't recommend her more highly... And don't forget the rest of the team, this isn't a "one woman show" - Tahani and others had been right in the midst and always on top of things, pleasant to work with and timely in every way. Honestly, I don't write reviews (often), but I absolutely needed to share my positive experience with people who might otherwise make a terrible decision with a horrible troll of a lawyer - and trust me, they're out there.... so go with someone that won't drag you down into their world... stays on top with the high road, while still making sure you come out the way you want.

Katherine is smart, knows the law, and is both tenacious and fair. I was involved in litigation in another state and hired Katherine to represent me in NC. I shared legal documents from the other lawyer with her and she found a huge mistake in his draft settlement offer that would have cost me a tremendous amount. After that, I had her look at everything and she steered me through very tough negotiations with a deft and tough approach that resulted in a good settlement for me. She is the best lawyer I've ever hired.

Cory came highly recommended to me. I'd heard that he was a near legend miracle worker in the courtroom (a repeated D.U.I case that might have ended up really bad, he made really right.) . But I"d never needed a D.U.I. fixed. However! Crazy things can happen when you least expect it--a police officer going through your purse and finding EXACTLY the wrong thing for instance. Thank heaven's there is someone like Cory to step up and saved me. he is so easy to talk to and fair in his charges. I would ay, you can;t do better in Asheville. Thanks so much, Cory.

This was my first time getting into to trouble, and while it was a minor charge it was still a scary and stressful time. Corey made me feel better the moment I spoke to him and made me feel confident in how things were going to turn out. He was quick to get back into contact even for this very minor charge. Corey ended up having everything dismissed in the most professional way. Thank you Corey!

Robert, (Corey), has helped us with two incidents involving my college-age daughters. In both cases, he was polite, prompt, and successful in obtaining a fair resolution. He has a way of calming the anxiety during the period leading up to the decision, maintaining perspective and using tact and humor to keep everyone focused and on track. A true professional at all levels!

We've used Mr. Taylor Callicutt's services many times over the last several years for a variety of reasons and will continue to do so whenever we need an attorney in his fields of expertise. He is a pleasure to work with and has always represented us in an excellent manner. We even recommend him for dual closings because we have 100% confidence that he will ethically and professionally represent both parties fairly, impartially and to the best of his considerable ability. His manner is always genial, he is very responsive and prompt in his replies to voicemail and/or email. Taylor has always met or exceeded our expectations and whenever we are asked for a referral to an attorney, Taylor is the first and only name that crosses our lips.

I highly recommend Attorney Scott Hudson to everyone who is seeking legal advice. Scott is not only knowledgable in the law, but he is a compassionate and understanding person. He offers a listening ear when you need to vent about updated information pertaining to your case, he works with you to allow you whatever you need to achieve your goal, and he is a friend who will stand by you and help you fight the good fight. I do not know how many times I reached out to Attorney Scott and he was there for me each time. He made sure I was knowledgable about my case and kept me informed of my options and the possible outcome. He was never impatient or too busy to discuss my case. He gave me as much time as I needed to feel comfortable and secure in my decision making. If you need someone to walk with you during a difficult time in your life, Attorney Scott Hudson is the man for you!

Mr. Gordon represented us against a fraudulent building contractor. He was tenacious against the individual. After winning in court, and gaining a sizable judgement for us, he was able to turn that judgement into a secured lein on the individual's property. As you may know, judgements don't mean you will recover your losses, but the secured lein has provided the opportunity to actually recover our initial losses. Briefly stated, "You want Harry Gordon to be your lawyer, not opposing council".

I highly recommend Harry Gordon for any business needs. He set up my corporation, fought my former employer that tried to sue me as I was starting up, and has given me great legal advise along the way. He has done a great job collecting debt and gone into mitigation twice with companies owing me money and we won. Harry is relentless, and is definitely one that you want sitting on your side of the table. I would have never made it 18 years in business without Harry Gordon.

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.
