Divorce is incredibly stressful, but Hayley made the legal process as seamless and smooth as possible. She is professional, responsive and a terrific communicator. Hayley is a first-class attorney who understands all of the pitfalls of the divorce process and knows how to navigate the legal challenges. By going the collaborative divorce route, we saved money and got through the process relatively quickly. I cannot recommend Custom Divorce Solutions enough.

I was served papers out of the blue. I was scared and didn't know what to do. I called Mel and he was calm, supportive, and immediately had a plan for me after asking some questions about my situation. Mel knows the law in and out and even when I was so nervous he somehow kept me calm. His experience is priceless and he helped give me a financial future. Truly, thank you!

I can’t Thank Dave Kramer enough for defending me on my case! My ex falsely accused me of domestic violence and my Kids were my witnesses. Police didn’t want to listen to me, Plus they wouldn’t interview my kids. Worse part My ex attacked me! Police will never really listen to us men! Even though my kids said to the officers my mom was lying! It didn’t matter at all.
Dave Kramer fought for me and told me We will win this and you will get at least 50/50 custody, plus we will get these bogus charges dropped!
I Prayed that I would be Free of these bogus charges and have my boys. At the end of the day, Dave kept his word I have my Boys 50/50 and proved my innocence. Charges Dropped! Thank you Dave!
My Kids Thank you too!

I'd like to thank Mr. Kramer for all that he's done for me. His guidance and persistence compares to no other. When other lawyers gave up on me, he fought for my case and with a positive outcome I can honestly say I'm grateful to have retained him.
Without a doubt I'd recommend Mr. Kramer to anyone facing legal problems.

I was charged DUI and was very much worried as a family man. After seeing Kramer’s experience and initial meet with him, I gained confidence but was very nervous until the case disposed. Kramer explained the process well and and given the clear options at every stage. Patience is the only key we should keep throughout the time. He changed my case to Reckless and made sure i am not receiving any other sentencing, he really made it. I would highly recommend him for any criminal charges and he would do wonders.

Had a problem with a former employee and a competitor. Mr. Heed resolved the issue to my complete satisfaction, much faster than I thought it was going to take. What I really liked was that he returned my phone calls and e-mails promptly. I have had lawyers who took several days to return calls or e-mails, and it always bothers me because I am paying the bill. This guy was real professional and easy to work with.

I was clueless and nervous going into my first ever "Creditor's Exam". I had no idea what to expect, how court would go, and what I should say to the judge, etc. Mr. Howell was the "Shining Star" of the attorneys that replied to my questions!! He went above and beyond with many follow-up messages giving me more advice and fuel for my upcoming "Battle". He installed a great deal of confidence in me (& my wife) and even provided me a literal statute quoting exactly what I needed to present to the judge to protect our privacy. George was professional yet compassionate and seemed to REALLY care! This gentleman helped us immensely and we are so thankful!!

George helped me understand my options that varied from technical mistakes that could get the case tossed out and how to handle the case straight on and get the right judge. He was able to get me in front of a fair judge that listened to my entire problem and gave me credit for proactive action. George requested a Cobbs ruling from the just and it worked out fine. I am just finishing probation and will have my felony hidden from all public access. Essentially I have a clean record thanks to George. He previously was a police officer and he offered me a unique perspective on how thing happen and even a bit of advice that was for my own good. George is very prompt with my calls and works for a very good law firm that can bring other legal experts as needed. I was never left without proper reprentation in multiple court dates. It all worked out as good as could be expected. Im a better person for it all and George has help me save my reputation.

I hired Ms. Koopmans-Schwartz to do my Will and a very complicated trust for me. When it was completed, I was astounded at her command of my wishes and the verbiage she used to express all my wishes. When I moved to another state and took my Will and Trust to an attorney there to make sure it conformed to their laws, he was extremely impressed with the way it was written and said he was surprised that everything complied with this state and nothing had to be changed. This, he said, was most unusual. Yes, I would recommed her.

Matt is fantastic and the best attorney around. He is firm, fair, and friendly. He has a personal touch and will keep you informed as you go through any legal process. I've had Matt as an attorney and always came away satisfied with the results of court. He goes to bat for you. Never doubted that I would get my driver's license back.
He will work with you on the payment and is very responsible. In some respect, my life wouldn't have turned around if it wasn't for Matt helping me get second and third chances.

I had an idea for a technology based product and created a small business. Chris was instrumental in the establishment of the company. Because it was a Tech product I had Chris file a Provisional Patent. Chris understanding of technology as well as engineering made for a comprehensive, Provisional Patent that encompassed my idea as well as future applications of my product. After 12 months of developing my product and researching the viability of it, I had Chris file for a Utility Patent. He was able to incorporate the product evolution and gave me a feeling that due to his knowledge and attention to every minor detail, my patent will be very difficult if not impossible to get around. I highly recommend Mr Chris Falkowski as an attorney who takes the time to understand your needs, a very broad knowledge of technology and thorough understanding of the law.

I'm a small business owner who was struggling to collect from a delinquent client. Christopher Falkowski was very helpful in assessing the situation, advising me, and developing a demand letter that I'm confident will get us paid for the work we did. I originally contacted Mr. Falkowski for a simple demand letter, but he demonstrated that I was able to issue a notice of breach, demand for payment, notice of copyright infringement, and request to cease and desist. He is very knowledgeable and understands IP and business law. I'm very grateful for his assistance and expertise in this important matter.

Excellent! With Falkowski's utility patent filing on my behalf, we had full approval and a patent # issued in just 1 year! (with the right idea combined with his excellent legal direction) Straightforward & resonable fees. Highly knowledgable, and very capable to explain the complexities of the patent & trademark process to his clients. I highly recommend Chris Falkowski & continue to use his many legal services.

I would not recommend Samantha Heath. I chose Samantha based on her AVVO rating, all of her honors and awards, and years of experience. However, I was extremely disappointed in the representation that I received from her and her team.
I was informed that a divorce without minor children should take 3-5 months and it should be in the $5000-$10,000 range if it doesn't go to trial. Five months after hiring Samantha, not only was I still not divorced, but she had not drafted any settlement proposals or even begun division of assets. When I questioned the timing, she insisted that the divorce was on track and that the timing was very typical.
Samantha had billed me over $8500 while my husband had been billed just under $3000 from his attorney for just about the same number of hours worked on the case. The majority of my husband's work was handled by his lawyer's assistant or paralegal while almost all of the work for my case (with the exception of ½ an hour) was billed at Samantha's rate of $395 including all of the administrative work and her responses to my emails questioning why the divorce is taking so long. I also never received any bill until after the retainer fee was used up and she was billing for more money. She claimed that I was not set up to receive them. I had asked Samantha to revisit her billing rate, but she told me that the fees that I had been billed are appropriate and reflect the complexity of my case and the expertise provided and that her hourly rate is commensurate with her over 30 years of experience in family law.
Communication was also very poor with Samantha and things were very sloppy. She did not explain things very well and in some cases gave conflicting advice which required additional emails for clarification. Forms were received with misspelled information, as well as misinformation. I could go on with other issues, but these are the most significant.

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.
