Ziad is the zenith of reliability. His professionalism and focus, not just on serving his client, but on performing his services with ethical precision, surpass most other attorneys in the private sector. I have had the privilege to work with Ziad, both as a professional colleague and in an attorney-client role, and I can vouch for anyone seeking to retain him as his or her legal counsel. You will not be disappointed with your decision.

Howard Raab is absolutely one the best Attorney's I have ever worked with. For starters he is knowledgeable, thorough, understanding, and compassionate! Everything that he said would happen, did and just the way that he had explained it. He and his staff are very efficient and prompt. I am beyond satisfied with the work that Howard has done for me, as well as the advice that he gave to me afterwards. I would recommend him and his legal expertise to anyone. I am even going to hire him again for an Estate matter. I cannot wait to begin working on that process with him. I have hired many attorneys within my life and Howard Raab is truly one of the best!

Mr. Harding has been such a blessing as I have navigated through this difficult process. I can not comprehend how much time and detail must go into his thorough research to ensure the best outcome for myself and his other clients. I could not have navigated my way through this legal battle with respect to my private student loans without him. He is a very dedicated and driven individual who has proven to be very trustworthy. During this process I have gotten a glimpse of the complexities of legal matters, and was grateful to have Mr. Harding there every step of the way. He and his associate Karen have always made themselves available if I had questions or concerns. Because of Mark's patient nature, I always felt as if all of our conversations were very thorough, and I always felt as if I was kept up to date on every aspect of my case. Mark also maintained a honest and straightforward approach throughout our correspondence, and was quickly able to reassess the situation when necessary. In my experience he has been extremely patient, provided guidance, and always maintained a professional attitude. I entered this situation feeling as if I was in a very dire situation, but I quickly was put at ease when I recognized Mark's compassionate and genuine demeanor. He will do everything he can to help you through the complexities of the legal process. I would highly recommend Mr. Hardig to anyone without reservation, and have complete faith in his exemplary dedication to his clients and knowledge of the law. I am forever grateful to have had Mark represent me.

The medical profession is typically divided between the general practitioner and the specialist. The legal profession is similar between the general attorney and the specialist attorney. I had an employment issue so I went to an employment specialist attorney - Neil. First, he was very good in discussing the situation and explaining the issues to me. Second, he consulted his 3 partners on a few things. The "team" approach is very big in a number of professional services, including health, and, in my case, 4 heads were better than 1. Third, although he was the attorney "in charge" I never felt I was standing on the sidelines. Neil kept me very well informed and respected my opinions and decisions. Many times when we're looking for specialists in any field, we turn to online reviews. I'm throwing in my hat for Neil. When you want the best specialist in employment law go with him.

I filed a suit after my husband died tragically at work. I had never sued someone so I did not know how to navigate through something of this magnitude. Collin was extremely helpful, patient and extremely empathetic. He went above and beyond to thoroughly explain what exactly was happening throughout the process and was always available to answer my questions. He exuded professionalism and confidence throughout the case and that was very comforting. He offered great advice and I trust the outcome was the best it could have been.

In December of 2015, my daughter made a mistake. She got involved with the wrong person, and ended up accused of a felonious assault and theft. I found Atty. Jones's number in the phone book, called his office, and he saw me that afternoon. He also introduced me to his associate, Atty. Ron Yarwood, and the two of them took care of my daughter's case. They immediately took steps to get her out of jail and released on bond. They informed us of her legal rights and liabilities, and kept us informed of the progress of her case. They educated us from the beginning on what my daughter's risks were, and negotiated hard on her behalf. From the outset, they told us that they had no fear of going to trial, if that was what her defense demanded; but in the end, they were able to negotiate her sentence down to 2 misdemeanors, with her punishment being only a year's probation. I was very gratified over the fact that they quoted me a fixed fee at the beginning, and never asked for any more fees as the process went on. I also found them both to be very accessible. I contacted them by email and phone on numerous occasions and they always replied the same day or the next. I always felt that they had my daughter's best interest at heart, but they also never let her forget how serious the trouble was that she had gotten into. I am extremely grateful to them for their time and expertise as well as the outcome they were able to negotiate for my daughter. I fear that, with a less competent team, the outcome could have been substantially worse.

People who complain about her pricing, truly mind-blowing! People should NOT bargain shop when trying to fight for custody of their children, the outcome will be less than desired. Over the last year, Lynn has given me 110% during a very stressful custody case. A case that involved my children being taken to Florida without me knowing and false abuse accusations. Attorney Bruno assured me throughout every step of this process and kept me updated on all possible outcomes. The BEST possible outcome, was the outcome Lynn got me!

When I progressed far enough with my design to begin discussing patent filing as a first time filer, of course I had plenty of questions, and Tyler was there with all the answers and no matter how complicated the scenario seemed to me, he was able to explain everything in terms I could understand. I HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone attempting to protect their intellectual property.

I selected David Corrado because I believed he'd be a bulldog. I need someone tough for a fraud/unpaid debt case. He told me what I was up against, he told me it would cost me a LOT of money (his fees), and that it would be much greater if we had to go to court. He was right on all counts. It ended up being settled on the second round of mediation. It cost a LOT of money. But he put up with the deadbeat schmuck, and got him to pay. He made sure my interests were secured and that all loose ends were tied up. I probably could have paid less and gotten less, but I took a risk and I think it paid off.

I have happily hired Doug Whipple for 21 years. He has been a Blessing to me, my family and other litigants. He has the uncanny ability to get to the heart of the matter at hand. At times that resulted in me not pursuing litigation. Other times he has facilitated Justice through Fair, Compassionate, Evenhanded and Reasonable settlements. Doug is friendly, listens well, and has great empathy. This allows him to ferret out necessary facts that others overlook. He may come off as a “Colombo” type personality at times, but is clearly sharp, astute, perceptive, intelligent and downright shrewd as necessary. His methodology is to leave no stone unturned and ask enough questions in order to learn the necessary circumstances, business, processes and/or context as though he were a primary party in the situation. This is an uncanny skillset that sets Doug a cut above the normal lawyer. Doug has been helpful in high-tech Information Technology cases, Human Resource settlements, Business Contracts and even assisting in rather ugly inheritance disputes. During long depositions, I have seen opposition lawyers become increasingly unsettled as his persistent and unremitting behavior leads him to tease out compelling evidence and facts. His relentless approach often leads to impeachment of opposing witnesses if not outright settlement. Doug has demonstrated fearlessness in the face of Courtroom Battle. He is dedicated to his clients. Doug is my “Go To” initial lawyer whenever a legal matter comes up. It is a comfort to have him in our lives. Doug is compassionate, has demonstrated empathy and sees issues, concerns and disputes from all sides. This produces the best resolutions for all concerned. I highly recommend Douglas Whipple to anyone needing First-Rate, First-Class Legal Assistance. I have done so to my dearest friends and family. I would hire him again as circumstances require.

I had the privilege of working with Paul Croushore on a recent legal matter, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with his expertise and strategic approach. Paul's brilliant legal strategy was pivotal in getting our case dismissed, leading to a successful outcome in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. Paul represented us in a complex copyright infringement case brought against us by Growella, Inc., a mortgage company based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Growella, represented by John Bennett from Frost Brown Todd, alleged that we, Phillip Ganz and other defendants, had infringed on their copyrighted content related to the home buying and mortgage process. Despite the plaintiff's strong representation, Paul immediately recognized the critical issue of personal jurisdiction and strategically focused on this point. Paul filed a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction, meticulously arguing that Growella's claims did not meet the required legal standards to establish jurisdiction in Ohio. His arguments were clear, compelling, and backed by a deep understanding of the relevant legal principles. He expertly navigated the complexities of both the Zippo test and the Effects test, demonstrating that Growella had failed to show that our actions were purposefully directed at Ohio residents or that our website targeted Ohio more than any other state【6†source】. Judge Matthew W. McFarland agreed with us in every respect, dismissing the lawsuit by Growella. Paul argued that, based on case law, transfer or dismissal was the appropriate course of action. While he acknowledged that transfer could be considered if deemed appropriate, he did not request it. Moreover, Bennett opposed the transfer, so the judge dismissed the case outright. This decision was a complete victory, as the judge agreed with Paul on every facet of the argument. Thanks to Paul's efforts, Growella, Inc.'s complaint was dismissed without prejudice, and the case was terminated from the court's docket【5†source】【6†source】. Attached is a copy of the judge’s decision. This victory over Growella, Inc. and their counsel, John Bennett of Frost Brown Todd, is a direct result of Paul's legal acumen, thorough preparation, and strategic foresight. His ability to anticipate the opposition's arguments and counter them effectively was invaluable. Throughout the process, Paul kept us informed and confident in our legal standing. I highly recommend Paul Croushore, JD, LLM, to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation. His dedication, expertise, and strategic brilliance are truly unmatched.

Dear Reader, I was humbled when Dr. Croushore accepted my case. Please allow me to explain. I believe that many would have looked down me, not accepted my case, Or charged me Over Abundantly in attorney’s fees simply on, prima facie (at first glance), due to the nature of my convictions without hearing the full details. Dr. Croushore, however, impartially heard my pleas for assistance, looked beyond the superficial elements of my case and represented me in an extraordinary fashion. It was a rare privilege to have Dr. Croushore represent me as an advocate of Justice for Humanity. My family and I thank Dr. Croushore for his extraordinary efforts, tenacity for details and fortitude to stand up for what is right. Respectfully, J.Roper

I hired Paul to help me with an appeal. His ability to very quickly grasp a complicated case that had already been going on for years was amazing and reassuring. I am not a fan of lawyers after what happened to me and Paul helped restore my faith in the legal profession.

Brian has gone above and beyond to help me personally and professionally. He is knowledgeable, responsive, courteous and his integrity is beyond reproach. I not only trust him to handle my legal matters but I would also have no hesitation referring a friend or family member to him as well. He has helped me with many real estate matters and has always taken the time to personally reach out via a phone call to make sure I understood the matter at hand and gave me great advice.

Mr. Jacobs is the best lawyer I have ever had . He is very fair priced, and is willing to work with you on payments. He is very honest with you on every aspect of your case.

Mr. Jacobs has served as lead legal counsel for Positive Results since 1998. He has been an integral part of all aspects of our business. He created our Master Services agreement, Statements of Work (SOW) templates, created and continuously updates our employment and independent contractor agreements, and provides solid legal advice on all of our 3rd party reseller agreements. His attention to detail in all aspects of his work has been noticeable throughout our ongoing relationship. In fact, Mr. Jacobs recently saved us what could have been thousands of dollars in lost revenue by pointing out a specific clause in a partnership agreement where the 3rd party company held rights to sever the relationship without cause. In our industry, that can be a huge disaster. I would recommend Joseph Jacobs to anyone seeking solid corporate legal advice at reasonable rates. Mr. Jacobs has always demonstrated the highest regard for integrity and character. He represents us, but is always mindful to be fair to all parties involved.

I have worked with Julie and her excellent staff (on and off) for the past 3 years to resolve my child custody case. I could not ask for a more professional and genuinely caring group of people who were always there for me when I needed them and made me feel like my case was a priority. I feel fortunate to have such a great lawyer looking out for me and my family, and I plan on having Julie represent us in the future.

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.
