Called and did most over the phone with John Frazier. He understood the unusual circumstances of having limited ability to come into the office as I care for my disabled son. He took my minor sons misdemeanor careless driving case. He sent all forms to retain via email. Things got done quickly. He kept me informed of all dealings with the court or prosecutors at all times. We conversed mainly via email and he was very confident for the outcome of my case each step of the way. When I worried or waiverd he was professional in the manner in which to ease my concerns. I gave my complete trust and faith in him and he prevailed. I strongly recommend this firm and its team. Best part he was less than a “friend” was going to charge. Glad I made the call. Thank You John Frazier you will be my to go guy from here in our should I need a lawyer.

Mr. Fraser represented me in a child custody case in Ingram county. I had not previously been represented in family court and the results were devastating. My sons father was granted full physical custody and I was only allowed weekend and holiday visits. For eight years this went on.
I had told everybody about the situation at my son’s father‘s house and how bad it was a nobody would listen, except for Mr. Fraser.
They’re finally came a time when evidence of alcohol abuse and domestic violence from an outside source became available. And Mr. Fraser utilized that evidence to change my family’s life! After eight years of fighting, tears, lost time, and trying to tell my story, the truth was being told. We took this evidence to friend of the Court in Ingham County and Mr. Fraser was effective in presenting the evidence in a manner in which the judge was able to make a decision that was very positive for me, my son and our family.
I have recommended Mr. Fraser to many of my coworkers and friends struggling to navigate family court and FOC.
I consider Mr. Fraser a part of our extended family and we will forever be grateful.

I am a MMMP card holder with medical marijuana patient status and am licensed to grow my own medicinal marijuana plants at home. Thinking I was doing everything according to the rules, didn't prevent law enforcement from coming to the house to pay a visit. And in the process found things that they we're going to challenge....... period. Long story short, I wound up with Felony Manufacturing charges. Which if prosecuted to the full extent of the law would bring 4 years in prison with it. I knew immediately that I would need good, rather great, representation. That's when I contacted attorney John Fraser at Grewal Law in Okemos, and asked him to come on board. And thank God I did. First of all, as far as anyone in the Greater Lansing area that is an expert on Michigan Medical Marijuana Law, it's attorney Fraser for sure. So if you have a case pertaining to anything drug related, I would highly recommend your contacting him. But his expertise travels well beyond that of drug related law. And the team he works with at Grewal are also people of integrity, with a diverse array of special qualifications for really any legal need. My case looked as though it would be bound over to the circuit Court. But when he was able to present a few of our arguments to the prosecutor, she was faced with the reality that her case wasn't worth pursuing. And yes, without ever needing to even be present for my preliminary exam, the decision was made to throw out my case entirely! Judge signed the papers the following morning. And now all of this is behind me now...... for good. And for that I sincerely thank and commend Mr. Fraser.

I've had2 3rd offense drinking n driving in my past nothing to be proud of but instead to be scared of . This time I honestly only was pushing my bike hours later after it stalled but had been drinking n was arrested for drinking n driving. Joseph was honest enough to tell me if we took it to trial he would give it his all but and believes we have a 90% chance of winning but there is a 10 % chance the jurors would look at my past and convict me and I would do 5- 8 years and ask if I was to take that chance. I wasn't, I'm not . Joseph has fought and kept me from going to jail and has also fought for me to be able to battle with my cancer at home. What I'm trying to say is I wasn't just a paycheck or just another client to be pushed and over with . He fought for me as my own individual like he will do his next client. Thank you Joseph!

Ms. Adel helped with my case vs the UIA by writing an appeal letter with supporting evidence to the ALJ. She worked in a timely manner to do this, answered all my questions via email within one day, explained every step of the appeal process, faxed the appeal on my behalf, and even spoke with me over the phone. Ms. Adel even answered my questions after the appeal was submitted regarding the next steps for either outcome but due to the strong letter she wrote me, the ALJ rule was in our favor. I am very thankful to have had Ms. Adel helping me and I will hire her again in the future if I ever need it.

We could leave a message via phone, text, or email, and I guarantee you they will respond either immediately or within a short time frame. Coming from a mother who had been in the legal field for 30+ years and knowing numerous attorneys, hats off to Marcus and Bob!! They, by far, show they are all about making their client happy as well as getting you the best end result. You always know what options you have, and you are never kept in the dark!

I have hired Greg Basor to buy and sell several properties in the past three years and can honestly tell you that you will not find a better listener and negotiator to have on your side. He is extremely thorough and thoughtful in all aspects of real estate for buyers and sellers and also the new well & septic inspection law requirements prior to any real estate sale in Mid Michigan. Best attorney I ever had highly recommended.

In an industry rampant with tightrope walkers--walking the line between morals and strategy--this attorney seems to be able to get the job done while exuding high levels of ethics and honesty. Mr. Cervenak will only continue to blossom in this industry as he builds a solid repeat business and continues to expand his penchant for serving the public in various positions such as East Lansing's Planning Commission and the Board of the East Lansing Library. They don't get any better.

My mom passed away September of 2020. My uncle hired this lawfirm in February of 2021 to settle her estate. She had a will. It took this lawfirm until February of 2024 to finish up and pay out the the recipients, only to have the two checks ( for over 50 thousand dollars) bounce. They had my uncle sign the checks November 30th and then waited for 10 weeks to send them out.So they were to old to be honored. Now I'm wondering how many years am I going to have to wait for them to have my uncle come in and reissue those two checks. We shall see.

The Best criminal defense team you can hire.
Without going into too much detail a Not Guilty Verdict saved our lives!!
Mary Chartier is a fantastic Lawyer and really is impressive during trial.
She will not back down from prosecutors,judges,etc.. Killer cross exams and attention to detail is just part of what makes Mary the best criminal/trial lawyer. Mary is super personable, realistic, straightforward, and a fantastic person. One of the hardest working and committed persons that I have ever met. She has the unique ability to be such an easy going fun person. However, when the time comes to be tough and fight for her clients no one can fight harder or be tougher than what I witnessed from her in court.
We also had the pleasure of working with Amy Ronayne Krause at C&N. Amy is so sweet and caring you might forget how amazing and qualified she is as a former prosecutor and judge. Amy is a wealth of knowledge and experience with the compassion like I have never seen before. I am so glad Amy joined the team and really helped Mary with out with our defense.
Another main player in helping our case was Kurt Krause. Kurt like Amy and Mary is a brilliant Attorney. We spent a lot of time with Kurt at many Pretrials, Motions, and a preliminary hearing. He excelled at all. Kurt was able to give us great life advice along with the best legal advice during the long wait that the criminal justice system . He managed to reduce the bond and work hard to make sure we were informed and up to speed with everything we needed to know.
I also need to say the rest of the staff we worked with are fantastic too. Chartier & Nyamfukudza, P.L.C. has my praise on all aspects of the Law from the beginning to most importantly The "NOT GUILTY" at trial. The jury needed only a few minutes to reach the NOT GUILTY conclusion as this team of lawyers is the absolute best in my opinion.
If you have been falsely accused of a crime and need the best representation possible, Chartier & Nyamfukudza, P.L.C. will help you out like no other .

He gets his business by paying the Michigan Bar a monthly fee to be referred to; which I unfortunately trusted the Bar. He takes retainer immediately then misses deadlines, provides work that is far below adequate then keeps the retainer when he’s fired. Do not hire this man; totally incompetent

Mr Path is not a good attorney. I hired him and right from the start I became concerned when he would offer more excuses for not doing his work, missing filing deadlines, and just plain not knowing the law. I do not understand how he can practice law for 30+ years and bill clients for work that is so poor.

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.
