When I opted to call Dave about a real estate transaction that I was being sued over, I never knew how fortunate I was in making that call. What should have been an easy matter to resolve turned into a 2.5 year battle - all because of the unprofessional behavior of the opposing council. I knew very little about the civil litigation process and statutes that govern them. Dave was very patient with me and made sure I understood along the way what to expect and the options I had at each decision point. In this way, he was a coach and trusted teammate. I could always depend on Dave to communicate quickly and openly everything that was going on between him and the opposing counsel. When I would ask for his opinion I could expect a calming voice on the phone often talking me off the ledge as I would catastrophize the situation. His advice was invaluable. These were the “soft” skills that Dave brings to the practice. Things that maybe you wouldn’t consider in choosing a lawyer. He presents himself as the neighbor next door and has a wide range of contacts and resources to draw upon. In addition to his personal style, Dave is an excellent lawyer and his years of experience shine in his knowledge of the law and the steps that need to be taken at each point in the case. In the end, we won the case without having to go to trial. But I had total confidence that if we would have gone to trial, we would have prevailed because of Dave’s preparation and full understanding of the case and the approach he would have taken. What could have turned into a financially ruinous situation for me turned into a windfall with a partial return of money that I had spent defending myself. DO NOT HESITATE TO MAKE THE CALL if you find yourself in need of a responsible lawyer that you can trust and depend on to represent you fairly and when necessary aggressively.

We have no doubt in our mind that we chose the right attorney to represent us during a complicated and frustrating construction defect matter. From start to finish, our three-year legal battle with a contractor based in Portland hand many unprecedented challenges, yet Dave Smith skillfully navigated through them all. With remarkable ease, he effectively managed our expectations and fought tirelessly on our behalf. We were delighted with the outcome and immensely relieved to finally put this matter behind us.

I am deeply grateful for Scott's recent guidance while navigating an employment separation. The situation felt so much bigger than me. I was overwhelmed, out of my depth, and unsure of how to protect myself. Scott's expertise gave me a sense of agency I didn't think was possible given the situation. His ability to cut through the complexity and explain things in plain language was a game-changer. He empowered me to understand my situation and make informed decisions. His guidance and support was beyond appreciated at a time when I felt I lost and helpless.
Scott charged a clear, upfront fee and was incredibly accessible and responsive. When we slightly exceeded our billed time, he assured me that the fee was for the seeing me through the process, not the clock, which was generous and an enormous relief. Scott's professionalism and integrity truly earned my trust and I'll definitely be keeping his contact info on hand for the future. 10 out of 10 recommend!

My husband and I needed legal representation regarding an inherited property buyout that required an immediate response. We found Scannellaw on-line and within a few days, Terry Scannell met with us, requested the necessary information, and guided us toward a legal outcome we were satisfied with. What we liked best about working with Terry was his honesty, perseverance, vast knowledge, reliable communication, and sense of humor when we needed it most. He did not disappoint and we were lucky to work with him. We highly recommend Terry and his team for any legal situation - they will deliver!

I spoke with Terry my phone. He provided me free consultation and gave me his honest and professional advice. He did not try to sell me something that I did not need. When he learned that I needed advice from someone more specialized, he gave me two different recommendations.
I was very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He would be the first person. I would call if I ever needed legal advice again.

Michael is a very straight forward great attorney Easy to work with and a good listener. Easy to work with his front office and him. Best experience I’ve had working with a law firm. Call him, text them or email. He has the bonus of working with the system/court/judges/and staff which is extremely important working with his team. Knowing the way and having the experience to be effective is a great service and asset.
He was very knowledgeable with my case and spelled out possibilities and the final outcome. I like him! He worked with me financially which was a blessing!
Thank you Team Hughes.

Grant has done a great job handling my divorce over the now two years that it has been going. He is intelligent and direct. He also knows the Hillsboro legal community, which is a great plus.
I give Grant my highest recommendation.
The rest of this review is just general advice on divorce with some comments as they relate to Grant...the stuff I wish someone had told me.
1) Things will go bad in the divorce. I don't care what you are saying to yourself right now. They will go bad. I promise. Get a lawyer right now if you can afford it.
2) Remember that lawyers get paid by the hour. Don't waste time telling them how much of a jerk your spouse is. They know. Just treat it like a business contract that went bad. The more emotional you are the worse the mistakes you are going to make. All that stuff is better done in mediation.
3) Get self counseling. I know that you believe that your spouse is the one with the problem. You are likely correct. But there are still insights that you can gain. Do you know why you picked the person you did? Do you know what you don't want in the future? Do you know what's best in terms of parenting time and your behavior around your ex? Maybe you do, but this is another thing I can only promise will help you.
4) Don't argue with your lawyer. You are probably wrong and they are probably right. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't question things you don't understand and also "trust but verify". Still, you are not, whether you know it or not, in the best mental condition. Grant, as well as any good lawyer has a much better perspective on the case than you do. Help them.
5) If you have assets over, let's say 50K, buy yourself an accountant. Believe me. They are very cheap compared to the expense every time the lawyer on the other side is confused. Grant is pretty good at accounting. However, don't assume that lawyers know anything about finances. The accountant can also talk in terms that your lawyer understands and can clarify much better than you can. They can also testify, if need be, to explain things to the judge.
6) Your lawyer is on your side. If he says something you don't like, well maybe its something you need to hear. Talk with him and treat him as if you are a team working for a common cause.
7) Always be the "good guy". Treat everyone with respect, be honest with the other side including admitting when you make a mistake. The process understands that no one is perfect. If you show you are trying your best to be fair and civil you will really do much better.
8) Oh, one last thing: Don't worry about how much a lawyer charges per hour. Why not? Well frankly you will rack up thousands of dollars in legal costs except for the most trivial of divorce. So, let's say you have a great lawyer that charges $250/hour and the crappiest one who was at the bottom of his class charges you $150. Yes, that's a big difference, but you get what you pay for. Seriously, not all lawyers are good...some are down-right crappy. So don't pick one only based on price.
9) Whoops, one final thing: Pay your lawyer NO MATTER WHAT. Money will be tight, but the last thing you want is for your lawyer to be worried if he is going to get paid or not. Imagine wondering if you will get paid at your job every week...a real demotivator! Work out what you need to do..talk to them if you can't pay, but always pay.
Good luck. It is a long road, but it does get better and there is an end.

I have had 3 different needs for an attorney, and Grant was able to help me with all three. I was able to meet with him in the Beaverton satellite office, which was much more convenient for me. I was also able to get an appointment in a timely manner. He is easy to talk to and non-judgmental. I would definitely use his services again should the need arise, and would recommend him to others.

He is all the above. I feel like he is in my corner and I feel good in the unfortunate circumstances when I need to go in to battle. Only issue preventing me from the fifth star is that he has never visited my office. I've worked with him for 4 years continuously.

So far our experience with Mr Shepard has been top notch, very knowledgeable, moral and ethical and seems to really care about people and understands that the real world and real experiences affect situations and its not always black and white. Well rounded and well versed in all the new laws, represented us in one hearing so far, and he immediately went to bat for us, and made us feel secure in his representation. His fees and billing are more than fair and he was more than willing and positive about making the other party accountable. Recommend him highly and will be using him in the future for real estate matters

Matt Shepard is a brilliant attorney and one of the most experienced and knowledgeable attorneys in the State of Oregon when it comes to landlord/tenant law. I was thoroughly impressed with the way he handled my case from the start to its conclusion, where we handedly prevailed.
Mr. Shepard has a firm grasp on complex litigation and has argued cases all the way to the Supreme Court. Having an attorney with Trial experience is invaluable and helps ensure a favorable outcome.
If your rights are being violated, if you have an abusive landlord violating your privacy, damaging your property or stealing money from you, then call Mr. Shepard.

David successfully negotiated a positive plea agreement regarding an auto accident that was my fault. From the start I felt he was "on my side". I also found him very easy to work with and he responded quickly to my communications. I would work with David again.

AAL Clarke assisted me on a bankruptcy case. He patiently and positively handled this situation with me professionally. I never wanted to be in this position in my lifetime - so that may have been interesting for him at times. He explained the process in detail with knowledge and confidence. Assisted in quickly finding appropriate filing timelines. He was a great asset and affordable through it all! Promptly returned my various inquiries. I'd recommend him to anyone who has to unfortunately endure this process.

David was accessable when I needed a question answered by phone, email and text. And when busy, he always got back to me in a reasonable time. I was very comfortable that he was looking after my best interests during the process. David was not as aggressive as other lawyers, which in a high conflict divorce might be necessary...However, I found him very personable and easy to work with during a time of great stress for me. I will continue to use David in any follow up and would definitely consider using David in another area of the law in the future.

In representing us, the lawyers were persistent, professional, and patient. They accommodated our needs and explained both the relevant law and how processes would apply to our case. They saw our case through to the end and worked through each step and "curve-ball" along the way. We hope we will never need their services again, but we would never hesitate to call them if we do. They have our highest recommendation as attorneys for anyone in need of representation for a medical malpractice case.

I had an excellent experience working with Jon Friedman. From the moment I contacted them, I felt supported and confident that I was in the right hands. Jon was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and always made sure to keep me informed about the progress of my case.
He took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the legal process, answered all of my questions, and made me feel like a priority. I highly recommend Jon to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. They genuinely care about their clients and go above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome!

Outstanding Immigration Attorney – Highly Recommend!
My husband and I had an amazing experience working with Benjamin Beijing Wang for our immigration case. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, my husband received his green card in just a little over a year!

He was always responsive to our questions, kept us informed at every step, and ensured that everything was handled correctly and efficiently. His attention to detail and understanding of immigration law gave us complete confidence in our case.

Bankruptcy is a process that takes patience and diligence to get through. When I met with Mr. O'Brien, I was in a bad financial situation and his guidance and advice helped to drastically improve my position in 5 years. I filed Chapter 13 with his representation and he worked to get me a very favorable monthly budget to manage repayments and still enable my day to day life. He's very good at his job. I would not choose anyone else for my friends or family, this is the right solution if you are considering a bankruptcy or looking for advice in dire financial straits.

These guys have been with me for 7 years through one of the scariest events of my life. Through that time, my case started at the worst spot possible, and over the years of hard work From the team which included Mark, Jeff, and Jake, my case is significantly less scary and difficult to deal with. I left everything in their hands and trusted them with every decision. They guided me through grueling interviews from prosecutors. They kept me feeling calm and safe during my time testifying as a witness. Jeff also always responded promptly to all my calls and texts throughout all hours of the day and the anxiety/Panic filled evenings. During all this time as well I got to stay with my family and live peacefully without fear during the courts work. I could not think of a better law firm for dealing with your criminal mistakes.

This is a review for the free one hour consultation that Mark offers. I missed the first appointment due to personal obstacles. Mark was so flexible to schedule another one for Sunday morning. I started the meeting with a whole mess of thoughts and open questions and went out of the meeting with a clear picture of what my next steps should be in regards to forming a small business. It was very helpful and I'll contact Mark again for future legal topics.

Mark helped with a client contract review on a very short notice making sure to get a review back to me in time for the negotiations. He was thorough and also pointed out the implications of some the things that weren't in the contract. He was also very easy to discuss things with and will follow up / research items that he may not have been aware about. I am a self-employed professional and he turned out to be a good fit for my budget & needs. Happily use him again.

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.
