Attorney Mynsberge is the BEST most communicative professional Attorney in the World! He cares about his clients that are being treated unfairly, especially in a messy divorce case. He's the only reason I can actually sleep at night! The most amazing caring attorney I have ever had! His staff is on the same level of excellence!

I contacted Dempsey Law firm in Oshkosh because they were my dad's lawyers years ago and were held in high regard by my family. I needed help with a trust matter in Wisconsin. Heath Mynsberge handled this issue with me over the phone ,as I am in Florida. He was very well informed and grasped the cast of characters and what I was trying to accomplish, immediately. He was very thorough and presented my options clearly, allowing me to make a decision I feel very comfortable with. I appreciate the effort he put into this and the knowledge he provided to enable me to make an informed choice. I would not hesitate to use him in the future for my legal needs and would recommend him to others without reservation.

I've needed to hire Heath for personal and business matters and each time he went above and beyond what I expected. I referred some family members as well as business associates to him and they all had positive things to say. He responds very quickly to emails and phone calls and always puts his clients matters first.

I had an extremely complex business "divorce" when my business partner and I decided to separate our practice. With the assets and holdings in excess of $20 million USD, we needed an expert. Chuck did not let me down at all. The division went extremely well.
It should be noted that I began this division with another lawyer in town. The cost to undo what lawyer #1 did was expensive. Do not waste your money on some of the lowball attorneys in Oshkosh. This is your guy.

My life was up-ended by a husband that wanted a divorce after 33 years of marriage. After the initial shock wore off, friends suggested Chuck as he was a pit bull in the court room. Having never worked a professional job in my adult life, I had no idea that I was entitled to not only 50% of our joint marital property and savings/retirement accounts REGARDLESS of whose name they are in, but also spousal support from my ex.
Chuck listened to me cry, yell, and be crazy, never complaining or poo-pooing my calls.
In the end, I am better off without the cheating husband - and I have money to start my new life. Thanks to Chuck Hertel I am financially set even after my ex said I would never get my hands on his practice or retirement in his name!!!

Had a very challenging trust with differing levels of gifting. Other attorneys in this area seemed in over their heads with our complex trust. This guy knows trust issues and workarounds. He is a business guy (mostly deals with banks and other corps) but does private stuff as well.
Five stars.

Roy has been my attorney for almost ten years now. That’s when I started my business and connected with attorney Hegard. By far the best business decision I could of made. As nerve racking as it can be starting a business Roy stated the pro’s and con’s in a calming manner with such expertise. I never felt rushed or forced out of are meetings because there was another appointment waiting. Like most attorneys give you an hour time slot but cut you short 15mins because next appointment? Not with Roy, if he offers you the time you will get all that time. He will even answer the phone if you call, and if you have to leave a message he will call you back! Roy treats you like family and he had never let me down once! When I was looking to purchase some real estate Roy was quick to get the ball rolling, timing was top notch, and the guy overall just knows how to do his job. I never had to question his charges and it always seemed like I got a lot for a little. Trust me you will not be disappointed!

One of the most honest and and down to earth lawyers I ever met. Very polite and extremely courteous, but isn't afraid to talk real with you and doesn't sugarcoat the facts. The frequent updates on my case and open communication was very much appreciated. Always answered my questions, and if he didn't know he was honest but he always got back to me with an answer. I'm definitely hiring Roy again and I highly recommend him to all of my friends and family. Thanks again!

Attorney Kelly and Attorney Brand were zealous advocates for me in a highly complex employment dispute against a difficult opponent who was represented by a top-flight legal counsel. From Day one, attorney Kelly and Attorney Brand aggressively represented my interests despite the many challenges of my case.
In the face of these challenges, my attorneys were able to secure an award of my compensatory damages, double exemplary damages, and the full amount of my attorney's fees. In today's society I would have never thought that such a result could even be possible. Their thoughtful guidance, vast understanding of the law and ability to achieve results are second to none.
I would highly recommend Attorney Kelly and Brand to anyone in the Fox Valley and surrounding areas.
Thanks again gentlemen!

I hired this attorney for two small claims collections actions even though I usually do them pro se (for myself) because I had some doubt as to my rights to the claim. His research was thorough and his fees were reasonable. He gave me clear reasons why certain actions had to take place, educating me in the process. The good news was, because his letter to my customers had an attorney's name in the letterhead, it garnered instant respect and, in one case, full payment!

Through my job I qualify for a free 30 minute consultation with a lawyer. I was referred to Michael Lim. Michael called me before he needed to go into court, and chose to talk to me over the phone for maybe 15 minutes. I'm new with talking to a lawyer so I wasn't sure where to begin. I didn't have a lot of time to go over much of what is going on with my situation, most of my questions or contact information for people involved. To make a long story short, Michael was very fast to dismiss me and gave me very little advice. I guess it is because it was a free consultation. Maybe if you have a lot of money and are not displaced from your home causing you to be behind on bills due to weekly motel fees, there might be potential that you will be treated as a person with feelings. Maybe if he is getting paid he would want to make time to help you instead of making you feel inadequate, stupid or like a burden. It is a shame that some people care more about money than what they can do to make a difference. Since Christmas night I have been struggling. None of the things going on are my fault. Thankfully I qualify to be referred to a new lawyer. I just hope this new one cares and is compassionate. I do not recommend Michael Lim to anyone, especially if you are poor.

Michael Lim helped us navigate a challenging case regarding a plaintiff against us. Michael was strategic in his deliberations that resulted in a successful outcome. He outlined his strategy with us in advance and met us to review the background and the pending court appearances. He outlined multiple levels of strategy that could be invoked depending on the developments in the trial. We felt very confident with his representation and would not hesitate to retain his services again if needed. He was professional in the court room environment and clearly expressed the legal parameters of the case. In summary, we could not have asked for a better legal representative for our case.

Sought “free legal advice”...this guy turned a 20-minute phone call in May 2016 into a money-grab of over $300 just this week. Be-littles me at every turn and sadly, has a history of a money grab. Expensive lesson...would not recommend unless you want to hire him to get you some cash cuz that is all he cares about.

We contacted Mr. Kelly and explained our situation. Mr. Kelly went right to work for us and was able to make progress on our case that we could not. He was able to get the WIAA to understand our situation and rule in our favor. We are truly greatful and look forward to watching our son compete in high school without any eligibility restrictions.
I don't believe we would have gotten the same result without Mr. Kelly's help!

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.
