Paths Law Firm, without question, is the wisest choice for help with my Family's Elder Law Legal needs.
From the initial informational meeting, I knew paths Law Firm was going to be an asset in developing a "Path" that my Family could follow to meet our Trust, and Power of Attorney needs.
Russell's understanding and care about our Family's situation and his unprecedented knowledge of the correct legal requirements were only the beginning. He was so kind that he even made a house call.

I’m so happy I was able to find Colantuono Guinn Keppler, I worked with Ben and he was great! He took his time to explain things, and he was always willing to answer any questions I had no matter how insignificant the question was, he extended so much grace during this whole process as well, and for that, I’m even more grateful! I would recommend Ben to anyone who is looking for a lawyer who truly cares about his clients!

I received a referral for Colantuono Guinn Keppler from a trusted friend after he had success working with them. After working with them myself, I feel extremely comfortable giving them my highest recommendation. It’s rare to find a law firm that will put your needs as a human being above their interests. In what was a difficult time, I was glad to have unbiased counsel around the benefits and drawbacks of multiple paths of recourse. My attorney, Ben Ashworth, was steadfast in his support, preparing me mentally for what lied ahead. He worked diligently, methodically, and thoughtfully as a fierce advocate for me throughout the process. In what was an emotionally exhausting and taxing time, I was so grateful to feel seen, heard and cared for.

I was facing some very rough and tough circumstances. My parents left an inheritance and my siblings didn’t want me to have my fair share, in fact they didn’t want me to have a dime. Keenan let them know he was representing me and I would not be taken advantage of. Within a month of closing an irrevocable trust, I had money in the bank and am debt free. Had Keenan not been my lawyer I’d still be waiting for what is rightfully mine. He turned an awful time for me that could have ended up with many sleepless nights into a walk in a flower garden on a summers night. He did so gracefully and honorably. He will be my first go to lawyer for all situations. Trustworthy, honest, forthright, forthcoming, intelligent and knowledgeable all in one highly respectful package. I feel complete confidence in handing him the reins on all of the trusts created for me and my family. My world is definitely a better place because Keenan is in it! He is the total package, par excellence!

Keenan came to me as a referral from a friend. My dad's wife petitioned to be administrator of my dad's estate. Keenan helped with all aspects of this case in order for her not to take advantage (which she was trying to do) of my siblings and I. Every step of the way he was kind and compassionate. He had been in my shoes so was very empathetic. He's extremely intelligent in all matters of Estate Planning. I've already recommended him to family and friends. If you're needing to take care of end of life planning you won't go wrong with this lawyer.

Daniel Dorsch provided our family with outstanding service. He helped us make out a trust for my kids to be taken care of after we have passed. He made it so simple for them to do what is required to settle our affairs with little or no headache. His attention to detail passes any lawyer I have had the pleasure of working with. His knowledge of the trust laws and what is acceptable and unacceptable in the trust was above the knowledge of other trust lawyers or the fast and furious internet. He is a professional and a credit to his services that he offers. Daniel charges a fare and equitable price for his expertise and knowledge and I had no problem paying for the product we received. It came in a beautiful hard backed binder that was divided into easy to read instructions that my children will be able to take to the bank or carry out our wishes as written. I would highly recommend Mr. Dorsch to anyone that needs a will or a trust. He was also able to prepare a living will for my wife and I in the event of an untimely demise. Plus his demeanor puts you at ease and also he helps you uncover things that you have not thought about in making a trust or a will. I am very grateful to Daniel Dorsch for giving my family peace of mind in a time to come that will be difficult for them. Its just one thing that they will not have to worry about.

Dan Dorsch recently completed a trust for our family. He gently guided us through the decision process involved in creating a trust. He spent the time necessary to make us comfortable with our decisions.
Mr. Dorsch’s knowledge and expertise gives us confidence that the final product is legal, comprehensive and meets our needs both now and in the future. The overall experience was extremely positive and satisfying.
Anyone needing the services to create a will or trust will be well served to consider Daniel Dorsch as their attorney. Both my wife and I highly recommend him without any reservation.

Negative. This firm is knowingly contributing the deprivations of rights and it can be seen in United States District of Kansas case 2:23-CV02176, in which Partner Christopher T Wilson is being sued for his lead against the best interest of children. My children. Re:Wilson was just faxed to the State Disciplinary Administrator and affirmative from the Court in Judge ruling 7/14/23 case 18CV03813 shows that Wilson knowingly broke rules of the court. When a second October 24 2022 judge ruling warned Wilson to stop breaking rules of the court. Don't use this firm, that are not only negligent, they are dangerous to children's best interest. Buyer beware

Jacob Crane was an excellent attorney. He worked with my case every step of the way, kept on the case and got it dismissed. He never gave up on me and was very genuine and knowledgeable, I can’t express the gratitude my family and I have for him. He kept in touch, provided excellent legal advice and was diligent. He took my case when no other lawyer would and got me a win. Thank you so much Jacob.

My sister and I were looking for a attorney to help us settle our parents' estate. After some recommendations, we interviewed Jon Daugharthy. We immediately felt at ease and comfortable with him. He worked on our case right away with excellent results. He even gave us the option of doing some of the legwork ourselves to save some money.
Throughout the entire process, Jon kept us informed, and was responsive to our questions ad concerns. He was fair with his pricing and billed us in a accommodating manner. I have worked with many attorneys over the yeas and have never felt so comfortable and cared about as with Jon.

We contacted John to help set up our new business. He advised us on the proper legal structure and other requirements needed to establish our company. When decisions were needed from us, he clearly framed the considerations we should take for making our decision. As our business has grown, John has advised on various types of contracts and scenarios. John is highly responsive, thoughtful and respectful in all his dealings. He is quick yet thorough to complete the work, even on short notice. We intend to use John as much as we can in our business and also, to the extent possible, our personal needs. Thank you for all the great work, John.

I hired Kate for a will dispute case that I was caught in the middle of, and I have to say that she is the smartest, most capable, most thorough, and most helpful lawyer in Kansas. She was very kind, and helped explain to me all of the legal loopholes and guidelines involved in my case. I could tell that she truly wanted me to have the best outcome possible, and not just get this case over with. There is not a more perfect person for her job. I will be recommending her to everyone I can!

I never had a problem with getting immediate responses to my questions as they popped up. Everything that needed to be done was handled in a timely and professional manner...

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.
