Denise helped my family with estate planning. She is an outstanding attorney and very detailed oriented. She explained every document to us and made the process so easy! She provided us with a comprehensive "book" with all documents in one place. Denise is also very kind and compassionate. I highly recommend Denise and her firm.

This Law firm is a joke! On Christmas Eve our Apartment flooded because our landlord didn’t insulate the pipe they repaired. Despite ruining our Christmas Day, New years and damaging our electronics, etc . We were told yesterday that we need to clean out our apartment and vacate it entirely so that they can renovate it this Saturday after we paid our rent January 1st. Our Apartment complex is not helping us with our damages or a hotel room or anything. I reached out to this law firm for help and they told me that they’re not taking any New tenant/landlord cases, to go to some bar association. Which we don’t qualify for because it’s for low income individuals. Some help! We’re literally going to lose all of our belongings and become homeless until our renters insurance put us in a hotel after we pay our deductible for 500$ and we find another place to live. None of this is our fault yet we’re the only ones coming out of our pockets to fix the issue the apartment caused. this law firm is a joke! picking and choosing which cases they want. They’re not helpful at all.

I worked with Justin Jeager at this office and the service was great. He was very professional, helpful, guiding and informative. Justin really assisted well and did an awesome job in meeting my expectations of filing bankrupcy. He was always available for questions and did a thorough job on all paperwork needed. Justin was clear in all directions and made the process as comfortable as possible! I really appreciated all his hard work!

They recently sent me a random invoice for $7,488, which is now 11-years after their representation was concluded. My account was paid in full since 2013 when their representation ended. I have heard nothing from them since until this new invoice, that only included a business card for Emily, their client relations person and a return envelope for payment. I immediately emailed Emily with Patricia Jo Stone and Justin Jeager copied requesting confirmation the invoice was erroneous and asked for written confirmation within 48-hours. Emily responded the next day, “I believe I have resolved this billing matter after receiving information from Justin this morning.” I again requested written confirmation the invoice was in error, they had performed no work for me since 2013 and there had been no open matter with the firm since 2013, mostly because a belief is not written confirmation of their error. I waited not only the 48-hours I originally requested, but an additional 48-hours before posting this review. As of this review, Emily, Paricia and Justin remain unresponsive, despite me providing them additional time for a proper written response resolving their error. A pretty upsetting random bill and unresponsive approach 11-years after parting ways with them being fully paid for well over a decade. As background, I hired Justin Jeager in July of 2012 on a consulting basis for a Pro Se child custody modification proceeding that was fairly simple. I aimed to navigate the issue efficiently, but wanted legal advice and a professional review of filings. I initially found the consultation option attractive; however, as the modification progressed we transitioned from a consulting arrangement to traditional representation for this modification matter. Unfortunately, Justin’s abilities were dramatically limited at the time. He was verbally clumsy, unorganized and generally ineffective in the courtroom. He took excessive time to prepare items that other attorneys I worked with since were much more efficient in navigating. The problems and inefficiencies Justin brough to my case led to Patricia agreeing to a reduction of billed fees following the final outcome on this modification matter. The agreed settlement of fees was instantly paid in October of 2013 and we parted ways. There has been no contact either written, billing or verbal since with 11-years now having elapsed. That is until the recently received erroneous invoice. What’s more, shall they feel there was somehow a balance, they don’t feel the need to send bills or in any other way communicate for 132 months on such a fictious balance?! Clearly, the firm fails to understand how to use their billing system, how to promptly and properly fix their billing errors and/or Colorado law related to statute of limitations. If you’re looking for sub-par representation that overbills then sends random $7K+ invoices 11-years after their representation ends, hire these guys. That is exactly what they provided for me!

I am giving this review of Brandon Campbell not only as a current client, but as a fellow professional for whom I have referred several of my clients to him for his service....I am a Wealth Advisor / Financial Advisor. This is my experience, and the experience of countless clients who have hired him for his professional services: Firstly, let me say that anytime we research and read testimonials for professionals, we have an obligation to be objective...to be careful to filter out what true service and satisfaction is for real ability and service rendered VS. what may be emotional outbursts from others; fabrications, and/or simply patchworks of opinion where the casting of blame or dissatisfaction may prove to have possibly been misplaced. I will speak factually about the experiences I have personally had, and of which, have been reported back to me directly by several of my clients. Brandon Campbell comes to the table with a wealth of knowledge in regards to the law that he practices. He has an enormous amount of intellect, yet carries himself professionally with such humility and grace. My own personal estate planning was due for a major overhaul, which included the development of various trusts. One of the things I appreciate the MOST about Brandon, is that he goes above and beyond the act of developing legal documents. He takes his attention to detail to the next level. He covers every base. He asks the right questions to make sure we are creating the right vehicles, and lastly, he takes steps to make sure my estate planning vehicles are funded, titled and beneficiary-labeled correctly. I have NEVER had an attorney take that much personal ownership of the process. I appreciate that he takes his time to really get to know not only the legal need my family has, but the complexities that surround our particular lifestyle and protection-planning concerns. In addition to my own testimonial, I must confess that every single client I have inquired with in regards to their experience with him has reflected these consistent sentiments. It is absolutely critical to my own practice that I only refer clients to professionals I can trust, and of whom have proven their commitment, ability, knowledge, and character. All of these qualities and behaviors are reflected in who Brandon Campbell is as an attorney. I appreciate all that he does to help his clients get what they need. He is honest, sincere, educational, and yet, he's not afraid to tell clients what they truly need to hear. There are so many attorneys out there who are simply out to say what they think their perspective clients want to hear. Brandon is true to his commitment to delivery honest, thorough, comprehensive, tailored legal solutions to his clients, and he settles for nothing less. THANK YOU Brandon, for being the attorney you are. My clients and I are truly grateful. And I am confident that those in search of an attorney who will be their powerhouse...their confidant...their strongest resource, will agree with me.

I have worked with Brandon Campbell as legal counsel during the formation, implementation, and continued execution of two non-profit corporations in Denver. His knowledge-base, thoughtfulness, insight, and compassion were integral to working through multiple issues that challenged us during the process. I feel that he went well above-and-beyond expectations during this time and continues to act in an advisory role when needed. His efforts have supported the development of a strong base for our organizations and will help to ensure future success. I would recommend his services without reservation.

He didn't even bring my file to my court date. I had to tell him what my charge was that he was supposed to be defending me for. The exact outcome that I hired a lawyer to prevent happened and Michael didn't even pretend to put up a fight. It wasn't an extremely serious charge that carried a long jail sentence but when I'm charged $2100 I expect for my lawyer to at least know what my charge is before my court date. I wish I didn't pay. I could have asked the first inmate I saw to defend me and they would have done a better job.

This is a top-notch law firm that has exceeded my expectations at every level. In addition to being effective and professional, the attorneys and staff consistently treated me with kindness and respect. They have an uncommon work ethic and always kept my best interest (and not their bottom line) in mind. I have no hesitation in highly recommending the law services of Clawson & Clawson, LLP. These are not just great attorneys, they are great people.

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.
