Nathan Palmer has helped me through three different cases. I prevailed on each of the three. Nate is a very personable and caring individual with an abundance of knowledge. I will continue to use him for all legal matters and I would highly recommend anyone else do the same.

Nathan helped me get a stolen dog back. He worked tirelessly. He was so kind and patient. And thorough. My dog was being starved and abused so time was of the essence.
I'm going through an ugly divorce and the lawyer I picked is beyond awful.
Nathan put far more time into getting my dog back than the divorce lawyer has for over a year. I'm old so I can say this. He is a doll.

In our eight year relationship and contract with Racine Law Offices, of which Randy Budge preforms the duties of Managing Partner, the City of American Falls has been exceptionally well served.

Matt was extremely helpful in retrieving our property from a squatter. He also bent over backwards to provide what we wanted in our estate planning. He is really a pleasant person to communicate with and he is quite handsome on top of it all. I am old so I can say that!

My husband and I hired Matt Stucki to help us with several business purchases. Matt really took care of us. The thing that we like best about Matt is that talking him is like talking to a friend or acquaintance, but when it came to the paperwork everything was very official and provided the best protection for us. We would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for the best services at a very reasonable price.

I hired Daniel Hansen to represent me in a legal tiff I had gotten into while working in Rexburg, ID. From Day 1 Mr. Hansen was super informative and highly motivated and proactive in providing my defense to the states allegations. He actively checked the status of my case daily over the course of 4-5 months and immediately reached out to me regarding anything not discussed prior. He was respectfully stern when he would speak with the prosecutor on the case on what we wanted to see for the outcome. He never once disregarded anything that wasn’t in my best interest. Daniel provided all the relevant information and actions I could take prior to seeing the judge, to help ensure an outcome in our favor! Daniel even went a step above and offered support on a personal level, after I lost a close family member to COVID. Daniel truly cares about his clients situation whether in court or out. He is, in my opinion, the greatest lawyer you could ever acquire for service and representation. In the courtroom he seems to be highly respected by his colleagues and judges alike! Daniel was always upfront with me regarding everything about my case.
Daniel was always very professional in every interaction we had and he was excellent at communicating everything to me in a way I would understand! His prices were very reasonable and affordable and quite frankly a true bargain for all he has done. I talked to mulitple lawyers in the Idaho Falls/ Rexburg area before I contacted Mr. Hansen and was starting to lose any hope that I had. After the first call I made to his office I no longer had that feeling of despair, instead a renewed faith that all would end well. And it did! I would highly recommend Daniel Hansen to anybody looking for legal services in Idaho. he has proven he will fight tooth and nail to ensure the best possible outcome for his clients. Thanks Daniel and everyone at Hansen Legal!

I wish I could give negative stars. This law office has wasted a year and half of my time with my child custody case. I have literally gotten nowhere. A motion for contempt means absolutely nothing if the other parent isn’t going to cooperate. Apparently this lawyer and law office is clueless as to what to do if the other parent doesn’t want to cooperate because law enforcement will refuse to help get the other parent to cooperate. And that’s all this office kept saying, is to get law enforcement to enforce the custody agreement and the motion for contempt. Low and behold, law enforcement refuses to help. Not only has this law office and lawyer made me look like a fool, I am at square one with my case. What a complete JOKE.

I had an excellent experience with this office. Very kind, nonjudgmental, and flexible with my needs. I was not familiar with the legal world at the beginning of my divorce process and they took the time to answer my questions and clarify what steps would come next. I would recommend for anyone who is finding themselves trying to navigate a formal lawsuit.

I hired Craig Parish to handle my divorce and custody case. I paid his high retainer and it was gone in a couple days. I kept getting bill after bill. A 3 min phone conversation of him telling me he needed a copy of some paperwork billed at $75! Then before we went to to courts he said I should mediate with my ex-wife first. He basically told me to give her everything she asked for and told me that the judge would do the same thing. He said I had no way to stop her from moving my son 5 states away and that the visitation schedule was "fair". I have talked to different attorneys since then and they have all told me the same thing... "File a complaint with the courts and sue him for any future legal fees because the divorce agreement was so short term that I would be back in court 18 months later". I can't believe how ridiculous his advice and his "representation" was! I would give him 0 stars if I could but he gets 1 by default. If you are considering hiring this man I would give you this advice, DON'T! He was a better attorney for my ex-wife than for me!

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.
