I was referred to Tim by my divorce attorney to represent me on a separate legal matter. He reviewed the case and developed a strategy that resulted in two felony charges being dropped and a third reduced to a misdemeanor, through a differed disposition. He and his team were approachable, efficient, knowledgeable, and on top of the case all the way through. Even with priors on my record, his efforts allowed for to best possible outcome in the case. Highly recommend.

5 out of 5. I’ve retained Attorney Brunelle in several cases, some still in litigation. I have to say he is proficient with practicing law but also he is a respectful and understanding human being. Roger will fight to obtain the most favorable outcome in your defense which I can guarantee without knowing the specifics of your case. I do not plan to catch cases going forward but if I do I have Roger on speed dial.

Just over a year ago a truck collided with me while riding my bike. I sustained serious injuries requiring two surgeries and ongoing rehabilitation. My Wife was left with how to proceed with hospitals, ambulance services, insurance companies, police communication and the future.
After a number of calls to friends, some attorneys , as to who best to represent us, Lauri Boxer- Macomber name came up. What a stroke of good fortune amidst a great deal of darkness. After that initial visit with her, all aspects of our case were under control. So helpful for my Wife and me. We were truly represented by a professional - the results impressive.
Cannot say enough about what Lauri accomplished for us.

I simply can’t say enough good things about this guy. I put off calling him for the longest time, until a friend of mine, who had worked with his as well, finally gave me the push I needed. He was extremely compassionate and helpful, and made the whole process surprisingly smooth. On the day of the hearing I was fully prepared, all my ducks were in a row and I left with a massive burden lifted from my shoulders. My life is on a completely different course now. My only regret is that I didn’t call him sooner.

Gary was my lawyer when I was applying for my Green Card 26 years ago. With his help, now I am a proud citizen of the United States. He is a very professional lawyer whom I trust, a friend with whom can play game like a high school boy, a thinker with whom I can share my ideas. Very often, Gary makes me feel he is not a lawyer, but somebody next door. Gary is the best.

Seth has been instrumental in structuring my MMMP compliant business. His business knowledge has been invaluable. He is quick to respond to emails and phone calls for any concern I may have. He is diligent in getting to the bottom of matters. At one point I was concerned with the lapsing of a lease that could have zoning implications. He thoroughly researched the topic and consulted with the municipality before getting back to me with a definitive answer. Seth is the embodiment of a ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Seth understands and knows how to navigate Maine's MMMP rules and he has been essential to my business. I wasn't prepared for an OMP inspection but Seth personally reviewed my business and gave me a to-do list. I was able to meet the inspector's expectations and implement procedures that ensure I remain compliant in the future. Seth keeps me updated regarding new and changing rules and regulations. He says “an ounce of prevention saves a pound of trouble", and he's right.
Seth also contributed his skills to an effort to win an arbitration for the ownership of my business. It's a complicated story, but ultimately Seth identified many key points that successfully demonstrated my good-faith efforts and my former business-partner's exploitative actions. I'm currently a 100% owner of my business and Seth played an essential role in achieving that.
I'm fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Seth. I highly recommend Seth as a compliance consultant for anyone working in this industry.

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.
