There's simply too many SUPERLATIVES that apply to Jonathan as an attorney and as a human being. Thus, I'll boil it down to this: HE'S THE BEST; HIRE HIM!

My husband and I recently asked Jonathan to revise our trust and other estate planning documents. He proved to be knowledgeable, detail oriented, personable and intellectually curious. We presented him with some unusual issues, but he was able to address each one to our satisfaction. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Mr. Jonathan A. Millet did a will, living will, and power of attorney for me. He was extremely thorough and really cared about what he was doing for me and the outcome of the product. He took the time to explain things that I did not understand, and gave me "tools" in the form of outlines and list to make my part a lot easier and organized. He was friendly, caring and his staff that assisted him had the same aforementioned characteristics. I would recommend his services without hesitation.

There were so many twists and turns in my Living Trust case with the opposing side, I nearly got car sick. But Mr. Pecharich was phenomenal. He kept us on the road, avoided the cliffs and potholes and completed the journey with everyone and everything intact. In the beginning, things looked seriously daunting. And, believe me, when we started there wasn't much more than hope. Mr. Pecharich's negotiating skills, repeated efforts and achievements were carried out with professionalism, knowledge, effectiveness, and success. Crucial also, was his caring. That is one of the things that made a difference in this situation, because his caring was genuine and helped smooth the road time and again. We achieved everything we'd hoped for, and without Mr. Pecharich at the helm, I have serious doubts that could have been accomplished.

She provided me with solid and sound information and helped me get on track with the right solution. Always prompt in returning calls or answering emails.
I am very thankful to her and recommend her highly.

Mr. Witmer went above and beyond in helping my son win his court case. My son and I are grateful to Attorney Whitmer for everything he did for us and always kept in contact with us throughout the legal process. Attorney Whitmer pulled no punches and never promised anything to us except his diligent and earnest work on the case and he is a man of his word. He is honest and trustworthy and should we ever have legal issues in the future, Attorney Whitmer will be our go-to attorney. As a caveat, he would make an excellent judge for this county.
Thank you
Walt and Parker

I hired Henry for my boyfriend's case of false allegations. Henry is an incredible attorney. One that respects and understands the law, understands the systems at play, and did his research on the case. He was a master attorney in the court room and my boyfriend was acquitted. He is honest, conscientious, and took the time to explain what was going on and what was needed. I highly recommned Henry-he is a top notch attorney and person.

No better attorney than Bill Whittington. Handled a delicate land issue for me. I knew we'd won when the opposing party called and begged me to get "Your a------ attorney off my case."

Zero stars would be better. William Oleary What a money, sucking, scumbag. He had me and my wife jump through all these hoops, get all this paperwork, and pay all this money, because of an issue with Yavapai county land development. Less than one month before we’re supposed to go to court with the county, he decides he Doesn’t wanna represent us because he doesn’t have enough time. Took our money, wasted our time, now I have to try to find another attorney to pick up the case involving Yavapai county less than 30 days for court. 🖕🏼 🖕🏼🖕🏼

Rick was my parents’ (my mom and stepdad) lawyer and created their estate plans in the mid90s. They made sure to introduce me to Rick back then, as they planned to have me be one of their trustees when needed. When the time came and each had died, I became very active in settling their estates. Rick and the estate plans he developed, were pivotal in working out their wishes. I know for certain that had their wishes not been written down, it would have been a mess to sort through. I’ll forever be grateful to Rick and his efforts.

Will not respond in a timely manner if at all. Tries to add on time so he gets paid more. Something that should’ve taken a few days has now become months of waiting because of his lack of response. Do not use him unless you want to pay more and wait an eternity.

Believe it or not, I got sued four times and he won all four of them. His knowledge of the law, and court room presence intimidated the opposing lawyers. It seemed even the Judges respect him very much. I sleep better at knowing he is my attorney.

Won the case for me, but only after dragging it out well over a year. He even kept billing me for services rendered AFTER the verdict was announced and the case closed. He took a small $ case and inflated it until the cost were staggering!

I had a difficult and emotional situation and at our initial consultation, she was confident and it seemed like she would be a great advocate for me. After hiring her, she was never available, and her assistant was the only person in communication. This person advised me and when I questioned, shared my concerns, or asked for the attorney I hired, the assistant wouldn't put me through or I wouldn't get responses from my attorney, and she was condescending. The attorney was never available until just before a court hearing and she was always dismissive of my concerns. She acquiesced to the other side repeatedly, and I would leave feeling confused and further hurt by the situation. At the end, she sent me an exorbitant bill for minimal work done that was shocking. Her results were not only the opposite of what I expected but also terribly disheartening and not fair in my situation.

Ms Harris is the worst lawyer you can hire. Once she is hired, she will dodge your calls and have you work solely with Pam, her abusive paralegal that only cares about her dogs. Lynn Harris is fantastic at making false promises and manipulating you to hire her. She will tell you that she will fight like a bulldog for you in court and do the exact opposite. She definitely knows how to throw a show to make you feel like she has your back, unfortunately, it’s only a show to get your money. She told me she’d fight for me. Instead, she collaborated with the opposing council against me, and later dropped me as a client! By the end of my dealings with Mrs. Harris, she did nothing she said she would do in regards to my case; besides BILL ME! ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!

I contacted this lawyer regarding a social security disability claim. He cancelled our appointment less than one hour before the appointment for “a family emergency”. He told me to drop by and meet his assistant who would be handling the case. I assumed he meant next time I was in town. He called back one hour later and left a message wanting to know why I didn’t keep my appointment. I called back the next day to apologize to his assistant, assuming I misunderstood. She was unavailable so I left a message. I called back the next day, and was again told she was unavailable, so I left another message. I called back a third time, and after being on hold over five minutes was told she couldn’t be located. At this point I left the message for her to please send me the paperwork to sign in order to get things working. Two days later, I received correspondence from him. Instead of a contract to sign, I received a cancellation letter for failure to keep scheduled appointment (which he cancelled) and failure to return phone calls. I don’t know how good he is as a lawyer, I never got that far.

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.
