So, it was probably my fault for hiring a criminal defense lawyer to help me with my child custody case, but I decided to hire him anyway because his wife said that he would take on a custody case that he felt was worth taking, so I hired him. In the beginning, it seemed like I had finally found someone that might actually care instead of just taking more money from me. However, that was not the case. He was very quick to respond to me at first, and even called me 24 hours early for our first consult. After the initial conversation and paying the fee that he quoted me, it was literally crickets. When I did finally hear back from him, he told me that he had written a "demand" letter, but I never saw it and then proceeded to tell me more than once, that he had other clients that paid much more, and I was taking time away from them. I paid him in full what he quoted me, and during the last conversation we had he told me that he would be more than happy to refund me my full amount so I could find a different lawyer that better suits my needs. I sent an official email to him and his entire firm regarding my refund, and I even called the office and spoke with the receptionist trying to get an itemized list, and still nothing. I received my "refund", and it was over $2,100 short. I followed up with a couple more emails and still got nothing. I work very hard for my money, and I don't appreciate being taken advantage of. I am taking necessary steps to have this fixed, but it's not something I should even have to be dealing with. Please do extensive research before you spend your hard-earned money, and don't always go with what Google reviews say because they are not always accurate. Plus, who even knows if those are real clients that are posting these reviews. This post is 100% true and maybe it will help someone else not get taken advantage of in the future.

I was involved in a civil suit and given an unrealistic timeline for response over the holiday. Philip Moore at Pfister Family Law took the case and settled it out of court fighting unreasonable and impossible requests from opposing councel. Within a week the suit was dismissed and I was able to put this behind me. I would strongly recommend a call to Pfister Family Law if you ever need civil litigation support. They have the ability to not only settle but to defend your case in court.

Attorney Fox has been extremely helpful in my first year in business. He has reviewed and helped reconstruct 2 office leases for me. He is also always available and quickly responsive to any questions that may arise in any sense. Makes you feel like your time is valuable and issues are important, not just trying to rush things along and act stuffy like most attorneys. I have recommended him to others, and will continue to.

Money Law and Title have a great team to close on time all the time. The senior Title Officer, Cheryl Stephens, is super nice to return text or phone calls at any hours. Cheryl even went to my clients house to obtain their signature to close the transactions many times.

I had an amazing experience working with the Yates Law Group for my estate planning. I had put this off for far too long. Rinum, Mr. Yates and Crystal's exceptional service made me question why I took so long to complete it. If I ever need the assistance from an attorney for the services they offer, I will definitely reach out to them again.

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.
