My attorney is very unprofessional. He doesn't return emails or phone calls. I've been in limbo almost 2 years now. Very dissatisfied. If I ever needed a firm again, I definitely will shop around more. This whole ordeal has been trying

I called the Asheville branch to ask about a free consult because I live outside of NC, but my recently deceased sister lived in NC.
Bonnie answered my call and I'm so sorry she did. I hung up feeling frustrated and disrespected. She was rude and not very helpful at all. Her attitude was quite condescending and very unprofessional. She should be able to ask strategic questions to gain an understanding of my needs, but instead she was curt, snooty and too busy trying to get me off the phone to be able to understand WHY I was calling. It was like pulling teeth, and I was getting no where with her, so I simply asked her name, thanked her, and hung up. She rattled off some title after her name, but at this point I had tuned her out, because it didn't matter who she was. I would NEVER do business with them and WOULD NOT recommend them to anyone. I was able to find another attorney in NC, Kirschbaum, Nanney, Keenan & Griffin and they were awesome! They were kind, friendly and most of all professional. They asked the right questions to make sure they were the right 'type' of attorney I needed. They were truly the professionals I needed to talk to. I simply wanted to share MY experience with this practice and the end result.

When planning your estate, it can be stressful. When working with Strauss Attorney PLLC, there was absolutely no stress at all. The interaction with the firm was pleasant and easy to work with. Christie kept in constant contact with me and made sure I was aware of my appointments and what was needed. Jennifer and Kat were an absolute joy to work with. Both are knowledgeable and were very patient with all of my questions. They have extraordinary customer service. I plan to use this firm for all of my legal needs.

I had a closing where I sold a house and property where the buyer's agent wanted to use Midtown Law in Raleigh. I had no issues and in the interest of getting the deal done agreed. There were really no issues at closing other than receiving the funds just before close of business in a Friday but oh well. The problem arose when I received the property tax bill for that parcel 5 months after the closing date. I checked my closing documents and verified the funds were in fact withheld from my disbursement so I contacted the tax office. The tax office informed me to contact the closing attorney which was Midtown Law. I placed a call and was instructed there was NO WAY TO CONTACT the person I needed to see except email. I asked several times to speak with an officer of the corporation, the attorney that did the closing or anyone who could help me with no help from the attendant. I got the email and then promptly sent the property address as well as described the problem at hand and asked the person to call me to advise how to clear this up? I received an email telling me it was the new owners responsibility to pay the taxes and pretty much they were out of the loop. It seems they didn't care to help resolve the situation. I don't know how the new owners would even know they owe the taxes or the amount they owe? Midtown Law provided no way to contact the present owners even though they had to have that information in order to complete the closing. I guess it falls on me to do the job I paid them to do in the first place. I would not recommend this law firm . I guess if everything turns out right you'll have no problem but if you ever need to contact them to resolve an issue good luck. I'd be embarrassed if I were an associate.

I am a real estate agent and I worked with them to represent a buyer for purchasing a home. I was in the closing meeting for the home and Brad took ample time (2 hours +) to go over all the closing documents and answer all the questions that the buyer had. The explanation was very thorough and the buyer was very satisfied with the closing experience. Would highly recommend GEG to anyone looking for a closing attorney for their home purchase!

Brad has been my lawyer for the past 6 years now! Every case we had together has been dismissed. Daisy and Heidi are his assistants that he normally works with and they are very professional and great at communication. I’ve never had a problem with getting in contact with Brad or him not showing up for me at court. He is very reliable, affordable, and truly does care for his clients! Thank you Brad for always being here for me and making a difference one day at a time for those who really need you in this industry! Definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a lawyer for vehicle tickets, criminal charges, and car accident law suits. Thank you Brad for always being true to who you are! It’s always a pleasure working with you!

I believe Mr. Crawford gave me excellent advice and represented me well to the NCBON. He was always professional and yet personally understanding to the my situation. Although I wouldn’t wish the unfortunate circumstances of needing to hire legal defense for licensure on any nurse, I would still recommend Mr. Crawford’s representation to any nurse in need.

I am very grateful for the help I received from Mr. Crawford. Mr. Crawford’s service exceeded my expectations. Mr. Crawford was always available to help quickly with a high level of professionalism. Mr. Crawford was always available to talk and kept me updated with changes in my case daily. My case turned out better than I could have ever expected thanks to Mr. Crawford’s hard work and determination handling my case. I would highly recommend Mr. Crawford for legal representation needs.

John McKnight was the worst divorce lawyer one could ask for. Completely took advantage of someone in the wrong state of mind. Ripped us off for $7500. John said that we would pay a set fee of 5,000 for separation through divorce if both parties were agreeable. He mentioned 7500 for a retainer in case things became disagreeable. He charged 7500, we met one time, and were agreeable on everything. We went back to him 1 year later for the divorce and he said we did not have any more time left and refused to help. Reporting him to the BBB, for him being a scam artist.
HES A RIP OFF
SCAM ARTIST
If you get divorced, don’t go anywhere near this creep.

Anybody who is facing eviction should in my personal opinion HOPE to be as lucky as we were that their landlord/landlady hires Brian J. Register from this firm.
I would love to congratulate Brian J. Register, Esq in my personal opinion for the incompetent way that he handled his client/my ex landlady's eviction case against our family.
First of all, it would of been prudent to wait until AFTER the month that we had just paid rent was OVER before filing for the eviction. First eviction paperwork was filed on June 30 when we had already paid rent for that month. News flash you can't file an eviction when the tenant has paid rent for that month and the landlady had accepted the rent payment.
Secondly when filing for an eviction, the tenants should be given the proper notice and be told to vacate the correct address. As a lawyer, the notice to vacate being mailed to the correct address on Kinton Drive but the letter stating that the tenant should move out of an address that they've never lived at in other words the existing landlady's address on Old Stage Road than yes that's incompetence. Those are the 2 major times that Brian J. Register, Esq messed up in the eviction cases against us.
We're glad to have this case behind us and never deal with any of the opposing parties ever again.
By the way, if the person reading this is facing eviction, I'd highly suggest reading up on Google for the simple steps that the eviction process SHOULD include. Also look up your rights as a tenant in North Carolina. For example, your landlord/landlady needs to give you 24 hour notice before coming into your home for an inspection etc.
Oh another thing it's illegal for your landlady/landlord to use a drone to picture/video the property that you are renting from your landlord/landlady. You have the 4th amendment right to be secure in your property and papers from illegal seizures that includes from your landlord/landlady.

My unfortunate accident happened on my husband’s bday visit to Vegas 6/23.I had to obtain a lawyer in Las Vegas, I was referred by a local NC lawyer.to VAN LAW FIRM. I was appointed to be on KARIN’S Team. I must say from day 1 Karin has been very helpful, honest and upfront. There were several lawyers that came & went throughout the journey but KARIN has never changed!! I can go on & on about how Kari has been a GREAT representation of the Van Law firm.
KUTOS KARIN!!!! Karin 4 the WIN!!!!

Good luck EVER hearing from James Vann or his assistant Kaitlin. My attorney has reached out to him via phone call, voice mail, email, FedEx, and even dropping into the office and yet we have received nothing but "out of the office" messages in return. We were told he had a completed document just sitting on his desk ready to sign in March and we've yet to receive a copy. It's two days from August. Completely unprofessional. Would not recommend anyone use Vann as your attorney, even if it was offered free!

Heidi Bloom (family law @ Wyrick Robbins) made me reschedule a hearing in Durham Co in late 2018 because she had a previous engagement. But she lied and said it was because all the judges in Durham are 'numbskulls' and wouldn't understand my UCCJEA case. She said we needed to file in Wake County where, I later found out, her husband is a judge! We lost because Heidi left out BOTH court orders that proved our case! It was such a blatant omission, I have to wonder if she did it on purpose. She also never bothered to show up to the hearing I rescheduled to accommodate HER schedule, and sent a junior attorney without obtaining my consent to do so. After she lost my case, she told me she never had the court order in question and tried to extort $700 to "call in some favors" to get it! I showed her proof that she'd had the documents for six months, and she responded that she "couldn't be expected to read everything!". Then she delayed my appeal until the last minute and told me I'd need to pay her $10,500 to proceed to correct HER negligence! My appeal ended up being handled pro bono by DVLeap, an anti domestic violence charity. Sadly, I lost the case there, too, because I couldn't bring up the court order Heidi neglected to include! Heidi is a very dishonest attorney. She has caused my family over four years of torment cleaning up her negligent mess. She also neglected to disclose that she's Facebook friends with BOTH lawyers for the opposing side. Extremely dishonest human. Beware. Check out AVVO for other bad reviews from her past clients. I advise this because I wish I'd known how destructive hiring her would be to my family. By the way, when I brought all of this to the attention of Wyrick Robbins' general counsel, they threatened to sue me! PLEASE AVOID THESE PEOPLE.

But she lied and said it was because all the judges in Durham are 'numbskulls' and wouldn't understand my UCCJEA case. She said we needed to file in Wake County where, I later found out, her husband is a judge! We lost because Heidi left out BOTH court orders that proved our case! It was such a blatant omission, I have to wonder if she did it on purpose. She also never bothered to show up to the hearing I rescheduled to accommodate HER schedule, and sent a junior attorney without obtaining my consent to do so. After she lost my case, she told me she never had the court order in question and tried to extort $700 to "call in some favors" to get it! I showed her proof that she'd had the documents for six months, and she responded that she "couldn't be expected to read everything!". Then she delayed my appeal until the last minute and told me I'd need to pay her $10,500 to proceed to correct HER negligence! My appeal ended up being handled pro bono by DVLeap, an anti domestic violence charity. Sadly, I lost the case there, too, because I couldn't bring up the court order Heidi neglected to include! Heidi is a very dishonest attorney. She has caused my family over four years of torment cleaning up her negligent mess. She also neglected to disclose that she's Facebook friends with BOTH lawyers for the opposing side. Extremely dishonest human. Beware. Check out AVVO for other bad reviews from her past clients. I advise this because I wish I'd known how destructive hiring her would be to my family. By the way, when I brought all of this to the attention of Wyrick Robbins' general counsel, they threatened to sue me! PLEASE AVOID THESE 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:
-
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.
