We hired DeAnne to go over a Family Trust that was set
up by another attorney and she updated and explained
things to us that we were not ever made aware of. Did a
excellent job and easy to work with.
We also consulted her with our Real Estate transactions (2)
and she is up to date and right there with important facts,
saved us time and money. Would use her again in a heart beat !

I had a difficult couple cases and Paul has never let me down. He stepped into a case recently that was a nightmare and he made the other attorney look like such an amateur. He’s ability to pull out the information and get the facts stated will never disappoint. I have used Paul since 2020 on two cases. I will always value him and you will too. This last case we had a few witnesses and people in the courtroom and everyone raves about his amazing abilities. His summations are heads above the other side. You want the best? This is your attorney.

Paul has a work ethic that reminds you of when a work ethic defines the man. He is honest, straight to your face whatever you ask him, he returns phone calls, follows up with your case and most importantly asks how your family is doing.

Fred has been meeting with us and guiding us through the trecherous waters of opening a new business, multiple LLCs, constructing strategic employment contracts and navigating us through other employment contract offers for about 3 years now. He is cynical, hyper vigilante and absolutely THE BEST person to have in your legal corner. He offers very objective advice, erring on the conservative/safe side of things but also cheers us on when we take risks while helping us do so only after knowing all variables and facts in play. He is also extremely responsive, offering contract advice promptly and has been avle to meet with us same day on several occasions. I truly believe Fred has our best interests at heart and I'm grateful he is on our side.

This is the worst, most unreliable, impossible to reach lawyer. He’s in charge of my dads estate & I’ve been trying to reach him for two months without any progress. I’m in a domestic violent relationship, which I’ve communicated to him & in the time it’s taken to try to reach him, things have gotten so much worst. My ex-partner mishandled all the resources I contributed to our shared living space leaving me completely broke currently & now I am trapped in this home with no money to escape, mentally broken down & hardly capable of working, & my only hope for getting out of this situation is checking into a women’s shelter or Douglas releasing my share of my inheritance so that I can afford a different living arrangement.
I believe this lawyer to be complicit in the abuse I’m experiencing & I know my dad wouldn’t want a man like this who’s doing nothing in his power to help his daughter… to profit from managing his estate.

David Clark was recommended to me after I had been through three attorneys, all of whom took my money and then did nothing to get the matter resolved. Mine is a complicated divorce involving legal abuse, financial abuse, emotional abuse, coercion and control, and domestic violence.
Mr. Clark was the first of my attorneys to treat the abuse aspect of the case as if it mattered, and also the first to follow through on promises he made. He has been diligent in pursuing several avenues to get me a fair financial resolution, and to demand that my husband account for the abuse he perpetrated on my body and my spirit. Mr. Clark takes my concerns to heart, he takes all aspects of my case seriously, and he is an effective and creative litigator. My case has been in trial for four days, and I have witnessed Mr. Clark navigate complicated financial matters, guide me with grace through a very difficult testimony, and deftly expose liars on the stand like a Musketeer wielding a sword.
I recommend Mr. Clark to anyone looking for an attorney who, rather than just putting his clients through a “divorce mill” (all signatures and deadlines and forms), will listen to their concerns, explain his methods, and do his very best to meet their individual needs.

I was referred to Mr. Josh Devine of Smalley, Wiseman & Schweitzer, LLP by a close friend for needed consultation regarding my fiduciary responsibilities as co-trustee of a contested estate. I found him to be compassionate and helpful, providing sound and reasoned counsel, forthright written correspondence, and strong, persistent advocacy in negotiating with the Trust attorney. I definitely would not hesitate to retain his legal services in the future should the need arise or refer him to others for legal assistance.

I have spoken to PI's before. This is the first unprofessional one though.
This guy can't take a hint. Stop calling dude. Call my attorney. You do not get to call me 7 times in a row and lock up my phone line. It appears he doesn't understand that word "NO."
Here's the deal dude. If you have questions about me or for me, you can submit them in writing. If you have questions about other people I might know, submit them in writing. I need something to use as a fire starter.

Sean answered my calls or called me back right away. I had a Spousal support case where my ex-husband was receiving support while living with his girlfriend before the divorce was final. I found Sean by searching for P I 'so in the area where he lived. I live a long distance away. Sean not only investigated my case, his report convinced the judge to terminate the support order, but also he was very encouraging to me when we talked. He was my cheerleader. I needed that.
I had had 2 different attorneys, neither of whom were encouraging at all. They did produce some useful documents and guidance through the court system for a total of $7000. After letting the 2nd one go, I had the bright idea to hire a private investigator and Sean was great. He helped me through my pro-per trial. I highly recommend him when you need someone with experience.

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.
