Wonderful service! Above and beyond! If you need a good, honest, and compassionate lawyer this is the one. Everything is fair and he does way more in terms of value and services (does not nickel and dime you like other attorneys). Being a single father it's wonderful working with someone who knows the ins and outs of the law and meets with you on a one-on-one basis. You will get first-rate service and he does not pass your case to one of his other workers like other attornies do when they are a huge firm.

Though this is my first (and hopefully last) divorce, Janet was the best choice when it comes to legal counsel. I'll be honest, I called a couple of other attorneys first. One sounded extremely rude and hard pressed for time. They told me how much it would be up front and gave a very grim outlook. The other sounded like they were too busy to take on another case.
Janet welcomed my call and took the time to listen to my concerns. She made me feel extremely comfortable and answered all of my questions.
During the proceedings, she was extremely communicative and kept me posted on any/ all updates.
If I ever get left for my husbands best friend again, I will be sure to call Janet. Amazing Attorney!

Only spoke to Brian once, he said he could provide everything from start to finish. After that, he passed me off to an associate attorney. She made more mistakes than I could keep up with. Finally, she passed me off her paralegal who had to finished all the paperwork! I could never get a call back from Brian or the associate attorney. Everytime I called the office, the receptionist was not very helpful, I was told that Brian was not located in that office and she had no way to transfer a call to him. The only person I could finally talk to was the paralegal. Worse experience ever! I felt like this was not a legit real estate attorney group!

I hired Brian Clark & Associates Attorneys Real Estate Group (ARG) after a CLC referral in October 2023 to represent me at a mediation meeting to attempt to get my earnest money deposit (EMD) returned to me by a sketchy house flipper who misled me during the purchase process. In the initial consultation I was told that this was an easy case and that the fees would be about $3000-$4500 when in the end they spent much more time on this case than they had quoted me for and the bill was closer to $8500. I was initially assigned a young attorney in mid October 2023 but as the mediation date in early November approached she told me that she wouldn’t be able to represent me at the mediation anymore and that one of the partners at the law firm would attend instead. The law firm failed to have my mediation brief and a replacement attorney ready in time for the mediation which forced me to reschedule the mediation session after the mediator contacted me on the weekend before the mediation session letting me know that my attorney failed to give him the mediation brief by the deadline he gave us. After I followed up by email and by phone the weekend before the mediation was supposed to happen they finally assigned a new attorney to my case and he prepared the mediation brief a few days after the mediation was supposed to have occurred. When the mediation finally happened in early December 2023 the attorney failed to properly represent me by going from arguing for the entire EMD to be returned to me to pretty quickly encouraging me to settle for less than half of the EMD. He also called me by the wrong name in front of me when he was presenting to the mediator (he called me Jose instead of my name Jimmy, which honestly felt humiliating and discriminatory coming from the person who was supposed to be keeping my best interest in mind. Ultimately he was a pushover and basically stopped arguing on my behalf, instead buying a few of the counter arguments used against me by the opposing side. That same attorney called me “Jose” again when he wrote up a draft follow-up email to the mediator and claimed it was autocorrect when I questioned him about this and after I had already told him to please stop calling me by the wrong name. I later found out that the young attorney who said she couldn’t represent me anymore had actually stopped working for them even though I was never informed by the law firm about this when she stopped handling my case, and when I showed the legal brief to an attorney friend a few months ago he said he was surprised at the poor quality of legal argumentation on the part of the attorney who wrote it. ARG also tried to bill me for the so-called work that the first attorney did when she failed to meet the mediator’s deadline for the legal briefs. To their credit, ARG removed most of those fees after I disputed those charges. Ultimately, I lost most of my EMD and the little I gained back was pretty much eaten up by ARG’s legal fees. So, if you are looking for legal representation for a real-estate related matter, please look elsewhere because Brian Clark & Associates will waste your time and money.

Brian gave a hard sales pitch to get us to sign him as both an estate attorney and real estate agent. After we signed, my father’s condition worsened and we needed to take out loans to pay for his care. We called Brian to make sure our estate and legal paperwork were in order and he never called us or had another attorney call us. Then, the doctor informed my father was dying and 6 messages and one week later — still no attorney called.
In place, Brian had a real estate broker go to my father’s hospital room to get paperwork signed. The real estate broker fielded all legal questions without supervision and ultimately did all the paperwork wrong.
We fired Brian and hired an estate law firm who immediately contacted my father and had his trust paperwork correctly set up with all correct notaries and witnesses within a week.
After that is done, Brian Clark’s partner finally makes first contact to tell me that I cant fire Brian (even though the legal retainer says i can fire him at any time) because he’s also a real estate broker or assigned one in his office.
He insists Brian will sell the house anyway and refuses to acknowledge he was fired.
Snake oil salesman. Incompetent. Dishonest.

I retained Ryan for a civil dispute. He passed my case onto a novice attorney at his office who was also named Ryan. I ultimately fired them.

I had an initial consultation with Ryan about a construction defect/engineering malpractice case and was impressed with him and his firm. He was very thorough and had even printed out the Contractors State License Board and Board for Professional Engineers complaints (300+ pages) I had filed and had sent him by email prior to our meeting. He clearly presented my options and risks in detail and provided his recommendations. Ryan recommended that I wait 30 days to find out what the state agencies I filed complaints with do before retaining him to start legal action. I was impressed by his desire to work as efficiently as possible for me (and thus minimize costs) and also by his generously spending over an hour with me to discuss options and review my documentation. I will definitely hire him if the state regulatory agencies don't resolve my problems.

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.
