He is very very stern. Out of 10 attempts on trying to look for an attorney in a very short time . Mr Hightower called me and he spoke hard but if he didn’t care to even hear about my case he would have never called me back . Most attorneys you have to talk to their assistant first , Mr Hightower called me and told me he could take my case . Some may not leave a good review and that’s ok . We just have to know he human just like we are .

What a wonderful staff and law firm. Mr. Kraft and Lori are professional and kind people. Mr. Kraft sat down with us and listened to everything we had to say, and provided excellent feedback and help with our situation. Lori was extremely diligent and friendly and kept us updated in every way, to include calling us directly when the office email server had temporarily gone down. We highly recommend the Kraft Law firm, and hope your experience is as pleasant as ours was.

Great customer service. I was very skeptical at first, because it was our first time having to find a lawyer but once we talked face-to-face and the phone calls and emails I felt we made the right choice. Very blessed to have them fight my battles for me and it was worth it all at the end. Thank you so much Beth Hightower and her team.

I received bare minimum from Luke and his paralegal. Luke withdrew from my case 3 weeks before my jury trial. Because " I made a situation that he no longer wanted to represent me" which really was because he didn't like me telling him that he wasn't representing me the way he could and should have. I signed important documents that were under my name but with someone else's charges and information. And I had to be the one that went out of my way to figure that part out. And again at the end sent me paperwork with someone elses name on it to sign with the excuse of it was a "typo" No actually what it is just happened to be carelessness on their part. I sent email after email asking if it was possible to negotiate an offer for me one way or another and at first yes I did say I wasn't going to take a plea because I wasnt guilty and I had enough proof to prove that. So instead of sitting me down and breaking down the ins and outs of case and what we could, couldn't ,should,and shouldnt do it was left at that. No more information about anything. And if I did receive any kind of response it was bare minimum at the most. Luke threatened to withdraw and refund my money more than once during the time he was representing me basically "if I didn't like the way he was doing things that I could go else where" when things get hard and he's supposed to do his job and actually fight for the people he's representing them he either bails on them or pushes them towards a decision thats not the best outcome they would have gotten else where. I should have saved myself 1000s of dollars and a whole lot of headache and stress and tried to represent myself or go with a public defender.

While this attorney may be adequate for straightforward and uncomplicated cases, which could be managed independently (as a Pro Se and for free), his effectiveness notably declined as my case got more complex and challenging. For cases requiring negotiation and detailed attention, seeking alternative representation is advisable.
Mr. Grandjean's performance falls short when the case involves any difficulties or ongoing issues. Additionally, he will become rude, defensive and dismissive if you question what is going on or simply his tactics, he then seemed to hold a grudge and stopped fighting all together, not that he “fought” at all to begin with. His connections within the local legal community also raise concerns about impartiality and commitment. In any hearing we had, he pussed down to any attorney or judge. When thinking of an attorney, you generally want someone who doesn’t care about those things and will fight for you since that is what you are paying them to do. Mr. Grandjean seemed to not feel that way in our communications. Rather my communication and his hissy fit.
Furthermore, the support staff, specifically the paralegal and receptionist, had no idea that I was a client or what my case entailed, this was over 3 months after I had paid my retainer in full and there had been no action in my case. He had 2 different assistants that seemed to know a little bit of what was going on but it seems that they couldn’t stand him either and left. I have stuck around for over 3 years now and there has still been very little action in my case and any time I called in the last year (2024) they still had no idea as to who I was or what was going on.
For a more dedicated and responsive attorney, I recommend considering someone like Cheryl Saavedra, who demonstrates a strong commitment to client advocacy and effective representation. This man failed and disrespected me and my son and I am writing this so it won’t happen to you too. Mr. Grandjean, if you would like to comment a snarky and demeaning response, go ahead and make my day.

I strongly suggest you refuse to use Jeff Grandjean as your GAL. His is extremely bias.
Jeff said there was no evidence, no witnesses to the abuse. He was given a lot of evidence and a list of witnesses over a year ago. I’m a witness. He never even tried to contact me or anyone else on the list.
Everything in his report was in favor of the husband/father. It was almost like the abuser wrote the report himself.
Now, Jeff will say he doesn’t know me, like he does with everyone who writes a bad review about him, but I introduced myself to him in the courtroom. I told him I was the witness he said didn’t exist. Then he practically ran out of the courthouse.
I think he’s an incompetent coward.

This law firm is very disorganized. Additionally, Gabriella Miller was extremely rude and disrespectful. I would not retain this law firm or her at all.

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.
