Ken Siemens and all the employees of MTSE were extremely kind, compassionate, and professional for my personal injury case. They were not only concerned with my case but also were helpful when dealing with other aspects of my husband’s injuries. Anytime I had a question or concern, I received prompt, thoughtful and sensible advice. Their actions demonstrated the care and concern they had for what was best for my family. I have all the confidence that Ken and MTSE has the experience, prudence, and wisdom to handle cases like mine.

Be prepared for Craig to make up information on behalf of his clients. He will also feed them bad advice as long as he feels it will negatively impact the other party. All he is really doing, is hurting his client and the other parties involved. He is arrogant just like the clients he chooses to represent. Do yourself a favor and choose someone else so you get the help you need and not an egotistical a $ $ hat.

She's a friendly down to earth person. I met with her in regards to an eviction but it wasn't your typical landlord tenant eviction. I hired the same day I met with her. She was understanding & sounded like she was on top of things. Then a situation came about in regards to the eviction causing it to not be just a simple eviction process. I emailed her & then spoke with her on the phone the same day i hired her letting her know of a letter I had received in the mail. She said she needed a little more time then 30 seconds to process everything, which is understandable & she said she would get ahold of me. Days went by & I had emailed her & tried to call her & heard nothing back from her. This went on for a couple weeks at least. I totally get that I wasn't her only client & her time wasn't devoted to only me & that she was probably busy. It just would have been nice if she would have at least emailed me back to let me know she was going to need more time or let me know something instead of leaving me hanging. I finally decided to just ask for my money back. She then emailed letting me know she could mail me a check or i could pick it up! Kinda irritating that she could email for that but not respond with anything to my emails or phone calls. I was really looking forward to her representing me in the beginning because I loved her attitude, ways of thinking & I just felt comfortable with her. She did give me all of my money back without a problem!

The first time we called she answered the phone with a bad attitude. We hired Diane and asked her to wait on setting court date and sending evictions and she sent them out anyways. We wanted to wait for the abandonment paperwork to work and she did not respect that at all. We talked to her a total of 16 minutes and she charged us $500. Claimed we would get a full refund if we didn’t need her and then she went and made her self needed by doing whatever she wanted anyways and then went back on her word. She is the worst attorney I have ever heard from and I would NOT recommend going through her firm! Even other lawyers called her highly unprofessional because when she was called out she sent very rude emails out to them as well! Seriously don’t waste your time!

A few years ago, a much younger man attempted to romance-scam my 85-year-old mother and attempted to obtain a POA over her assets. Diane's advice was invaluable and prevented much greater disaster from occurring. She walked me through all the difficult steps to obtain guardianship and stood beside me in those tense moments before the judge. I owe her a very great debt.

So discussed and disappointed with your ruling yesterday where you let a horrid man, who shows no remorse for killing a child, off with just a fine. You were openly rude to the child’s family as if they deserved to be rear ended and have their child taken from them. St. Joseph does NOT need judges like you and we Will remember this at voting time and will do all we can to campaign against you.

Mr. Davison has represented us in numerous areas including but not limited to Mergers and Acquisitions, Construction Disputes, Contract Documents and Succession Planning. He has always been very knowlegable of the law and has offered sound legal advise.

Mr. Davison is extremely knowledgeable on a broad set of issues. More importantly, when touching on a subject that has not been completely mastered he knows where to go to get or bring the necessary knowledge on board. He anticipates possible sources of surprises well but handles the inevitable ones that arise calmly and professionally. No one will outwork Jeff in preparation or research. I have enjoyed Jeff’s expertise/guidance on a number of land development and construction contract related issues over the past 10+ years.

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.
