Unfortunately we found ourselves in the position of seeking legal guidance, but fortunately we found Padberg Appelbaum Knepper. I can’t even begin to understand the amount of time spent handling my case and all the work done behind the scenes. I’m very aware, however, of how highly motivated Kelly and Matt were since day one to get a positive outcome for my husband and I. Even through all of the road blocks, Kelly and Matt continued pushing for justice. I tend to be the type of person to always question if I’ve made the right decision, but I never once second guessed any decision guided by them. I’m 100% confident we made the right choice going to Padberg Appelbaum Knepper.
We worked closest with the legal nurse consultant, Kelly. It’s undoubtedly evident how passionate and caring she is regarding her clients. I never doubted for a moment that she had my best interest in mind. She consistently validated my concerns and frustrations, as well as patiently addressed all of my questions throughout the process. She is absolutely the best advocate. I cannot thank her and our lawyer, Matt, enough for absolutely everything they did for my husband and I. Our experience with them has been a shining light in a dark situation. If anyone I know, family, friend, or stranger, finds themselves seeking legal guidance, I will not hesitate to recommend Padberg Appelbaum Knepper time and time again.

I can't say enough great things about Schultz & Myers, esp Josh Myers. My Mom & her friend were hit by a tractor trailer causing them to spin out into the median. Josh has been nothing short of amazing for her to deal with, not only professional but warm & friendly. He even went as far as meeting her in her home to make it easier on her. She is extremely happy with him & his firms' services, so therefore I am as well. If you know him personally you know it's not an act. If you're looking for a bulldog attorney, who knows the law & will fight for you & your loved ones, Josh Myers is your guy!!!

I purchased a 2019 Toyota Tacoma that was sold as a Toyota Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. Immediately upon noticing the damage the next day, I began efforts to try and seek a remedy for this situation from the dealership. This included contacting the salesperson, used car sales manager, dealership general manager, dealership corporate customer relations representative, and Toyota corporate customer relations. The dealer claimed that the damage did not exist upon purchase. I had recovered a photo from the original dealer posting which displayed a portion of the damage. Thus, I decided I would seek to take legal action.
I became aware of NJ Smith Law, LLC when discussing this issue with a friend from St. Louis. Noah was recommended to me in high regard. I contacted Noah to discuss my situation and he confirmed that he could handle my case as he holds BAR Certification to practice in Wisconsin. Noah promptly began efforts within days of my completion of our Attorney-Client Engagement Agreement. He was concise with his requests for documentation which made it easy for me to gather the necessary information. He was up-front with me with his findings after the initial review of my documentation. He told me that the purchase agreement was written such that the vehicle was sold “As Is” and therefore it would be extremely difficult to get the dealer to commit to any sort of monetary remedy short of filing a case to prove mis-representation. This was very important to me, as I then understood, that his attempts to seek a remedy would be all that could be done without committing to a costly amount of representation. He was in contact with the dealership within the initial week. He kept me updated throughout the escalation of his interactions with the dealership and explained my options as they progressed. Despite the major lack of professionalism and participation from the dealer, Noah was able to get the dealer to agree to a contribution to the repair costs. Considering he had very little legal leverage, I consider this outcome to be substantial.
For the entirety of my case, Noah maintained a high level of professionalism, answered any and all of my questions, was timely in all correspondences, and did his best to keep my legal costs low despite the lack of dealer participation. In sum, I asked Noah to obtain a monetary reward in an instance where I had no legally binding documentation which required such an outcome and he was able to do so in a matter of months. I further pass on the high regard for NJ Smith Law, LLC to anyone seeking legal representation.

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.
