There was a debt collector who started garnishing my checks for a debt that was over 20 years ago. I consulted with an attorney, William Kopp to see what was my options. I felt like that wasn't right for an over 20 year debt. They were taking over 300 out of each check. The lawyer adv8sed me to do bankruptcy to stop the garnishing. I was scared because I have never filed bankruptcy and heard a lot of negative things about it. Long story short I followed the Lawyer's advice and hired him. It went by quick, I won my case and now I am back on recovery to rebuild my credit from scratch. William Kop's team was great and I will recommend them over and over again. Thanks William Kopp you are the man.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service I received from Tucker Disability Law. After facing multiple rejections from the VA and two other law firms, I felt hopeless and discouraged. After my first consultation with Tucker Disability Law, John contacted me, and I felt renewed hope. Their team is not only knowledgeable and experienced in handling VA disability cases, but they also genuinely care about my situation. They took the time to listen to my story, understand my challenges, and outline a clear plan for my appeal. The commitment and dedication they demonstrated throughout the process were remarkable. They kept me informed every step of the way, answered all my questions, and provided the support I needed during a stressful time. Thanks to their expertise and persistence, I secured a 100% disability rating—a result I had almost given up on. I highly recommend Tucker Disability Law to anyone seeking assistance with VA disability claims. They truly go above and beyond for their clients, and I am immensely grateful for their help. Thank you, John, Emma, and the entire Tucker Law Team! Luiz

I have been very happy with Attorney Tucker and his team. I was referred to him by a relative of mine who works with him professionally, and told me that he is extremely knowledgeable, and that he is highly principled. She said that she goes to him when she has questions suitable to his legal specialty. Legal matters are intimidating and they take a VERY long time, and the Tucker team has supported and guided me throughout this challenging process. Attorney Tucker assigned a paralegal, Tyler, to my case. Tyler has been extremely kind, helpful, responsive, and thorough. He has the perfect calm and respectful demeanor. Of note, using a paralegal also helps keep costs down. Of course, any legal services will be expensive. There was also an option to pay on contingency of winning the case, which is helpful for those who cannot afford to pay for services. Either way, I am confident that the services and peace of mind are well worth it in the long run. I am glad to now have this relationship with Attorney Tucker and his team for my ongoing and future needs. Consider this a five star review!

We recently moved to St. Pete and were in need of a good, professional and inclusive attorney to completely rewrite all of our legal documents. Kira Doyle and her great staff were all and more than we had hoped. The documents were thorough and covered all the mandates for the State of Florida. They were completely welcoming to my wife and me. Kira Doyle and her staff treated us "just like every other couple," respectfully and graciously. As we come from a different state where this is NOT often the case, this environment was a relief. Additionally, the documents and the process by which they are written, approved and finalized was professional and efficient. Kira and her staff were easily available to answer our questions and sent updates and their own questions frequently. This attorney and this office staff earned 5+stars in our book! We will return to them for any additional legal needs we may encounter in the future. We already have the free three-year review of the documents in hand. The office is beautiful and the formality of finalizing our final documents almost a ceremony . They made us feel important. We are very happy with the final documents, the way in which they and we were handled and the parting gift was PERFECT!

Very, Very, Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value My husband and I have experienced the sad reality of loved ones passing away. We knew we did not want to leave our loved ones stressed and wondering what to do when we're at the end of life and they may be grieving. Kira Doyle and her team absolutely guided us every step of the way without any snag. We were so relieved as well to learn so much on how to protect ourselves so that when we pass away, our family is not caught up in a lot of probate, legal, arguments, and tax matters. We're so impressed by the top-notch expertise! Value value value. The whole experience was very caring, careful, and concierge, and we were completely comfortable with the process.

I'm business broker. Had to find closing attorney to close on business my client was purchasing for his immigration visa L1. Many attorneys didn't want to deal with our difficult transaction. I initially dealt with Atty. Robert Hitchens. He was very accommodating and so helpful in keeping our deal together. When the buyer preferred to add more documents to the deal, they had no problem to prepare them at the same day. We corresponded with Paula there, and she was wonderful too. She answered emails quickly and was very professional and efficient. Closed on the day I asked for. Prices are reasonable. Overall, it was a pleasant experience!

I contacted Mr. Coburn for some simple legal advise regarding real estate. I had at least 3 issues where I may need to hire an attorney. He took the time to listen to all my concerns and explained what he could help me with and what he couldn't help me with. He gave me some great advise, and was extremely patient, courteous, kind, honest and a great help to me. He let me know, I don't need to hire him just yet, but advised me on if a certain something didn't happen in a timely manner, that I could hire him with an easy open and shut case - pretty much based on what the law and statute requires. He took his time with me. Did not rush me at all - and I had a lot of questions! He was great! and I assure you, if my situation doesn't pan out like it should and I need to hire an attorney, I will be calling him immediately. I loved his honesty and him being real with me. Some lawyers just want your money and would gladly take you for a ride just to get it. He clearly let me know, what was worth chasing after with a lawsuit and what wasn't. I really appreciate his time and the knowledge he shared with me. I will hire him if needed, and I highly recommend to anyone who needs an attorney with his expertise to hire him. Thanks for your help Guy!! Sincerely!!

My daughter lost her life due to a medical disaster. We wanted to make sure this did not happen to other families and that this institution had to change. I asked Mrs Vesley if she was tough enough to stand up to this organization and she indicated she had no problem standing her ground. They stood their ground, brought to bear her firm's expertise and achieved a very positive outcome. We were kept informed at every juncture and all options discussed with us before moving forward. I can not begin to express how thankful we were to have her working on our side in this case. It is very unlikely this this institution will make this same mistake again and another family will have to suffer as we did. Mrs Vesely has our unconditional highest recommendation.

We hired Bill after interviewing 4 attorneys in town. We found Bill to be the most competent, compassionate, understanding and efficient. In addition to being an excellent estate counsel, he's also an excellent accountant and this combination is crucial for proper estate counsel. He's very accessible, anticipates issues before they arise. It was a complicated estate which he guided us through with ease. We were so pleased with his services that we hired him for our own estate preparation. Bill also employs a staff that match his high standards. Both his assistants and paralegals were excellent and very personable. I'd hire him again (and again) without hesitation. Thanks Bill !

My siblings, myself and - above all, my mom - are very fortunate to have found Bill McQueen. Though attorneys are, in my mind, one of those professionals one wants direct word-of-mouth referral to, Bill was referred to me through quite a circuitous route; and I could not have been sent to anyone better. My family needed to re-do virtually all of my mother's legal documents, do substantial work on her finances, and apply for VA A&A, as my mother's health declined, and we had to move her into assisted living. Not only did Bill do an absolutely amazing job with all of this with incredible expertise and efficiency, he also was extremely responsive at every (and I mean EVERY) turn. Not a question, need, suddenly-pressing deadline, or otherwise came up that Bill did not jump on it - and with remarkable thoroughness. Bill has known what to do, how to do it, and where nuances have been necessary in each and every step of this 18-month journey. I feel so much more comfortable with my mother's legal documents and legal work overall, and - beyond that - following all the time and effort Bill and I put into applying for VA A&A for my mom, the benefits were awarded - saving my family more than $12,000 a year in paying for my mom's care. Finally - When one is the midst of doing all he can to help an aging parent in failing health, compassion and concern certainly help. And Bill certainly has quite a bit of both. His approach, demeanor and personality overall have been a help in and of themselves. I would recommend Bill to anyone who needs a lawyer - whether a specialist in elder law or otherwise - and already have. Thank you so very much, Bill - for what you have done as an attorney AND who you are as a human being.

I recently retained attorney Joe Davis in a real estate matter. I had entered into a contract for deed agreement with an individual who later sold the property out from under me to a group of investors and told me I had 24 hours to leave the property and filed an unlawful detainer case against me . I did not have the funds to retain an attorney and had looked into some pro bono situations so I represented myself and basically stated that I'm not going to leave the property until the judge tells me to. I filed the necessary papers within the necessary time limits and had even filed a motion to dismiss to no avail. I was basically being railroaded. It turned out to be a David versus Goliath situation and at the last minute I retained Joe Davis at a very reasonable rate. Joe literally came to my rescue and went above and beyond the Call of Duty including literally driving across town in the late evening to my home to pick up some paperwork needed for the case. I need to buy some time to leave the property. Joe saved me and my tenants from being kicked to the streets and negotiated an exit strategy that was beneficial to all parties involved. I now plan on using Joe's service's in forming a corporation, some copyright issues, trademark issues and any real estate issues that should arise in the future. When I texted him at first to explain my situation I said I'm basically throwing a Hail Mary; I am putting it in God's hands and pretty much need a miracle. God sent me Joe.

He impressed me so much that I call him to weigh in on any legal concerns of importance. His advice in all matters has been invaluable. There has been more than one occasion that just calling him for advice about a matter that another law firm was handling for us has led to either great cost savings or a more timely conclusion. Throughout my experience with him, I've always felt he is firmly grounded with an appreciation for what is best for my company. He is able to clearly explain my options at each decision point making it clear what the benefits and risks are. He is an excellent health care attorney, but his intelligence, communication skills, and integrity make him valuable in most legal matters.

Mr. Cervellera recently assisted me with my real estate business - making sure I had all my ducks in a row with the creation of my LLC and fictitious name. He also advised me on how I should properly use both on contracts, the internet, etc. to keep me out of legal hot water. He was thorough and yet made things easy to understand. I will definitely use him in the future for my corporate law needs.

I hired Gregory to reopen a 16 year old probate case, as an error needed to be corrected through the court and the attorney who originally handled the probate is deceased. I was under an extremely tight deadline and was very stressed about the situation. Gregory quickly met with me, calmed me down, and assured me he could have the error resolved by month end. He handled my case professionally and expertly, and it was completed earlier than expected. I will definitely hire Gregory again if the need arises and recommend him to others.

I hired Carol Anne Johnson to take care of a pressing legal matter that had gone unresolved for far to long. My experience with Attorney Johnson was nothing short of EXCELLENT. Within 6 weeks of the time I hired Attorney Johnson, she managed to get all necessary documents tracked down and filed withe the court, with a hearing set soon after. The experience was painless...And, to her credit I came out with the result I was hoping for. Ms. Johnson is a thorough attorney that gets the job done in a no-nonsense brilliant fashion!

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
