Working with Eden Rose Brown and her talented staff has impressed us for years. We became official clients in the past couple years. Leading up to this time though, we gleaned information from this firm to prepare ourselves to develop our comprehensive Estate Plan/Living Trust. They have several workshops each year to assist current and potential clients to better understand the process, benefits, and resources needed to complete a plan. We can't say enough about the always friendly staff, and quick response times to our requests. Truly a special firm with genuinely courteous and well informed staff. So happy to have built this relationship with them. Highly recommend to all families that are needing guidance on their legacy planning.

My wife and I recently met with Stephen Montgomery to discuss estate planning. He was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. While we ended up going in a different direction in terms of our estate planning we would recommend Mr, Montgomery to others. He was more than fair with us, he is active in the community and is compassionate. Please consider using his services.

Mr Cook was able to assist me legally with a situation where I was more or less, backed up against a wall, and thankfully resolved in a matter of days. It's nice to have immediate responses and that's exactly what I received. He was professional, straight forward and able to explain things to me in a way I understood. Very polite too! Definitely one to keep in the contacts list in case I need legal representation in the future.

I can't say enough about Grant Cook, representing me in two different cases. In two separate courts. One case against a landlord. The other a family court matter. I found him to be thorough and an excellent communicator. Kept me in the loop with information as he received it. He spoke in a way that gave me a clearer understanding of the laws as they pertained to my cases. I know it can be frustrating for some who hire other representation and feel out of the loop or spoken down to. Not so with Grant. He does an excellent job of focusing on what is most important in a case and kept me at ease. I was very pleased with the outcomes of my cases. Very sharp, trustworthy, and caring. I can't imagine being represented by anyone else.

We have five grown children, and are in our mid-sixties. We were procrastinating about putting our affairs in order. We went to Collier Law for a consultation to see what direction to take for the future of our children. We met with Jeffrey and were very impressed with him. He explained everything to us, and all options in a manner that we could understand. He was very professional and thorough. My husband and I highly recommend Jeffrey and the staff at Collier Law.

If you are looking to hire a responsive, professional attorney to complete work for you, do not hire this person. Every single step takes weeks. The office is unresponsive and you can’t even speak directly to Mr Evans. You will be ignored for weeks, and then given excuses when they finally communicate with you about your case. There are better options in the area.

One of the two best intellectual property attorneys I've been associated with in my 50 years of business experience. Michelle pleaded our case concerning a trademark that was deemed by the trademark officer to be too similar in definition as to be an infringement. She convinced the reviewing officer that we would not be infringing and consequently we received our registered mark for the product. In another instance she negotiated a co-existance agreement that could have cost us the trademark of our flagship product and, even convinced the other party to pay most of our legal expense.

So far our experience with Mr Shepard has been top notch, very knowledgeable, moral and ethical and seems to really care about people and understands that the real world and real experiences affect situations and its not always black and white. Well rounded and well versed in all the new laws, represented us in one hearing so far, and he immediately went to bat for us, and made us feel secure in his representation. His fees and billing are more than fair and he was more than willing and positive about making the other party accountable. Recommend him highly and will be using him in the future for real estate matters

Matt Shepard is a brilliant attorney and one of the most experienced and knowledgeable attorneys in the State of Oregon when it comes to landlord/tenant law. I was thoroughly impressed with the way he handled my case from the start to its conclusion, where we handedly prevailed. Mr. Shepard has a firm grasp on complex litigation and has argued cases all the way to the Supreme Court. Having an attorney with Trial experience is invaluable and helps ensure a favorable outcome. If your rights are being violated, if you have an abusive landlord violating your privacy, damaging your property or stealing money from you, then call Mr. Shepard.

Cannot express in words how great this firm is! Every single person i met and spoke with was kind, competent, and sincere. I had a scary charge on my hands, but with their reputation and expertise, we landed the very best possible outcome. Better the best actually...The firm worked as a team and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone with any type of legal trouble. The treat you with respect and like a person. They also allowed me time to get finances gathered in a considerate amount of time. My attorney literally said " I'm so focused on my clients and helping them, that sometimes the payments slip my mind." With that said, a good firm needs to get paid and they were well worth every single penny. It was a blessing to work with Jason and Joey. Outstanding guys that communicated very well; never left me out of the loop and answered all questions I had. I would give 100 stars for this firm. Just hire them. At least give them a call, you will never regret it. Thanks guys!!!

This guy had no idea what he was doing when he filed my case, he missed several federal laws that left me with over$15000 in debt that he assured me would be discharged in the chapter 7. He sure collected his fees though, even though he only got about $4000 discharged for me. Then he wouldn't help me refile or file an appeal with the bankruptcy court without, yup you guessed it, me giving him more money! I wish I could do my job completely wrong and incompetently and still get paid! If you're looking for a knowledgeable, communicative, responsible lawyer - keep looking.

Completely ineffective, not responsive, allowed situation to escalate and get out of hand when a simple answer in the beginning of the process would have negated escalation, saving time and money. Stated things that were not true or not implemented and not followed through on. Misrepresented the truth and was wrong on several accounts but don’t bother to argue with him or contradict him as you are never right even in the presence of evidence. He pretends to have that authority to make you do things or impose rules not based in law or even practicality. You will notice that all the positive reviews are from men as this “Good Ole Boy” with an office strewn with Guns and Ammo magazine is not about equity but from the approach that the father in any given situation is the one in the right. A huge waste of time and money and not about equity or situation resolution.

Take notice of how he responded to clients on this site who disagreed with him or wrote a negative review. This is indicative of my experience. He started out as if he knows a lot, but ends up in a pile of fees with no results and defensiveness. To be specific: 1) Did not respond in a timely manner to questions or sometimes not at all. 2) Submitted a hand-written draft of an official court document with lined out words and margin notes. I specifically stated that I wanted to discuss this document and the numbers before submission. 3) Scheduled and rescheduled hearings without consulting me to as to my availability or to even inform me that it had taken place. 4) Did not provide copies of court documents filed, correspondence to/from opposing counsel, nor copies of any discovery items supplied by the petitioner. 5) Failed to inform me of progress in the case, his strategy, what to expect in the process or any options I had ​available. 6) Sent an email requesting documents that I had sent a month earlier and billed me for it again. 7) Incompetently suggested we cancel a hearing and offer $1000/mo. in spousal support for life. He did ​not offer any alternatives or demonstrate a willingness to fight for me since my spouse had a professional degree and professional license ​with the ability to earn a living equal to mine. My new attorney negotiated a set, non-modifiable amount of spousal support which turned out to less than what Mr. Van Ness recommended I should pay in one year alone! 8) Exorbitant fee. No one expects an attorney to be inexpensive or to get 100% of a desired outcome. However, I do expect the attorney to at least pretend to be on my side and work for my benefit. This attorney did not. 9) He was fired over four months ago and continues to add fees for services. He filed a "Notice of Lien" on my property two weeks after I fired him. Everything Mr. Van Ness was not, my new attorney was. She was professional, courteous, explained everything, informed me every week, sent copies of emails, letters, discovery and ​well versed in family law. Don't waste your time or your money on Mr. Van Ness for family law issues. Find someone who specializes in the field with 100% of their representation in family law.

My experience with Mr. Van Ness is painful. He was happy to charge me a lot of money, but for wasted and undesired work. He was recommended and when we met seemed to be nice at first, but over time he just did not seem to be the brightest bulb and if for whatever reason he gets butthurt he lashes out - not very professional or conducive to helping resolve legal matters, especially in a high conflict situation. I definitely do not recommend.

Called prior to my appointment about emailing him info before our phone appointment, and the receptionist stated my appointment was at 11 am. Wrong! Not a good way to treat a potential client. Given the quality of the receptionist if you DO make an appointment, repeat it back to their receptionist several times so you know you are on the same page.

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.
