Craig Hughes wrote my Trust back in 2014. He was very thorough with regards to every detail. Now, this week, in 2023, I just needed to update a couple of things that had changed in my life, and again it was done with thought and precision, in a timely manner.
I didn't need to change anything else, or have a new Trust, because it was so well done the first time. I am super happy with his firm, and recommend his services to others!

The first thing I noticed about Craig Hughes was his passion for estate law. He clearly loves and relishes his role in helping people avoid all of the problems with family and inheritance that can happen when proper planning has not occurred.
Craig was very careful to make sure I understood all of the legal jargon and how it applied to my life now and in the future. He was anxious to make sure that everything was done in my best interest.
I appreciated and felt safe with Mr. Hughes' desire to make sure that the banks we dealt with and the documents he handled for me were meticulously and carefully explained.
I was particularly impressed that Craig demanded integrity and professionalism from not only his staff and himself, but from all of the outside institutions that we worked with.
It was a pleasure to have worked with an attorney that helped me in such an honest and forthright manner, while at the same time making sure I understood everything without a trace of impatience. He truly loves what he does, and loves helping others.

Jason is attentive, responsive, personable and effective. Jason got us the best possible result in a bitter lawsuit against our condo developer.

His counsel was consistently appropriate and his expertise was essential in bringing the litigation to a successful conclusion.

Ive been going through a lot and it’s overwhelming! I hired other lawyers and they did not show compassion, but the minute I met Matthew he showed compassion, professionalism, knowledge, and sincere genuine interest in the outcomes of my reality. When he moved to a different firm I followed because I knew that he had my family’s best interests at heart! Thank you Matthew for all you do! I appreciate you so very much!

I had the pleasure of working with Matthew Bell over the past 18 months, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. From the start, Matthew's kindness, professionalism, and commitment to resolving my legal matters were evident. His focus on finding solutions rather than complicating the court process was a testament to his integrity and dedication.
Matthew's responsiveness and the competence of his Paralegal team, including his wife Diana, were invaluable. Diana’s assistance was not only professional but also incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Together, they navigated my case with the precision and care of true partners and advocates.
Simply put, Matthew and Diana are good people who make a genuine difference in their clients' lives. If you're looking for legal representation marked by high integrity and exceptional competency, I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew Bell and his team. Their dedication and expertise are truly outstanding.

I met with Jason Rogers in the Salt Lake office of Michael Best. I was referred to him by another CPA who also had some complicated legal work that needed to be done. Jason is one of the most kind and competent attorneys I've met. His understanding of the law is phenomenal and he was able to quickly wrap his mind around my unique situation and go about it tactfully. Their fees are very reasonable for the quality work you receive. Highly recommend Jason Rogers and everybody else I've met within Michael Best. Great law firm. Great people. Very competent and also kind.

Unexpectedly served by my son's father, I found myself in uncharted territory. At 3 am, I began searching for legal representation and discovered Josh Lucherini. Although his rates were surprisingly affordable, I was skeptical at first. Nevertheless, Josh demonstrated exceptional skill as an attorney, patiently guiding me through the legal process. His prompt responses to emails and willingness to address my concerns were impressive. We successfully negotiated a stipulation within four months. I appreciate Josh's dedication and expertise, and I won't hesitate to seek his services again or recommend him to others in similar situations.
Thank you!

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.
