We needed to come on here an share our experience with the Karen best . We were told by other parties an her that she was being hired by my son's trust that he has to help get restoration of rights back to him. She came in person only one time to meet an do a small interview with my son. She spoke greatly to him on all his progress. An left an impression on my son with her words . That she seen him doing very well. An she was gonna take her interview with him to present to the court on his behalf to receive a partial or full restoration of rights. His guardian had given a written statement on how she saw him fit to handle more responsibilities with his trust an other. We had gotten court documents signed by his doctor John Massaud at the time. That he had no problem seeing Josiah moving forward an handling more responsibility with his trust an other rights like voting an such. We had even gotten documents from my son's rehabilitation doctor Dr Roger Wolcott out of Lubbock tx signed on my son's behalf on all his improvements n recovery He oversaw an helped my son for 3 n half yrs on his road to recovery. All this to have the Karen Best not wanting to acknowledge these doctors documentation on my son's recovery. She didn't even present it to the court. Instead she dug up old neuro exams done close to the time of accident that were not accurate to his present situation an progress. She never even asked fir new neuro exams to be done. This lady played a wicked game with my son an his future progress. An not to mention the tremendous amounts of money she mentioned to us one time. That she was not cheap. An that her bill at the time was a high one. That's pretty much wat she was just in it fir an it was pretty clear. All this during the time of our economy's high inflation soaring. She lingered for over a year on this to make the most fir her pockets. My son is sadden by the horrible quality of work she'd done. After telling him such great things to rule out the doctors an other folks who had great passion to see something great come out of all this..With this an everything we experienced using Karen Best we do not recommend her to anyone. I'm not saying she not great lawyer she just chose to not do her best fir my son. Thank u

Sara has been an excellent source of knowledge for my startups. She caught errors in the filing I had when I originally filed for the licenses. She's helped guide things in the proper direction to diversify and protect the business assets. I absolutely recommend Sara for any business or estate planning needs.

I've known Sara for a while now and every time I have a question (no matter how silly it is) she always responds within the hour. I'm building a growing Start up and there is absolutely no one I rather have on my legal team than Sara. Her work ethic, knowledge, and attention to detail are second to none. I would highly recommend her if you are serious about your company.

I've had Sara help me on numerous legal issues over the past three years. She has helped the company I work for through two sales tax audits with great results. She has helped me register with the secretary of state for multiple states, and is willing to help me on any legal issue that may arise.

James was very detailed and did a great job explaining what we should expect and what was going to happen. He made the whole process very comfortable and stress-free when it could have been the complete opposite. My family is very appreciative of the help we received from James and feel extremely fortunate to have had him represent us. We would highly recommend him!

James is very professional and extremely easy to interact with. He took care of my business needs in a timely manner while keeping the lines of communication open. James has great customer service and has a knack for explaining technical lawyer jargon in layman's terms so it's easy to understand.

Whitney is a pleasure to work with. She made this daunting task easy to understand and accomplish. Our first meetings were virtual which was perfect for me. Additionally, her office is very easy to find on North Chadbourne. The conference room is comfortable and nicely appointed. Whitney’s knowledge and perspective on estate planning & probate is evident from beginning to end. She explained everything and gave helpful comments and suggestions when I wasn’t sure about something. I don’t know why I waited so long to accomplish this important task, but it turned out great because Whitney was the perfect fit to help me. I highly recommend that you hire Ms. Whitney Watson Wood to accomplish your estate planning!

This man’s wife Tracey charged me a consultation fee at the time I was setting up an appointment for $400, then I was never able to get a hold of them after that to cancel this appointment. I started trying to cancel at least five days prior.. So I disputed it on my card and would you believe they still are saying they think that charge is justified? I’ve never even met these people and I talk to her one time.? so be very, very careful letting them handle on a probate or estate matter..

Hal Noelke is an example of a truly honest attorney. In fact, after he completed all work on my case, his wife actually sent me a refund for the $300 left in my account. Not many attorneys are so honest. My husband and I can’t say enough wonderful things about him!

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.
