Gaylynn was very responsive, returned calls and kept me informed of what was occurring. I had worked with another lawyer and did not find that to be the case at all. She resolved a complicated QDRO in less than 2 weeks that I had been trying to get resolved for over a year. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a hard working, honest lawyer.

We contacted Mrs. Griffin about our case and immediately she put us at ease. She kept us updated on a daily basic by either calling or emailing us. She made us feel that she had everything under control and we had nothing else to worry about and we fully trusted her professional opinion and followed her advise. And even now that our case is over she has followed up to see that we were satisified and if we had any questions or after thoughts. I know that she will continue to work hard for ever one that seeks her professional help. I fully recommed that if you are looking for a lawyer your first call should be to Mrs. Griffin.

Mark and his firm came highly recommended to us when we were faced with issues arising from our new home build and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Mark and his team are very knowledgeable in construction litigation, very easy to communicate with during our ordeal and did an excellent job presenting our case in arbitration. Nobody likes to have to seek counsel out to settle a dispute, but when it is necessary, it makes it seem so much less daunting to have a professional like Mark Brewster and his team in your corner. We appreciate all the hard work they did on our behalf and will utilize his counsel on any contract review or other affairs that may arise in our future. We strongly recommend others do the same.

I had a multi-disciplinary legal matter last year. Although the allegations were without merit I was afraid of the potential consequences for myself and my family. Mr. Parra met with me and was able to calm some of those fears. He immediately went to work on my case and Within days he was getting results. My legal problems were completely resolved in a much shorter time than I expected with the best possible outcome and the price was reasonable. I’ve recommended several clients to Mr. Parra who have received the same care and treatment with similar results. The Parra Law Firm is now the only Law firm I recommend for San Antonio and surrounding areas.

I knew Scott from his work at his former firm. When I was looking for a new attorney in South Texas I found he had left and started a new firm with his wife. Initially I assigned two cases to his new firm. One which had been pending for more than three years. In less than two weeks Scott and his team had devised a strategy for shutting the case down with no exposure. They implemented the plan and had the case dismissed. Needless to say, I have assigned all of my South Texas cases to Scott's firm.

Joe was very informative, and gave us ideas of how to approach the formation of our LLC. He let us know in simple language easy for us to understand yet very thorough! We have an artistic business which is not the usual type of company, so Joe customized things to fit our needs. He was very prompt and detailed in his responses, and even if busy, got back with a time frame for his responses, which I find very professional ! Thank you for all your help Joe, we are very appreciative of your guidance in the formation of our new company!!

Mr. Rosenblatt is an excellent, thorough litigator. Patient, trustworthy, results driven, flexible and a great manager of time and resources. Extremely disciplined and respected in the entire legal community. Performs a very detail oriented investigation in to the factual components of a case to determine the pros & cons (and best course of action) to deploy regarding mediation, settlement and trial options. Mr. Rosenblatt respects the clients time, position and resources. He guides his clients through the process with a clear focus on the desired remedy. He knows when to hold'em and when to fold'em. He does't over play his hand or give his client un-realistic confidence or expectations. He is an "old-school" attorney who respects the process, people and the system. As a result, he has earned the respect of his employees, clients, jurors, opposing attorneys and judges. Though he handled specific contractual issues for my enterprise, I have spent many hours with him and through diverse discussions, I have determined that he has an extraordinary grasp of all business legal disciplines. I've handled several hundred cases as a risk manager directing outside legal staff and would place Mr. Rosenblatt in the top five percent of attorneys I've hired on behalf of my employer. Finally, he is fair and reasonable in his fee structure. If you have any concerns on how his firm handles billing, Mr. Rosenblatt will personally address the issue so that you are in complete agreement as to how your billing is calculated. He won't dodge you or refer you to staff for billing reconciliation. Reasonable fees, hard work, excellent staff and resources, honest representation...... What more can you ask for when you need an attorney?

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.
