Andy took my case on and from day one was very concerned and upset and what had taken place. He really invested in my situation, and not only did he show me he genuinely cared, he spent countless hours, time, money, etc fighting for me when it was a very large city against me. I would have had no chance against them, but instead we had a great outcome and it was all thanks to his perseverance and willingness to fight for me, and to listen to me. He will truly take the time to listen to you and he is so great at what he does, you can trust that no stone will be left unturned and he will not quit until you win.

I contacted William through email for a consultation on probate, he gladly set up an appointment for me the following week. He was very knowledgeable in this area and provided me with the necessary information I needed regarding my mothers estate. We came to the conclusion that I most likely will not need to go through Probate so I did not need to hire him but It was a pleasure talking with him. I would certainly recommend. Thank very much William I appreciate what you did.

Mr. Fife was very knowledgeable, informative and professional. He advised us of all our options, including the possibility of filing the paperwork ourselves (writ of garnishment). He also advised us of all possible scenarios if we did file. He kept us informed as the case progressed and ALWAYS answered our questions immediately as they arose. We would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer in his field.

Would I recommend this attorney? ABSOLUTELY! Mr. Fife is knowledgeable, honest and truly is on your side. He has such a strong character and is someone you can put your complete trust in. I cannot imagine having gone through all that we've gone through without his support, advice and expertise.

I just settled a social security disability claim winning full benefits. Gayle was the only person interested in handling the case. We did everything long distance and did not even have to meet with the Administrative Law Judge. That's how good her pre-appointment submission was. Gayle advised that the process would take 2 years, I had a very good case, and to be patient. She was exactly right. She even sent Christmas cards. Thank you Gayle. God Bless You.

Jonathon represented is in an extremely difficult dispute. While emotions were running sky-high, he always kept things real and remained grounded. Even when the opposing lawyers were getting sucked into all the drama, Jonathon always maintained such a sense of poise and clear-headedness under pressure, that it really helped us to remain focused and to weather the storm. I understand he is pretty selective which cases he takes, but if you can get him it is totally worth it. 100%

I only wish there were 10 stars for Josh Freeman and his excellent work updating my Living Trust! Legal work falls right behind taxes on my list of not too fun things to deal with. Necessary but defiantly not fun. Josh LISTENED to my desires, EXPLAINED legal jargon and in a few cases SUGGESTED what was in my Trust's best interest. All in all a painless and affordable resolution that will help me rest easier that all is in order.

I was referred to this firm by my CPA. Joshua did a great job assisting me with a real estate transfer and cleaning up our business filings with the state. He handled everything very professionally and required surprisingly little help from me to understand our needs and get it done. Would definitely recommend and would hire again.

I worked with Josh on a number of items including business formation, product liability, and trademark needs. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and he was incredibly efficient and thorough. Not to mention, he was always conscience of staying within my budget for my startup business and walked me through the different paths I could take while clearly articulating my best options. I would highly recommend engaging with Josh for your legal matters.

Adam is supportive and nurturing to his clients , courageous and resolution driven in his interaction with opposing parties and incredibly responsive , overall the most personal, attentive experience I have ever had with an attorney . I am so incredibly greatful to him for ironing out a complex tax situation from the past that frankly I had been just avoiding because I couldn't resolve it myself . Adam relieved my anxiety and managed the problem until it was resolved to my satisfaction. I could not be more impressed . I am so glad I picked up the phone and called him . The next chapter of my life literally has a new beginning because of him !!

All I had to do was tell Mr. Easter once what was going on with the Utah Tax Commission. I had no idea what to do. He immediately told me exactly what information he needed and I never worried another minute about what was happening. He kept me informed and handled everything. The case came back in my favor and I saved a ton of money! Thanks, Adam Easter!

Chris was by far the best lawyer I've ever dealt with. I've had several occasions to work with other attorneys which don't hold a candle to Chris. He was very responsive and very persuasive in court. He is from London England and his Brittish accent can be very persuasive in American Courts. He got me everything I was hoping for and more. I will never use another attorney other than Chris from this time forward. Amazing results, amazing follow up and communication. I felt like I was informed throughout the entire process. That is a first for me!! Great job Chris!!

I have worked with Cameron Daw for several years and have been quite pleased with his support, quick turn around and recommendations. I look forward to many more years working with him as our most highly trusted legal counsel. If we were in a place to do so we’d hire him full time. He has finished requests by his deadlines and helps us really understand before we engage in a specific endeavor what it will take to get it done which has been really valuable from a time and money perspective. I would highly recommend him to any business. I have used him for an established business of 7 years and recently starting using him for a startup and can tell you he is very capable across the business spectrum.

I engaged Mr Diehl to review my estate as I approached retirement to double check my overall estate planning and financial well-being. He meticulously reviewed all aspects of my estate and provided sound courses of action given several scenarios along with detailed recommendations. These recommendations have proven to be "right on" as I have entered into the next phase of my life with low risk concerns of my portfolio. He recently followed-up with additional recommendations based upon one of my investment scenarios. Highly recommend the advise of this excellent "Counselor"!

We have worked with Mr. Rammell for more than three years. He has provided us everything from title opinions, title curative, regulatory issues, joint operating agreements, etc. on projects in Utah and Wyoming. He is licensed to practice law in Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado. His biggest asset is that he operates and develops his own oil and gas properties – he knows the ins and outs of oil and gas from an operator’s experience in addition to the legal side. He has hands-on experience with the gamut of petroleum related issues – ranging from permits, royalty distribution, regulatory issues, operating agreements, contractor agreements – whatever it take to structure and obtain revenue from a petroleum project. Mr. Rammell receives production checks from projects he has developed for his own account. We have also highly valued his counsel and expertise in putting projects together. The man has a keen ability to strategize and assist in deal making. We have used large, expensive law firms (Mr. Rammell has been part of those type firms in the past) and have gotten further and faster, at a much reduced cost, using Mr. Rammell.

I hired Mr.Bray to represent me in my divorce, based on statements and suggestions he made at our initial interview/consultation. However, once he got my retainer he filed no temporary motions he talked about, drafted no countersuit as indicated he would, and completely vanished with no responses for 2 weeks before labor day when I needed advice going into mediation. When finally managed to locate him through Overson & Sheen to verify he still worked there, he offered no explanation and scheduled a meeting the following week. He did not address any of my concerns at that meeting, in fact he was still unprepared for mediation issues the day before it was scheduled. I was lucky enough to retain competent representation for my divorce proceeding and release Mr. Bray as my attorney. I have asked repeatedly for an itemized accounting of his services against my retainer and have yet to get one. My mistake, this man did nothing for me, just took my money. Later found out he was disciplined by the state licensing authority for similar poor performance!

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.
