Working with Patrick was a joy. Although the wheels of justice seem to spin slowly at times, Patrick kept the experience as pleasant as it could be. He always presented the situation to me clearly and without bias, allowing final decisions to be mine.

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional representation from Aron Law Firm during a serious DUI charge. Mr. Aron and his team were outstandingly professional, providing clear communication and guidance throughout the process. They achieved the best possible outcome for my case, even with a high alcohol level DUI.
Their excellent representation and service allowed me to focus on my personal progress rather than the legal complexities. The fees were very fair. I highly recommend Aron Law Firm for their professionalism and commitment to their clients. Thank you for your invaluable help!!

So grateful for the best possible outcome for a attorney as could hope for. Tristan Verburgt got me the help of the Veterans Administration and enrolled me in the Deferment program. Best thing is it also opened the door to receive other VA services. Turned my situation around from being a career dampening situation into a positive over all outcome. If you are a Veteran in need of the Deferment program than Tristan Verburgt is who you are searching for.

TRISTAN helped me with a difficult legal matter. His communication was excellent, and he helped me understand what the best course of action was for me and my case. I would gladly use him again, although I hope I never have to. And I recommend him to others in a difficult legal situation.

Complete waste of time. I was referred to their office by legal aid, tried to set up a consultation with the information I was given, NO help whatsoever. We were then asked to seek services outside of their office...

Christine and her team are amazing. I was incredibly nervous and uncertain about what I should do regarding my situation. She gave me the strength and confidence to do what’s right by me and my family. I can’t thank her enough. She’s top class. Always responsive. Very smart. Empathetic. She fights for you and I would recommend her to anyone dealing with employment issues.

I really hope, that no other family has to go through what we have gone through in 2023 & 2024!! Truly !
This firm and these lawyers, are careless, reckless, and could cost you and your family A Lot of money. With their 'work' and the subsequent need to un-do their work. They do not keep their clients or beneficiary's needs, in focus, or top-of-mind. BEWARE

I needed advice and I needed it quickly on an ongoing landlord issue and John Thyne was there. He was thorough, kind, compassionate and swift to take action. I was so nervous leading up to this consultation, due to the length of time that this had been going on and the challenging communications that I was having with my landlord and the property manager, but John was so calm; he immediately set my mind at ease. I highly recommend him and his firm. They are extremely professional and get the job done!

Penny Clemmons is really expensive, but I felt like I got my money's worth when I met with her for our first session. We spoke at the end of that conversation about how I might continue to get support from her, and that included emailing her for references and so forth before moving on to mediation. Except that when I emailed her, she didn't respond. At all. (Which was consistent with some of the non-responsiveness hassle I experienced in trying to get the meeting in the first place.) I'm working with another lawyer right now, and I'm not sorry about the money I spent, but if you imagine that she might work with you in an ongoing, reliable way, you might be frustrated.

Ms. Clemmons does not know family law or California requirements for child support. After wasting tens of thousands on mediation, I learned from the Ca Dept of Child Support that all of Ms. Clemmons recommendations were not enforceable. My children forever will suffer because Ms. Clemmons lacks the professional integrity to advice prospective clients that she lacks expertise. Her shingle's out, she bills regularly and charges interest. I wish my two minor children who are not getting support could do the same. Shame on you, Ms. Clemmons.

Does not follow the agreed upon procedures. Does not prepare documents properly. We paid him to appeal on a procedure, for which we had 90 days to appeal and he never did it. His time is more valuable than yours, so he will not return phone calls. Everything is strictly filtered through his secretary. Recently through another attorney, we learned that we could have demanded our money back from the whole case, since he did not accomplished any of what he was hired for. This happened about 8+ years ago, so it may be too late to request money back. Mediocre attorney, but he thinks he’s great along with hid secretary.

I paid him $10,000 and he went though it in 4 weeks with NOTHING to show for it other than having someone served which I could have done myself.
Beware of this guy - his first priority is your money.

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.
