I was referred to Christie from my in-house counsel as I wanted to review Estate planning and update my Will. She was so accomodating and quick to respond. She also provided additional security measures for my estate, and while she recommended them, she was not pushy and accepted my decisions. If you are ever in need of a solid attorney for Wills or Estates, there is an outstanding one in Savannah, GA.

As an attorney, I knew that I wanted someone very smart, skilled, and respected to represent me in a contract dispute. Christie went above and beyond to keep me informed of what was happening in my case, and did a wonderful job drafting and negotiating a settlement. The other party was at times very difficult to deal with, but Christie was a consummate professional and was able to negotiate around all of his concerns. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a true "advocate" working on his or her behalf.

Christie has been an important resource for me as I have started to operate my pet sitting business as a "real" business. I felt much more secure having Christie form my LLC rather than fumbling around trying to do it on my own. Christie is also an excellent writer. She took my mismatched business policies and formed them into a cohesive whole that I'm proud to share with my clients. I really value Chrisie's help in taking my business to the next level.

Mrs. Sullivan was prompt in returning my calls when I was initially looking for an Estate and Gaurdianship/Conservatorship Attorney due to an emergency circumstances. I would highly recommend Mrs. Sullivan. She handled my very extreme and complex case like a Champion. She is very respectful, thorough and she cares what happens to her Client's. She explained the courts process in probate by putting them in lamens terms and was very patient and understanding in repeating anything that I may have misunderstood or had gotten confused on while going the process of paperwork or anything else for that matter. If you are looking for a attorney to handle any complexed and extreme case you may have call Mrs. Sullivan you will not regret you ever did. I am living proof that she gets the job done quickly and she is very precise. Sheprotected my rights when I felt I had no one else that would consider my extremely difficult cases. Thank You Mrs. Sullivan you are an angel sent from above. God Bless you!

When I was looking for an immigration lawyer years ago, I was given a contact information for Mr. Fleming by another foreigner, who told me that this attorney was the best and that there is no reason to look further. After meeting with Mr. Fleming, I felt very comfortable hiring him as my attorney. I worked with Mr. Fleming on getting my visa and a Green Card. He has an extensive experience, deep knowledge in areas he practices and high professionalism. Mr. Fleming was able to explain me the process very well and guide through this complex journey.

I wish there were more stars because Mr. Jenkins deserve them. My experience with a lawyer that I have never met other than over the phone was one of the most amazing Blessings I have ever had. From beginning to end, Mr. Jenkins shared with me every step he was making, every document and asked for my permission to continue before he proceeded to work my case. He went out and beyond with every expectation to accommodate me. I'm very happy to share my experience because everyone needs to know there is a lawyer that you can trust and know that he is working for your good and not just a check for himself. I challenge any and everyone who read this review to give him a try. You will not walk away disappointed, and you will never forget the wonderful services of the Law Offices of Daniel C. Jenkins, LLC

I cannot recommend Attorney Jarrett Maillet highly enough for his outstanding legal services. From the moment I reached out to him, he demonstrated a deep understanding of DUI law, incredible professionalism, and a genuine commitment to helping me navigate my legal situation. His approach was both compassionate and strategic, making a very stressful experience much easier to manage. Jarrett’s expertise really shone through when he was able to reduce my high BAC DUI charge to a lesser offense. His thorough knowledge of the legal system, combined with his excellent negotiation skills, made a significant difference in my case’s outcome. He left no stone unturned, reviewing every detail to build a solid defense, and his determination resulted in a much more favorable result than I had ever expected. If you are looking for a lawyer who is skilled, approachable, and truly cares about the outcome of your case, look no further than Jarrett Maillet. He is a top-notch attorney, and I am extremely grateful for the excellent service and results he provided.

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.
