We hired Mr. John Carson for our son who was very easy to talk to and down to earth. Our son is only 20 years old facing license suspension for Super Speeder, Speeding in a Construction Zone, more than double the speed limit. Mr. Carson, with his excellent knowledge and superior professionalism. got our son off of all major charges, no license points or super speeder. We only had to play a very small fine which I had no problem with at all. Thank you Mr. Carson for everything and you are highly recommended. We now have you as our attorney if needed.

The Johnston Law Firm was truly a Godsend for my husband and our family during a very difficult time. His workers' comp case was overwhelming, especially when we tried to handle it ourselves after local attorney's wouldn't help. When things became too complex, we reached out to Johnston Law Firm, and it was the best decision we made. Jonathan and Brandi immediately stepped in, rolling up their sleeves and taking control of the situation. They consistently kept us informed, answered every question with patience, and explained every step in clear, understandable terms. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, my husband's case settled for much more than we ever expected. If you're facing a workers' compensation issue, here's my advice: 1) Don't try to navigate it alone-workers' comp attorneys are there for a reason, and 2) Contact Johnston Law Firm, LLC. You'll be in the best hands possible!

I wanted to express my deepest appreciation for the work that Oliver Maner LLP did regarding the legal action taken against me. This action involved a high-profile case, with national news coverage.
Mr. Pat O'Connor and the other talented attorneys of the firm addressed the case filed against me in a professional manner with constant follow-up.
The team was very thoughtful and expressed a deep concern concerning the situation I was facing. The team made me feel comfortable, explaining the legal demands and responses required.
The expertise offered by Mr. O'Connor and his associates is among the best I have ever worked with. I have been involved in the legal system since 1983, working in public safety.
Mr. O'Connor takes time to explain the course of action, outcomes, and avenues to address the situation. The follow-up on questions and timely reporting of action helped to alleviate the normal stress filled period.
I would, without hesitation, recommend the services of Oliver Maner LLP and Mr. Pat O'Connor and the other attorneys at the firm.

Contacted and spoke to Rebecca Sczepanski a month ago regarding work about ERISA law. Initial communication was good, but I have not heard or received any updates for a month now. Zero follow-up about progress of work just a simple “I’ll get back to you”. I ended up having to contact other sources to get my questions answered. I’ve terminated work with this firm after getting no legal advice at all and only exchange of a handful of emails. Do not recommend.

Terrible experience with inexperienced lawyers. I orginally called this firm to possibly handle my claim for probate and possible litigation. I spoke to David Burkoff who did listen to my case which involved my brothers fraudulent actions. David did seem interested and asked questions to see if he was competent in supposedly the line of expertise they handle. The next day i get an email stating in short that there was no conflict of interest but said that he would be too expensive and then he proceeded to pawn me off on one of their inexperienced lawyer Gracie Shepherd Saas. David said that this was an area she could handle and proceeds to give me her contact info to see if this was a case she could proceed with. I left a message with Gracie the same day as she was copied in the email. I didn't here back from her so i wrote an email and four days later we spoke.
When we spoke i gave her an outline for of my case for approx 20-25 minutes. At the end she didnt ask any questions and the only thing she wanted was a copy of my parents will and trust. I asked why she needed this because this was Not pertinent info she needed right away. She didn’t answer me. I gave her what she needed and she said she would get back to me right away. Well, she never got back to me. I also left David a message three days ago and Never heard back from them. They completely ghosted me. I can see that Gracies inexperience and unprofessional manner by ghosting me will greatly impact this unprofessional law firm. I just wonder how many other people they haven't followed up with. I'm assuming they only want easy, straight forward cases that don't require and skills other than just having a law degree. I would definitely pass on this inexperienced law firm that doesn't have the decency to even return calls nor show any professionalism.

This lawyer lacks understanding of the family court system. His history is in criminal law. In order to handle my case he had to consult with other lawyers which ate up my retainer quickly. So, essentially you end up spending more money for his ignorance. He and his assistant do not communicate well with clients. He failed to provide me with copies of necessary documents and I often had to make extra trips to his office because of mistakes he had made. Because he doesn't have enough experience, he misses a lot of detail. If you are looking for someone to practice family law, he is not your man.

I interviewed Atty Harris concerning a the placement of a Georgia Power pole adjacent to my property, that would interfere with my planned circular driveway. He said that he could file a stop work injunction, if I would pay him a $500 retainer. I paid the retainer, left his office, and 10 minutes later he called me to say that he could not get the injunction. He would not refund the retainer.

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.
