We have used Mr. Jenkins on many occasions both business and personal and he is hands down the most honest, dependable lawyer that I have ever known.
Would not even think of using anyone else.

I recently discovered that my property title deed had a mistake. I reached out to Mr. W. Shearouse, Jr. who had been our closing attorney 12 years ago. After a brief consultation, he made arrangements to correct the error which involved contacting previous owners. The correction was made quickly within 2 weeks which included a major holiday. I highly recommend this firm!

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.

We have had the worst experience with this law firm. Here we are 5 years later still waiting for our lawyer Patrick LeMaster to get back to us after filing our paperwork with the IRS wrong. We originally started my father’s estate with Andy Lohn who was amazing and very much missed. When Andy passed away our estate was handed over to Mr. Couch. After three months he passed us to Mr. LeMaster. We have had numerous phone calls in the beginning to catch him up with our estate and signed all paperwork to go forward with him representing us. He assured us he would contact my dad’s financial firms on our behalf so we could file the taxes and close the estate. He never went through with any of those calls two years ago. Last year he said we needed to contact the IRS to get the reports so we could have a record of the accounts. After three months he finally sent me the forms to sign which I immediately did. A few months later I received a rejection letter from the IRS that he didn’t check any of the boxes off before he sent it in. After calling and emailing him 5 months ago I still haven’t heard back from him. So now we are stuck not knowing how to move forward with this, taxes and closing of the estate and we all live in different states than our father did. Please use anyone but this firm. This has been so grossly mishandled for three years now and we just want to close this.

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.

Excellent at writing bills and asking for more money via phone. Funds that are accumulated in your account will be completely drained to zero in the next bill. Invoices / bills seem to match the account balance or exceed with no balance remaining. Paul demands to be paid in advance and wants a positive balance in the account at all times. Working class people cannot afford to; nor are they accustomed to pay for legal services in ADVANCE, try that as a restaurant, a doctor, a plumber or a mechanic...not sure why any lawyer should operate in a different manner. My numerous medical problems / bills, auto repairs and hurricane Debbie and Helene damage to my home have drained me financially, and although Paul said he understood; he is most interested in his next payment...all about the $$$$. Paul uses all the correct words in conversation, but it is the actions and the billing that speak volumes to me as a former client. To me it seemed like he was charging me to keep him on a retainer as I got billed excessively after sending him emails relevant to my case as I wanted to keep him informed of the ongoing issues relevant to the case. When I explained to Paul that I would send more money after our call and when I got a bill, he became defensive and was upset explaining that he cannot operate that way. Although I always paid Paul every cent I owed him, he seemed insulted that I did not send him $$$$ before our upcoming scheduled phone conference later that day. Verbal legal information provided by Paul costs you dearly, and a phone call can cost up to $300 to get answers to relevant case issues. When you ask for copies / documentation of the staff meeting minutes that you are charged for on the bill... you won't get them as they did not happen. Last bill I got charged $5 for postage and his office never mailed me anything. Documents provided to him by Dept of Labor were not forwarded to me by his office, I missed a DOL appointment as I did not know where to go and with what Doctor it was scheduled as DOL did not send me the information. Pauls's time clock runs very fast, and he will mention midway through a call that we are 15 minutes into a conference call and after the call, the entire call according to the cell phone timer was less than 13 minutes total time. Although Paul Felser may have helped some people, he provided me some very expensive advice, did not forward DOL documentation, did not see my case to completion and was most concerned about extracting monies from my account. Paul mentions while is talking to you about the time that he spends preparing in advance by reading case notes before the next call and gives you the impression that he spends a lot of time preparing for each call in advance of each call. My impression on several occasions was that he had not read what I had sent him and was shooting from the hip as specific questions that I wanted answers to were not always addressed. Photo shows a youthful and energetic young man fresh out of law school, I speculate that this photo it is at least 30years old and not indicative of the elderly and moderately grumpy attorney focused on $$$ that you will be dealing with.
There are not many Workman's Comp lawyers in the SAV area, and you are rolling the dice selecting Paul Felser to represent you especially if you cannot afford to spend at least $300 a month at minimum in your legal account with him. I do not have a lot of experience with other lawyers to compare, but as a 60 year old disabled veteran I can state that I am not pleased with the service that I received from Paul Felser. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Paul Felser as a Workmans Compensation lawyer based on my experiences and the return that I got for all the money I spent.

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.
