I had been working indirectly with Rodney Gould for more than two years and then, directly for about 15 months. As a Successor Trustee, Rodney helped me to navigate settlement of the sale of a home and a family trust. He did so with integrity, professionalism, and compassion in a very difficult situation, (families are complicated). Rodney was responsive beyond belief, responding to emails and phone calls, often within minutes! Since I live out of state, and all matters in need of resolve were in California, it was critical for me to be able to rely on Rodney's expertise in California law. I would unequivocally recommend Rodney Gould! I put my faith and trust in him, and he never let me down! Shirley Bloom Glen Ellyn, IL

When I needed someone in my court, it was Rodney Gould that was highly recommended to me. Never ever once have I regretted that referral. Rodney Gould is not only immediately responsive to emails but always has the perfect advice or solution.The situation I had inherited was so complicated, an uphill climb all the way but not once did Rodney back away. Every step of the way his advice was spot on. He kept me positive and buoyant during the roughest of times. He was kind. He listens which is the greatest of attributes. He answered every question and believe me ~ simplistic they were. Never did I feel any condescension from Rodney regarding my naiveté. Rodney Gould is someone you will consider a friend. You might even forget he is your lawyer until the end of the journey. It is then when you are impacted by his expertise, his experience and especially the ownership of excellence that he personally possesses. Rodney Gould is more than a lawyer but a human being. Thank you Rodney. Laura Kenyon

I was referred to Michael by a family friend to assist with a sticky business contract negotiation, and I could not have asked for a better attorney for the job. His attention to detail, thoroughness, and focus in dealing with communications, contracts, and investigation of any and all related legislation / legal precedents is incredible. Beyond legal knowledge and experience, he is exactly the sort of person you want to help navigate legal procedures. Michael is professional, direct, and verbose. He is honest, straightforward, and does an excellent job of cutting through excess legal-ese to reach the crucial points. Finally, he knows when to inject a dose of humor and levity -- which can make all the difference when you're slogging through an arduous situation. I will not hesitate to call on Michael the next time I need support, and will recommend him to anyone I can!

He made it a joy rather than a chore and we are so grateful. We have our trademark in hand and could not be happier!

The care and efficiency I received is unmatched, to the point where whatever the end result was (which was GREAT!) I felt very at peace and confident because Nick took the time to educate me with so much and gave me the best reassurance and worked around the clock even if it was to let me vent out my frustration. They were all so very respectful and supportive and truly some of the hardest working and honest people I know. They truly care about your individual case and not look at you as just a dollar sign or way to take advantage of you. They take the time to work on your case as it was for their very own family member! This entire experience with them will stay with me forever! Can’t thank them all enough!!

After working with many different Attorneys, I started to believe that good attorneys don't exist out side of movies and TV. series. Until Shawna represented me in a complicated business transaction with a contractor. That was my first experience working with an attorney who knew what to do and how to represent her client professionally. It felt Good, since then she managed many cases for me, friends and family from personal injury cases to complicated business litigation and bankruptcy fraud. If it was not for Shawna's expertise and experience, I would have been defrauded in the Bankruptcy Court for nearly half a million dollars. I recommend her 100% to everybody for any type of problem you might have. Hopefully you will experience the same satisfaction I had.

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.

How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:

  • 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.

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.
