Michael C. Wynne represented my company regarding a defaulted promissory note that was due us. Mike & his law firm handled themselves in a very professional and ethical manner and were successful in getting the other party to perform on the note in a timely manner. The communications utilized throughout, both verbal and written, were timely, direct & well prepared yet also gave due consideration to the other party which, in my opinion, greatly helped with the negotiation process. I felt that the appropriate amount of time was applied towards my case to obtain resolution and appreciate that no one just “left the meter running” regarding legal charges. I can highly recommend Mr. Wynne and his law firm, Wynne & Smith, for any business related legal representation.

I can't recommend Jackie VanZant enough! I called Jackie about a situation that was complicated and had me very stressed out. Jackie was honest, explained the options I had, and absolutely had my back in my case! I appreciate that he was always there when questions came up and didn't hesitate to answer in terms that I understood. Jackie was there every step of the way to help make the right decisions and ultimately win my case. I will use Jackie for all of my future legal issues! Thank you VanZant Law!

I couldn't have found a better representative for our situation. Mr. VanZant took a case most firms wouldn't touch and got us a substantial win considering the charges. His attention to details and ability to work with our financial situation gave us a second chance. Hands down the best attorney I'm Grayson county.

Get Mr Brooks if you want a confident winner, super knowledgeable and who goes over and above for your specific need. I won’t go in detail what he helped me out with but I will say I was more than satisfied. Office staff is top notch and returned my calls even though they are always busy. Who wants a lawyer that’s not busy?
Was treated like a client and not just another person, but they will let you know if you are doing something you shouldn’t be as well, about business the correct way. Thanks a lot Brooks law firm.

Bryan represented me a little over 10 years ago. The case was extremely difficult and time consuming. There were many ups and downs, but his team was able to discover information damaging to the opposition. You get what you pay for and I paid a lot to win and win is what he did. I have to remain anonymous, but this is a real review.

Mike Dunn was my criminal attorney, and his advice was for me to stay in jail because he thought I would be no billed. I was indicted after waiting 90 days in a horrible tiny jail. He visited me once, and never returned my loved ones' phone calls. He gave ng not a bit of advice prior to court, and I was sat down with the DA to make an agreement. Everything the DA asked me, I'd look to Mike Dunn to see what I should say or do. He literally shrugged. He sat and chit chatted with his brother who was also I the room. I ended up with a horrible plea agreement (10 years probation with a YEAR of "rehab" in a christian facility that was for battered women- NOT rehab) I had already done a total of 6 months on this state jail felony. I asked him how I could just get time served. His reply was "get your probation revoked and then ask for it". Now I'm trying to go to nursing school and because this idiot didn't even try to get my charge adjutified, I am no longer able to become a nurse which is my passion. My conviction was over 10 years ago, but that does not matter.

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.
