Ryan was an excellent resource and strong advocate that navigated me through every step of the process I knew nothing about. His expertise was very much appreciated and if he did not posses that knowledge he found the answer/expert immediately. I have had the privilege of working with Ryan both personally and professionally. I will, and have, recommend Ryan to friends and colleagues.

I hired Kyle Irvin long distance (1650 miles and sight unseen) to handle a trust for which I was trustee. I was not disappointed. A challenge from one of the beneficiaries made this trust take a turn shortly after it was opened. Kyle was extremely knowledgeable in trusts, and was able to analyze the legal issues involved and express them exceptionally well in both written and oral communications. He was always available by telephone, and was extremely patient answering my questions. When we ended up challenging the lower court's decision to a higher court, I was very impressed with his litigation skills. He displayed a very calm demeanor, yet was extremely fast and credible on his feet.

The team at Vaccine Injury Pros was incredible to work with. From day one they were willing to listen to my story and fight for me. They kept me informed every step of the way and were always willing to listen and answer any questions I had. They were amazing and I would fully recommend them to represent you for any vaccine injury you may have suffered.

Richard Moeller and his team at Vaccine Injury Pros are the A-Team of Vaccine Injury Attorneys. I went in to get my seasonal flu shot and immediately upon insertion of the needle I literally screamed out in pain. Probably like yourself, I have had many injections, usually accompanied by mild pain or discomfort but this one was different, something was really wrong. My arm and my shoulder hurt like hell and kept hurting for several days, then months. Upon researching this continuing pain, I realized that this injury was likely SIRVA or a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration.Being a lawyer, I conducted some additional research and then contacted Mr. Moeller and his team at Vaccine Injury Pros. They got all my background information and then obtained my medical records from multiple health care providers. My case was not an easy case because some information in the the medical records was not supportive of my claim. Nonetheless, Mr. Moeller and his team zealously represented my interests, consulted outside experts and obtained a very satisfactory settlement despite some difficult facts. Vaccine Injury Pros did not drop my case when confronted with difficult facts, they fought and won for me. I truly appreciate everything that they did for me. I highly recommend their team.

There’s so many positive words to say about Richard Moeller, and his team that consist of Coyreen Weidner, and the legal secretary, Melissa Jones. My initial call was to ask about a flu vaccination that went terribly wrong. Richard was so patient in explaining the legal system to me. He answered my questions and was very understanding of what happened to me. He was very professional and efficient. When he described a timeline of how claims are processed, he was spot on with the timeframe. I never had to call to ask about the status as Richard would call me to update the progress of the claim. This communication was very important to me. It was such a pleasure to work with Melissa Jones, his legal secretary. She was always friendly and courteous. I would highly recommend Richard and his team. The outcome far exceeded my expectations.

Jacqueline is the absolute example of how every experience with an attorney should be. From the very 1st phone call , which was really scary to do, the amount of professional and personal attention was exactly what I needed. She listens , she answers every call and email and conducts herself in a court room with such respect and confidence that makes you feel as powerful as her . The amount of time and attention she provided is endless. The amount of respect and pride she provides is admirable . Best experience I ever had .

I have not hire Ms. Goosmann but hired her firm to represent me and had the worst experience ever. Please note that with my 40 years of experience in hire Education I have worked with many law firms and am capable of assessing one. The firm is totally ineffective with a revolving door. During a year plus time I have had at least four different attorneys working on my case , one left another took over and the process keep getting repeated four time, two of were competent attorneys, the other two awful. In addition, every time a new attorney is assigned to my case I had to pay for their time to read and catch up. As a result I lost a substantial sum of money. I absolutely would not recommend the firm.

If I could rank Jeana Goosmann higher than a five-star, I would! Jeana is an outstanding attorney, responsive to all of our business needs, timely, accurate, fair, and helps us to work toward specific solutions that create legal win-win's for both parties. She is highly active in our community and respected by me and many others. She has created her own firm from scratch and done so in such a way that it rivals many of the long-time firms in our community. She is, without a doubt, a consummate legal professional. Our organization keeps Jeana's firm on retainer, and truly consider her our "legal department." She is exceptional!

when my son got murdered in 2004 i was so lds that i wanted only and lds lawyer. he met me in omaha. that was nice. he thought there was a big wrongful death suit. in the end he was not competent to handle the estate and quit leaving me hanging and sending me a bill for $10,000.00...yes, i said 10grand. he billed me more than the estate had in it. i was in shock over my son's death and he wrote me a letter telling me it wasn't his fault my son basically got himself killed. what a nice mormon guy. well, he may have gotten off the hook with Irina but i found his bishop and he was very nice. he told me to send him a copy of the bill and that took care of that. he has no morals but i didn't know at the time that mormon lawyers are just like the non-mormon ones. i was able to find another lawyer that charged me a couple of hundred dollars to do a lot of work and get my grandson some money too. that lawyer knew i had already been almost robbed so he was very nice charging so little which he did take out of the estate, but it was nothing.....for sure not 10K...he probably goes to the temple in omaha. maybe even after the consultation.

Mr Widdison finalized my divorce. He got the job done, but I don't see who would't - it was an easy case. However, the final invoice somehow turned out to be twice as much as initially discussed. Every attempt made to clarify the bill was dismissed. It's not about the money, it's about the moral character and his approach. Please be aware when making decision of appointing him to represent your interests. Research him, there is quite an interesting reading out there. Google Application of Widdison SD. I should have done a more thorough research before making my choice, that would have saved me a lot of headache.

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.
