Jason assisted us in getting our trademark published and devised an ingenious solution to overcome the initial rejection from the USPTO. His extensive knowledge, clear guidance, and genuine interest in our business made the process seamless. He also helped us resolve an issue amicably when another business filed an opposition to our trademark registration. I highly recommend his services!

Working with Jason was a real pleasure. He was both very personable and professional. Instead of meeting with a stranger, I almost felt like I was having a casual, yet serious, conversation with a family member. He took care of my issue quickly and completely. Absolutely zero regrets or concerns, and I would recommend him to anyone (including my real family)!

Joe Killoren has represented me as my son's representative in his wrongful death suit. He has been so kind, knowledgeable and compassionate. Going through something like this can be very challenging and emotional due to the nature of the cause of the suit. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and kind attorney at law.

I consulted with Robert Grimm regarding a Will/Inheritance that has become slightly complex. He was patient with my many questions, thorough in his answers and explanations, and very knowledgeable in this area. His advice may have saved me from further complications in the future, and I'm extremely grateful for his help. I will not hesitate to hire him, should the need arise.

In nearly thirteen years of practice, I vividly recall the three opposing counsel with whom I've dealt whose civility, objectivity, and impeccable moral character left an indelible impression on me. Ms. Gray is among those three. It's a rarity to have consistently fruitful interactions with opposing counsel, simply because the legal system is inherently adversarial. Lawyers must advocate for their clients, and many lawyers misinterpret "advocate" to mean "fight," in the most raw, visceral sense of the word. A skilled attorney can still fight for their clients while simultaneously maintaining a mutual respect and sense of decorum with the attorney on the other side, and Ms. Gray does so effortlessly. It's the old adage of "catching more flies with honey..." She and I had a case recently that, if being handled by two hothead attorneys, could easily have been contentious. Yet, because of her transparency, effective communicative style, and affable personality, we were able to resolve things amicably. She's the type of attorney a client wants on their side, and the type opposing counsel longs to deal with more often.

Early in his career, he represented me in a domestic suit. One thing that he told me has been good advice that has helped me stay calm in the face of injustice: "You can't make people better than they are. Only God can do that." I've shared that with many people over the years when they were faced with situations they were helpless to change.

They only take clients that are assumed innocent. Someone like myself who was given a ticket for the car accident they want take on as a client. You see I had a seizure and blacked out while driving and my friend and I were both hurt and taken to the hospital.I did not know that at the time because I had never had seizures before that moment. They tested me for alcohol and drugs and I was negative for both. The officer wrote me a ticket for driving on the wrong side of the rode. I knew I had not fallen asleep but it was late in the evening so that’s what they assumed after I tested negative for alcohol and drugs So we were both injured my friend more than myself but we were both injured physically and emotionally very much. So a few more weeks go bye and I’m leaving my aunts house who I had been staying with for a few nights because she had just moved back into town from California. So long story short I wake up after sleeping almost 12hours and leave my aunts that morning and on the highway about a hour later I total my truck and it catches on fire and I’m pulled from the truck unconscious and taken to the ER where there I finally wake up to them telling me I had just been in a accident.I was alone and no one else was involved I was not arrested but I was given a dwi even though I tested negative for drugs and alcohol. So I need a lawyer for that wreck as well as my first wreck. I was hospitalized again and another concussion with more injuries. I knew immediately I had just woke up from a great night’s rest so there was no way I had fell asleep. I knew I had a medical condition.they told me I had had a seizure and blacked out. I knew that is what had happened just a few weeks earlier with my friend and I. After going home after several more days in the hospital my friend found me having seizures on the floor foaming at the mouth having convulsions. They ran outside in the caldesac screaming that I was dying inside. Several neighbors came in and saw me having the seizures and called 911. So again I black out and when I finally wake up I’m in the Emergency Room again. It has been documented that I’m having all these seizures that cause you to blackout. I’ve had a rough couple of months with test in the hospital to see if it was any infection around my heart which they found there wasn’t so it’s my brain that’s causing the seizures and I’m seeing neurologist now and taking new medications twice a day to help control the seizures. So today finally feeling good enough tocall a lawyer so I find one on Google and they have five stars so I think wow. They must be great. So I call them and talk to them for almost a hour explaining everything and as soon as they ask me my friends name and number they tell me they don’t take client’s who are guilty since I was given a ticket. I was surprised that they said there policy is that they want help someone like myself who obviously has having some kind of medical condition that he’s just learning he has. So ok I’m shocked they didn’t want to help me but the next thing I know my friend who’s name and number I had just told Teds law firm about they call and tell my friend there’s no help for me but they can help them so could they represent them against me when I had just called wanting them to help us. I’m so disappointed in there what I find unethical choice. I’m now left to find a lawyer to help me and my friends not speaking to me. This is all just devastating. I will find the right law firm to help me. A organization that cares about everyone. Teds Law Firm isn’t that Firm. 1star only because they want let me do 0star. I wanted to let you know I won in court with the lawyer I hired since TED Law wouldn’t take my case. Don’t use these ambulance chasers. Find someone who actually cares about the truth

I hired them THREE times and I recommend them to EVERYONE after a car accident or injury on the job. If you're in charleston or Greenville or Summerville or anywhere in south Carolina, call them!! So grateful for them helping me THREE TIMES! I've used other lawyers before. Now this is the ONLY firm I trust.

Ted Law made this an stress-free process from beginning to end. Attorney Susco was amazing to work with. I hope I never need them again but they will be the first ones I call if I’m ever in another accident.

TaberPatrick offers an outstanding legal service in the low country. The level of commitment and responsiveness that Jon showed to our company was unmatched. They have supported us on contract negotiations, and employment matters among other legal issues. Highly recommend.

19 Jun, 2024 by Rich chang

Jon and the Taber Patrick team are THE legal resource and have been our go-to attorney from our start-up phase through to our merger and acquisition. One of their biggest differentiators is their ability to understand that the words and approach to a legal agreement must also meet business needs -- it isn't all just boilerplate words. There is give and take to meet our needs and also the other party's needs -- some items are non-negotiable, others are. We had worked with 3 other law firms before Taber Patrick and all they cared about were the words and not the business needs. Jon and team ask, "What if?" and "How about?" Being in Hilton Head was not an issue -- we're in Michigan. We highly recommend Jon and team.

Michael Polk wisely guided me through the South Carolina probate process following the death of my brother John Young. John was a retired South Carolina attorney. I was my brother's personal representative and live in New Hampshire. John's children and I are grateful for the clear, efficient, personal and professional instructions.

06 Sep, 2024 by Mack (mack1)

Mike Polk turned a horrific probate experience with Richland county into a walk in the park. He is a true man of his word. First of all he gave us a price with doing our grandfather’s probate but then it turned out we had to combine our grandmother's probate along with his and also transfer 3 properties into our name. (Thats two different probates and three properties) He went well beyond his job but stuck to what he quoted us from the beginning. He went through numerous obstacles from different counties relating to the properties but all I know is one day he called and said come sign off I’m done and I’m not going to change the price since that’s what I said from the beginning. Of course we didn’t agree with him and payed him extra. All paperwork from changing deeds and address was done. He was a very well spoken and somewhat a quiet guy but we got him joking around and laughing with us.😂😂 The office is very clean and neat and well put together.

24 Jul, 2024 by Julie carter

My husband and I were referred to Mike Polk at Belser Law Firm to write up a will and trust for us. Mike was excellent with explaining everything to us in terms that we could understand. He was very patient and kind. The office is in a lovely old building in downtown Columbia with a beautiful conference room where we could discuss our needs and wants. We would highly recommend this law firm and especially Mike if you are wanting to plan for you and your family's future.

There are not enough words to convey what a blessing Mr.Emerson was for our family. He fought for my daughter on a college level to make sure her accommodations were legally met. When we called him to tell him all the hard work had paid off and she was accepted into her program, it felt like we had just told a family member. He was so excited for her and that meant so much to us. He has a true passion and love for what he does. I would highly recommend him. He's not just an awesome attorney but he's a wonderful, caring person. We just can't thank him enough.

When I was referred to John Bowen, I was in desperate need of not only legal counsel, BUT empathy and compassion. John took me through every step of the way to ensure I could return to my chosen professional industry. Our primary objective was to return to my career, without incurring huge legal expenses. I was very forthcoming in regard my financial situation. John worked closely with me, and the case has been "dismissed". One of the most intelligent, compassionate lawyer I have ever had the pleasure to work with, AND know. Thank you John Bowen

Denny completely destroys the stereotype of the sleazy lawyer. Kind, patient, and oh so honest, he is outstanding in every way possible. We saw him for our estate trust. He told us right up front the cost, and how we would proceed. And then we did. No “hidden charges”, nothing he forgot to tell us, everything has gone exactly as he described. We have been so impressed with Denny, that we have recommended him to several of my friends, and they all praise him much as I have done in this review. The only problem with Denny is that he is not my next door neighbor! If he can’t be your neighbor either, at least be sure he is your attorney. You will never regret it.

29 Jun, 2023 by Donna

I called Attorney Fraser as the first step toward hiring an attorney for a legal need. He asked questions, considered my need and rendered an honest opinion that he is not the attorney that I need. Fair enough. But, then he went on to share twenty minutes of his. valuable time to help me sort through the issue, recommend other attorneys and professionals who could serve me and to help me with other pertinent considerations. It was a great conversation--helpful and considerate. I can't use him for my immediate issue, but he can be sure that he will be the first I call for future legal counsel. I would have great confidence in working with him in the future.

The best way to add to these superb (and accurate) reviews is by saying that Ross was originally hesitant to take my case against the major medical presence in our county as they have a stranglehold on everything. He evaluated my wrongful surgery, outlined options and included me decision by decision. I am thrilled with the results. Ross worked hard, professionally and smartly, answering my emails at all hours. He was meticulous about stating pros and cons and allowing me to be the final decision maker. And OMG, he has a sense of humor, can be really tough and is a pleasure to work with.

19 Aug, 2020 by Chris

Ross is a terrific attorney. He displayed an excellent grasp of our case, the relevant laws and worked hard to win. More important, he worked "smart" for us, by allowing us to take on some otherwise costly tasks, considering our comments, and being realistic about the potential outcomes. He tailored his advice to the situation in a way most attorneys do not, so that the final outcome was cost effective and as favorable as it could have been.

15 Aug, 2020 by Roland

My wife and I purchased our first home, and were takin advantage of by the contractor who flipped the house. We were subject to several costly and concealed construction defects. Ross Appel took our case. Ross fought hard to win us a reasonable settlement. He took an honest steadfast approach to our counsel. He openly informed us of all the challenges we would face throughout the process, a 100% no B.S. perspective. He then proceeded to defend our property. We are truly grateful to have Ross as our Attorney. We hope everybody is as fortunate as we are, to have such a focused, honest, talented, hardworking defender of Truth as their legal counsel. Thank you so much!

I highly recommend Mr. Mcleod. It is sad and disturbing how insurance company's treat you when a family member passes away. My 4 year son was left a life insurance policy by his loving, generous Uncle and the insurance company did all they could not to give my son what belonged to him without making us spend a large sum to get it. After going to another lawyer who said basically I need to pay the money to get my son his, I found Mr. Mcleod who immediately said that's not right. Needless to say I will be going to Mr. Mcleod for all my Lawyer needs as long as he is in business!!!

Tyler McLeod is excellent! I live in the Midwest but he was able to help my family navigate an unusual situation in South Carolina involving both a contentious property contract of sale and the death of one of the parties to the contract that would possibly have required probate. Tyler was professional, attentive, responsive, and creative. Additionally, I believe his demeanor helped us achieve successful resolution. I was very pleased with the process and outcome and I won’t hesitate to contact Tyler again should we have future needs in South Carolina. I highly recommend him!

I first met JD when my children were quite young and in a very bad situation with their biological father. JD worked with me and for me tirelessly and we had an absolute phenomenal outcome with that case. Since JD has assisted us in every little need we have had. Our.most recent, my husband had two aneurysms and a stroke and JD and his assistant, Carla, had the poa paperwork over to us in less than 24 hours. Incredible people, real people, that actually care. I would recommend his practice everyday, everytime.

We were referred to JD after a terrible car accident and his team quickly began to take care of us. After traveling to meet us due to limited mobility, he immediately began handling all the needs of the situation. Our case was handled beautifully and quickly. JD and his team are highly recommended.

Excellent trial lawyer!! Loyal, honest, hard-working, and a bulldog in the courtroom. Travis worked hard on a case for me out of the goodness of his heart. He believes in doing what's right and this situation was a prime example. Let me explain...someone filed a suit against me and my company. My insurance company denied the case, but I remember Travis saying he, "Couldn't let me go in the courtroom alone." There were times I had to tell him it was time to go home. He stopped at no end to see to it that justice was served in the case. I told him the Plaintiff was wrong, and not only did he believe me; he proved it. When we got our day in court, he was on fire. Sharp on the law and efficient with language. Ultimately, the judge directed a verdict of not liable and justice was served. We didn't have to pay any money to the Plaintiff!! The question is not whether you hire him or not, it's how bad could the situation could've been if you hadn't.

We hired Travis Hyman to help us with a car accident that resulted in me having whiplash, a concussion and multiple broken teeth. Travis did all the work for us to get all the medical bills covered and compensation for lost wages and damages. His office was not only effective but also incredibly kind. Travis, himself, did an excellent job of managing our expectations through a very difficult time. I would and have recommended Travis Hyman on multiple occasions! He is smart, thorough and effective. Travis Hyman is truly gifted at interceding on your behalf.

I was injured in a motorcycle wreck and hired Travis to represent me in that case. I was very satisfied with his efforts and the settlement he was able to get for me, which was $100,000! I highly recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

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.

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.
