This was my first time sueing anyone and I was very nervous. When we first met in person, Jim took the time to explain my options (including walking out and moving on with my life). I understood my options fully and I was very appreciative. When I got my first invoice, I was pleasantly surprised. He was very efficient with his time and even though he did a lot, the invoice amount was a lot less than I anticipated. I think this is partly because he talks very fast and always gets straight to the point. He is definitely not chit-chatty, which is a great trait when you are paying by the hour. He really doesn’t mess around and his experience helped move things forward as quickly as anyone possibly can in the situation. I highly recommend Jim, and I interviewed several attorneys before I decided to go with him. I felt good about him before hiring, and I felt great about hiring him after my experience with his services.

Mr. Dunn is a no-nonsense attorney. He gets right to the point and doesn't waist your time or money. We've used Mr. Dunn as our corporate attorney for most of our 40 year history. We've used him for non compete cases, employee discrimination, collections, contracts and many other cases. We've had favorable outcomes in most all cases. He is always responsive. Rarely do I find that we have to wait more than a day to get a response, which isn't typical in the legal world. He applies common sense in all maters, and most of all, I find his judgement to be sound. He speaks in terms that the lay person can understand. I highly recommend Mr. Dunn.

I have worked with Quinn on a number of issues. He is always honest and fair. It is hard to find a good attorney that will be honest with billing and still work tirelessly to represent your interests. My dealings have been with real estate issues and I have never worked with a more competent real estate attorney.

I run a services business out of my home. I was introduced to Michael by a mutual friend. I told Michael about some of the problems I’d experienced with customers and project collaborators in the past. That same week he drew up a set of contracts for me to use with future customers and collaborators that addressed all of the issues I’d been having … and a lot of others I wouldn’t have thought of. I just fill out some info on the first page to make it specific for each customer/collaborator. Having these makes my business and sales process so much faster and less stressful. Michael is super friendly but also very professional. Basically a great person to have on your team.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael at Remedy Informatics & again hired Michael while serving as COO of a renewable energy company start-up. In both cases, he was terrific to work with and provided high-quality feedback on critical agreements in short periods of time. He's easy to work with, fast, and does great work - all qualities that I value in an attorney. I look forward to doing business with Michael again.

Im a little behind with this review but I needed to give credit to the amazing team of attorneys from this firm that helped me get the most fair settlement from my car accident injuries. Insurance companies are never fun or easy to deal with but I’m so grateful that I had this team behind my back to assist me with this battle. John was always so extremely helpful, always had the time to answer all my questions and concerns, and most importantly ALWAYS believed in my case and pushed for more even when I just felt like giving up due to what felt like gaslighting from the insurance. John and his team were always there to support me, empathized with me, and were understanding of my pain. His paralegals were incredibly helpful and kind as well. Again, im so grateful for this team and all their hard work and dedication they put into my case. I would highly recommend this firm.

Charged me $225 for sending one email that took no longer than 10 minutes to compose. Tried to convince me that my divorce decree needed to be revised even though my ex and I agree on it. I would not recommend him. - take his response as proof. He mentioned a case completely unrelated to the review. Just another attorney who’s hungry for your money and will tell you that you need an attorney for the simplest of things.

I cannot express in words how much David Corbett helped me. I was in dire need of someone who was empathetic and sympathetic to my needs, and was willing to hear out every question, he answered them so kindly and in such a way that I could understand everything that was going to happen, and was very easy to talk with. He comes at my highest referral by far, and would send my own family to him if needed, he will not be making a mistake by retaining David Corbett, you’ll be making that best decision for yourself.

I met with a handful of other Lawyers before I settled on Hundley and Harrison. I really felt like this was the best fit for me. I was in over my head with Insurance companies after an accident, further complicated by my own medical insurance coverage. I found that I was kept in the loop, and things were handled professionally and costs were negotiated to significantly more reasonable rates. I needed to set up a trust additionally, and they were able to help with that as well. I'm honestly pleased with this, I felt like my concerns were heard and I was offered sound advice. Hopefully, I don't need a lawyer again but if I do, I'm giving them a call.

I contacted Mary after my father’s passing. He had a trust in place but it hadn’t been updated and I was faced with a situation I didn’t know how to handle. I was emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed and uneducated when it came to executing my father’s estate. Mary listen to my concerns, explained the situation in simple terms, created a plan to move forward, drafted necessary documents and executed the plan. Not only did I feel confident the situation would be handled and work out to my advantage, I felt well taken care of as Mary is very patient and knowledgeable.

My fiancé hired Mary Bevan to help her with a custody matter. After the first hearing we had concerns with Mary's approach and confidence in the court room, after the 2nd hearing we realized she was as good as having no legal counsel. She has no control whatsoever in the court room and she allowed the apposing lawyer to walk all over her. It got to the point where it seemed like Mary didn't believe my fiancé and constantly kept telling her to be honest in order for her to be able to help. My fiancé never lied and was honest from the start. We ended up firing her and hiring a new lawyer. It took the new lawyer 1 hearing to get the case resolved, Mary had 7 months and didn't do anything.

I found Pearson Butler via MetLife legal plan. Connected with Russ to get our family trust in place. Straight forward to complete, no complaints there. Reached back out to Russ about a completely separate matter unrelated to estate planning. His response was "I do not practice law in this area and thus, have not idea." I guess I just had more expectation than a lazy response with typos. Too much to ask if there's someone he can put me in contact with? I will be moving on from Pearson Butler and find another firm to do estate planning in the future.

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.
