I hired Danielle based off of a recommendation and am sure glad I did! She is personable, knowledgeable and knew what she was doing. My ex’s attorney tried every shady trick in the book and Danielle knocked it out of the park. I am so grateful she was on my team! And don’t let her young face fool you, she is deceptively fierce in the best way possible!

Danielle came personally recommended to me and she was excellent! I have worked with several attorneys before (unfortunately) and Danielle was truly a step above the rest! I have already recommended her to others and will continue to do so based on my experience with her.

We hired Danielle to handle our adoption and we could not be more happy with our choice. She was attentive, understanding and compassionate and made the adoption process easy. My spouse and I heard horror stories of adoptions gone wrong and were concerned heading into the process. Danielle explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made the process smooth. Danielle helped us complete our family and we are so thankful for our experience with her as our lawyer!

With two short meetings I have confidence that the Will and Trust created is what I needed. Andrew understood what my intentions were and quickly got a preliminary and final draft done and back up me without lots of conversation. I learned a lot about the rules and tax laws affecting my decisions. Very helpful.

I worked with Emily for several years and she always took such good care of me. She is a rare combination of brains and heart.

If you're reading this, you are looking for a attorney. Such an endeavor is very stressful and you're likely in an extremely emotional state of mind. First, let me point out that even though lawyers take a oath, most are very crooked and just out for money. Once the money runs dry, their services do too. You are in need of someone that is honest and has your best interest at heart, willing to see things through to the end, not just throw in the towel when things get complicated. You are in need of someone that is knowledgeable, understanding, and dedicated. I can tell you that Emily Brooks meets these things, and they are very, very hard to find in today's society. I hired Emily in 2015 with a real estate issue where the other side had millions of dollars to spend on attorneys and corruption, and I have an extremely limited income. I had first used Northwest Justice Project (NWJ), but when they found out how complicated the case was due to the unethical conduct of the other side, they suggested I hire an attorney with more resources that can devote more time and energy to the case. Emily was fresh out of school and just opened her own office. Even considering how inexperienced she was, she regularly went up against attorneys with 30+ years of experience and had an impressive track record. As a matter of fact, she had to deal with over 4 of them all having over 30+ years experience in real estate law for our case alone! The other side kept filing frivolous motions, appeals, and any other delaying tactics throughout the entire 4-year battle (starting with NWJ), despite strong verbiage from judges on how fruitless such actions would be. Emily fought tirelessly and stayed focused on our case, always saying this was about justice and making things right. Because of our income, we only could afford to have Emily write us some letters initially, but when she saw the injustice, she fought the entire case at trial with minimal further financing from us. A lot of the work was also done by her paralegal, Jonathan, who also was despised at the unethical behavior of the other side, and took a considerable amount of time out of his own personal life to help fight this case. In the end, Emily won our case! Actually, she won on three separate occasions on three different angles the other side kept trying to pursue before the other side took things to an appeals court. Unfortunately, we did not retain Emily for the appeals case because we were not sure what to expect, but our appeals attorney (who also had 30+ years of experience) was able to keep the case from trial purely because of the excellent documentation and work Emily had done. Let me also point out that the appeals attorney didn't seem nearly as efficient or knowledgeable as Emily. We are so thankful for Emily for all she did for us and highly recommend her to anyone needing an attorney.

My wife and I rented a house in Ellensburg WA. for a year. Prior to leaving we made sure the house was spotless and looked better then when we arrived. After moving we found out the landlord, who was use to renting to college kids, tried to keep our deposit stating the house was not properly cleaned and had reported damage that we did not do. We really didn't care about the money so much but hated the idea of this person taking advantage of people who couldn't do anything about it. After a quick call to Gonzaga University's law department, I was referred to Emily Brooks from Brooks Plumb Law Firm. Within no time, and after sending off a well crafted letter to the landlord, she got us a 100% refund and compensation to pay legal fees. We were out nothing and the landlord learned an important lesson. Emily showed why she is in the profession she is in. We highly recommend her and very much thank her for the support she provided to our family.

Recently, my husband and I had the pleasure of working with Heather Raddatz at the Moulton Law Office in Spokane Valley, to create a living trust. Heather was very helpful with helping us understand how the living trust works and the steps we need to take to get it completed. She was very patient in answering all our questions. Best of all, we were encouraged to call/e-mail her anytime we have questions in the future.

David handled a traffic ticket for me that was the result of an auto accident. He was clear, concise, and very easy to work with. David worked quickly and walked me through the entire process. He gladly answered all of my questions (I had a lot) and had the ticket dismissed within a week.
I highly recommend him. David took the time to look through the aspects of my case and was obviously prepared when we met. He is very personable and can easily relate law jargon to people who are not lawyers. Two thumbs up!

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.
