I highly recommend! He was hired as defense by my insurance company and yet still truly cared about the outcome for me personally, not just the outcome for my insurance company that hired him. When it would've been quicker to settle for a large amount of punitive damages that I would've had to pay out, he continued to fight until the punitive damages got brought down to zero. He was even willing to travel all the way to Dallas to advice me during my deposition.

Clay not only handled my case smoothly and professionally, he seemed to genuinely care about my well being as a person. 10/10 would hire again, but hopefully I don't have to.

Can I give this place a 0 star? I had to have Dana Watson as an Attorney Ad Litem (attorney for my children), after it was ordered by the judge in my case. She did a terrible job, and my children agree. She had her mind made up before the case started after talking to my children once and making up her mind in one month; violated my constitutional rights in the beginning of 2022 by not allowing me access to a key witness in the case; slandered me in the firm's office in June 2024 by stating that I avoided service when I obviously didn't; and, my children now refer to her as names I can't type here.
She also refused to serve me in person and decided that an email would suffice, when a 1st year legal student knows that method isn't constitutional.
The firm also decided to charge me $175 for service fees, when I was never served in the case.
These are all facts, and I can prove them.
DO NOT use this firm for any legal services. I wasn't granted a choice. You all have a choice.

Legal Aid of Arkansas has an application for Domestic Violence, yet they do not help with anything criminal (at least that is my understanding) and that should have been my first red flag. I applied for assistance as I have no income, and had recently discovered that victims of CSA can make cases against their abusers in Arkansas until the age of 50. I honestly applied because while I have a BSW degree, and want to pursue a law degree in the future, I can readily say I know next to nothing when it comes to, well, legal aid! So, this being said, I thought I could at least receive a pointer from Legal Aid of Arkansas as to where I should go, and to be fair I received one - i.e. "get a private attorney, we can't help".
I had called to check up on my application and the woman who answered was literally laughing on the other end. Laughing! And I could not tell if it was because of filling out the incorrect application, or the content of my application, or if someone was goofing off in the office next to her. She laughed for a good solid three minutes, chuckling through her conversation with me. She even told me she was, and I quote "losing my mind over here" - to which I replied trying to be kind "boy to I understand that!". She asked if I needed an Order of Protection (this must be the only DV oriented thing they can provide but- is that not a criminal instance? the line of civil and criminal is nuanced as heck). She then put me on hold for a while then came back and gave me the news I mentioned above. Then, pitifully, as if saying "poor you" told me to "try and enjoy the rest of your day".
I have been working up the courage to go after my childhood abusers and reached out to Legal Aid of Arkansas and they gave me very unprofessional service and absolutely no direction to go in. I do not actually know what they are there for if again, they have a domestic violence application that you can literally fill out fully, but can't, don't or won't(?) help with criminal things. Boy, when I get that JD degree in the future (gotta have goals right?) I fully plan to pursue the betterment of services of this kind for all incomes, all situations and all demographics. Justice is frilly, lacey, and moot if justice cannot, or doesn't bother to serve everyone. Or at the very least, throw you a tangible option to pursue your needs. I am back to square one and with courage evermore- I hope for anyone in a similar situation to mine that you hang onto your courage and to press into your goals. You are not alone no matter how it may feel sometimes.

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.
