When I first started working with Georgia it was a bit intimidating because she has so much knowledge and I couldn't keep up. She's such a great person because when I lelt her know that I needed for her to break everything down for me, she did it with such grace and patience. She went above and beyond for me, even when I started to feel a little defeated. She was my strength and got me through it all by not only holding me together but, by winning my/our case in a strong way. She is a force to be reckoned with in the court room! Awesome Attorney!!

I was referred to Pinak Law Firm through my medical director at work. My director had a divorce a few years ago and mentioned how happy she was with Vicki as her lawyer. Once I consulted with Vicki I knew she was someone I wanted to move forward with for my child custody case. I never had to wonder or speak to anyone else and got my questions answered directly from her. She is always on the ball with anything that I ask for and supportive at the same time. I put her through alot of stuff and she still remains by my side helping me through. I am so grateful to have a lawyer like Vicki Pinak.

Proof is in the Performance: We are US citizens, retired in Mexico with family and Medicare in Houston. I've headed Nasdaq & Asian public companies from Silicon Valley for 30+ years with significant legal teams. Now we are finally focused on ourselves and personal legal representation is at the forefront. Due to an emergency medical situation February 28, 2019, we arrived at 7pm in the Methodist Hospital ER and needed full legal help--- Wills, DNR, Hippa, Pwr of Atty, +. T-G, PLLC only had 24 hours to prepare all documents, come to the ER on a Cold and rainy night, bring a witness and a Notary Public and explain clearly ALL to us. WOW! Ms. Grubbs is a valued professional with an easy demeanor and total grasp of what's needed. We are most impressed, pleased with the documents and her personal caring service. Thank you Betsy.

When I was inundated with several pages of contract terms I didn't quite understand, I hired Teltschik-Grubbs. Betsy was very professional and deciphered all the "legal jargon" into something I could understand. She saw my contract term negotiations through to the end. I'm thankful I hired them cause I could have been at great risk on a "one-sided" contract.

I hired him because my ex was trying to get full custody of my children. I told him then I wanted to go for full custody for my son. We ended up in mediation the ex dropped the full custody and changed kids pick up time and address for pick. I asked him why can’t we just go for full custody and he said it’s because she did the modification and since she backed down I’m good. After signing I asked when can I go back for custody and child support he said wait about 6 months cause a Judge doesn’t like to see you too soon. Well it took them 5months to get the Judge signature and I decided to file myself to find out I have to wait a year later from the time the judge signed. The judge said I should have done all of that during the last modification. It didn’t make any difference if she filed the motion. I could gotten my son and child support increase last September. Mr. Brown knew that. I can’t go to the attorney general because I have to wait 3 years from the divorce. I can only use an attorney to get my child support that due and it’s hard to trust them after they take your money and curve the truth.

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:
