Never really trusted lawyers, and I thought they were all a bunch of double talkers, out for themselves...well that is until I met David.
He has worked so closely, and so compassionately with my wife and I to help us through a series of civil litigation problems, that he feels like family. Now I know what my father meant when he would say, “Every family should have a good mechanic, doctor, and lawyer!" Well our family has David, that’s for sure.
We know God has blessed us with this man in our lives. If you want a litigator who will listen, truly listen to you, and actually care about you and your outcome, and then will roll up his sleeves and get to working and fighting hard for your case, look no further than David. He’s the Man! Wow, can’t say enough!

David helped clear up some real estate and title questions that I had. He was considerate, upbeat, and has a real eye for detail. He was also a great listener and I never felt like I was being talked down to. His energy and intelligence really made me feel like I was in good hands and his legal advice was thoughtful. I would recommend David to anyone who is seeking advice on property or real estate issues.

For the last two years I have been taking care of a Aunt with dementia. Before she got sick she executed a complete trust package, will, trust, Medical POAs etc. It was a huge help in taking care of her.
My wife and I had always put off getting our "Stuff" in order till I met Craig. He walked us through the whole process and now we are prepared like my Aunt was. Craig answered all of our questions, took his time to make sure both my wife and myself felt very comfortable with our decisions etc. The staff was friendly and professional yet brought some humor into a what could of been a tedious process. I would highly recommend Craig and will use him for all my legal needs.

After interviewing numerous Attorneys, I knew the moment I talked with Thomas Hogle, he was the one I needed to hire to handle two of my cases. His kind, understanding, courteous professional manner was a great stress reliever as he put me at ease. He asked questions and allowed me to ask as many questions in return. He kept me informed every step of the way addressing all my options. He made himself available with a very quick response time, even after hours. He didn’t just hear me; he listened to my situation and even recommended an aggressive Family Law Attorney to assist me further in another matter. In addition, his costs were very reasonable. I highly recommend Thomas to help you with your legal needs. You will not be disappointed.

Hi Andre, I appreciate you replying to my review. I appreciate your condolences. Thank you. I feel you care and you do want to help people and it shows. I just wished your answering service had the same care and concern as you do. I only wrote this review because if you don’t know what’s going on with the first point of contact, you can’t make improvements.
I do believe there is miscommunication somewhere. I am in no rush. I not quite sure where my urgency came into play. I did not schedule a consult or an appointment with you. I was given a date of 1/8 for the a consult date. I was not given a time. No information was provided on whom the consult was with. I simply decided to decline scheduling because I did not have a good first impression. I wrote my review solely based off my first point of contact.
If I could make a recommendation. I would ask your answering service to give information on how they set up consults, who they would like to schedule the client with and dates of availability. Then gather the personal information to schedule.
If you would like to personally reach out to me, you do have my information. Thank you again for your reply.
** Initial Review**
I called to inquire about modifying my trust and will. I spoke to Michelle and told her I needed to make modifications to my trust and need to change my POA as well as my guardianship. There could be some other things I need to modify as well, but I was unsure. She told me to hold on for a minute and all of a sudden anther lady picked up the phone. Michelle never told me she was transferring me to someone to help me with my questions, just asked me to hold on a minute. I spoke to that lady about the above information. She told me she doesn’t do guardianship. What!? I told her, so my son will go to the state. No! Guardianship of a child, in the event I pass away. Legal gaurdian. She told me she is in probate and transferred me back to, Michelle. I spoke to Michelle again and told her I needed to modify my trust, as my husband passed away and I need to update it. She told the guardianship is what threw her off. How so? Because you didn’t ask further questions. Don’t asks questions, just assume. No condolences for the loss of my husband. She just rolled right on to grabbing my info. She asked for my name and then my email. I stoped her and asked why she was getting my information. She told me to schedule me a consult. I gave my info and then she tells me they are closed all Christmas week and gave the next availability on 1/8/24 for an in office consult. No option for a call? She responded, we can do a zoom. No call option? Little hard with a toddler. She didn’t even tell with who the appointment would be with. Just a date. Here’s a better way to speak to new client. I’d like to set you up with one of our our estate attorney, John Doe. I’m confident he can help with any questions you may have. The first date I would have available would be on 1/8. Also, really listen, to understand. Ask questions if you’re unsure. Tell people that you’re transferring them to someone, instead of hold on a minute.
I declined the consult. I felt there is something really off and my first impression was not a good one. When the first point of contact does not ask adequate questions for the needs of a new potential client, it is unprofessional. First impressions matter. How can I be sure I’m being set up with an estate attorney. Ask questions first. Make sure you understand and if you don’t, find someone to assist clients if in doubt. Then ask if the client would like to set on a consult and who the estate attorneys are. Then gather the necessary information. Don’t just ask for information first and then tell me a date for a consult. Communication is key. Client care is also a nice touch.

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.
