Jeff Myers is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who combines his background as a criminal lawyer with his healthcare expertise to offer his clients healthcare litigation expertise. Jeff has represented my company in contract matters. He has spoken at healthcare symposiums that I have attended and exhibits a very high level of knowledge regarding healthcare. He also represents two clients that I am associated with in their legal defense of their healthcare licenses. His defense of them excels as he is able to utilize his background as a criminal attorney to provide strong defenses for his clients.

Mr. Perrott represented me in a rather unusual case (and we won!). My ex sued me claiming that the dog that I had purchased while we were together was hers. Not everyone would understand the importance of a case like this, but to me, the thought of losing my dog was unbearable. Mr. Perrott was very sympathetic to this issue, and easy to work with. He was also very professional and very thorough in the way he prepared for the case, bringing relevant witnesses, including the breeder who he was able to have provide a written statement as well as testify telephonically from out of state (which didn't end up being necessary-- but he was prepared). I can't thank Mr. Perrott enough. You never want to be in a position where you have to seek the counsel an attorney, but if I am put in that situation, I would absolutely hire him again.

This Attorney and Grey Robinson are a top notch firm. When it comes to Alcohol licensing and intellectual property rights, his team was worth much more than the fee. Their communication was excellent, and his knowledge basis was one of the best I have encountered. Definite recommendation.

Neil Schect is one of the most remarkable real estate attorney's I've worked with. Having had my real estate license for decades, I've been party to transactions with dozens of lawyers, and I've rarely experienced anyone so proficient, competent, and professional. He gets the job done every time, and I've had about 100 transactions with him. Top notch.

Our attorney Ryan Maxey, got our case from his side of the house as an assignment. From our side of things getting Ryan was a stroke of luck.
A little background first.
We have been involved in a civil case spanning nearly 5 years against very wealthy defendants. A side note. If they are wealthy they will likely prevail in civil court, even if they end up paying a token. It’s about longevity in civil court and without money you don’t have it. We were naive in the belief that court was the right thing to do and the way you “should” do it.
We hired our original firm through a recommendation of a friend. Don't do that! If you are going to file or defend a lawsuit, observe. Find the attorney(s) you think you want to represent you and go watch them in court. Don’t watch once, watch several hearings, they are plentiful. Don't take a shortcut; you will know when you see the right one to represent you. The way that an attorney talks to you in the office does NOT reflect his common sense or his skill in the courtroom. Nor his most important skill, how to deal with things as they are.
It’s my opinion; the first firm we hired let us believe that we would be in and out in a year, 18 months max and that we would receive a substantial sum. They took our retainer about $30k (pretty much all we had) and told us that we should be in and out with about $80k invested. They ran up another $120k and walked out after we were mired. Before they did to their credit, helped us find "contingency" based council. (Morgan & Morgan)
We were assigned an attorney at the firm. He was busy to say the least and seem to have a lot on his plate. Hired an expert, did some depositions and then he was gone because of some personal matter. After a shuffled we got the only bright spot in the last five years with regard to our lawsuit and it was Ryan Maxey.
When we got in, we had no idea what a good attorney looked like. After shuffling through a few attorneys and ending up with Ryan, we discovered what that “should” look like.
One hard learned less was this, attorneys come up with legal theories based on the data you give them. They can interpret that data very differently one attorney to the next.
Ryan Maxey was refreshingly and sometimes painfully honest in his consultation and representation. Before Ryan took over, I felt like I received a lot of “smoke” from the earlier experienced council, I never got any from Ryan. He was genuine in and out of court and always came across that way. While he was respectful of our thoughts and “feelings” about the case, he represented us where we were. (This is important if you change attorneys.) He didn’t try to reinvent the wheel; he looked at where we were when he got us as clients. He was pragmatic and worked diligently with us to achieve an outcome he believed was in our best interest and would yield the best outcome from where we were. We agreed.
I would say without reservation, that if, (no way in hell), I ever had to go back to civil court, I would seek Ryan Maxey out FIRST. Lawyers are not my favorite people. In Ryan’s case, I’ll make an exception. If you find yourself in my shoes with regard to a civil court matter, call Ryan. Go see him in court. He’s really good. My sincerest thanks to Ryan and his firm for their efforts on our behalf.

I contacted Sean (and Mike) to assist me on a business lawsuit for which I was being deposed in 6 days. We spent over an hour discussing my case. Sean was very knowledgable on the deposition process and how we should proceed. Having never been deposed, I was quite nervous before speaking with Sean and Mike. They put me at ease and assured me that they would be there to represent me and my business partner so that we presented our case succinctly and accurately to the deposing attorney. The deposition went smoothly and we were done in less than 90 minutes due to being so well prepared. Their flat rate was more than reasonable while the service was extraordinary. If you need a business lawyer in Tampa, you only need to call StantonCronin.

So, my case had to go into litigation and we needed to respond to discovery from the defendants. Spoke with Hannah who was both knowledgeable about the process and answered all my questions. I dealt with Lizzette during the pre-litigation phase and she was great. She helped with all the in's and out's of my medical bills, PIP and answered my questions as well. Scott is my attorney and is always available when I call or calls me right back the same day. Would "highly" recommend Mickey and his staff to anyone needing an attorney.

I had a free consultation with Jason today. He gave a bunch of great advice, laid out the next steps to put my plan into motion, and gave me a bunch of knowledge on how to start building my “empire”. He is very down to earth and is looking to build great relationships with clients, rather than profiting as much as he could. I’m very grateful to have a gentleman like Jason in my corner!

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.
