I personally didn’t use Matt but my niece did and without getting the judge’s ruling yet I can still say he’s an amazing hardworking invested atty. He took on a high conflict case with a few days to prepare and he killed it. He knows what he’s doing and he is, without a doubt, built for this. I highly recommend him because no matter how her case turns out he did everything possible with very little time. I’m truly amazed how he handled her case.

I am writing to express my highest recommendation of Attorney Matt Schultz. When Matt took over my divorce case, the proceedings had been dragging on for almost a year with bare minimum progress under my prior representation. From our first meeting, he demonstrated his strong advocacy and skill as he got up to speed on the intricate details of my case. He took the time to answer all my questions and talk to me throughout it all. Matt was super helpful in explaining everything clearly, so I understood what was happening. In the few short months, he navigated the legal complexities efficiently and professionally. I was impressed by his dedication, strategic approach and ability to cut through red tape. Thanks to his leadership, I was finally able to resolve my divorce in a timely manner. Dealing with divorce is tough enough emotionally, so it really meant a lot to have someone as on top of it as Matt in my corner. He brought tremendous value as my counsel. I am sincerely grateful for his assistance during this difficult personal matter.

Matt listened attentively, explained complex legal matters clearly, and navigated my case with precision. His dedication, responsiveness, and commitment to an amicable resolution set them apart. I highly recommend Matt for anyone in need of a divorce attorney who not only excels in the legal realm but also prioritizes their clients' well-being.

WORST ATTORNEY EVER!!!!! We hired Sean to take a prior written litigation claim and put his Firm's name on it and get the process immediately started in the courts. 3 months later and 15k of expenses, he finally got around to file the court papers. He stated he had to do a complete investigation and that was total 1000% BS. Stay away. He stole money from us!!!!

I trusted this attorney because he TOLD me he knew what he was doing. He told me that I was right, and that my case had merit. I asked multiple times for an explanation of WHY he thought this would go to superior court in my favor and I never received an answer. The judge ruled, I lost. Still, no return call from Patrick. I thhink he presented himself as too experienced, and therefore I trusted him for my case. He should have told me he knew very little about how the superior court worked. I did almost all of the paperwork myself. My papers were to be delivered to my daughter. He mailed them certified, she never got them---she isn;t stupd, she wasn't going to the post office and sign for the legal papers she knew were coming. I PAID a process server. The only communication I have received lately was a few days ago---"the billing cycle is ending, are you going to pay?" no comment about my request. I sent my check out that day to the adress listed online for the office. It came back to my home saying "NO business at this address. I cannot figure him out. I am not a confrontational woman, I wish he would have told me at the start that he was inexperienced and I should look elsewhere, I now need that money to do what my next step is--AT THE SELF HELP DESK WHERE I KNOW THINGS WILL GET DONE. So very unfair. I trusted him.

She promised to do several things for my case, and consumed a lot of my time and resources waiting for her to complete fulfill her promises. Some as simple as sending an email. In the end, she did nothing she promised delaying my ability to find an honest, ethical and morally sound an attorney. Save yourself time and resources and stay away from het.

Prior to contacting Mr. Reynolds, I tried to contact a few other attorneys. They would not give me the time of day on a issue, probably minor to them, evidently, but important to me. Ms. Reynolds took the time to listen and respond promptly. Not only was she professional but it also showed that she has a great heart. I will have no hesitation in recommending Ms. Reynolds to anyone seeking legal help in her area of specialization.

Hired Marc by default only to be insulted and and treated very rudely. After going to work he continued to increase his fees and insults he worked harder in finding ways to charge me more then he would on my case. He would only return my calls when he felt like it. I would give him the information he requested only for him to confuse and mix-up the information then complain about having to do the work. finally imputing your information given to him incorrectly and charging me almost double what I was originally quoted. yet he complained about everything. Then after charging me double and making the entire event more difficult he quit halfway through and charged me a highly inflated amount. I still had to hire another attorney to finish the case and do damage control. Do yourself a favor and hire a competent attorney one that doesn’t blame you for all of his mistakes.

I did follow protocol as close as possible and completely gave it my all as well. Marc did not disappoint in ensuring that 100% of my hard work paid off. The previous statement says he's a beast in the court room and I very much agree. He will always keep his clients best interest as priority too. Absolutely amazing! Jenna Lockard

Thomas Murphy is a clever orator, he knows how to convince and effectively influence others to win and get his way, unfortunately ethics and the concept of right and wrong conduct do not enter the equation. He can manipulate and outmaneuver other people and appear to win an argument but it is all a sham, an illusion, a word spell cast on our minds but most people can't see it for what it is. He believes his own bullshit and spreads lies as if they were truth because he has no correct, solid, firmly grounded foundation in truth and morality. One might opine that these are merely the tools of a professional lawyer and that they are utilized to promote success and survival within our legal system but it is my own personal opinion that when we hand ourselves over to this evil power we let it use us. There is a universal greater than ourselves and any other person and when we choose to manipulate the truth based on personal motivation and gain we remain ignorant of these negative inner capacities and the outer ramifications. I cannot in good conscience recommend this attorney on any level, to do so would be conformity with fallacy rather than the substantive truth and good. He made claim that a conclusion was false without benefit of looking into it honestly, without curiosity, critical thinking or an objective detachment and as a result innocent children were harmed. To me this demonstrated that his logic is not real logic but instead only rhetoric. He chose to ignore the truth and sidetrack the issue because his primary focus was on the presentation, appearance and receptivity of his message instead of putting value in the truth first. I got lost in wasted time trying to convince Thomas Murphy that the truth speaks for itself, instead he lead me down a twisted winding road in an attempt to convince me of his deluded concept of justice. Inevitably it is my own fault for not looking more extensively into his background and history of issues with prior probate clients but I was in a state of duress at the time, hopefully others will be encouraged to investigate more fully and avoid the same pitfalls.

Tom has had 8 complaints filed with the AZ Bar in the last three years (after 3 years, complaints are expunged). All were dismissed by the Bar, including ours. We ended up going to another attorney to successfully complete our estate settlement. Our concerns included commitments made and not kept, and poor communication with us and opposing counsel.

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
