Drew was very helpful in processing my case. I had been charged with a DUI, substance, and reckless driving. He was very informative on the possible outcomes and predictions of where the case would go. After receiving the results Drew quickly knew the best method for a beneficial result. He got them initially to drop all charges except for reckless driving. He recommended we not plead on that charge. Within an hour of the initial deal Drew returned with a full dismissal. All charges were dropped and there will be no history of this on my record. I highly recommend his services.

Attorney Plunk came into what should have been a slam dunk case dismissal and ran into a different DA that seemed to be unwilling to go by what had been stated by previous DA. Not only did Mr. Plunk keep me informed but he also tracked down the original DA and got all my charges dropped. Thank you for going the extra mile and going and finding the original DA and get this taken care of for me in one day. I was facing some pretty serious charges and I am so thankful to the entire firm!!

I had a seemingly complex situation with regards to a real estate transaction. Carl was able to break the deal down and explain every part of it to me and he was able to find solutions to get it closed. I would highly recommend Carl's services.

Carl went above and beyond to not only accommodate an earlier closing for us, but explained all our questions well and in a timely manner. Would highly recommend and we will use him again for future deals.

Malcolm represented me in a consumer protection case in mid 2015. He was very understandable and listened to my concerns carefully and gave the most honest recommendations including- the best or worse possible outcomes from the case. He did not pressure me to make any decisions, rather would advice and give me enough time to make my own decisions in accordance to what I was comfortable with. His communication skills were excellent. He literally informed me about every new finding and details about the case as soon as he can- through email, text or phone call. If Malcolm were running late for a meeting, he would call and inform me about it and even give the reason as to why he is late. Malcolm is kind. For services that I could not afford, he referred me to the Memphis Area Legal Organization to aid me with some form of assistance. He also provided me with invoice documentation of every cost of his excellent services. Prior to my case, his good heart was also shown when he donated his car to benefit an organization I was working for as an intern- the Church Health Center, a clinic providing coverage for the working uninsured poor in Memphis. He is a fast thinker, calculates his opponents’ thoughts wisely and makes a smart moves based on that. Due to his demands, the company I was suing was willing to drop the case even before heading to court and reimbursed me with enough money to recover my property. And with wonderful twists to the story, it was also featured on the commercial appeal newspaper. Malcolm is an excellent lawyer. I would highly recommend him for all your legal services matters.

Mr. Futhey has helped our company and personally on many occasions. His response time and willingness to take care of our problems is A-Plus. I recommend him to anyone needing his services.

Mr. Dale provided excellent leadership in helping me determine exactly how my trust should be set up. He brought up several issues I had not considered and helped me navigate through them to my satisfaction. He was quite thorough and when I left the office, I felt a sense of relief that my trust had been defined in the absolute best way possible.

My experience with Meridian Law, specifically Mr. Eric Lyons, was absolutely excellent from start to finish. They are both superb professionals and people, and their vast expertise can only be matched by their prompt service and deep compassion for their clients. I came to Eric after one of the worst experiences of my life that found me in a very dire situation, to no fault of my own, and he both stopped everything to help me effectively and quickly find recourse and relief. On top of that, he gave me a tremendous value to their service since I was in a tough financial position because of the situation. I am eternally grateful to Eric and his firm, and I would recommend them FIRST to any loved one. Do yourself a favor and go to Meridian Law.

Eric helped me resolve an unpaid promissory note while I was living out of state. He did this without having to go to court and getting me the absolute best outcome possible. He was a pleasure to work with and easy to get ahold of. I highly recommend!

The best thing that could have happened when I needed a lawyer was to hire Attorney LaGrone. I was in need of representation in order to be appointed conservator for my Mom who had alzheimers. Attorney LaGrone quickly got the process started; assisted with the necessary paperwork, answered questions I had, and kept me informed throughout the process, even after conservatorship was granted. Another positive experience was with Attorney LaGrone's secretary, Shanti. She was very helpful, cordial, and made me feel extremely comfortable discussing issues. I highly recommend Attorney LaGrone and her experienced team to anyone who is looking for dedication and great service.

Luke recently helped us acquire another carpet cleaning company at the end of the year. He was very thorough with his initial questions to make sure this was a good situation for us. His communication during the entire process was very much appreciated and the signing of documents and explanation of paperwork was seamless. Thank you for making that experience so easy for us.

Nicole was very down to earth and easy to deal with. She did not talk down to me and explained to me what to expect and why. It was nice to have a good lawyer and not some pompass lawyer to handle my case as has happened in the past.

Great lawyer. Very friendly, and most importantly very honest - in my case he was very upfront at all points about what he thought our odds were, and gave excellent advice that made it clear that he had my best interests in mind, and wasn't trying to get extra billable hours. If I ever need to hire a business lawyer in Tennessee again, he would 100% be my first call.

Ms. Johnson is a compassionate, competent, dependable, and persistent attorney that will make you feel as if your business is sincerely appreciated. I have never known a lawyer that would communicate with me as well as she did. I was never in the dark and she was tenacious when it came to getting what we were after. I would HIGHLY recommend Ms. Johnson to anyone in need of a quality defense attorney.

10 Aug, 2014 by Harry b. paile

Ms. Johnson is in my opinion one of the best lawyers I have ever had. I was involved in a horrific car accident that was initially deemed my fault. I was the victim of a "stopping short" scam. Without any witnesses to support this claim I thought there would be no way i could prove it. Ms. Johnson was able to bring in the right people that could prove my case. She was extremely thorough and sympathetic to my situation. When I realized she had only been a lawyer for just over a year, I couldn't believe it. She was a complete professional and I would recommend her for ANY case. Not to mention she has Bryan Lewis as her mentor, who is one of the best known Criminal and personal injury lawyers in the area. Ms. Johnson will soon be a household name her self if she represents future clients the way she did me.

I've had an embarrassing number of times dealing with attorneys. Geoffrey was a breath of fresh air. He had integrity unlike the other attorney's I've encountered. He was profession, honest, compassionate, and understanding concerning my divorce, as well as the results were better for me than I had expected. I would highly recommend Geoffrey to represent anyone needing quality legal counsel.

01 Oct, 2014 by Troy

I called many lawyers and left many messages in regards to a workers comp. for my elderly mom and none of them had bothered to call me back over a week. I then called Mr. Coston's office and spoke with a very nice lady by the name of Lisa who then put me directly thru to Mr. Coston who introduced himself just as Geoff and not Mr. Coston. He seemed really "down to earth" and did not come off as an arogant attorney like others I have dealt with. I explained my situation to Geoff and he listened carefully and told me he would give me free advice to possibly avoid having to even get an attorney. He then took the time to explain everything and answered all my questions. He took time and never rushed me. He gave a lot of free advice. I have never had an attorney do that. And he had a great since of humor too. If I can't get my situation resolved in the next few days on my own then I will definitely be calling Mr. Geoff Coston. He is very personable, polite, smart and tries to save you time and money right from the start.

I used Joshua's services after the passing of my dad. His estate had no will and there were many aspects of the entire process that my family and I would have had a terrible time managing without Josh. josh walked us through every step of the process which took a huge burden off of my family.

20 Mar, 2015 by John

I have had pleasing results with Mr. Jenkins thus far in what I considered a straightforward breach of contract case made difficult and complex by a previous lawyer. Joshua accomplished within a few short months what the past counsel failed to achieve in 17 months. Joshua has consistently shown an uncommon enthusiasm and attentive ear to my needs and issues unlike what I found through the years past. My emails are answered many times within minutes and seldom beyond a day. My most recent case has put a heavy financial burden upon me and had also affected my child and family as a result. Joshua understood this and has shown his heart is in the same place as mine. Not to get into particulars but it involved not being paid nearly twenty thousand dollars by a Rutherford County TN contractor for services provided in 2012. To some twenty k is trivial but to many it's a lot of money and crated a severe financial setback for me. Due to financial restraints I represented myself in the beginning which resulted in the chancellor ordering the contractor to post a twenty thousand cash bond within eight days with the court to protect my financial interest until my case was resolved. Upon the contractor going into contempt I called several lawyers and experienced everything from arrogance to unaffordable upfront retainers. After thirty calls and leaving a few voicemails a lawyer returned my call offering to work for contingency. He waited 4 months to file a motion. As a result the contempt charge was dismissed as was the bond requirement by the defendant. Over the next six months I had to call to get informed and received lip service As a result I bought a law library ranging from contract law, effective advocacy federal rules of evidence to books filled with case law and precedent. After reading ten thousand two hundred pages to find eighty nine pages that pertained to my needs I effectively made it known I had two ineffective ambulance chasers representing me. After successful separation from counsel I was referred to Joshua Jenkins and his firm. I can give a very strong and enthusiastic nudge to anyone seeking effective and professional counsel to use Mr. Joshua Jenkins. He will be there for you.

Trip does what we expect, in the specified time, and for the agreed compensation. Perhaps, this comes from our clearly defined scope and long successful history. Or, perhaps it is just because he is good at what he does. He has reprensented me, my architectural practice and my family since the 1990's in contractual issues, adoption, and real estate. Although we met socially, and our families share common interests, he knows the line between personal and professional, public and private. One doesn't realize the value of this until you need it. And, when you need it, such professional service is priceless.

18 May, 2009 by Anonymous

We have worked with Sawnie (also known as Trip) for nearly a decade. He has worked on record label contracts, movie production contracts, and television production contracts with our company. We've always felt that he gave each situation serious consideration, and was forthcoming with thorough communication as the agreement/contract was being constructed or negotiated. We would highly recommend his professional capabilities, as well as his personable manner of communicating.

The most integrity I've ever seen in a lawyer! Mr Cobble was ready to fight my case to the end regardless of the outcome even when he was extremly busy with other cases. I have never seen a lawyer with such dedication and understanding (and i have been a client to many) I actually will miss working with him and his staff as they have been so generous to me. Also his rates where great as well. I would highly recommend him! He truly believes in justice fairness and honesty we need more lawyers like him (and people) in this world! Mr.Cobble and his staff where able to handle my case in a quick and timely manner and my desired outcome was always his interest even when it ment him making less. A special thanks to him and his staff :)

Top-notch attorney. Great staff. All are dedicated and committed to the case. Attorney is very busy, so I wasn't always called regularly about my case, but the office was very responsive when I called for information. Highly recommended office.

My firm has been associated with Mr. Dickenson since 1985. I have personally dealt with him since 1991. He represents us in several areas related to Credit Union operations including Collections, Bankruptcy, foreclosure, contract review and extensive legal research. His primary role as our attorney has been representation in foreclosure and bankruptcy matters. He not only has extensive knowledge of the bankruptcy code and case law, he has a pristine reputation with the local Federal court system. He also has the respect of other law practitioners, both debtor and creditor slanted, which is extremely valuable when dealing with potentially contentious cases. On many occasions, I feel certain that other attorneys have decided that if Mr. Dickenson feels strongly enough about a case to let them know our position is to litigate if not resolved, they often resolve the case instead of facing him in a trial situation. In a trial environment or a deposition, his demeanor is one of someone organized and confident. He is not cocky or blustery, but is polished and authentic. This demeanor has served him well. He never talks down to the other parties in a case, but always right at them. He can be intimidating by his demeanor, but only due to his mannerisms. When on a break in depositions or trials, he is very polite and personable to the opposing parties. When it is time to talk under oath, he is very thorough and straight forward. As to foreclosures, he is completely knowledgeable in the statutes covering all the nuances of statutory and case law. On more than one occasion, a situation has arisen that scared me when a person of interest would raise an issue I was unfamiliar with only to find out Mr. Dickenson had addressed during the process. One case in particular involved an IRS lien. An agent went after me for not providing a certain notification to the IRS. I found out Mr. Dickenson had taken care of it properly during the foreclosure process. In summary, the fact that I have many choices and have still elected to use Mr. Dickenson for 24 years is a testament to the respect my company and I personally have for him. It is always satisfying to hear the relief a good attorney has when learning we are represented by him, and the sigh of resignation when a not-so-good attorney learns who represents us. While not obtaining total perfection in every issue for 24 years, he has more than exceeded my expectations and there are no plans to change. His rates are very fair, and he actually picks up the phone when called if he is in the office. His integrity is also without question which is very important to my firm and myself. I highly recommend Tom Dickenson for competent representation. While specializing in bankruptcy and foreclosure, he is well versed in many areas of the law and will only take cases that he believes are ethical and worthy. An individual or organization needing a good attorney, especially in bankruptcy, foreclosure, or contract matters cannot go wrong in choosing Mr. Dickenson.

14 Oct, 2015 by Ron

I have retained MR. Dickenson's services several times over the last 15+ years. I have always trusted his judgment and knowledge of his profession. I would recommend highly.

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:

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.
