My father passed away without a will. Further complicating the situation is that he owned a property in Arizona and I live in Minnesota. Mike flawlessly executed the work I needed done. He was awesome in his follow up and attention to detail and made sure I was comfortable with the process. I would definitely recommend Mike for your legal needs.

Adam Weisman called me as soon as he received my request for a consultation. After I reviewed my issue and gave him all the information, he immediately went to work. He gave me my options which I chose to hire him to represent me. Her drafted a letter for my approval, forwarded it. The letter was quite specific and he reviewed the laws in respect to my case. I can happily say the case was closed without having to go to court or without any follow up. He did an awesome job and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs assistance in his area of expertise. Should any occasion occur in the future I would definitely contact him even if it would be for a referral to another type of attorney. Great job Adam!!!

Dr. Anaise helped with my VA medical claim for obstructive sleep apnea after I found him through hours of online research and comparison. I could tell by the reviews that I was making the best choice for me…and now I absolutely know I did! I contacted him through his online portal and I was contacted the very next business day. The email was detailed with regards to his opinion regarding my case, information that was needed from me, cost for his service, and the timeline. Unfortunately, not sure why, but I hesitated. Big mistake! When I finally sent my information about a month later, there was constant communication. I not only received my IMO when I was told I would receive it, but it very detailed! I’m no medical expert, but after reading through it, I just knew I made the best choice! After I reviewed it, it was then finalized by Dr. Anaise and emailed back to me the very next day. The hard copy was also mailed out two days later! The promptness of Dr. Anaise and Dr. Benham cannot be denied! The only delay in this entire process was when I waited to submit my information to him! I was granted 100% VA disability (less than two months later). The information from Dr. Anaise was clear, service was prompt, and quality was exceptional. I have already started recommending Dr. Anaise to other veterans and wish that I had found him a whole lot sooner!!!

I retained Dr. Anaise to assist me with a VA medical claim for obstructive sleep apnea after doing extensive research on field experts. Communication with his team was timely and efficient. They answered all of my questions fully, and explained everything plainly. Dr. Anaise took the time to carefully review my case before accepting it, then wrote an Independent Medical Opinion based on my military medical records. The work product I received and submitted to the VA contained irrefutable proof, research, and evidence that was overwhelming and clearly laid out. It enabled me to have my claim favorably adjudicated quickly and without additional evidence or documentation being solicited. What an absolute professional and champion for veterans rights, I could never come close to fully explaining how helpful he and his team were. I whole heartedly endorse Dr. Anaise and his team, and hope other veterans are able to use his services for successful outcomes.

I reached out to Dr. Anaise for help with an Expert Medical Opinion, and I'm truly grateful for the outstanding work he performed. Dr. Anaise's dedication to veterans is remarkable, and his attention to detail and knowledge made a real difference in the superb quality of documentation he delivered.
What really stood out to me was Dr. Anaise's deep knowledge of VA disabilities and how they affect veterans in the workforce. He used this expertise to develop an expert medical opinion that not only assessed my conditions accurately but also shed light on how they impact my ability to find work.
I highly recommend Dr. Anaise to anyone seeking a noteworthy expert medical opinion to support their VA claim. Not only was the quality exceptional but the experience of working with Dr. Anaise and Dr. Benham (his partner/associate) was phenomenal: responsive, thorough, and caring. I can’t thank them enough for the work they performed in support of my claim!

I was so nervous to claim bankruptcy - it's overwhelming, confusing, and I was worried about the social stigma attached. Both Lisa and Shanna held my hands the whole way, explained each process step by step, and were extremely kind! From beginning to end, they did all the leg work for me, explained all the nuances and realities of bankruptcy, and reassured me that the reality of bankruptcy is not quite as bleak as I had believed. Highly recommend! If you are on the fence about claiming bankruptcy, or are confused and lost as to whom you should trust to represent you during the process, I cannot recommend this team enough!

A Bankruptcy is a very challenging situation and a difficult personal decision to make. One call to Lisa Thompson and her staff and I knew I was in very capable hands. Great communication with everyone. She is highly skilled and beyond that, so very compassionate. I was guided through the process and felt very comforted all was well and that I would make it through to the other side. Lisa is a highly skilled attorney and a wonderful human being. I recommend her to anyone that needs to take this step.

Mr. Lazaro and his assistant Lori Gray are the best. When I first consulted with them I was nervous and scared, they are both kind and compassionate and put me at ease. Mr. Lazarow resolved an over $100,000 tax debt for me. I never had to interact with the IRS. I now have to pay the IRS only a little over $2000. His fees are reasonable, fair and manageable. I would highly recommend this team to anyone having any tax issues!

We used S. Lazarow for some IRS debt. The whole process is a lengthy one but we were kept in the loop the entire time. Lori his go to person was very easy to work with and made the process easier. IRS debt is a stressfull situation and they were top notch at handling it and keeping us calm while going through it. If we ever need any services again, this will be the firm we use. They also helped us with a CPA recommendation that has worked out very well also.

I went to Mr. Lazarow recently having worked with him many, many years ago. I didn't know who else to turn to. Lori Gray facilitated my opportunity to meet with him. Although I had unenviable circumstances, Mr. Lazarow treated me with dignity and professionalism. He spent time explaining a plan to work through my mess. I will forever be grateful for the time he gave me. I highly recommend him. His experience is impressive. He is an outstanding critical thinker, which everyone who needs a lawyer should look for in a tax attorney. Thank you, Mr. Lazarow and Lori Gray!

I highly recommend Jeff Brei and his law office. I hired him when I had problems with the property management company that managed my rental property. He reviewed my case within a few hours, discussed the issues with me and suggested a course of action. When I mentioned that I thought the property manager wasn’t taking me seriously, he contacted the property manager himself and took care of everything immediately. All the problems with the property management company were resolved and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Jeff is the best lawyer in Tucson. His office assistants are very friendly, helpful and respond to questions in record time.

Mark Heckele did a thorough job of creating all the legal paperwork I needed as a co-trustee to complete a purchase agreement for my mothers property. He was timely, courteous and answered all my questions. It also was far less hassle and less expensive then going through a real estate agent. Thank you Mark!

My wife and I were referred to Mark by a realtor and originally consulted with him on several occasions over the past several years concerning our rental property. We were considering letting the property go into foreclosure for a number of personal reasons. He gave us clear options for us to make an informed decision on how to proceed. We decided to stop payment on the house and let it go into foreclosure. During this process, we consulted with him again to get some clarity on issues we had with the process and he answered all questions and explained in terms that we understood how to continue. The process has taken over 2 years total, and at the beginning of this year (2017), we were served with papers from the bank that a dispute over the description of the property was in question. At this point, we hired Mark to assist with the legal aspect of the banks filing. In what seemed like a complicated issue, Mark was able to settle the issue with the bank and get us out from under the legal aspect of the case. I found Mark to be very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in our consultations and easy to work with. He exceeded all of our expectations in the final out come of our situation. Thank you Mark for all your assistance in what was a very stressful time.

I hired Mark to collect a debt owed to me. Mark went over my situation, answered my questions and explained the complete process prior to hiring him to be my lawyer. Mark methodically briefed me and kept me fully informed during the whole progression of my lawsuit and case. It was a pleasure working with Mark to resolve my claim against the people that owed money to me on a past due debt. Mark worked with me to recover this debt and worked on a fair settlement with the defendants before the case when to a trial. Unfortunately the defendants were not reasonable and the case had to be resolved by the court. Mark obtained a default judgement for me that included my legal fees and interest on the unpaid debt. I would hire Mark again as he was very straight with me through the entire progression of my case. His entire office staff was polite and pleasant to work with. I consider Mark to have utmost integrity and a being that makes him an excellent attorney. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my lawsuit. My thanks goes to Mark Heckele.

I have worked with dozens of attorneys due to the nature of previous jobs and due to personal reasons, and no one compares to Amanda. She's compassionate, knowledgable, and responds to questions in a timely manner. She doesn't only answer your questions and provides guidance, but she also empathizes with you and supports you throughout the stress that comes with navigating the court system. Having her advocate for me in a criminal case was a true blessing.

Of all the attorneys I ever worked with- this individual was one of the most helpful individuals I ever met in my life., I am a physician - I had a problem with an administration playing games that are not uncommon in Tucson. Hardy understood the problem even after my meandering attempt to explain the problem. He was able to see the problem clearly and took the appropriate steps to get the problem administration- to understand their behavior was unprofessional and was inconsistent with their own policies and procedures- and their unrealistic demands to try and get us to work several additional hours without proper compensation represents harassment. Although the same agency is still harassing their current staff- Hardy's help put the agency on notice. It allowed me and several others to escape the poor working conditions they were imposing on their entire staff. Without Hardy's help- the agency would of kept making unfair and unrealistic demands on the staff and myself. Before consulting with Hardy- the agency was ignoring its own policies and procedures - and making unfair demands at their staff. Staff who did not follow these demands were fired and threatened they agency would report this to the employees licensing board. The agency removed important protections for the workers that was written in clear language in their policy and procedures. Hardy made it clear to the agency they were in violation of their own rules. After his notification- several of us were able to successfully get out of our contracts because their demands were in clear violation of policy. When we tried to point this out to the administration before I consulted Hardy- the administration used smoke and mirrors to justify their improper demands. After Hardy made it clear that the agency was violating their own policy with their demands the administration quickly backed away from their demands and most of the staff who were effected - were able to leave the agency. If it was not for Hardy- this would never of happened- and we would of been forced to work in a hostile environment.
I recommend Hardy without any reservations- he really saved many of our staff and myself from continued harassment from the agencies medical director and her distorted use of the agencies own guidelines.

I have worked for Stephen as a paralegal and investigator on many of his cases over the past twenty years. Stephen has also represented me on three cases that I can remember. He takes cases that other attorneys are not capable of handling. He is not intimidated by bullying tactics from opposing counsel. Stephen is proficient in commercial litigation, probate, construction and real estate. He also has a working knowledge of bankruptcy, criminal, and domestic law because these specialized areas of law can filter in to his primary practice. Stephen’s ethics are of the highest caliber and he works diligently for his clients although many of them do not appreciate just how hard he works. A client will never find Stephen Gonzalez faltering, tripping or stumbling in the courtroom because is always prepared when he goes to court.

Russell Krone has represented my legal interests for over twenty years. The areas of representation have included corporate negotiations and litigation, real estate transactions, community service, and personal matters. I would recommend Russ without reservation as an attorney with the highest level of integrity, competence and fairness in billing. Over the years, I have recommended Russ to a number of business associates, colleagues and friends and have always found their experiences to be wholly positive.

I have never had the experience of dealing with a lawyer before. Russ Krone has despelled everything I had ever heard about attorneys. He stayed on top of my case, and kept me informed. He was easy to talk to and very informative of what directions I could and should take. He allowed me to make the final dicisions and what would be best for me.
Even now after it is more or less a closed case their are still some loose ends and I call Russ with whatever questions I have and still have to deal with with the my x-partner. He always answers me right away and is happy to find an answer to my problem.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by attorney Ralph Ellinwood. I was falsely accused of sexually molesting my stepdaughter and faced a potential 30-year prison sentence. From the very beginning, Mr. Ellinwood's dedication and unwavering commitment to my case were apparent. Not only did he provide me with unparalleled legal assistance, but his compassion and support throughout the process were truly remarkable. Despite being treated poorly by child protective services and the prosecutor, Mr. Ellinwood always treated me with dignity and respect as a human being.
When the prosecutor offered a plea deal, most attorneys would have jumped at the opportunity. However, Mr. Ellinwood believed that we had a strong case and that we should take it to trial. Even though he could not guarantee a favorable outcome, I knew that he was in my corner and believed in me.
After a lengthy process and rejecting several offers, the prosecutors finally dismissed the case. I cannot emphasize enough how crucial Mr. Ellinwood's expertise, dedication, and unwavering support were in achieving this outcome.
If you find yourself in a similar situation where your life is on the line, I wholeheartedly recommend attorney Ralph Ellinwood. He is not only an exceptional legal advocate but also a compassionate and understanding human being who will fight tirelessly for your rights.

Words can never express the gratitude we have for Mr. Ellinwood. He agreed to representing our Special Needs adult son who was facing 2 felony charges. Without Mr. Ellinwood's tenacity, professionalism, and belief in our son, he would have most likely received a prison sentence instead of having his case dismissed and all charges dropped. We HIGHLY recommend Mr. Ellinwood to anyone facing criminal charges.

He has a patient manner explaining things to me repeatedly if need be in turn keeping me calm and confident.

Throughout the process, Doug Zirkle covered all the possibilities in a most thorough manner. Although he is obviously well qualified in family law, he patiently explained details to me and was never condescending. Replying to my e-mail and phone inquiries in a prompt fashion, Doug was genuinely concerned that I completely understand whatever situation was discussed. At every step, he was well-prepared. Ending a forty-seven year marriage is never an easy task, but Doug’s knowledgeable and compassionate guidance was certainly appropriate and appreciated.

I called Evan Thompson to discuss a serious contractual dispute, and despite it being before hours, he took my call and the time to speak to me. I was ready to hire him and pay him, but he quickly outlined my situation from a legal standpoint, which made it obvious I needed to pursue other options for now. Clearly extremely competent in his field and unwilling to engage and take my money unless he felt he could be sincerely useful. He will be the first person I call should I need an attorney in this field.

I relied on Corey to help with a somewhat simple post-decree child support case, complicated by the military retirement system. He was on top of everything and fully understood the military pay system and military law as it pertains to family law in Arizona. Further, he quickly responded to my phone calls and to motions filed by my ex's attorney. He was fair, honest, and besides how hard, efficiently, and intelligently he worked for me, I loved that even when the opposing attorney was suspect of acting unscrupulously, he wasn't quick to judge her, but wasn't letting her off the hook, either. To me, in the world of attorneys, that showed integrity and professionalism. If you're looking for an attorney who takes a holistic approach and will work hard for you, hire Corey.

Just a very pleasant Lawyer. He is one of the good ones.

Corey was hired by me to defended a series of charges. The first charge was for several felony charges that where levied against me for a medical marijuana grow and patient cooperative that did not meet the letter of the law in compliance. After being let out on bail, a traffic stop resulted in a second set of charges by the Pima County Sheriffs department. They siezed my vehicle and charged me with 3 additional felonies. The second charges were an over charge trying to create a case or patern when one did not exist. The first resulted in a plea that ultimately was an undesignated felony that reduced to a misdemeanor after successfully completing my probation and cumminity service. The second set of charges, were ultimately fully dismissed. The Sheriffs department recharged me in different courts after each dismissal but ultimately Corey was able to get all charges dismissed once he could argue the case. Corey was there to explain what was happening and arguing hard for me. He took a very unpleasnt experience and got me a great resolution to a horrible situation. I highly recommend him.

Richard has handled 4-6 legal matters for me, one of a serious and protracted nature. He certainly cares for his clients and ethically pursues the best possible outcome, but is unafraid to throw down the gloves and fight when necessary. He kept me well-informed, I understood all may options and he received my input thoughtfully. His background as a professional engineer and a long-time businessman with an MBA, gives him a well-roundedness that is not always seen among lawyers. Finally, having learned the specifics of his so-called "disciplinary record," what Richard did was 100% commendable because he gave a voice to a juvenile client who was counting on him and whom no one else would help. He was the only one in "the system" to reach this young man and he put his client's rights above a judge's bogus order. Well done, Richard!

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.

- 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.

Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer
Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:

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. -

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.
