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 consulted with Hardy when I lost my bid for tenure with my university. He helped me navigate the detailed faculty handbook, and explained the meaning of due process violation in the constitution and in practice. I could not have done it without his guidance navigating the intricacies of the law.

This truly has to be the BEST criminal defense attorney association in Tucson Arizona hands down. THE FEDERAL KING IS KATSERELLIS LAW! I hired Kat on day 1 after a free consultation and he devoted so many hours of his time to me and I was able to go over my entire case with him and explain to him how the previous attorney I have was neglecting me and not willing to cooperate with me on anything within the interest I found best fit for my case with my brother. so within 48 hours I had an answer on a Plea, within 9 days got a plea agreement, within 1.5 Months with Kat’s word given was able to get me to court to begin the process to finish my case, and in under 90 days was able to successfully execute and close out a 6 month incarceration that was potentially looking at 33-41 months maximum. Kat is the most well respected individual, COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY TO HIS ATTENTIVENESS and he is ALWAYS ON CALL 24-7! Kat has THE MOST KIND HEARTED paralegal that works with him and her name is Jasmine. She was always on call and answering me any time I needed her to. Jasmine is so organized with coordinating anything Kat needed throughout my case and the best part is their a dynamic duo and were able to dominate my case for me and make sure we all were successful within the outcome. Kat and Jasmine know how to be patient when it came to any emotions that got in the way throughout this case because of how difficult our prosecutor was. Every single time I texted or called one of them answered. They always emailed me anything I asked for, and never once did they say No to me. I always was given anything I needed from the both of them. Truly I thank them from the bottom of my heart for executing this case and helping save my brothers life. Kat and Jasmine both helped get my brothers life back and help me get my life back on track with so much support because they knew how difficult it was for me to balance an incarcerated brother while also having to be on the outside free world and make sure he was okay at the same time. I told Kat that a miracle would happen at our sentencing and that’s exactly what happened, a time served miracle thanks to Kat! The level of intelligent, integrity, loyalty, respect, and authentic work ethic that this man has is BEYOND BEAUTIFUL. KATSERELLIS LAW FIRM IS THE BEST LAW FIRM IN TUCSON ARIZONA! God forbid if anything ever happens again, Kat is on speed dial and will be retained immediately. I trust him with my entire life till the death of me. God bless this law firm for everything they did to save my families life.

I met attorney Kevin Kinghorn and his team at a very difficult time following the sudden death of my father and the death of my mother shortly thereafter. Kevin and paralegal Amber Kirkley were kind, patient and professional in the administration of my parents' estate. They worked closely with me for over two years to ensure everything was done properly. I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of my family in a very stressful time. I highly recommend Kevin Kinghorn.

My father had a trust with Kinghorn Law and after his passing, I became the Trustee. I retained Kevin's firm to do the Trust Administration and worked with Amber from their office. Amber was able to resolve all of the issues dealing with Canadian investments, Treasury Direct, creditor notices and many other items. She is also creating beneficiary trusts for the survivors and taking care of all paperwork. It has been a difficult process in dealing with the loss of a parent but Kinghorn Law has been there to assist in every aspect of the entire process. I would highly recommend them for any type of Family Law needs.

I was new to the world of estate planning until my husband and I got a trust with Kinghorn. I can say with all honesty, it was the best thing we've ever done! If anyone wants to know more about estate planning, Kinghorn Law has to be at the top of the list. They are extremely helpful, answer any question thoroughly, and treat clients with genuine appreciation. If you're looking for a good estate planner, as well as financial services, consider reaching out to this exceptionally professional company. You won't regret it.

After more than five years of representing myself in the VA appeal system, I found Dr. Anaise purely by chance one day by looking for VA attorneys who had experience in preparing IMOs and appeals. Was I ever lucky to have found him. After he carefully reviewed my case and medical records, he agreed to represent me just before I completed my last C&P exam. If you are lucky enough to have him represent you, you are off to an excellent start and I found his work, and that of his associate Sharon, impeccable. Dr. Anaise is a great attorney and the best you can find. He certainly delivered on my case and I was fortunate to be represented by him.

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 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.

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!

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.

Early in the morning I get a phone call from my son and he’s panicked telling me he’s been involved in a shooting, for which he was eventually arrested and charge for 2nd degree murder. My wife and I immediately began searching for a criminal attorney and upon recommendation we phoned the law office of Hernandez & Hamilton. After a brief telephone conversation with Josh Hamilton we believed we had found the right attorney for our son. This would then begin what would become a 39 month long legal defense and eventual trial resulting in an acquittal. This being due to Josh Hamilton having relentlessly searched for and found every piece of evidence, securing expert testimony, and appealing twice to the Arizona Supreme Court. And during all of those long months, from beginning to end Josh Hamilton and his team at Hernandez & Hamilton had literally made our sons “fight their fight.” We believe as a family that we were truly blessed that our son was able to have been represented by such a great amount of expertise in criminal law. So it is our family’s sincere honor to recommend Hernandez & Hamilton for your criminal defense.

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.

Mr. Spanier is an exceptionally skilled attorney who goes above and beyond in providing personalized, top-tier legal services. He consistently makes himself available to his clients and offers unwavering support throughout even the most complex situations. My husband faced a particularly challenging case involving his ex-wife, and Zac expertly guided us through every twist and turn. What sets him apart is his genuine empathy and commitment to understanding his clients’ unique circumstances. He is transparent about all available options, providing a clear breakdown of potential costs, ensuring we never pursued paths that were financially unfeasible. Zac’s dedication and professionalism made a difficult process much more manageable, and we are incredibly grateful for his expertise.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
