Got a great insight regarding my issue with my HOA through a phone consult with Mr Healy. Mr. Healy typically work for HOA's, but with me being on the other side it gave me great insight into what the HOA is also trying to do when in a dispute with residents. He also provided great insight into some of the facts of my case and the legal ramifications. Although I did not hire him due to the immediacy of may case and geographic proximity, I found him honest and highly knowledgeable regarding situations similar to mine.

A bit of background - not to boast, just saying ...
I am from Canada and older, so I know quite a bit about America. As well, I have a college degree. So ... I thought when completing the online questions applying for citizenship, that I responded clearly (and honestly, etc.). I took my copy to Iglesias Law just to make sure (because confusion on an application is not what you want).
David Iglesias was personable and open (only time we met) while we visited, before meeting Sonia Jurado, who was to advise me. Although my effort was 'good enough', Sonia noticed a couple of changes that made it perfect. As well, she provided tips and info on what to add in terms of community participation and 'really living here' proof.
My application was received by Immigration on Oct. 14; I had an in-person interview on Dec. 4! (Your mileage may vary.) My USCIS notice/invitation for the swearing-in ceremony is apparently in the mail already. Whoo-hoo!
My Iglesias Law consultation was comfortable, easy, useful, and worth it, worth it.
Thanks so much for having your expertise, and helping me be less anxious about the outcome.

To my great satisfaction, Ms. Kay Caserta did a marvelous job in successfully negotiating and finalizing an oil and gas and mineral lease on my behalf, relating to these resources in a fairly large tract of land in Texas. Ms. Caserta's knowledge and experience in these complex matters surpassed my greatest expectations, and I believe her lawyer abilities in oil, gas and minerals were supplemented by her past services as a landman. Ms. Caserta was very courteous, highly communicative, and her prices for professional fees and services were very reasonable. And most assuredly I am grateful to Avvo's Website where I found out about this remarkable oil and gas attorney.

Matthew Hancock represented us in a personal injury case . There were several Defendant's involved with the case. Mat went out of his way to keep us informed with the case. He would travel to our office to look at and review the documentation we had for the case, after review he would make the copies himself. Any thing inconvenient we needed to do Mat was always willing to help us with. The staff at the Parker Firm is professional and enjoyable. Awesome attorney and law office.

“It doesn’t cost you anything to see if we can help!” When I say those words are so true, BELIEVE ME. Not only did I not have to come out of pocket, but they went above and beyond for my family and I! Im a first timer and let me just say I’m beyond blessed to have had this team working so hard like they did for my family and I! Every time i called, they answered. When I had questions, they had the answers. I started off with a lady named Rachel and I absolutely loved her from the beginning! The rest of the team that I got to meet was all so welcoming and kind as well. I am big on kindness and how people make me feel and honestly I could not have asked for better! Thank you all so much for making the process smooth, easy and worth it! If I ever need you guys again, I know you’re only a phone call away. May God continue to bless y’all’s business and team!✝️❤️

"I had the privilege of working with Matt Flanery after a car accident in 2020 that was no fault of my own. From the very beginning, Matt was exceptional. He guided me through every step of the process, from dealing with my totaled car and navigating overwhelming hospital and doctor’s bills to addressing the inadequate settlement offered by my insurance company.
Matt not only provided clear and compassionate counsel but also connected me with local physicians who helped manage my pain. He worked tirelessly to ensure my needs were met and to recover my losses and secure coverage for future treatments.
Thanks to Matt’s expertise and dedication, I felt supported throughout the entire ordeal. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate during such a challenging time. I highly recommend Matt Flanery to anyone in need of a skilled and caring attorney."

Her paralegal, Cathy Dabdub, was absolutely amazing—attentive, sweet, caring, and incredibly thorough. She kept everything on track and made sure I felt confident in every step of the process.
Additionally, Fritz Hager, Sarina’s husband and fellow attorney, was incredibly supportive and helpful, offering guidance that made a tough situation feel much more manageable.

I normally don't leave reviews, but in this case it was warranted. I shopped around for a few weeks and contacted several lawyers in order to obtain legal assistance with my situation.
Several of the lawyers stated it would be a very "complex" case which only served to further heighten my anxiety about getting it resolved. Without going into too much detail, my issue concerned a property that my ex-wife and I had purchased, that was now going to be foreclosed on (even though my ex had agreed to be responsible for the payments, I was still going to suffer the consequences), not to mention my ex is someone that isn't easy to deal with in any manner.
I set up a consult and dealt with Rachael directly, we spoke about the particulars of the case, and I decided to employ the services of her and her team.
Rachael and her team were communicative, professional, and friendly from the beginning to the end of the process. My situation, surprisingly, was handled efficiently and in a manner that was very satisfactory. My foreclosure was halted, and I will be obtaining the property in question.
I am completely happy with the service I received from Rachael and her office, and I would recommend them to anyone that thinks they are in a tough spot.
My heartfelt thanks to Rachael and team, I truly do appreciate the work that you all accomplished on my behalf.
Best regards,
Anthony

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.
