These people will be just as nice as can be until they start receiving money. They will promise you the world and not even attempt to fulfill any of their promises. I hired Mr. Harrison in November and I opted to make monthly payments so I could see if they were going to make good on any of their promises. I was told since I live over 500 miles away they would do what they can to get me to be able to do pretrial drug tests where I live and would try to get the order on pretrial that I cannot be in contact with my husband lifted seeing he wasn’t pressing any charges. None of this was even attempted on their end. I made a call in December to make a payment and Tammy wasn’t in the office the day I called and I never heard back from her. Finally, got a call the other day and she was wanting a payment so I tried to call to make the payment today and my credit card supposedly kept declining even though my credit company said they didn’t see any attempts to run the card on their end. When I tried to explain to Tammy this, she kept telling me that they needed that payment, they needed that payment. I told her I tried to pay last month and this is what I have to pay with. I tried telling her that I keep having to drive back and forth to Tyler which is getting expensive and her response was that they were trying to get everything dropped. She said to me on the phone, “well what’s your pretrial officers name so I can contact her so you don’t have to worry about going”. I explained to her that my officer told me repeatedly that I have to show up even if I drug tested somewhere else to report. I also told Tammy that this was supposed to be done from the get go and I’ve already had to make a couple trips since. Any time I tried to ask questions I was given sighs and rudely interrupted and she only had time to try to get more money out of me. I had a good first impression but past that point was totally opposite. It was bad enough that I had to tell her that I didn’t like her attitude and to let me know who I need to contact and that I’ll just represent myself on this matter since I’m already $1250 out. I’m still waiting for that call back on that information, which I’m sure I’ll never receive. Maybe that’s the name of their game, collect payment in hopes they won’t have to deal with their clients anymore. All I can say is listen to their other bad reviews and seek someone else. Mr. Harrison was alright from what few minutes I visited with him, but you don’t deal with him, you deal with a flustered Tammy who is his paralegal and I highly do not recommend her. Beware!

Carlo D’Angelo provided outstanding support during a stressful pre-indictment case. He acted professionally, ensured his client didn’t speak with investigators, presented crucial evidence, and worked diligently to prevent any charges from being filed. His expertise and proactive approach made all the difference. Highly recommend!

*writing from my friend’s pov* I have had a horrible experience, I obtained him as a legal adviser. I paid over $6k for his services were making payments and he would constantly contact me to remind me of my payment, or when the payment was due. Once I finished paying everything off, it has been nothing but radio silence from him and his secretary. I do not recommend him at all, all he does is scam and ghost you once you finish paying.

If you need to get a Visa, do not go see Ha. She Is unbelievably unequipped to do the job as she does not understand the process or even know the process. Her lack of communication and her aggressiveness is very concerning. She was more worried about getting her final payment. Even though she had never completed the job. Then she was actually giving sound advice. She has devastated and ruined our family due to her incompetence and misinformation and even when we reached out to try and bring this to light she is now replied to Email with lies saying things that are simply not true that we have proof of do not trust her

I first make contact with this law firm back in July and spoke to Linda Pesnell, Legal Assistant of William D. Farrar. Spoke about my potential case I explained the details and she asked me to send over a contract for review. I haven't heard from her for about maybe a couple of weeks so I decide to call it back to get an update she laughed and joked and said yeah you know Mr Farrar will review the case and get back to me. I sent a few emails that's a few messages. She returned my phone call and told me she is so sorry she put the file on his desk but he's just been not paying attention and that she would follow up and reassured me that someone will contact me. Well, several weeks passed and again I sent emails and plus messages. However I did not receive a phone call so I left another message and send some additional emails and then after several more weeks I get a call and she says oh I'm so sorry I will celebrating my birthday so I couldn't get back to you in a timely matter I will let Mr Farrar know. After another couple of weeks I hear nothing so I left a message and send emails. Then she calls me and says oh we apologize but Mr f a r r a r will be unable to take your case. So I asked, out of the inconvenience of me waiting almost 2 months could you please find someone for me or refer me to another attorney. She said okay and I never heard from her since. Completely unprofessional I would highly advise that you do not use their services.

Lo and behold no answer no call would I recommend him as your attorney NO !

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:
-
What is your experience with businesses like mine?
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. -
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. -
How do you handle conflicts of interest?
Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business. -
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.
