My company was contacted by a private equity firm who made an unsolicited, written offer for our company. It was a fair price, offered at a time my partner was looking to retire. Our business lawyer recommended Brent Hawkins to represent us through the acquisition. Brent was very expert and insightful and helped negotiate a better agreement and price than had been initially proposed. We’re satisfied nothing was left undone and that we were well represented.

My husband and I found Chip very professional, but also easy to talk to. He listened and then shared his thoughts in a way we could understand. I appreciated his no-nonsense approach, giving us our options straight, and also making sure we understood before we decided which path to take.
I would recommend Chip!

I highly recommend Brad Rice as an attorney, he is knowledgeable, ethical, pleasant to work with and thinks outside the box. He has advised me on many legal issues and created my estate plan.

I was in a situation where I was being pushed out of a family business. I was President and CEO of this company for 20 years, and had taken it from a small company in trouble, to one that was eleven (11!) times bigger and healthier. When the new generation took it over, they purchased my stock. However, they quit paying on the agreed upon monthly sum after only 6 months of taking over--leaving 9 1/2 years owing. They then asked me to leave two years earlier than my employment contract stated in exchange for resumed payments on the stock. However, they had given me no reason to believe that they would actually pay me, due to my past experience.
Mark Carman came highly recommended to me by a friend that had used him with great success in issues with his companies. Mark helped me understand what we needed to accomplish and created a plan to make it happen. He created documents and agreements that were binding but reasonable for all and worked with the opposing attorney to move things along to a positive solution. His skills in negotiation and explaining what is fair and reasonable could not be disputed by the opposing side. When in a room with all involved parties, he had everyone there coming out of the meeting with an understanding of what needed to be done for all to get what they wanted. When a tough line needed to be drawn to get negotiations back on track, he was not afraid to successfully make that move. After all that was done, I was able to come away with peace of mind, knowing that we have an agreement and documents that will ensure my fair treatment going forward. What was even more impressive, it was done in a way that preserved a positive family relationship, which is not always easy in such situations with a family business. This experience with Mark Carman was above my expectations in every way and gave me the best result possible. I would recommend him to anyone needing legal help.

Delivered our company operating contract in half the time I expected which was refreshing. When I asked him to make it more user friendly to read his revision was spot on and again in half the time I expected it in. Use Zeke if you want to work with someone that is down to earth, communicates well and need things in a timely manor.

I got caught in a pinch with changes to the State liquor laws that only gave me 12 days to get my application in before the new law went into effect. My business attorney recomended Tanner as he wouldnt have the time to get up to speed on all of the complexities of my situation and the liquor laws. This was probably the best advise he has ever given me. Tanner was able to efficently guide me through the application and licensing process as well as assist the DABC with some legal interpretations of the law that were pertenant in my case. I would not have been granted my license without her!

I worked with Jared over a series months and was extremely impressed by his combination of legal acumen and expertise as well as real world savvy. He took over a case from a previous attorney who had created a significant mess quagmire for him to unpack, organize and then turn around. Apart from bringing my case to a rapid resolution, he did so at a very reasonable cost and with the utmost efficiency. I would not hesitate to work with Jared again and feel lucky to have had him on my team on a very difficult case. If there was a 10 of 5 stars option on this website I would offer it to him.

Though I am an attorney, I asked Chuck to represent me in a personal injury matter last year (I practice a very different kind of law, I figured I would get a PI pro to handle my case). He was a powerful negotiator and the matter was resolved quickly, with the results far exceeding my expectations. In addition to being a great attorney, he is also a great person. Consider Chuck for your PI needs.

I fully recommend Seth Tait. He has earned my trust, my confidence, and my sincerest appreciation. I hired him to assist with my divorce, now I wouldn't dare use any other attorney.
Seth fights smart, fast, and efficiently. He is focused, knows what he's doing, and negotiates like a boss. He even finds ways to save me money off HIS bill. He is fiercely capable of making things happen and he has offered much more than legal counsel when it's been needed.
Needing a lawyer is rough, I know. But if you're gonna pay somebody, pay someone who knows what they're doing and who will actually help you. Someone who is accessible, reasonable, honest, real, and driven. For me, that's Seth.

David Jardine is a compassionate and persistent attorney who will fight for what is right. When I found that the opposing party of my small claims case had hired an attorney, I decided that I would need legal assistance as well to make it fair. Mr. Jardine took my case three days before the scheduled court trial. He persisted through extended court dates and appeals until the end of the final district court case. He found facts and case law that supported such facts, and ultimately prevailed over the opposing party. He won restitution for me in full, including attorney's fees. The several months of frustration and stress was alleviated by David's reassurance that he was taking care of everything. He garnered my trust from the initial consultation and kept it throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend David N. Jardine to represent you in your case against home builders or contractors.

I got served for a credit card that went in to collections from my divorce. I didn't know who to turn to or what to do. It's hard to trust someone when you already are nervous. I spoke to 6 different attorneys before I spoke to Jon. I was shocked at his knowledge and care. I hadn.t heard that from anyone else. He was very thorough in explaining my situation to me and what my options were. But there was something different, he cared. Handling a situation like this can be intimidating and frustrating. Jon made me feel completely comfortable. He was up front about fees and the process and possibilities. He hides nothing, he is honest, and truly cares about the end result for his clients.
It felt amazing to finally find trust in someone that you know will fight for you but gives you the nitty-gritty about it and prepares you for all the possibilities of the end result. He makes sure you have the clear picture of how your situation may end up. There was no guessing or having to wonder. I was able to ask him everything and he was beyond informative and gave me the details honestly. That was a huge help to me, so I knew what to prepare for and expect.
His fees were fair and far below any other attorney I spoke with. He truly should charge more for his services, knowledge, and care. You get way more than you pay for! Fees were the best for what was needed and even after my case was done.... he kept in touch to confirm with me that the end result that was expected, was actually documented with the court. He didn't have to do that, but it was so appreciated that he went the extra mile to assure me. He was there from start to the very end.
Jon is an honest an honest attorney that cares. His fees are beyond fair for the services he provides.
I don't know what I would have done without his representation. If I ever get into a debt mess again, Jon will the first person I go to and I wouldn't trust anyone else for taking care of my case.

I had a question about guardianship and estate planning for my dad, and I called RobRoy for some advice. He very quickly understood the situation, and knew exactly the process that we need to go through. He was both very kind and sympathetic about our situation, but also very informative and skilled in his understanding of the law in this case. I'm excited to continue working with RobRoy in the future.

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.
