I've been in the Real Estate business for forty years. This guy keeps his cool and will keep you out of trouble. He has an ability to understand the problem and find a solution that works for everyone. His fees are reasonable ( if that's possible with a lawyer ) and he keeps the situation moving so you don't fall asleep or eat your heart out while he's working. By far the finest representation. He's also worked on my will, my Trusts and advised on my divorce. A good guy to have on your side.

Justin has been amazing in helping me with several legal issues in the past two years. Well after this review I will be needing to contact an attorney about Probate Law. Justin has been very kind to me and has spent time conversing with me over the phone and is knowledgable and well studied in many facets of law and has never failed to provide me the information and contacts needed to work through legal issues as they have arised. All this mentioned above and the fact Ithat Jistin is obviuosly not interested in obtaining a fee unless he can make a difference in the case. I am truly grateful for all Justin has done to help me.
Do not hesitate to call on him for your legal needs. Thank You Justin!

I called Justin and left a message and didn’t expect to hear back from him. The next day which happened to be a Friday I received a call back from Justin at 7:30pm, and he wasn’t calling to schedule an appointment he was actually available to speak with myself and my husband and stayed on the phone with us until all our questions were answered. When you are facing a tax lien and looking to purchase a home it’s important that you get advice from someone who is knowledgeable and has experience dealing with the IRS. Justin did not sugar coat or make promises he gave us options and did not pressure us to work with him. We look forward to working with Justin in the near future.

I was referred to Daryl by another attorney that we have worked with for years to handle multiple issues after the death of my husband including his estate, living trust planning and several corporate issues. I found him to be extremely compassionate, professional, knowledgeable, honest, genuine, easy to work with and most importantly, responded to me immediately when I needed him. I always felt that I was in good hands and I was not being taken advantage of. Daryl will continue to be our personal family attorney and I recommend him highly.

Mr. Dykeman is the most knowledgeable caring individual I have ever met. When I was at my worst not knowing where to turn or what to do Mr. Dykeman took charge! He stepped in immediately and went above and beyond to help me. There are many attorneys that will seem like they want to help and just take your money and no outcome, this has happened to me personally! What others family lawyers told me was ridiculous. Mr. Dykeman understands and helped me, believe me you will not find this quality in every attorney you meet, he is a very genuine person. I can really tell that this is passion for Mr. Daryl and not just a every day thing. He will fight for you and make things right! Thank you Mr. Daryl you are Awesome! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Stacy listened to my situation and took charge of my case. He was quite knowledgeable and gave me immediate information on how my case would be handled. He kept me informed throughout the period of mediation and recovered the full amount requested. I thank him for his very competent fortitude, and recommend him highly. He is everything one would want in a proficient attorney. Thank you Stacy. You not only made my day, but my year as well.

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.
