With my in-laws passing away within a month of each other, there was no way the family was going to save their house. Michelle stepped in and helped us through a strained foreclosure process (Covid-19 for two years, squatters, etc.). She did a terrific job not only helping us but keeping us informed. It was a real pleasure working with her. I would highly recommend her.

My wife and I had our Estate Paperwork prepared by David Albrecht and when my Parents moved here to be closer to our family, he completed their paperwork as well. Very professional and friendly. The advice he provided us has now come to the test as my dad passed away and I am again seeking his assistance to help with the process. We are in fantastic shape due to his thorough job on the paperwork and us following his advice after our initial meetings. The environment is friendly, and I feel very comfortable discussing our issues with David. Thanks for a job well done. We highly recommend him.

Be careful thanking people for gifts that they give you. I thanked someone for their gift and what a nightmare it turned out to be. I explained the situation to a State Attorney Rotarian friend and asked him who would he use. “The man for you is Louis B. ‘Buck’ Vocelle Jr.” Buck and his knowledgeable staff was there every step of the way. Buck returned phone calls promptly, arranged his schedule to fit us in (even when he was busy), and kept us apprised of every new development throughout our association. We went through arbitration and came to a settlement that was best in the long run. Without Buck’s confidence and expertise in this situation I don’t know how I would have made it. I highly recommend his expertise to everyone.

I was wrongly accused by a local politician ( a lawyer) of participating with an election group (ECO 527). This politician sued the group and included me in the lawsuit. I hired Mr. Vocelle to represent me. He immediately initiated actions to remove me from the lawsuit. He was very methodical and systematic in his successful efforts to remove me from the lawsuit.
He won a summary judgement in my behalf against the plaintiff ( the politician) and won the subsequent appeal. This judgement included legal fees which the plaintiff
now owes.
During this stressful time, Mr. Vocelle answered every question I asked and took the time to respond to every call I made (which were A LOT !!). He also explained all the legal procedures I went through in "layman" terms. He was a very positive influence during the whole process.
I would highly recommend him for any legal issue.

Stephanie’s approach to clients is hard to find in this industry. She immediately makes you feel welcome and important. She listens and provides insights to help the client understand the issues and the possible solutions available. Hiring an attorney can be a frustrating and challenging process.

We had a partner in our agency that wanted to sell their shares back to the company and receive a lump sum compensation for their investment. Rollins thoroughly reviewed our needs, ensured there were no gaps for miscommunication and drafted our necessary documents with 2 days despite a large workload after coming back from an overseas business trip. We were thoroughly impressed with his technical knowledge, legal abilities and client access.
He will be the only attorney we utlize for future business dealings.

I cant say enough about the knowledge and expertise I experiened with Conforti and Hennig. Originally from a different state, Attny. Pam Hennig educated us on FL law. She put our affairs in order and I left feeling very confident that our assets are protected and our end of life decisions are well planned for. She understood what I was looking for in planning our estate. As difficult as it is talking about sensitive issues, Attny. Hennig made me feel very comfortable doing so and it is a relief that this was all done effortlessly. Thank you Pam for your kindness and expertise.

Susan Chestnutt is a force to be reckoned with. Highly intelligent, savy, extremely well versed in her field, exudes confidence and frankly is intimidating - which is EXACTLY what you need when in court and FIGHTING for your child. She doesn't hold back, she doesn't pull punches. She is at the top of her field and that was evident at our first appointment. She not only got what we wanted but got it done much faster than we expected. She was a true blessing. If you need someone who can get the job done - it has to be Susan Chestnutt!!!!

I can’t say enough good things about Susan Chesnutt and her entire team. Special thanks to Kristen for being there for us through the whole process with Susan. When I say they truly care, it’s an understatement. The entire team fought for me like family would. I started out with an attorney from a different law firm who didn’t do his job at all and left me in a bad spot . When I came to the Chesnutt law firm Susan had a big mess to deal with from my old attorney. Let me tell you, Susan is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to family law she cleaned it up fast. Also the opposing counsel had 30 years in the business and Susan ran circles around them. If you are looking for truly the best representation in family law on the Treasure coast it’s definitely The Chesnutt Lawfirm. I have an executed parenting plan in place, I’ve started seeing my son and I’ve started My reunification counseling. I thought this day would never come after a two year battle. Thank you Susan Chesnutt, and your whole law firm.

Mr Lewis is fraudulent and is good at selling you a dream! He doesn’t show up to any court dates and only communicate when it comes to money. Anytime you ask him for an update, he makes sure he ask “when is the next time you can make a payment?” He lies about filing motions (like court cases aren’t public records)! He’s definitely not recommended!

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.
