I unfortunately have some experience in and around a court room. I have hired quite the collection of lawyers from several regions and districts throughout the state of Virginia as well as two in Florida. I am doing a rough estimate here, if I had to say what I spent in attorney fees over a forty year period it would land north of 85k. Now out of that 85 k. I’d consider that I got value for my money, say roughly about 35-maybe 40k worth. That would translate to three to seven lawyers that I felt actually earned the payment. That they actually did the work, fought for my well being, got me the absolute best they could ! Out of the”seven” good attorneys that I have hired, I can not include Mr. Brian Latuga into that alumni class. There is good reasons for this !
Brain Latuga has fought harder for me than any litigator I have ever seen, retained, spoke too, or has assisted my family and I in any manner. Mr. Latuga is in a class of his own. Beyond being a wonderful, dedicated family man. A great and honest man, he is a caring and compassionate man who will look deep into who you are, who you used to be, who you want to become, and most importantly what the hell has happened that brought your life to a screeching holt ! What circumstance led to your incarceration, or hardship that is being imposed by an infraction of today’s justice system. Brian will look through every aspect of the case and he knows how to work within and around the courthouse. He has more knowledge of the law than all of the attorneys I have hired in my life combined, and his work ethic is incredible. I don’t want to reveal personal details that pertain to my situation directly but Mr. Latuga has gone above and beyond for me and my family. He would return my wife’s regular weekly freak out calls during my incarceration. Always straight forward, he would never give us false hope or blow smoke to get us to stop bugging him or bombarding his email server. He would respond to us in 24 -36 hours regardless if it was a holiday or the third time that week we had a panic attack or freak out. He went well above the standard client visitation commitment that are outlined in his retainer contract. He has truly looked out for my best interest and has been by my side fighting and fighting and fighting to see me through the hardest and scariest time of my life. I could not imagine how I could have gotten through this without him nor would I have made it this far without him!! Brian Latuga is the BEST attorney in this city, district, state, and he is an amazing human being who truly cares and fights for you and your family!!!! He should be your first, last , and only attorney option if you are facing a fight, this man is who you want in the ring with you !
Thank you Brian, I wish there were better words to truly express my gratitude, I just hope that one day in the not so distant future I can repay you for how much you have given me and my family!!! You are our beacon of hope ! We know that we are in good hands and rest as well as one can through times like these! Thank you Brian Latuga and Heather too!!!
Sincerely,
your favorite habitually tardy criminal mastermind.😉

I am very pleased with the Services of Attorney Lisa Bertini. She patiently listened to my concerns. She understood the Law as it pertained to my situation and developed a strategic plan to resolve my issue. She was proactive in carrying out the Professional Services that she committed herself to. And, as my Legal Advocate, she went the extra-mile, and exceeded my expectations.

After enduring 8 months of extreme job stress and a forced resignation, I sought Ms. Bertini's advice and counseling on how to proceed. She and her staff were very welcoming and seemed genuinely sincere in their interest in my issues. I was able to have a very professional and honest discussion with Ms. Bertini on what my legal rights were due to my unfair work situation. While ultimately things were not pursued further, I felt like my case was thoroughly reviewed and adequately discussed. She helped me to walk out with my head held higher feeling better about myself, my past work situation, and my future after my session. I would not hesitate to refer (and already have referred) others to Ms Bertini and her staff for help when you need someone on your side to sort out difficult work questions.

We used Hanger Law for our closing and couldn't have been happier with the experience.

I was charged with a show cause for breaking a peace bond. I honestly had no idea what I had done to break the complainant's peace since I purposely had nothing to do with her and I had moved over 100 days after she made the complaint. Jason took my case and worked diligently to discover the reason. He found that the reason was unjustified. In court, Jason discredited the complainant and found that everything she said was untrue and the case was dismissed. Jason was very understanding of my mental state as I dealt with this trying time. He was compassionate and he and his team reassured me often that I had nothing to worry about. He definitely proved in court that justice and honesty always wins. I highly recommend Jason Miyares for any legal advise or representation you need.

His 14 years of experience include doing litigation so he provided me knowledge to get the results I need with a real estate boundary issue. The Hanger Law team was very efficient and I will use Attorney Jason Miyares again if the need arises. My highest recommendation to Attorney Miyares and his team at Hanger Law.

I am a business owner who uses attorneys from time to time. Jim Lang is the best. He helped me fix a big problem
I had at the VMRC on a matter of great importance to me. This was not a simple case so it turned into a 4 year journey. Over that entire time Jim was always smart, tenacious, experienced, a great listener, and (most importantly) caring. A lot of road blocks popped up over the life of my case. Jim figured out a way over, around or through each one. Jim's deep contacts at the agency, and the credibility he has built up over his many years representing clients before the VMRC, turned out to be a resource that was very helpful in getting my case resolved in highly favorable terms. Another thing that I liked about Jim is that he kept me informed all along the way. I always knew exactly what was going on with my case. This attorney is a quality human being who is very good at what he does. Highly recommended!

I started off with another attorney who thought I should just pay what the other party was ordering me to pay. Then I got a referral from a good friend of mine, so I called Jeff Howell. Jeff rolled his sleeves and jumped right in. Less than a week later he had negotiated a settlement agreement for less than half of what the other party wanted. As soon as that was settled I signed him up as my registered agent and look forward to using him for all of my legal needs. If you’re looking for a young and aggressive legal team to represent your business, I highly recommend these guys.

I retained Jeff last year (2019). I have had the opportunity to work with many attorneys in my life for many reasons Never I once have I felt that an office would put in a drop of thought to my case without overcharging. Jeff and his office (Kelli!) are different than other legal offices—they work tirelessly and really care about their clients. I feel 100% confident in stating that this office is not just in it for the money and they genuinely want to provide quality representation.
When the defending party in my case became threatening, Jeff did not hesitate to firmly put them in their place.
I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Jeff again. If you are looking for great representation from an attorney that is also a trustworthy and good individual, look no further—Jeff is your guy! There really aren’t enough words to express how much I recommend this firm.

Over the course of the last 14 years I have used four different attorneys for the various issues that have arisen regarding custody of my child. Throughout my cases I was left wondering what my counsel was really doing. My attorneys were hard to get in touch with and I never really heard from them until a couple of days before the case went to court. I felt completely in the dark.
With Kellam, things were different from the start. He was very honest with his assessment of our case. Time was of the essence in my case and he hit the ground running. I had access to all the documents he had in my file through his internet-based case management system. I got the updates for our case as soon as he got them and I knew every step of the way how things were going. If I needed to ask a question, I got a quick response to my e-mails.
With his diligence things happened quickly for us and we are in a good place right now. This was a very sensitive time for my family and I truly felt through it all I had someone in my corner.

Erica is my voice of reason is an extremely emotional field of non profit. our mission deals with veterans with military psychiatric disorder and we pair them with well trained shelter dogs.
She has given very sound advice on how to train new employees and how to dismiss them without difficulty. If I didn't have her to advise I would have not been equipped to handle some of the legalities of employee relations.

As an entrepreneur and small business owner, it is so important to have solid professional advice and support. I have always gotten those things from Rob. We have had frank and open conversations about a wide variety of important decisions I have had to make over the past few years. HIs business insight has proved to be quite valuable. On several occasions, Rob has spotted issues that I missed, and of course, that is what you hire a professional to do. I have come to learn that I can trust his judgment.
The contracts and project agreements Rob has architected for me have been so well-constructed that I have had five attorneys sign the agreements without changing a single word. That is a blatantly obvious peer review that has turned out well.

When we first walked into the offices of the firm for which Ms. Antle is an attorney, we thought we were two weeks away from closing the doors to our company. Debt was beyond overdue, we couldn't make the required minimum payments to vendors, and our financial institution had recently called our notes. Hope for a successful future in our family business was gone with no apparent alternatives in sight.
After a several hour consultation with Ms. Antle and her colleague, our thoughts changed dramatically. We began to see options rather than demands. Our vendors were suddenly willing to work with us. Many of our most crucial vendors began to set up plans that were agreed upon at mutually advantageous rates. Finally, a thorough and well orchestrated plan was constructed as to how we would navigate through a Chapter XI reorganization.
After almost two years of working together, our plan for reorganization was approved. The year that we were in a protected status was the most profitable we have had to date. We are taking in new orders from companies that we have never worked with before and are able to fund jobs with the creative ideas shared with us by their firm.
This is all due to the assistance, hard work, and dedication that Ms. Antle and Joseph Liberatore put forth to ensure a successful outcome to our case. Countless hours were spent in negotiations prior to filing as well as during the reorg status. They worked out interest rates that were far lower than anything we could have accomplished as well as developed terms that would allow us to continue our success post bankruptcy.
In addition to working with the creditors, vendors and financial institutions, Ms. Antle did a fabulous job managing us. Many deadlines exist in these types of cases and she was always there to help us meet those time constraints. She helped us through the litany of paperwork, filings, and related activities.
To summarize, the work that Ms. Antle did for us was and continues to be immeasurable. We couldn't be more pleased and would highly recommend Ms. Antle and her firm to anyone in need of this type of legal work. As I wrote this review, an event, though seemingly small, was absolutely gigantic into the mindset we took through this long and arduous process. Our initial meeting took place on a Thursday afternoon. That Friday, Ms. Antle and Mr. Liberatore took time out of their schedule to call me on my cell phone long after business hours to see how I was holding up. Their compassion and caring for us as people, not clients or customers, was something that I took through the past two years. You would be hard pressed in this day and age to find that level of service anywhere else. For that, I am extremely grateful and am highly encouraged about the future of our thriving company that was once almost dead.
Thank you, Ms. Antle!!!

I can not express enough the outstanding service I received from Ms. Antle. She is extremely knowledgeable, organized and proficient in her work. She is also very compassionate and understanding and made, what I felt, was a very devastating, humiliating situation in my life, a positive experience. I would highly recommend Ms. Antle and have recently referred a friend to her.

She was very kind and walked me through everything, and that was a rather late task because I had no idea what was going on or what to do about it. She calmly sat through my millions of questions and kept me updated with everything. She was amazing to work with, and she will be my first call if I ever need to go through this again.

Attorney Shumaker is not only highly knowledgable and compassionate, but his years of experience leading employment law from the "inside" with a large corporation shows. His legal insight and strategy definitely helped me in settling my wrongful termination/hostile work environment case when other attorneys wanted to approach it from a different direction. His efforts also prevented my previous employer from enforcing a non-compete clause; which was very important for someone in the medical profession. I will be forever grateful and definitely recommend him to others.

We hired Mr. Morecock to represent a family member. He is very knowledgeable and professional. We were kept up to date on the latest with the case(s) and he remained dedicated to providing us with the best possible service. Because of the complexity of the cases, we were worried about who to hire prior to meeting him. He put us at ease immediately. His representation exceeded anything we even imagined. Hopefully, we won't need the services of an attorney again but if did, Mr. Morecock would be the only attorney that we would consider. We have referred others to him and will continue to do so. We have the utmost confidence in his ability to provide outstanding representation. His experience in the courtroom is evident in the way he carries himself and communicates with others. If you want the best attorney, look no further.

Excellent consult with Katie. She was thorough and reassuring. She clearly knows what she's doing and knows what is reasonable and unreasonable to expect in divorce cases. I felt comfortable retaining her immediately and look forward to working with her.

I met with Katie yesterday for a consult after meeting with another lawyer.
The difference was night and day.
My experience with scheduling a consult was a breeze. I was able to come in within three hours of making the call.
Katie made sure to go through every single question that I had. She answered my questions thoroughly and she offered insight that I had not thought about.
She made me feel at ease. I left knowing that I was in good hands. Not only is she kind, she is firm where she needs to be.
I know that Katie will fight for me and my son and I feel confident in her abilities.

John was the calm in the storm of our last real estate closing. Things always have a way of going off the rails in this business, but John was able to solve the complex issues that tripped us up and we were able to close as scheduled. Having John on our team was invaluable!

Deborah handled my divorce and she was extremely knowledgeable of Virginia law and kept me informed of what to expect every step of the way. In a world where people seem to forget how personal and important legal matters are to the individuals affected, Deborah treated my case as though it was just as important to her as it is to me. She never lost sight that this was a major event in my life and the importance of her role as my attorney. She is the perfect balance of compassion, intelligence, and no nonsense. I would recommend her to anyone looking to have someone who went into this business because they care about the people they represent.

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.
