Teresa Cole achieved for me a fulfilling life post divorce by ensuring my financial stability in negotiations with my ex husband and his attorney. She was conscientious of how we spent our time so that I wasn’t wasting my funds on unnecessary talk and issues. She was professional, effective, and completed my complicated federal employee divorce in just 18 months. She knew the best mediators who helped get the job done. She helped in advising me for my future life plans. I highly recommend Teresa.

I highly recommend Bob Cox and the Team at Briglia Hundley. Bob went above and beyond every step of the way, in a case that went on for several years. His professionalism, attention to detail, kindness and support throughout the process was top-notch. I couldn't be more grateful to have been introduced by an attorney I trust to Bob Cox and Briglia Hundley.

I had a terrible experience with Camille Crandall at Hicks Crandall Juhl, P.C. Her handling of my case was deeply flawed, leading to significant financial losses. Camille failed to secure an updated appraisal for a major asset, causing it to be grossly undervalued during my divorce proceedings. This oversight resulted in me losing a substantial amount of money. Additionally, her inadequate representation led to an unrealistic and excessive financial burden for me. When I sought accountability, I was met with threats and baseless accusations from her firm. I strongly advise against hiring Camille Crandall if you want competent and ethical legal representation. My experience with her has been a costly mistake.

Susan and Haley are truly professionals with a clear sense of vocational calling. They were the lawyers who helped me through my divorce. Although my ex-partner appealed, and I consulted with other lawyers, the more I met with them, the more I realized how outstanding Susan and Haley are. They are not only professional but also genuinely kind-hearted. They answered all my questions promptly, often on the same day, and meticulously assisted me with every detail of my divorce, from beginning to end. I want to express my gratitude once again.

I was referred to Broderick Dunn by a local attorney and friend, and she undoubtedly guided me to the right person. In a very emotional state, having been bullied and pushed out of my job after a long career, I found Mr. Dunn and his staff to be exceptional from start to finish. From the initial intake to the conclusion of my case, the professionalism and responsiveness of Mr. Dunn and his knowledgeable staff were outstanding. Anytime I called or sent an email, I received prompt and thorough responses. Broderick was always there to listen and provide advice every step of the way. It quickly became evident that I was going to have a successful outcome, and I did—thanks to Broderick Dunn. He was able to secure more than what we initially sought. I highly recommend him for his expertise and dedication.

Broderick represented me to swiftly resolve a noncompete restriction after I left my firm to join another. The firm had attempted to restrict me from doing business across multiple industries, globally. Broderick battled through two external law firms as well as two internal legal divisions of the firm to drive in months. He was swift, effective, and amazingly efficient in making sure a fair outcomes was reached and that I could go back to work. Just amazing!

Great lawyer. Returns calls, and takes time to meet with clients, listens, and very honest. This lawyer took the time to really listen to my problems with my ex husband and helped me prove he was not a good person to have my 3 year old around. He also helped me prove I was innocent on a bogus charge my exhusband mother brought up against me. I would recommend him highly.

I am so very happy to give Jason Hickman a five star review. I went to him for legal business counsel and his advice was exactly what I needed. He was very respectful, kind, patient with my questions, and reassuring. The advice was sound and I am just so grateful. This is my second experience using Compton Duling attorneys and if I need an attorney I will certainly go to them again. I recommend Jason Hickman completely.

Jason was extraordinarily helpful with our personal circumstance! He kept in touch with us every step of the way and made sure we understood throughly what was happening! Which is fantastic as previous lawyers had us confused with all the lawyer speak. Even when we had a bit of trouble with money, he offered to help us with our dues to him. Highly recommended!

We hired Jason Hickman for a real estate matter and he was terrible! In fact when it was all said and done, we had to hire another attorney because we were going to lose the house. The new attorney we hired said that he could see what Mr. Hickman was trying to do but it was not executed well. So it cost us another 6 thousand dollars! That is a lot of money! Of course I send him an email expressing my disappointment but have not heard back - not surprised! He was terrible!

a while ago, The Manassas court attorney referral department referred me ( for a reasonable of $75.00 or so ) to contact attorney Scott J. Newton. My first meeting with Attorney Newton was great he was very informative on my options to my case that I had won judgement by the court . couple months later I decided to hire Mr. Scott J. Newton and use his services to follow-up and continue my small case. So I went ahead and called his Manassas office, a receptionist answered. I asked her if I could speak with attorney Newton regarding a previous consultation I had with the Attorney, she asked me multiple questions as if she was checking if my case was worth the attorney's time. then i was transferred to a different receptionist, I again asked if I could speak with attorney Newton, then i was transferred back to the first receptionist. I again asked if attorney Newton was available. Her responds was " "Mr. Newton Does recall speaking with you but you will have to schedule an appointment again with Mr. Newton. You will have to pay a fee of $250.00 for your visit again " Wow ! So my personal experience is that, Mr. Newton and his staff are all about their own benefit and not about helping. So I don't think its fair to pay this attorney 250.00 just to fully refresh his memory. I felt this was so unfair, Was it because my case was not as profitable for him ? maybe so..

We discussed a probate situation where my brother had recently passed. He agreed to take my case and provide me with all the necessary paperwork to close the probate process. Unfortunately, after several attempts to contact to Sam, when he DID respond, he said he was only a coach, and that was it. So when I approached him with questions about my case, he kept responding vaguely, "I'm your coach." After several attempts to reach some understanding, I realized I needed to go with a real lawyer to remedy the situation in a timely manner. Best of luck.

My husband hired Mr. Dildy last year for a custody case. He got him to court quickly for the emergency case. After the first hearing my husband was granted temporary physical custody of the kids. After that first hearing was finished is when David began dragging his feet and making excuses for why we couldn’t press concerns and other issues. He would say on numerous occasions that he didn’t like to fight, he wasn’t going to throw stuff at the wall, and that he felt sorry for the other side (mother). He would tell us that by letting the children go visit her and having the bad stuff continue to happen it would only be better for court and would give us more to use against the mother (instead of finding ways to prevent them from going to the mother’s home and allowing the incidents to continue to happen). We had already NUMEROUS reasons why the kids were in danger! We didn’t need more reasons! He wouldn’t use those though! When we would call with concerns, he would tell us history stories and on numerous occasions the calls would end with him asking us to give information to the mother instead of protecting us and the children. We spent several thousands and thousands of dollars BEGGING David to help, defend, and guide us for the children’s sake. He lied about submitting documents that we found out once the case finished from our new attorney, which costs us thousands (and he had told us he had submitted after asking him multiple times). David works when you tell him you are going to seek another attorney but other than that he will not! He will manipulate you and smooth talk you. At one point he convinced people involved in the case that the children weren’t being abused, which was the entire case!! You would be better off not having an attorney, he is a nightmare! He literally works against you and takes all your money. He also urinates while speaking with you on the phone. Thank goodness we fired him! Thank goodness! Our new attorney literally cost a quarter of what David cost, worked 2x longer than him and actually finished the case with having us show up 1 time out of 3 court hearings. I would run from him and not look back. It is scary that David is in charge of helping people’s lives, especially children!

My husband and I hired Mr. Didly three years and every year we won. I hired Mr. Dildy again for the fourth time, due to the child's mom still not complying with the court order. That's when Mr. Dildy said we are going for custody, not knowing Mr. D’s strategy, we worrying, lordy I was. Once Mr. Dildy gets into the courtroom he is in a winning zone. We won our custody battle case, thanks to Mr. DILDY and the wonderful friendly staff at Weisberg & Weisberg law firm. To anyone that may be reading this review be patient, comply with the court order, write down the evidence if the other parties not complying with the court order, and try to get along with the other parties that are involved. It helps the child in many ways. A custody case is a very sensitive, draining, and overwhelming case for everyone who’s involved especially the child. I know this was a long review but it was well worth writing and hoping I can help someone else make the right decision in finding the right lawyer to represent them well in the courtroom. Will I hire Mr. D again? Yessssss I WILL!

Joe is one of the best lawyers I have ever dealt with. Joe represented my case very well and drove the outcome of my matter to the most successful scenario and demonstrated not only professionalism and expertise but was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish during the entire process. I felt safe and well represented under Joe’s legal representation and will most certainly go to Joe for any legal needs and would highly recommend him to anyone. Joe also demonstrated a high level of commitment, integrity, professionalism and courtesy that is rarely seen in the legal arena. I very much appreciated and happy with Joe’s legal assistance and representation.

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
