We used Hanger Law for our closing and couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our lender messed up some key name spellings on the closing documents and they were very quick to resolve the issue with almost no time lost. Great law firm with very friendly employees. I would highly recommend them for anyone who likes prompt and professional service.

My Brother was Recently Arrested on a seemingly crucial Charge, which carried significant Jail Time. After Hiring Marie for not only the Bond Hearing ,which she got reduced to a realistic cost. We Also hired Her for The Whole Case. Very Happy with The Results, that could of been severe, but instead very little jail time and small probation sentenced. Also She Has Followed up with My Brother During his Short stent of Jail. Thank you Again Marie. Keep it Up.

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.

I hired Attorney Jason Miyares to advise me on a Real Estate matter and his clarity on my choices was very helpful. 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.

For anyone like myself who found himself caught in the DWI system, let me share a two-word answer: Dave Albo! He is a meticulous professional who immediately stood out from the other attorneys I checked out. Dave is unique as a DWI lawyer because he handles only one client per day, so he is focused on your case and your case alone. He is also relentless when looking at all the evidence. In my case, Dave was able to get both charges dropped from my case, and I walked away with a simple reckless driving charge. His fee was one of the best investments I have ever made.

I used the Slovensky Law firm for my divorce. I looked up lawyers in the surrounding area near Roanoke, and this firm had wonderful 5 star reviews. Those reviews helped me realize this is who I need to help me through my divorce. Mrs. Slovensky helped me every step of the way to understand the process and always so positive in helping me get through this. My ex-husband wanted a very large sum of my retirement plan. She brought in another company to evaluate every part of my plan and lowered the sum substantially!!!! By doing this, I was able to walk away from the marriage not owing him a large sum of money. I would highly recommend this practice to everyone I know!!!! Thank you again Slovensky Law Practice for everything!!!!

My wife and I recently turned to Trey Parker to assist us in restating our revocable living trust, which was long overdue for top to bottom updating. Our family profile and circumstances present the types of complex considerations that are undoubtedly common to many families, involving the lives of adult children, grandchildren, individual needs, special health concerns, education costs, etc., and all the various asset distribution options. This requires the highly skilled legal analysis, thoughtful insights, extensive experience, and deep understanding of estate and tax laws that Trey displayed and delivered every time we met or talked with him. His ability to immediately connect with us as clients, listen intently, and come to understand our family situation so that he could craft a trust that best meets our specific needs was remarkable. We have tremendous respect for Trey and deeply appreciate his skilled handling of our trust.

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.

Katherine has been an outstanding asset as my business attorney. So I was thrilled to learn of her expertise in trusts and estates. She shined there in new ways. As always, she was responsive, professional, and efficient. She helped me be conscientious on spend to produce the best value given my goals. But estate planning involves not only complicated legal options, but requires working through emotionally difficult choices. And my case was not an easy one. She was wonderful! Her strong communication skills, her demeanor, and her experience in how choices play out practically for families made a big difference. She got me over the finish line with a structure and documents that give me new comfort. And her knowledge of business law meant that aspects of my estate involving my business could be addressed in the process. She turned what could have been grueling with another attorney into an empowering experience.

Joan Fine has been my lawyer since 2015. She has represented me on several issues. She represented me in legal action against a fraudulent building contractor with an outcome as good as possible under the circumstances. She has done real estate contracts and lease agreement work with me and I have been very pleased with the results. She saved my bacon on a 1031 exchange that would have gone wrong had she not double checked the work of the out of state attorney that handled the exchange in the other state. All and all, Joan has been a great lawyer and a good contact that knows who's who in the local community. I highly recommend Joan Fine for any legal work or information gathering concerning the local community.

When a former teacher of mine passed away, I became responsible in handling their estate. From day one, Joan has been there to help guide me through the process. Whether it be by phone, email, or in person, her responses are quick and to the point. Definitely would recommend her services.

I was unprepared when my loving wife of 44-years became terminally afflicted with metastasized brain cancer in January 2017. For the next 14-months I was her primary caregiver. We were both only focused of her recovery and never considered whether her 28-year-old hand-written Last Will and Testament from South Carolina, would be accepted in Virginia. When my wife died in February 2018, it was hard enough to deal with my loss but, this problem was made considerably worse when the Virginia Circuit Court would not accept her Will. I was informed that her death would need to be filed Intestate (without a Will) in accordance with Virginia State Law. I also had credit problems, so I was unable to secure a bond from a Bonding Agency to secure my wife's Estate and, therefore did not have the ability to receive payment from her Life Insurance policy. After talking with one Law Firm who wanted a retainer of $2500 to litigate my case, I continued to search for another attorney. I was referred to a Winchester attorney, Joan Fine, who wasted no time investigating my wife's Will at the Courthouse and resolved my legal matters in less than 3-days. I was greatly relieved to be named Executor to my wife's Estate without need of a Bonding Agency, and Joan Fine only minimally charged me for her actual time of 1-hour. Before my wife had become retired in 2014, she was a part-time paralegal who referred to most lawyers as “sharks”. However, I am grateful to have found Joan Fine -- an honest and exceptional Estate Attorney who put her client’s needs ahead of herself.

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.

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.

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.
