We have recently been working with Lehrman (“BevLaw” as I call them!) on our spirit formulations and then COLA label approvals They have been IMMENSELY helpful and saved us tons of money in the long run and shaved off months on what it would have taken us personally to navigate the TTB system. Their contacts and intimate knowledge of the Formula approval and label approval process are far beyond what I’d learn in a whole year Their expertise is definitely worth paying for, saved us a giant headache and also money and time in the end. Jaycee was a JOY to work with and always super responsive Cannot day enough good things about Lehrman; I heartily recommend! ( We are a new craft distillery, having just gone through our first approval process.)

After searching for months our prayers were answered when we found Mr. Watkins. From our first meeting with Joe we felt he was honest with us and genuinely interested in helping us with our insurance bad faith claim. Joe is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and very down to earth. This was a very stressful and difficult time for our family and for the first time during this whole insurance nightmare, we felt we weren't alone anymore. Rosemary our paralegal was also with us every step always responding quickly and keeping us posted on our case. Finding the Joseph W. Watkins Law Office was a God send! I would highly recommend this law firm!

He was amazing. He saw the vulnerability in our opponent and used it to take the plaintiff off their game. We had a great result and we were very happy with the settlement. Joe is a fighter and a winner. You could not do better in hiring an attorney.

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.

Last year, I needed a hire an attorney to assist in the eviction of a family member/tenant situation. Brian and his team of lawyers including Levi Huston and Blake Browning, did an outstanding job of representing my interests in this unusual case. Every step of the way, they were respectful of my wishes while managing my costs to keep them to a minimum. Given this very difficult situation, I am very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Brian West and his team of lawyers.

This review is long overdue and is more than well-deserved. A couple of years back, I had visited Staunton, VA with some friends. Before the night was over, I had received a charge and had to return for court. I looked around at several attorneys and had a few consultations. After a few rounds of that, I found Susan through a Google search and contacted her. She offered a free consultation and spent 30+ minutes with me on the phone going over the details of my case and the events leading up to the charge. She was extremely knowledgeable, proactive, and genuine in the consultation, which really stood out to me more than the other attorneys I spoke with. She gave me very solid advice and offered a very fair price for representation. I thought it over for a couple of hours and I quickly called her back, which was a very good decision. In the months leading up to the court date, Susan checked in on me several times and gave advice. When the day finally came to go to court, Susan talked to the prosecuting attorney and they decided not to pursue the charges against me, and gave me 25 hours of community service instead. The anxiety and tension I felt about potentially having a charge on my record faded away after that date. I could not be more grateful for the great work that Susan did for me. I will always recommend her to anyone who's looking for legal representation in Staunton and the surrounding areas.

Jack was thrown into my case, which was an extraordinarily complex issue involving retaliation from a multi-billion dollar tech company & the laws regarding pay for "on-call time", about midway to summary judgement. The (also very talented) lawyer I had originally hired had received a higher calling from the White House that could not be ignored, and so Jack was thrown into the fray. Jack spent an inordinate amount of time with a MASSIVE amount of evidence to plow through and did so admirably and without hesistation or complaint. I was able to receive a considerable sum offered in settlement without having to drag myself through another potential few years of litigation. This allowed me to put the anger aside and get on with the business of living my life, which to me is worth more than gold! Jack is an excellent listener, who allows his clients to vent as necessary, but will not hesistate to tell you things that you *need* to hear, as opposed to things you *want* to hear....which is exactly what most people treading the waters of employment law require. All together a stand-up guy who will fight for your rights, tooth and nail.

He always kept me up-to-date regarding what was happening with my case and always provided me with great advice when it came to me making decisions. In the end, I won my case, we settled out of court and I was very pleased with the settlement package Jack negotiated for me. I was in awe with Jack’s talent… amazing! I will not hesitate to use his services again if needed in the future. I highly recommend hiring this talented attorney if you require legal services. Jack is a young shining star in the legal world!

Robert Dain is the best lawyer in this area. He is a seasoned legal professional, experienced and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the law. Well respected in the courts, and held in high regard, Mr. Dain is fair and honest, humble -- all while committing himself to his clients' best interest in their case. I swiftly moved my divorce case to Mr. Dain after realizing my "family law" junior attorney was not making any traction, unfriendly and one who pandered to the OC. Mr. Dain is savvy and simply genuine. He had my best interest and that of my children at the forefront, in advocating for me. He had to work quickly to undo the former attorney's lack of detail for an upcoming deposition. It was amazing how quickly Mr. Dain got up to speed; asking all of the right questions, to my now ex-husband. We settled and did not go to court yet Mr. Dain was prepared in the event the opposing team would not cooperate. Most importantly in the interest of my children, we did not wish to subject them to that hostile environment. I look forward to working with Mr. Dain in the future regarding estate issues and perhaps, follow-up with my divorce case. His representation and negotiation skills were life-saving during such a difficult time. His calm, upbeat manner and strength have a way to put his clients at ease. I'm certain many would agree.

EXPERIENCE MATTERS.... The plaintiff in my case was hoping for easy picking but Bob and his firm was able to blow it out of the water causing the Plaintiff Attorney to request a non-suit (Dismissal without Prejudice).

When negotiations with our telecommunications suppliers were in danger of becoming bogged down Jonathan's clear, concise and well argued interpretations ensured that not only was momentum maintained but also that decisions were always favourable.

I decided to reach out and ultimately hire Ms. Pervaiz after receiving positive feedback from a friend. I am extremely happy with my decision because Ms. Pervaiz was very supportive and professional from beginning to end. At the time, I was in a very tight bind and conflicted on what to do next after reading about consequences that were levied on others in a similar situation to my own. I knew that I wanted to hire Ms. Pervaiz after the initial consultation because she was confident and provided me assurance right away. She had handled similar cases in the past that yielded positive results so I was much more comfortable after reading all the horror stories online. After the initial consultation, she gave me a list of documents to obtain so she can review, understand, and fully assess my case. After I sent over the documents, Ms. Pervaiz made herself available every day until my actual court date. This really put me at ease knowing that I could always reach out anytime I had any questions. I only called a few times mainly to ensure she had everything she needed but the initial checklist she gave me covered it all. On the actual court date, we agreed to meet early to go over any final questions and to explain the process in the courtroom. She made it really easy for me as she did all of the talking. She laid out potential scenarios, explained the details of each situation, and asked what outcome I would prefer. The case ended in a favorable outcome for which I am extremely grateful. I would gladly hire Ms. Pervaiz again and have recommended her to others.

Mr. Romanick and his associates work smartly and efficiently. We hired him for a collection matter that evolved into an adversary proceeding in a chapter 7 bankruptcy. These cases can be quite complicated and expensive. He always had a complete understanding of the complexities of our business. He was able to spend a minimal amount of time and still turn out quality pleadings. He allowed us to have substantial input in the way the case was handled. We were pleased with the manner in which the account was handled and would not hesitate to hire Mr. Romanick and his firm again.

Breakout Capital hired Doug in May 2017 after he served as external counsel helping the company secure its first credit facility. Since that time, Doug has negotiated an extension of that facility plus two additional credit facilities, led the diligence and negotiations on prospective M&A transactions, and served as a key member of the executive team, where his duties extend well beyond just legal. In addition to being extremely thoughtful, diligent and hard working (consistently one of the last to leave the office), Doug is very pragmatic and able to isolate the key issues that are worth pursuing. He is also very adept at juggling multiple tasks simultaneously such that nothing falls through the cracks. One of the most admirable qualities about Doug is that he is very fair and even-handed. Though he consistently fights to get the best deal he can, he recognizes the need to be transparent and fair in any negotiation with counterparties.

Simply put, Doug is one of the top attorney's I have ever worked with. We initially hired Doug's firm to provide counsel and draft the documents on our first financing. Doug took the time to understand our business model so he could better communicate how certain clauses in the financing structure could positively/negatively impact our business. There are just not many attorneys at his level with his experience that get so "deep into the weeds" as he did. After completing the financing, our company hired Doug full time as we were so impressed by his work and we continue to be impressed with hard work and dedication. I can say for certain if Doug had not put in all of the countless hours that he has into our business, we would not be where we are today.

Doug has always exhibited unparalleled work ethic and firmly grounded personal ethics. You would be hard-pressed to find a better attorney or person. I strongly endorse this lawyer. I have known Doug for close to 7 years. He is a lawyer of great integrity, dedication and intelligence. A valued and trusted adviser, he provides his views with clarity, directness and precision. He is a strong negotiator capable of employing both forceful argument and an open, friendly manner and ready humor in order to achieve the proper result for his clients. I had the pleasure of being one of Doug’s clients from May 2010 through August of 2014 while he supported my business line on many large and heavily structured commodity transactions covering 15 states and 4 markets. Doug’s knowledge, experience and support are unmatched. His work ethic, thoroughness provided complete assurance to the commercial team, allowing the team to more closely focus on core commercial matters, rather than having to worry about risks and challenges in the legal space – Doug simply took that element of concern off the table for the commercial team. This was true on a spectrum of transactions and enabling agreements ranging from ISDA transactions to complex and highly structured transactions involving several different sources of cost and revenue. This bulletproof level of service was consistently delivered to the business line, even though Doug led a number of other quite disparate portfolios, showing the range of Doug’s combined depth and breadth of expertise in credit, construction, commercial and M&A transactions. I offer the highest recommendation of Doug’s work and find him to be an invaluable professional asset, and, most importantly, a pleasure to work with.

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.

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.

Alex Laufer took my case and represented me throughout a long and challenging insurance settlement following a vehicle accident that caused me irreparable injury and chronic pain. He worked the case with determination and resourceful strategy and obtained a settlement that was fair to all parties. Most important to me, he obtained that result with unquestionable integrity, and without causing animosity or ill will with the insurance companies and parties involved. When the case was concluded, everyone walked away from the experience with the sense that it was a routine business transaction. If I ever need a lawyer again, I will not hesitate to call Alex or his law firm for help.

Mr. Laufar not only approached the case as requested, he also introduced other variables that resulted in a larger award. He explained parts of the law that we were not aware of at the time. Had we gone to Mr. Laufar 6 months earlier, we would have had a much larger award than obtained at the end of the case. If any follow-up work is required, we will definitely go back to Mr. Laufar and we do recommend him for any legal action.

He worked with us on our operating agreement and walked us through the entire trademark process including warning us about scams that may show up afterward (and they did!). Adam also reviewed and recommended changes to the terms and conditions and privacy policies for our website. Our business is food and agriculture-based, and he assisted us to find other resources we needed to ensure we comply with VA law. He's responsive, knowledgeable and professional. We even hired him to help us write a contract for our nanny. If we need a lawyer we call Adam. Don't tell him I said this, but I'd probably pay him more for the service he provides.

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.
