John Rogers represented me and my company in a contentious lawsuit with a corporate investor (case 342 208892 in the 342 Judicial District in Tarrant County). He has an astute sense of timing, a thorough knowledge of the law, a great ability to manage a case and the willingness to consult with other attorneys in areas outside of his expertise.

John has been our corporate attorney for the past seven years.
He has assisted us in corporate documentation, and often in creating contracts and assisting us in making sure they were honored. When we did have to go to court to enforce the company's agreements, he did a great job representing us and got the result we wanted.
Most recently, he defended our company in a lawsuit that was a thinly-disguised take-over attempt by a dissident minority shareholder. He did an outstanding job in a very complicated legal area with the end result that all of the plaintiffs' pleadings were dismissed. John was competant, informed and thoroughly professional even when opposing counsel and the plaintiff were otherwise.
We highly recommend him for his intelligence, calmness and professionalism,

I needed assistance with a property trust and I needed it on very short notice. Ryan jumped in on super short notice and had paperwork ready the next day. Really helped me out me out of a jamb. He didn't have to take action so fast. I look forward to working with him again when the need arises.

This past year, I retained Ryan Towson for legal services on two occasions, one of which was a complicated probate issue. Ryan navigated through the issue at hand with the highest degree of professionalism and integrity, guarding my best interest at all times. Subsequently, I asked Ryan to draw up my will, which would include some unusual requests requiring thoughtful articulation. Once again, Ryan and his expertise proved to be outstanding, providing exactly what I needed to be at ease concerning my estate.
I am honored to say that through this experience with Ryan, I now consider him to be a good friend . Ryan is competent and disciplined in his field, as well as, kind and compassionate, displaying the utmost respect for his clients. I hold Ryan in the highest regard as an attorney and caring individual.

My wife and I hired Alyssa Turner to defuse a complicated fence dispute issue with an unhinged neighbor (who freeloaded for years off our privacy fence) and then threatened us with legal action and more because we provided a courtesy notice we were removing and replacing our fence with one well inside our property line so neighbors couldn't attach to it and so we could maintain it without needing anyones permission to go on their property. My belligerent neighbor went mental because they have 3 large dogs and would have to pay for their own fence if we took down our fence; they claimed it was on their property and we would be trespassing if we tried to remove it. Alyssa served legal notice on our neighbor that we would exercise our property rights and was literally there for us on fence tear down day when this hostile neighbor called the police, ensuring law enforcement knew we were within our legal rights. Alyssa is a compassionate attorney, and a tenacious and fierce advocate. We are so grateful to her and would not hesitate to hire her again!

I hired Mark Harden to do my Will and my partners too. He is very knowledgeable about Estate Planning and ensured we had the paperwork setup the right way to make sure our home went to one another in case of death and also got our Medical and Durable Power of attorney set up for both of us. Thanks for being so patient with us, explaining things in detail and guiding us along the way.

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.
