I can’t speak highly enough of Maura. She took a unique situation that, although I was wronged, I was anxious of how we could prove our case and make it right. Maura made it happen, and I’m happy to say we were victorious. She was very honest and open throughout the whole process, meaning she kept my expectations in check. She’s a gem!

I was confused to see these reviews. Like four of them are one star because the think he bought good stars. Not the case here anyway. I've worked with Ted on and off for the last few years and he is frank... (apparently that offends folks) but intelligent, compassionate and professional in my experience. I like him! Recommend!

Andy Cores is quickly able to pick up and go to work with tricky/sticky dynamics.
His 30+ years experience shines in the conference room, courtroom and private conversations. Much deliberation is emotinally based and Andy has a VERY high emotional intellignence combined with diplomacy and legal experience. It was a true pleasure and my priviledge to watch him in action as he implemented strategies and worked to move a 'stuck' process forward. He also showed encouraging leadership to the opposing team as well. You must see for yourself and put him on your 'go to list'!

I originally met with Andy for a consult and he was very thorough about how the process worked. He was busy and so he had his associate Sharon take over my case. Sharon was great about listening to me and taking care of all the details. Ultimately, Andy and Sharon worked together to resolve my case. Their assistants, Jen and Donna, are also great teammates who diligently responded to help me when Andy and Sharon were in and out of the office for court. I would highly recommend this team!

I do not recommend. They do not protect women and children from abusers and they do not do what is in the best interest of the children.

Andy was so thorough about explaining the process when we met for our first consultation. He knows his stuff well and was so clear about all the details. He's a nice guy, but I knew he would also support me 100% and be an aggressive lawyer if need be.

I was Pro Se with my case and issues of right of first refusal. Andrew was assigned to our case with my twins and he excelled in meeting our families needs. Most attorneys I’ve dealt with in the past don’t take the time to really get to know the family dynamics in the small time frame they are given. Andrew did just the opposite. In all of our correspondence and meetings, with my children as well, Andrew took such intricate care with all the details concerning our family and I highly recommend his services to those who are looking for an honest, fair and upstanding person to handle their family affairs during or after divorce.

Excellent attorney! Great communication! I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Alex Fawell represent me. The outcome of my case more than met my expectations! Very respectful attorney! I most definitely will retain him for future legal services! Appreciate all you and your staff have done. Apologies for delay in posting this review.

I worked with Alex Fawell to help establish custody & child support. At our initial Consultation, I thought he would advocate for me. This was my 1st time ever dealing with court. The non-custodial parent’s family was familiar with family court & proceedings. I wanted my attorney to discuss with me my options & advocate for me and my child.
I am Disappointed in this firm. Our parenting agreement is extremely long and noncustodial parent continues to use power & control. Since this agreement, I continue to get emotionally abused. The parenting order that Fawell & Fawell established for me, has not worked and has caused distress. He also never informed me of my options and what is realistic.

I reached out to Maurice when I was in dire need of a lawyer. After reviewing multiple agencies I found Mr. Holman. He is an in your face lawyer that is not afraid to fight for you. He is a very professional and knowledgeable attorney but I have never met an attorney that is as dedicated to his work. I cannot recommend more this attorney than any other I have worked with. He will definitely be the first attorney I reach out to for any future matters. Maurice Holman; Thank you for your service. I cannot explain how thankful I am and looking forward to future representation.

Jeffrey handled my unemployment insurance claim in a timely manner. He is very professional, friendly, and he explained the procedure thoroughly. He answered all my questions. He kept me updated with any new information as it arrived. Jeffrey explained the hearing process and was very supportive during the online hearing. We won the case. I do recommend Jeffrey for your needs.

Words cannot express the compassion, professionalism, and integrity we experienced while working with litigators Amanda Zannoni and Heather Kramer at Rathje Woodward. Throughout our legal matter, Amanda and Heather, meticulously and diligently worked to bring justice to our cause. They truly listened, understood, and fought hard for what was right and fair. Their wit, intelligence, and perseverance gave us complete confidence and faith that they would achieve success in our case…and indeed they did! There are no better hands to leave your legal troubles in than the hands of these two remarkable litigators, Amanda Zannoni and Heather Kramer, at Rathje Woodward.

I highly recommend Ryan to fight for you. He won a case for me that the other party continually came up with new fights to try to get back and to take over guardianship for a relative which they originally took advantage of which they tried to spin as false. Even the judge had put a separate attorney to question everyone involved, even police, the county the assisted living facility and the all of us, as well as the relative being taken advantage of. After numerous new filings by the other side, Ryan filed and fought for us to win each case. Plus we also hired him for a separate case that the same party filed against me and my husband this time, for far out money in the hundreds of thousands. Ryan won us that case as well especially with being so emotional. And may I say, I totally disagree with another review stating Ryan charges way too much. That client needs to know Ryan himself does NOT set the costs. The office that he works at has a set pricing for any particular job that he must follow.

Hello, I hired this attorney in a case I had in 2020, in which I regret to this day. He sold me a pipe dream and I had faith in him. However, this immediately altered once he gave a set date. Upon this date he never carried out what the letter he himself set into play. I paid 750.00 only for a letter, and I expressed this was my savings and please assist me or send me too another lawyer. He took my money and According to the person I was suing . He stated to him how he totally disliked me and shared with him things I shared with him.
I asked why , he denied saying things. I reminded him of Attorney client privilege. Well in making this brief I went on too find another attorney. To whom I absolutely rate him with 5 stars .
What took me so long to post is my health issues. I just ask if you hire him get a contract and underline and make sure you understand and agree what you will receive from him before giving dollars.
Get in writing that your and his conversation is between you and him and. If he share with the others he will owe you what you paid him.

I placed a phone call to this lawyer to inquire about legal help. While his receptionist was helpful, Mr. Stock did not have the professionalism or courtesy to even return my telephone call. Having worked with prominent attorneys for over 20 years, I expected to hear back from him whether or not he could provide legal services to me. What a disappointment.

Failed to show for a custody hearing. No show and no answer to my calls. Later blamed his "day planner". His office is or was across the street from the Wheaton courthouse. Later in the case I find out Mr. Stock talked directly with my ex without my knowledge and not through her attorney! When I confronted him about this his reply was " You two need to quit fighting". I hired him because we couldn't and don't. Took one more retainer knowing case was over. This guy is worthless. I believe he mentioned a son perhaps following in his footsteps. Watch YOUR step if you see the name Stock!

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.
