It is very hard to find individuals you can truly trust in the marketplace anymore. Professionalism, responsiveness, and integrity are getting harder and harder to come by, so when I find someone who exudes all of the above, I take them and do not let go! This is exactly how Chelsea, with The Metka Law Firm, runs every aspect of her business. From the moment I begin a transaction with her, whether it be a real estate closing, client representation, or a simple title search, she is quick, honest, and extremely upfront. She crosses every T and dots every I. Never have I dealt with someone who is as thorough as she is and who truly cares about the clients she represents. I cannot say enough about this company and will never go elsewhere when referring legal representation or when needing legal counsel for my own personal needs. Chelsea is the one to call!

Ms. Conan held my hand and walked with me for over two years as I struggled with the FBBE. She laid the foundation for what took over three years (C&F clearance.) I would not be the person I am today, if not for her. If you are in need of a C&F attorney or just a shoulder to cry on, she is the one. I cannot put into words the amount of care and respect I have for Elizabeth. She absolutely goes above and beyond to help her clients.

As a lawyer I ALWAYS hate having to be the client. But I know that in most circumstances I am WAY better off hiring a lawyer to handle the situation than trying to do it myself. Working with Tom on my case is absolutely one of those situations. He did an amazing job, kept me informed, and really got us a great resolution on a very pressing matter. I hope to never go through this situation again, but if I do, I know which lawyer I am bringing in to help me...it's Tom and his team.

You know an attorney is great when other attorneys hire them for their cases. Tom Morelli did an absolutely amazing job for my husband and I on our roof claim. I have heard horror stories about how these cases can drag on for years and you end up settling for pennies to finally get any sort of roof put on. Tom Morelli got us a quick resolution (under a year) and we didn't have to comprimise on the amount to resolve our claim so that we can pay for the new roof and all of the damage caused by a hurricane. Hire him today, you won't regret it.

It's amazing. Mr. Mashburn doesn't bug you with marketing crap at all. Who wants to be pitched reverse mortgages or something like that? He "hasn't even gone there" and that's the way I like it; and then when you really need him bad, then and only then will he call and give you an informed, street smart, and well-informed briefing of what's going on and what's to come. Lauds to him on all matters legal, especiallly around this town. (You NEED an attorney who knows your town). I am impressed thus far! Smooth sailing in court to all!

Eric Mashburn is a straightforward and knowledgeable attorney. He truly cares about my legal matters, and my dealings with him has always been in a professional and comfortable manner. I've had past attorneys who charge a bundle but I have never met. They will only talk to you on the phone, or have their paralegal or secretary contact you. From day one, I was on a lengthy phone conversation with Eric, and met him in person soon after. That's the type of attorney I want. Someone who is there when you need them, not someone who only there when you need to pay them. I highly recommend Eric for legal services.

Mr. Mashburn took over the case from another lawyer who was non-responsive and apparently was handling things incorrectly. Eric corrected the mistakes from the previous attorney and was able to get a summary administration very quickly. He always responded to my calls and emails in a timely manner. His assistant Lynn was very helpful as well.
I highly recommend Mr. Mashburn.

Unfortunately I wish I had read the reviews before i decided to allow Warren to be my lawyer in my divorce. He was very difficult to understand while using the phone and he often would tell me stories of his experiences as a lawyer and his own personal experiences losing focus on the objective of the conversation. The day before my court case he told me that he did not have a suit. I went silent because I didn’t believe I had heard what he said . I asked him if he spoke to judge about this and he said it was fine . The day of the hearing he arrived late (in a suit ) in which the judge asked him to apologize to me for his late arrival. To make matters worse he also did not bring my evidence necessary for case and had to ask judge for recess to put together whatever items he did have. Neglecting to submit the most important documents that showcase that my ex-husband has a a history of sexual deviance, aggressive behavior ,NPD. Needless to say my two girls were relocated to live with their father and forcing me to have to move out of area the kids were born and raised .
I requested multiple times for him to provide me a copy of the evidence that my ex husband submitted .He still has not provided me with these documents. I was going to let these issues go as I know no monetary benefit will come from this but if this could help just 1 person that is enough for me .
To make matters worse because I was very forgiving for his tardiness and lack of care to my case . He didn’t even have the courtesy to follow up when the final judgement was made on my case .
BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE!! I wish I had seen the reviews before working with him . Unfortunately I found him through my work benefits and did not do my due diligence to do research on him .

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.
