We contacted Ben to set up a trust / guardianship for our daughter and do a will and trust for my husband and I. After meeting with him three times, he completely ghosted us. No return calls or emails.
Nice guy, not sure I’d recommend him.

In an extremely timely and professional manner Mark led his team in the completion and filing of all legal documents required to set up the Woodbury Rotary Community Fund, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. Documents included by-laws, articles of incorporation, Minnesota Sales and Use Tax Exempt Certificates, and federal income tax exempt applications.
Mark also recently provided Articles of Incorporation for the Woodbury Rotary Club for the State of Minnesota.
As president and board member of the Woodbury Rotary Community fund, and a member of the board of directors of the Woodbury Rotary Club I am very impressed with Mark's professional services; he has exceeded my expectations and will be called upon for future legal requirements!

Kristin was our key legal support on Contribution matters at the Universal Service Administrative Company, aka USAC. I was the CFO at USAC, and my team and I worked with Kristin extensively on regulatory and legal issues arising from audits, assessments and appeals related to the Telecommunications companies required to contribute to the Universal Service programs. Kristin continually took a balanced approach to providing guidance that sought to balance the need to support compliance with the rules of the Universal Service programs with the need to minimize the impact on telecommunications companies who were required to contribute to the Universal Service programs.
Always professional, and always using her strong knowledge of the telecommunications regulatory environment, she was a pleasure to work with and was a key asset for USAC.

Hello,
After getting myself in a sticky situation with a dui, I was beside myself. I had so many worries of things to come. I was referred to Brian through a friend and let me just say he was a godsend. From meeting with me face to face, the morning of, and thoroughly handling my case, he completely put my mind at ease. There was never a moment he was not on top of things. Furthermore, anytime I had a question or concern, he would answer my calls or respond immediately. I cannot thank him enough for everything he did for me. I highly recommend Mr. VanMeveren and his team for their unbelievable service. If you are looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, genuine, professional, and who will answer you calls directly, Brian VanMeveren is your man.

Erin really made me feel supported when I was in a tough spot. I was so afraid of the mediation process and avoided it for much longer than I should have. But with her professionalism and guidance, I felt supported and reassured the entire time. She helped make an overwhelming process much more manageable, and I’m so grateful for her.

DO NOT!!!!! Use this firm. Complete lack of regard, zero communication, and blatant hostility from the attorney hired. This firm has caused nothing but hardship and headache for my family. I’m so disappointed and disgusted by the disgrace of this firm within the legal field, and their ability to make a hard situation even harder. If I can offer any legal advice, DO NOT USE THIS FIRM or any affiliates.

In July 2014, I hired Mr. Taylor as my attorney to represent me in my family court matter.
I deeply regret hiring Mr. Taylor.
Because of his representation, I incurred many negative consequences that I am trying to cope with today.
I attempted to resolve my issues with Mr. Taylor, but he refused.
I asked the Minnesota Office for Legal Responsibility for help, and they investigated my complaint against Mr. Taylor.
My experience with Mr. Taylor is well documented in the complaint of legal misconduct I brought against him with the Minnesota Office for Legal Responsibility, dated September 7, 2017.
The Minnesota Office for Legal Responsibility agreed with my complaint against Mr. Taylor of legal misconduct.
The office issued a decision to discipline Mr. Taylor for his misconduct in my case.
The Minnesota Office for Legal Responsibility issued a decision of private admonishment.
For more information on the specifics of Mr. Taylor’s misconduct as documented by the MN Office for Legal Responsibility investigation, and resulting decision, please inquire about this action to Mr. Taylor directly.

Mr. Taylor is seriously a miracle worker. When I hired him I was denied visitation with my child for 2 very long years. With in a few weeks I had daily phone calls with my daughter. With in two months I was reunited with my daughter and given an parenting plan schedule with over 41% custody. When my daughters mother decided to not follow that schedule we got a court date with in the next month.
With out him I still would not have met my daughter. We have a new court date coming up this week but so far I am very thankful for Mr. Taylor.
Also, I live in Florida so every part of this other than court has been done via telephone and email.
He has done a great job for our family. He is also very responsible with your retainer. I feel like any other lawyer would have eaten up my retainer alot faster but Mr Taylor was very frugal with mine.
I would highly recommend him to represent you in a family matter.

Having Mr. Taylor on my legal team is truly a blessing from God. Through his representation of a complicated family law case Mr. Taylor has continuously expressed a level of knowledge, wisdom, truth, honesty and patience beyond exceptional.
Although family law cases can seem to last for eternity, take unexpected twists and turns, spark many emotions to surface, etc., Mr. Taylor takes the time to listen and understand his clients while crafting the best possible strategy.
Of course every case and situation is different, but if you're in need of an excellent family law attorney I highly recommend you add Mr. Taylor to your team.
Thank you Mr. Taylor for representing me in my case.

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.
