I was in a dispute with a private disability company a few years back and Scott’s help was absolutely invaluable to my win in the dispute. Throughout the years Scott would help out in this matter from time to time and I sincerely credit his help as the biggest factor in keeping me from feeling totally alone in the dispute. If you’ve never been in a situation where it’s you against a well established insurance company, it can easily feel like a David vs Goliath situation at times. Though having Scott around I was always sure he’d never let said insurance company get away with anything ridiculous. I’d easily recommend Fegley Law Firm to anyone in need of legal help. Hiring Scott was easily the best decision I made in regards to the whole matter. I couldn’t have done it alone. Thanks Scott!

When I contacted Scott Fegley, I was totally panicked about a Performance Improvement Plan I received at work. I am so grateful for a couple of peers that suggested I contact him. He kept me positive and productive at work while he did all the heavy-lifting. My outcome was absolutely fantastic. I was able to walk away from a horrible manager with my dignity and a very decent package. I would use his services again in a heartbeat if needed!

As a transactions attorney who needed representation on a UC matter, Scott was highly recommended to me. He did an excellent job at a reasonable fixed fee. The result could not have been better, as I won on all counts.

David is young, energetic and although newer to his practice eager to help and resolve your situation or lead you in the right direction. Best part he answers the phone or returns your call very quickly not like many I have used in the pass. New firm is usually more hungry for success and steps up to make sure clients get best customer service to become repeat clients. That was my experience with David.

Im happy and i will refer Stark and Stark to other accident clients. Thank You . ☺️☺️☺️☺️

My case needed to go to court for elder issue. Henry was a disaster. He came unprepared . When he was asked to address witnesses he stalled so much that the judge had to constantly prompted him. Never did any research. Never prepared our witness, told just keep talking.
Yes, we lost our case because of him.

- 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.

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:

- 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.
