Frazier & Deeter’s Business Beat: John Herbert, Herbert Legal Group

John Herbert of Herbert Legal Group joined this edition of Business Beat with host Roger Lusby to discuss his legal and strategic advisory practice, both domestic and international. John shared what he sees with commercial real estate activity in North Fulton, his work on various investment projects in Africa, assisting international investors in buying U.S. real estate, and much more. Business Beat is presented by Alpharetta CPA firm Frazier & Deeter.

Herbert Legal Group

From the smallest start-up to the industry giant, legal solutions are no longer a luxury. Whether it is that one incident that requires intense legal representation or simply issues that arise naturally in the day-to-day business context, companies need a law firm that is on their side.

Herbert Legal Group wants to be an integral member of your business team. Nothing splits up a team more than that unexplained, surprise invoice for services clients were not expecting, did not approve of, or did not understand. Time-based billing creates a wall of separation between team members which can hamper even the best working relationship. So Herbert Legal Group delivers solutions, not minutes.

John Herbert, Principal, Herbert Legal Group

John Herbert has been practicing law since 1994. In 2013 he decided to transform my practice and the way legal services are delivered to small and medium-sized businesses.

He realized that he was missing out on opportunities because people were afraid to call out of fear that the clock would be running, and they would be hit with a huge bill for his time. At the same time, companies were missing critical legal services out of fear.

Herbert Legal Group’s biggest competition is not other law firms. Their biggest competition is business owners doing nothing. Herbert Legal will take that call. They will take that meeting. If they cannot offer you a solution during that time, then that time is on them. At least you will trust them enough to call them next time.

They are business owners just like you and understand the opportunities and challenges of building something lasting and important. HLG cannot commit to open-ended invoicing from their service providers either. They measure their resources and employ them in a way that creates value for the clients first and the company second. Sound familiar? They treat you the way you want to be treated.

Linda Coyle, Incoming 2022 Chair, Milton Business Council, and Business Development Officer, LGE Community Credit Union

**Linda Coyle, Business Development Officer, LGE Community Credit Union**

Linda Coyle started as a teacher and moved from education to business development. She has been in that role with LGE Community Credit Union since 2016.

In 1951, seven Lockheed Georgia employees dreamed of a better way to bank and LGE Community Credit Union was born. Today they serve communities in Northwest Georgia as a not-for-profit financial institution. Unlike a bank, whose profits go to its shareholders, their profits go to their members in the form of better rates and lower fees. They are guided by a strong commitment to provide a better financial future for our members.

Everyone who lives or works in Bartow, Cherokee, Cobb, Fulton, and Paulding counties is eligible to apply for membership, as are employees of many companies. Family members of existing members are also eligible.

Since 2010, LGE has invested over $1.45 million in the lives of those in the community including children, homeless, abuse victims, and those that fall on hard times. Not only is there a monetary contribution but LGE staff members volunteer over 2,600 hours in the community annually. Additionally, we partner with schools in the local communities through our Partners in Education platform. Continued efforts show why LGE Community Credit Union continues to be a fabric of the community.
