When my brother died without a will, I was faced with settling his very complicated estate. After reading many resumes and reviews of probate attorneys from many firms, I wrote down several names and prayed to be directed to the right one. That turned out to be April Wise. Great choice! April is a likable and easy to talk to person. She is a good listener and put this anxious, older client at ease. But, most importantly, April is a knowledgeable attorney with a sharp legal mind who is very thorough in her work. She always knows exactly what to do no matter what comes up. Along the way, she breaks down the whole process nicely for you so that you can understand all the necessary probate steps and legal time frames. Her legal secretary, Terry Hunter, is very helpful, also. I’m so thankful I was led to this wonderful attorney!

I live in Montgomery and called April for help will a will dispute. After talking to her briefly I was sure she would be an excellent choice. To my surprise when she found out the dispute was in Jefferson county she recommended another attorney who practiced in Jefferson county. She felt he would know the area judges better and be more suited for the job. I subsequently retained the attorney she recommended. She didn't make a dime and took the time and effort to help me. That's integrity, a rare commodity these days! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Attorney April Wise helped eliminated the fear and stress my wife and I thought would be included in going through the building of our Living Will to protect and provide for our children and family when the moment life might be cut short or if a sudden unforeseen emergency should arise . April's early conversation of legal assistance immediately put us at ease and her expertise not only informed us of what needed to be done but her expert legal advice was so understandable and personal that the process became a pleasant and worthwhile experience. April seemed to include all the legal information we needed to reach our personal goals for the family and we were excited to have her professionally prepare our Will... something we truly had put off for many years too long because we previously feared and chose to keep putting off what needed to be done in order to make sure our assets were properly and correctly distributed when necessary. We truly found confidence in the obvious professional experience April was providing and sharing with us. Not only did she lead our process but she made sure our personal desires were included in the document. We are proud to tell others that April Wise is an attorney you can trust and in who you can depend upon to create a Will that reflects your personal wishes to your family!

I had an ongoing issue regarding a school that closed down several years ago. I contacted attorney Miller at his office and he assured me that he would investigate the matter and get back to me. He had nothing to gain from assisting me with this matter, but he was a man of his word and he did exactly what he said. I can not at this time disclose the entirety of the situation, but he went above and beyond the call of duty to assist me with this ongoing matter. The end result was something that had been holding me back from my destiny for years he handled in days. I thank the almighty God for him and I thank Mr. Miller for being a man of noble character. God Bless you attorney Miller, Cherlisa

I have not had the opportunity to have to hire many attorney's in the past. Just one for my divorce & now Mr. Luck for a mistake I made. The best decision I ever made was retaining Mr. Luck. I never do reviews but I felt it necessary to maybe help save someone's life some day. Being a 30+ year enforcement officer I have seen nearly every attorney in this area in court room action and there are some dumba%€#@@ out there. I assure you that the legal disclosure that attorney's have to place with there ad "saying that the legal representation of this attorney in no way constitutes that the legal services performed is better than another attorney (or something in that affect)" is a whole bunch of bull%#£@&!!! Attorney's are no different than any other professional. There are much better mechanics, doctors, carpenters, and so on. So there is a vast difference in the quality & the expertise of the attorney that you hire. And let's face it, if you are hiring an attorney then your very life or way of life is on the line. Do your research & do not hire an idiot. Mr. Luck has his crap together & I would highly recommend him without question. Let's face it, usually when we need an attorney you are probably not having a very good day. You are scared, confused & it feels like your life has been turned upside down. Are you going to put your life in an idiots hands. I thank not. I was referred to Mr. Luck through a mutual friend & he came highly recommended. I am very pleased with the work & the time he has spent with me. He has always had the time to sit down with me & explain what is going on with my case. His knowledge in different areas of the law is excellent. We are still in the middle of my situation but I can tell you this, we have had 2 major & 1 minor issue come up & he has won each of them. Not only is Mr. Luck a dang good attorney, he is a very nice & humble man that actually cares for his clients. In my opinion, he is even better than advertised. So do yourself a favor if you end up needing an attorney from anything involving criminal charges to child custody / divorce and everything in between. This man will be there for you & he will fight for every ounce of your rights & then some. I am not a paid endorser. I wish I was and my legal problems would just go poof.! I am a regular person just like you & don't think it can't happen to you. We all make mistakes & when your car breaks down are you going to use that Chinese part that cost a few bucks cheaper just to only leave you on the side of the road one day? If you are like me you will fix it the right way the first time & never have any troubles with it again. Do the same when it comes to your life & hire the best man for the job & give yourself the best chance to survive. Please take this from a man that has 30+ years of experience in the legal system & knows the best when I see it. Hopefully you will never need an attorney but if you do, take it from me & call Mr. Luck. You will not be sorry. Thanks Terry, for believing in me & being there for me.

    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.

  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Montgomery, Alabama?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
