I was recommended to Buescher Law Group through my sister’s friend at work and after hearing about his experience I knew I had to give them a call. Before coming to Buescher Law Group I was in the dark about the whole process of pursuing 50/50 custody for my son. With having done some research of my own online, one with little experience on the situation, it was easy to become overwhelmed. The next week I was in the office for my consultation. Right from the start I knew Jan Buescher was our lawyer. Her confident yet calm demeanor was refreshing. Her knowledge and past experience on the situation put my worries at ease. I walked out of there and said to my girlfriend, “She’s our lawyer.” Jan and her team at Buescher Law were very supportive throughout the whole process and were quick to call or email back if questions came up and needed answered. With an unusual work schedule, they had no problems working around it. The day of court is one I will never forget. Jan was able to get us everything we were looking for with ease. I finally had my son 50/50 with no questions asked, upon other request. It was a new start for my family and the feeling we had leaving the court house was indescribable. I could not thank Jan and the wonderful people at Buescher Law group enough for their outstanding work. The experience is one I will never forget and will always come back if need be, without hesitation. I’d like to thank Jan Buescher and the amazing people with her at Beuscher Law. Without their incredible work and endless effort put towards my case I don’t know where my family and I would be today. Now we have the time we deserve without any interruptions and are enjoying every minute. I would and will continue to recommend Jan and the Buescher Law Group to anyone who needs help as I did. There will be no disappointments. thank you, Bruce

I had a very sticky situation. I feared for my safety and my daughters life because of the very unsteady history her father put us all through. From the moment I met Jan and began to work with her my fears were put to rest. I had the confidence that she and her team would do what was best for me and my innocent child. She reassured me of my rights as a wife and mother, my ability to parent alone and the fact that filing for divorce was the best decision for me. I met with Jan 2 months before I separated from my husband and she was so right when she said that I would "wake up one day and know that it was over". That was the day that I called her, ready for her to represent me and help me in this process. Divorce is not easy, it's sticky and heartbreaking.. But Jan and Alicia did everything they could to make it easy for me and the family that supported me. It was a long 15 months but it is over. Alicia was amazing in making sure I was aware of what was going on, what could happen and what to do when... and Jan worked so hard in the court room to give me the outcome I was hoping for and I will forever be grateful for them both. I would gladly (and have already!) recommend anyone I know who needs representation in family court to Jan and her team at Buescher Law Group because I was so happy with how I was treated as a client there. Not only was I treated with respect but I gained relationships there that I know I will be able to depend on in the future.

Jan handled my post Decree matter several months ago. My ex-husband made my life and the lives of my children a living hell! Jan took over, had the court appoint professionals to assist in parenting issues and things calmed down. I cannot thank her enough.

Although I did not retain Marcos as council he was very helpful in regards to pointing me in the right direction and where to start in filing a case myself. I wouldn't hesitate to have Marcos as council if I had the money to hire attorney. Marcos gave me the impression that he cared more about his clients more so than money he would earn from taking on the case. He's more about turning a wrong into a right and standing up for the little guy. If you're looking for an attorney that goes the extra mile and puts you ahead of the almighty dollar, Marcos is your attorney! Thank you Marcos, appreciate your guidance!

Joel, is currently working on my divorce and has been amazing. He has walked me down the windy road, which was unexpectedly windy. If you want someone who is fair and honest call Joel. FYI: His costs have been fair & reasonable, he will listen and not always let the meter run.

What Questions Should I Ask Before Hiring a Lawyer?

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  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.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What challenges do you foresee in my case?
    Understanding potential obstacles helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to resolve my legal issue?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Mesa, Arizona?

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.
