We hired Carly for a pretty straight forward divorce, 11 year marriage no children, and like many reviewers before us she was a disgrace! Not only was she incompetent, so was her staff. She had office staff repeatedly requesting documents, forms, signatures all which had been provided multiple times to other staff members. So disorganized! All the while racking up billable hours. When we finally had enough and called her out, we too received a nasty letter demanding we find a new attorney as there is clearly a conflict of interest. She did this, 10 months in and just 10 days away from a crucial court date. She left us high and dry. We luckily found a fantastic attorney to replace her and 2 1/2 years later (we are just now finished with our case) actually witnessed the judge in our case, advise Ms. Croskrey (appearing before the same judge representing a different client) “you may want to stick around, Ms.Croskrey, and see how the actual pros do this!” SLAM!!

Beware of this attorney! She promises the moon and delivers on nothing! Our contract was $3000 for my case. She even crossed out the hourly charges. But due to her failure to file a response to my ex’s suit our case was not continued and she filed a new case. Never once re-discussing the charges. Then COVID hit. Delay after delay then in June we got out day in court via telephone. Come to find out Carly mistakenly forgot to file a proof of service causing the judge to become pissed and yelling at Carly for lying in court. Has she filed the proof my case would have been heard and would have been done. Nope! Carly takes the next 4 months to double my bill only to have my case settled because I found out she was charging hourly and did not adhere to our contract. I couldn’t afford to continue to fight a bogus case. My ex claimed to be on unemployment when in fact he lied and was making over 100k per year. Should have been an open and shut case. But no she couldn’t even win a case that easy. Then when she gave me the final bill it totaled $8000 for nothing! No court! No sanctions! No nothing! All because of massive delays due to her negligence! Then to top it off she sends me a signed letter of the total bill (she said she discounted) with a payment plan only to say 1 week later that she wanted to charge me full price and no payment plan by the end of the year. Luckily I had her signed letter agreeing to the terms. Once I had that she stopped all Communication with me! This lady is the worst and only wants your money. She crumbled like a wet rag in court and failed to do her job not once but twice! Do not hire this attorney

Jordan is very professional and very helpful, I would recommend him to anyone, I hired him for Family Law. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are highly satisfied with his services..from the time I first spoke to him explaining my situation he quickly took action and began to work on my case. My case took about 2yrs and Jordan was always on top of everything from beginning to the end. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to work with!

Stephen represented our business several years ago in a case we brought against a company that had not paid a contracted amount. He truly partnered with us in this case. He is an ass kicker - but in a legal and extremely professional way. Stephen defended us as a friend would. I consider him a friend - not just an attorney I have used. He won every point made in court and the Judge completely sided with us. We won that case 100% due to Steve's ability to present our case. Would highly recommend his services. Dwight Franke

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 Anaheim, California?

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.
