Mr. Grant represent me in a state tax audit matter. Mr. Grant was able to present the facts to the NC Dept. of Revenue that I did not owe them $20,000 plus in unpaid taxes. Although the State Dept. of Revenue attempted to continue on their witch hunt into my personal financial life, Mr. Grant was able to nip their fishing expedition in the bud by clearly arguing that my income was earned in another state. Mr. Grant is a true advocate for small business owners like myself.

I had debt collectors harassing me for money, I just wanted them to stop. Mr. Grant not only stopped them he sued them and I received a check in the mail. They had to stop reporting on my credit report. He is one of the best lawyers I have dealt with.

I have known Mr. Krenek for many years. He represented our company as our corporate attorney and has represented me personally in a complicated legal matter. The results were better than I ever hoped. He was always great to work with on our corporate issues, he kept us informed, was always on track and focused on the end result. He has prevailed against hostile judges and the legal system when it appeared there was no way to win.

I retained Paul Walker, Esq after the previous attorneys at a large Manhattan-based firm that I had retained for an OPMC matter were pressuring me to sign an agreement that was internally inconsistent and contradictory. Upon meeting Paul, I knew immediately that I should have hired him from the beginning. He was extraordinarily knowledgeable, articulate, diplomatic, and empathetic. However, his greatest strength was his honesty. He listened to all of my concerns and he told me my options truthfully and explained every possibility to me so that I could truly make an informed decision as to how to proceed. I cannot emphasize how grateful I am to him for his advice and advocacy of my case. He achieved a result that my prior attorneys told me was impossible and for that, I will be eternally indebted to him. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul for any state medical board issue as he is truly unparalleled in his field.

He prepares you well and anticipates all relevant issues that could come up. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs legal assistance in a matter being reviewed by the state medical board.

Although it may appear that this top rating seems a bit high on the mark, I can state with certainty that Jerry Merola is the real deal when it comes to bankruptcy cases. I was a newbie to the bankruptcy process, nor had I worked with a lawyer before, but Merola + his team walked me through it step by step without leaving me feeling befuddled in any way. Communication was constant, clear, and prompt (esp. via email), and I was well prepped to know what to expect + respond at court. As long as I did my share of the work properly, Merola + his team made sure they did theirs.

Dave represented me against the Washington Dept of Financial Inst and did a great job. He discovered and pointed out the misrepresentation of facts that the dept came up with and when he was done with them, the gentleman that brought up the charges took another job. He was very open with me about the chances of winning or settling and left it up to me. I appreciated that fact that he would go to hearing and not insist that I settle with them. under the circumstances, I really enjoyed my time with him and he made me feel confident that I was making the right decision. Of course I would highly recommend him.

I think David is a top notch attorney and I would highly reccommend him. I would give him a 5 star overall rating, but his knowlege of the financial industry is just outstanding. He probable knows more about the industry than most of the professionals who work in the industry. Also his ability to thnk on his feet while questioning witnesses was most impressive. Should I ever need an attorney again, I would hire David without question.

My husband and I were nervous about the guardianship process. We had heard horror stories of the lengthy process and the hoops they make people jump through. I cannot begin to tell you what having such a professional, pleasant group of individuals helping us with this has meant to our family. From the receptionist to the paralegals, we just don't think we have met a nicer group of people. Dan himself is just such a quality individual and having him in our corner made everything so easy. We definitely recommend this office for anyone involved in guardianship and estate planning. We will be back with our own needs. Thanks so much!

I am an attorney myself, so you can likely imagine that I am a hard customer when it comes to selecting counsel. But, to put together an estate plan and trusts for my family, I did not want an amateur, and I did not want just anyone. Mr. Goodsell first came to my attention when I met one of his associates, for whom I developed a deep level of respect. Well, the professional apple does not fall far from the tree, and Mr. Goodsell impressed me deeply with his knowledge, responsiveness, and attention to educating me as a client. I am proud to have retained him, and I am delighted with what he has provided to us thus far. When a lawyer recommends his own lawyer to you, you ought to take that with some weight.

Justin represented me in an accident/injury case. He is truly an above-and-beyond attorney. He was proactive rather than reactive, compassionate, empathetic, friendly, honest, and patient with my questions. He is also tenacious and exhibited a work ethic that was simply jaw-dropping. In addition, he took steps to minimize unnecessary costs in order to maximize my the funds I received from the settlement.

If there was perfect attorney and human being all wrapped in one, it would be Jason. Jason took over as my counsel with a very stressful case. Not only was he compassionate, knowledgeable and kind he actually appeased all my concerns. He was transparent. This was during the beginning of the pandemic and amidst all the uncertainty Jason was able to guide and reassure me through tough times. Please consider him. He is an excellent trial lawyer. He is logical, tough, smart, and honest. That's the counsel you need. Thank you Jason!

In 2014 I had an income of a little over $40K. Also in that year, the Nonprofit I worked for as a consultant decided to dissolve and move it's assets to the local community foundation. The community foundation decided to use it's own staff to perform the mission of the now dissolved nonprofit and so I lost my job. In the months that followed, I was unable to find employment at that same level of compensation so lived on the income I had generated in 2014, leaving me with 4 figure tax obligations to the IRS, the State and 3 figure obligation to the City. With my current income at just above $14K, I was truly frightened to even engage any of these entities in a repayment discussion. I contacted South West Michigan Legal Service who referred me to Mr. Toft. Mr. Toft agreed to take my case. Over the weeks that Mr. Toft represented me, he thoroughly explained to me the circumstances of my situation with each entity so I could make fully informed decisions regarding the arrangement I would enter into. He talked with very unkind, uncooperative and even threatening representatives from the IRS. He successfully negotiated payment plans that I can meet based on my current financial situation. Most important to me is that he listened to me and respected and represented me to people I would have no skill to talk with in a reasonable way. He treated me with kindness and dignity at a time when I was not feeling very good about the circumstances in which I found myself. His knowledge of the incredible intricacy of tax law on the Federal, State and Local is extremely extensive. His resolution to my tax debts left me confident I can fulfill my obligations without fear of negative action from the any of the taxing authorities. I highly recommend Thomas H. Toft as a person and tax attorney.

From day one, Tom had my best interest in mind. He spent a lot of time educating me throughout the entire process of removing my name from numerous fraudulent loans. We talked frequently, with many phone calls and in-person meetings to discuss every step, record, and update from both the loan companies and credit bureaus. There was not, at any point, a time where I was not confident that I had the right person working with me to alleviate the headaches and stress of dealing with such a large amount of money and how it could affect my family. Over the nearly year-long process, Tom was able to help me remove all (numerous organizations and 10+ fraudulent loans), from my name and had them corrected by the loan companies, and removed and blocked by the credit bureaus. He is one of the truly genuine people out there and I feel fortunate to have had Tom working on my behalf.

I had an issue with a contractor who had done some work incorrectly that needed to be repaired. They clearly let me know that they were not financially responsible for the issue.

I went to Mr Schofner when my Dad's health was starting to fail to help me sort out what I needed to be aware of, not knowing anything about wills or probate matters. He was very knowledgeable and helpful with all my questions and concerns. When my Dad passed away, the process went smoothly. But most of all Mr. Schofner was compassionate and caring during such a difficult time. Now I use him as I need to make sure all my legal matters are in place as I get older.
I highly recommend him.

As an attorney myself, I am very particular about whom I would hire for my own family. I worked with Ted Schofner to represent my 87-year-old father in evaluating a care program that would take into account his needs as he continues to age. Ted is extremely sensitive to the elderly and their families and the challenges they face. I have every confidence in Ted's professional competence, and recommend his services without reservation.

I am happy to say that I was very pleased with my experience with the O'Donnell Law Firm. My attorney, Karen Sheehan, was very knowledgeable and responded to emails and calls promptly.

We are very appreciative and as a result would highly recommend Karen, and would seek her assistance in the future if needed.

Attorney Sheehan was more than strong representation, but a compassionate heart with an open ear. From the beginning of my time working with her, I knew I was in good hands. She checked in frequently, made sure I was prepared when I needed to be and always accommodated to my schedule. In the final bows of my lawsuit, she fought hard to get me a more than reasonable award for the incident I suffered.
I 100% recommend her to anyone that experiences a situation like mine!

We hired Gary to help manage corporate litigation needs. We found his service to be exceptionally professional and efficient. He helped us navigate a complex HR issue with a firm grasp of the laws involved but also the personal nuances this case had. Gary showed us a dedication and tenacity I didn't think a small firm like ourselves could afford. I would recommend him in any legal capacity as not only a capable steward for your legal needs but an incredibly honest individual of whom you can place your confidence.

A few years ago I contacted Ms. Djordjeski as a recommendation from a friend for some house leasing issues I was having. She was hired by my husband and I to review our lease and help settle some disputes between us and our landlord at the time. She was super educated, eloquent and down to business.

I can not rave about Sierra Butler at Butler Elder Law enough. Sierra helped my family and I through an extremely difficult time in our lives. We had two other lawyers who had neglected to do their jobs accurately and had failed to file important documents in a timely matter. I was panicking and stressed and Sierra came through in a big way. She literally fixed everything for us. We had a complicated situation and what started out as something we thought was going to take multiple court visits and multiple pleadings ended up being handled quickly and efficiently by Sierra. She was patient and kind and thorough in her explanations. She knew her what she was talking about and after the first conversation with her, I knew we'd picked the right lawyer. She was always easily accessible, both on the phone and through email, and got back with me promptly. All of these are things we had not experienced with our other lawyers. I can say without conviction that you will not be disappointed with her.

Attorney Ortega is an extremely knowledgeable lawyer. She is very methodical right from the get go, and collects as much information as possible to make your case rock solid. She then provides alternatives and recommends the best course of action. I followed her recommendation on a case against debt collectors, and she was able to achieve very favorable results. The payout I received couldn't have come at a better time. What complements her legal knowledge is a genuine sense of empathy and concern for folks going through rough times. Her fees are very fair. She's very good at responding to emails and promptly keeps you posted on the progress of the case. Overall, I'd highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable, responsive and knowledgeable attorney.

Ms. Ortega helped defend me against a debt collection lawsuit from Midland Funding LLC. This lawsuit was the first time I had sought legal help.
During my initial meeting, I was already high-strung from thinking about this case. My first impression of Ms. Ortega was that she is experienced and knowledgeable with this type of litigation, and that she commands a strong presence of confidence. I also felt the price for representation was extremely fair. Ms. Ortega even supplied me with very responsive pro bono contacts. After taking day to decide with my spouse, I retained Ms. Ortega.
Ms. Ortega made of point of saying she could only recommend certain courses of action and that she could not guarantee any particular result. The strength with which she emphasized this threw me a bit. My spouse, however, had had a lot of experience with legal proceedings as a guardian ad litem and told me this type of language was very common. My spouse also felt Ms. Ortega was extremely confident and signaled she could definitely take some positive action on this case. Therefore, I was fortunate to see not only the legal disclaimers but also into the confidence behind them, from a different lens.
I felt Ms. Ortega was clear in communicating the process of the case and what information she needed from me. From my perspective, the case was initially a very emotional situation. Before the outcome, I reflected that I was fortunate to connect with Ms. Ortega for help in this matter and that I was benefiting from the best representation possible. Through Ms. Ortega's work, the case was dismissed with prejudice so Midland cannot re-file the case against me.

Sean was knowledgeable and helped guide me through a process that was new to me, getting me the best treatment for my injuries as well as ample compensation for my pain in the form of settlement. I would definitely recommend Sean to anyone else facing personal injury strifes. He cares about his clients and works hard to make sure they are justly served.

What a Consumer Protection Lawyer Can Do for You
A consumer protection lawyer specializes in safeguarding individuals from unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices. These lawyers advocate for the rights of consumers in disputes with businesses, helping clients recover damages related to fraud, defective products, false advertising, or violation of consumer protection laws. They work to enforce laws that prevent businesses from taking advantage of consumers and ensure that businesses adhere to fair practices.
Whether you’ve been the victim of a scam, sold a faulty product, or misled by false advertising, a consumer protection lawyer can help you navigate legal options and pursue justice.
When Should I Hire a Consumer Protection Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a consumer protection lawyer when you’ve encountered unfair or illegal business practices and need legal assistance to resolve the situation. Common scenarios include:
- Fraud or deceptive business practices: If a company misled you into purchasing a product or service under false pretenses, a lawyer can help you seek compensation.

How Are Consumer Protection Lawyers Paid?
Consumer protection lawyers typically use different fee structures depending on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:
- Contingency fee: For many consumer protection cases, such as class actions or product liability claims, lawyers may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win or settle the case, taking a percentage (typically between 25% and 40%) of the awarded amount.
- Hourly rate: For more complex cases or ongoing legal disputes, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a contract or filing a small claim, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all the necessary legal work.
- Retainer fee: For clients needing ongoing legal assistance, some lawyers may charge a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on the case.
It’s important to discuss fees upfront with your lawyer to understand how you’ll be charged and to avoid unexpected costs.
