I don’t usually write reviews but if this helps one person I will be happy. I tried debt consolidation for 6 months and was getting collection calls and letters daily. I decided to look into bankruptcy and tried a different law firm first and the man missed my appt after they had already rescheduled once. I was frustrated so I went online and found Tim Theisen and gave him a call. After our first meeting, I felt so comfortable with him and felt better about my future. He answered all my questions and laid out everything he would need, what would happen during the process and how long it would take. He is just an all around nice guy and Amy at the office is amazing too. He sticks with you til the end. I can’t thank them enough! PS. They didn’t have any hidden fees either or anything that put up a red flag.

I had worked with another attorney before coming to see Tim. The other attorney was very aggressive and rude. I mostly talked to some one in his office and not the attorney himself. I got very little information and resistance to asking questions. It took a long time and was never completed. I left that office and was referred to Tim by a friend. The difference was like night and day. He spent time explaining things to me in great detail. I met with him directly and he answered all my questions. He was patient and kind. He was not judgmental and was sensitive to my situation. I needed to keep my car for work and he was able to do that. My job requires that I have a car. The stress had been overwhelming. My problems started with health issues and I needed to reduce my hours at work. My case was processed faster than I expected. Once it was done, I felt like I could breath again. A huge weight had been lifted. Now I can begin working on resolving my health issues. Making the decision to file was a hard decision, but Tim made it easier. He is efficient, thorough, knowledgeable and supportive.

Awesome experience from beginning to end. I had an intimidating amount of IRS debt, and no idea how to handle it. The thought of taking on the IRS by myself gave me anxiety. I had spoken with a few “settle your tax debt for pennies on the dollar” people, and not only were they extremely expensive, I felt like they were over promising and being unrealistic (Aka pay us $4k and the IRS will accept a settlement of $250 even though you own property with equity - not realistic). Tim walked me through the entire process, and was confident and knowledgeable, and told me exactly not only what filing chapter 7 could do for my situation - but what it couldn’t do. I appreciated the honesty, and would refer him and his assistant, Amy, to anyone thinking about filing for bankruptcy.

Roger represented us in a custody and visitation dispute. He handled a difficult family situation and dynamic professionally and knowledgeably. He was there for mediation and prepared for court. Filed contempt charges when the current court order was not being followed. When the stress of the situation was intense he told me to relax, that I was in good hands and he was right. We got the outcome in court we wanted.

Roger will take the time to walk you through the process of an appeal to see if it's worth your time and resources. He and his network of former staff attorneys from the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court taught me that strict compliance with the rule of law is necessary or you will waste your time and resources. This means that the record must be cited accurately, facts must be taken from the record and you must comply with all the rules. Judges do not want to be overturned. Contact Roger, so he can help you preserve your rights on appeal. He did for me.

I found Roger here on Avvo and he took on my unique and uncommon case that luckily he already had experience with. He explained things thoroughly but made no promises; he professionally provided his opinion while not guaranteeing any sort of outcome. He was very laid back and easy to talk to, unlike other attorneys that act as if they have a stick up their ass. My case took two years and several appearances in court, but we won in the end. Thanks Roger, I truly appreciate your hard work on my case.

Ms. Jacobson became involved in my case within 4 days of a serious car accident. She immediately handled the issue of my totaled car on which I still had a loan. She not only asked questions but she encouraged my participation and always returned calls and answered every question and concerns. As my case was medically complicated she also brought in an attorney who was an expert in medically complicated cases to ensure I had the best possible representation. I have no reservations referring her to anyone as she is a caring, compassionate and professional attorney.

Jessica recently assisted my family and I in a stepparent adoption for my daughter. Because of some unfortunate dynamics surrounding the biological father, I was extremely nervous going into it. Truth be told, I hindered in taking this step for many years solely out of fear. But because of Jessica, my family has been changed forever. Not only did she provide all of the legal support and knowledge necessary to make this experience successful, she offered emotional support and reassurance. After working with Jessica, I can confidently say that she genuinely cares about her clients, and if she gets the chance to represent you, will take you and your entire family sincerely into account. From start to finish, she handled our case brilliantly. With meticulous preparation and purpose, she collected and included all of the facts, continuously anticipating every element possible. She communicated with us regularly, which assisted tremendously in the alleviation of our anxiety. The day of our final hearing was outstanding. Jessica was so utterly thorough in her presentation, there was little to be questioned. She presented our case so appropriately, confirming all the reasons it should have been granted, that it was! My family is forever thankful for Jessica’s commitment to us, and how deeply her efforts have impacted us for the rest of our lives.

Wow...where do I even begin....Jessica Laleh has been nothing but a blessing! I was down and out on my luck, lost ,scared and confused. I went through a really bad divorce years ago which caused me to lose everything and most importantly custody of my son...I had no direction of what to do or what attorney to even trust at this point after many failed attempts to get my son back. That's when I hired Jessica Laleh, I was living out of state at the time but I had faith that she would turn this around and hit a homerun so I can be reunited with my son back in Miami. It wasnt easy at all but she made me feel comfortable, at ease, not stressed because I knew she was working around the clock trying to make it happen. There was times I wanted to give up because it got really really tough but she always remained confident and supportive and never gave up on me. She worked on this for over a year through ups and downs and look...She got me home finally after not being able to see my son for almost 5 years. I am the happiest dad on Gods green earth! I see my son every other weekend and speak to him everyday and enjoy the holidays and birthdays with him! Jessica Laleh is not just any Attorney, she does her job with assertiveness and doesnt hold back! My heart is full and cant thank you enough for what you did for me. I hope you keep changing lives you sure changed mine! I also want to thank Dennis Koltun and your office staff Brian, Lily for also being supportive!! All you dads out there I am living proof that you should never stop fighting for your kids!! Anything is possible with an attorney like Jessica Laleh!!!

Jessica has been a blessing. She was instrumental on preventing my children's relocation to a far away country. Her commitment, superior analytical and strategic skills, hard work, and impeccable ethical standards were all factors that ensured a great outcome. She was absolutely loyal throughout the way, but would also tell me when my expectations were unreal and would keep a reality check on everything. That made me even more confortable from the beginning, because I knew I was working with a very rational, and thorough individual. She definitely demonstrates superior communication skills that not only are very valuable in the court room, but also on your day-to-day interaction with her. I am, and will always be, very thankful to Jessica Laleh, Dennis Koltun, and their law firm for the results, their excellent service, and the care and loyalty in which they handled me as a client. I dealt with other lawyers prior to her and can guarantee that she stands way above them.

Sherine has been an enormous help to me during a high conflict and difficult time. She is both professional and incredibly thoughtful and I am so grateful to her for her understanding and patience with her clients like myself. She makes me feel safe and taken care of. She has invested personal time in reaching out to me to ensure things are going smoothly with my case and problem-solve whatever comes my way. I can't say enough good things about her. She's got you covered on the legal side of things, but also just makes you feel like you're being genuinely cared for by a friend. She is strong-mannered, detail oriented, and I've heard her be compared to a shark (in the best way) while in court. I also appreciate how strongly she advocates for those having trouble fighting for themselves. I can only hope that more people who are struggling find her because she is such an incredible resource.

How do you beat the best offense? By paying attention! Having a keen eye with a quick response. In my case, I got lucky to have an attorney who actually cares about me and the best interest for My family. Best part about Sherine is that she will quickly find the hidden secrets Lingering in the dark. Don’t be shy or scared to tell her everything. That’s why she’s there. To protect you. To help you. To be your shining light at the end of the tunnel. Don’t go to war with this attorney. YOU’LL LOSE.

Carolyn Wagner represented me during an unusually difficult divorce. My ex cycled through four separate attorneys between the divorce, child custody and financial disputes. She was essentially responsible for bring each of these new players up to speed with what had already transpired. I am certain that it was frustrating for her. Yet she never wavered. She was a picture of professionalism, kept me continually informed, never hesitated to answer my questions, and always returned my calls promptly. I was made to feel that my problems were her problems as well. She showed empathy and a personal interest in my case. I am not an easy person to impress. She impressed me. I will continue to use her for any future legal needs and have happily recommended her to my closest friends and family.

I am a client of R&A and we just wrapped up a post-divorce case where the adversary got stomped. Everything the opposing party asked for got denied outright AND I was awarded attorney's fees. Amy K., and her team, gave her the business in a convoluted jurisdiction case wrought with lies by compiling and filing THOROUGH documents and information necessary to prove our case. It's not enough to believe you are right, you have to prove it with evidence within the confines of the lens the court is looking through. R&A did exactly that. I wholeheartedly recommend R&A for family law matters.

My wife and I could not be happier and are truly grateful for the services provided by Mr. Joseph Wahl and his staff Lisa and Sophie. We live in Texas and were in immediate need of legal representation for our visitation petition case in the state of Delaware. We reached out to several firms in Delaware but their responses felt somewhat less personal. Mr. Wahl, on the other hand, leaned in to what we had to say and came up with the blueprint of our case shortly after our initial consultation. By our second teleconference, he walked us through exactly what to expect and what to prepare to better present our case before the court. As with most legal cases, our petition was no walk in the park. It turned into a 15-month journey as it was punctuated by counterclaims (PFA) and, of course, the 2020 pandemic with our mediation and court hearings rescheduled to online sessions. Mr. Wahl was professional, transparent with our bills, calm, and reassuring all along. With his expertise and experience in family lawsuits, he defended our case backed by court evidence against claims and demands by our respondent. His response to our communications and requests - either by phone or email - was prompt and explained with clarity in layman's terms. Because of Mr. Wahl's dedication and good intentions, together with his exceptional team, the court finally ruled in our favor and justice prevailed. To be clear, we would have written the same exact review regardless of the outcome being favorable or not. We happened to be the luckier ones this time. My wife and I would absolutely recommend without reservations Wahl Family Law to anyone seeking professional, personal, friendly, speedy, and stellar family law services and expertise.

I only have the highest of praise and gratitude for Corey McKenna. He was assigned to my son’s case as a public defender, and went above and beyond what we expected. The issues all evolved from my son’s long-time addictions. Corey worked hard with the district attorney’s office to get my son into a long-term rehab. Corey followed his case, kept in touch with me and my son throughout his three-month incarceration and six-month rehab. My son graduated from rehab after six months, a changed person. I am grateful for Corey’s professionalism, hard work, follow-up with us and his sincere caring for his clients. I feel like he had a part in saving his life. Dawn Doiron

Through unfortunate events, I had the opportunity to work with Corey on some very pressing matters with my freedom on the line. If anyone is actually reading this and wanting to know information that will help you make a decision choosing representation, I can only share this- He cares. I don’t have years and years of experience needing an attorney. While seeking representation, I immediately felt he had my back and showed me empathy. Within the limits of the law and also what’s right vs wrong, Corey consistently treated me with dignity and respect while also giving me the facts without fluffing things up or pushing me in a direction that would further his career. There are self-absorbed people that walk this earth just like there are self-absorbed attorneys that play “the game” as I would call it. Let’s face it, it’s all about money and control in the court system. I gave Corey five stars because he earned it. Whether you’re facing a slap on the wrist or severe consequences, I can assure you that using Corey and his firm, you will be just as fortunate as I was.

I went through a lengthy divorce process that was very difficult, and full of a lot of acrimony. I interviewed a dozen family law attorneys, and took copious notes. Traci stood out above the rest. I felt her approach to be the most honest and sincere. My experience was validated as I worked with her. As I worked with Traci, I found her communication style simply outstanding. She always kept me apprised of what was happening, and was very easy to reach. I was never in a position of not knowing what was happening. If you anticipate a lot of difficulty with your case, you want someone like Traci on your side. She did wonders to lower my anxiety. Let's face it, hiring a lawyer is expensive. And hiring a family law lawyer can quickly add up when the process is as lengthy as it was for me. Traci's billing was thorough and honest. She leverages her team to bring down the costs.

My experience with Lauren Fair of Fair Cadora Family Law is that she is a true professional, extremely capable, efficient and was both connected to and invested in my case … which was the Registration of a Foreign Support Order, from a foreign country. After contacting Fair Cadora, Lauren Fair returned my phone call within one hour. I was heading back overseas, however, upon my return in May 2018, I contacted Lauren again, this time with all my documents and asked the question, “Can I do this?” She must have spent some hours going through all my documents and wrote back – Yes, we can do this. This gave me hope! My contact with Ms. Fair was always quick and to the point and extremely professional and informed. She clearly knew what she was talking about. I also felt that she empathized with my situation. I also felt like she gave me her full attention. This gave me more hope! I felt that I could trust her judgment without question and in fact I absolutely trusted her at her word. I had a positive outcome to my case which is due fully to the efficient handling of my case by Ms. Fair and her associate Lindsay Sudman. I am forever grateful for my experience with Ms. Fair. Clearly at Fair Cadora they are a fine tuned team! I feel super lucky to have “found” Fair Cadora Family Law.

I was very happy with my experience at FFLS. My now Ex and I went through Mediation with Laura and I was impressed by how simple and logical she made the process. All communications were timely, all instructions were clear and she really helped make what could have been a very difficult situation much easier by being great to work with. I was so happy with the work she did to help us through the mediation process that I actually went back to the firm to help me with another separate civil matter. Once again, I was extremely satisfied with the representation I received. The case was not an easy one, and it took a lot of communication and coordination, but the quality of the attorneys (I worked with two including Laura) and staff at FFLS lead to a positive outcome. The bottom line is that I would highly recommend Family Focused Legal Solutions -and Laura specifically - to anyone going through a divorce or other civil matter where legal representation is required. They are good people and they will work hard for you!

I highly highly recommend Family Focused Legal Solutions. I am going through a very complicated divorce. With the help of Laura Lipp, Michele Levin, and Sofia Ucles they have helped ease my transition through this very difficult time in my life. These ladies are kind, professional, problem-solving oriented, and truly look out for the best interest of their clients. Each one has a vastly unique personality, but they are top notch lawyers and truly a credit to their profession. They advise, listen, and assist. They are very thorough in answering your questions, and they go above and beyond at all times. If you are going through a difficult divorce there is NO other team I would advise you to use. I have received SUCH amazing legal care that I have cried happy tears on more than one occasion. There is no better team out there!

Although I retained another lawyer through Laura Ruvolo Lipp’s law practice, I have had conversations with her regarding my case and cannot express just how professional and caring she is. She thoroughly went through the entire process of my case and took time out to also help me emotionally through the tough areas of reliving a difficult time in my life. I trusted her compassion and professionalism and because I did, I was able to be fully trusting of my retained lawyer and have a positive outcome in my case. I would highly recommend her and her practice to those looking for a family lawyer.

Having Stephen represent me in my Child Custody case was the best decision I have ever made. His professionalism, attention to detail and knowledge, let alone his high moral character and ethics, helped me win my case for my son at a time when I almost lost all hope.

Stephen helped with a case my ex wife brought to OCCS after 30 years falsely claiming I owed back child support. He was very thorough and explained everything to us on our level. His presentation in court with all of the facts and his knowledge I believe helped make a quick decision by the court in our favor.

Steve represented me during a separation with my wife but our goal together was to save our family and find a solution that did not include divorce. Steve believes in preserving the family and was awesome throughout our proceedings eventually earning the respect of my wife which ultimately led to saving our marriage. Steve was very empathetic during the process and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Kelli Mitchell is an outstanding attorney! She by far exceeded my every expectation, both as a masterful attorney and as an epic human being. Having her by my side through my divorce process changed my life completely. I was pretty worn down when I found Kelli. For financial reasons, I had been trying to represent myself for about 6 months in a very complex military divorce situation, and I was in jeopardy of losing everything. Luckily, I was able to get a loan from a friend and retain Kelli’s services. Kelli’s representation instantly provided safe shelter for me and my daughter from what felt like relentless and unjust attacks from opposing counsel. Not only did Kelli turn everything around legally, but she stepped in with a deep presence of compassionate witnessing that was immeasurably healing to my broken heart. She had an incredible understanding of what I had been through and what I was facing. Kelli and I worked together for over 2 years because of extenuating case circumstances and delays from Covid-19. In that time, Kelli was impeccable in her communication and representation. She dealt with what I felt was out-of-line behavior from opposing counsel with incredible integrity, patience, and fairness. Through many ups and downs, Kelli remained steady in faith and always delivered on her word. One thing I especially appreciate and another place where healing occurred for me was that when she provided solid guidance, she always trusted me to make the calls that felt aligned with my heart. She never took that power away from me and this increased my self-confidence by leaps and bounds. Kelli helped me rebuild my sense of trust and faith in myself, in life, and in humanity. I would never speak about divorce in the sense of winning anything, but Kelli helped me see that I could win my sense of self back and I think that speaks volumes about the person she is. My hope when hiring Kelli was that my daughter and I would make it through the divorce process. What I could never have imagined was that we would not only make it through but arrive to the other side healed and whole. I find myself in tears of gratitude as I write this. Kelli is a rare gem in the world of attorneys. She definitely has a unique magic, strength, wisdom, depth, compassion, generosity, and love of humanity about her that is awe-inspiring. I feel incredibly blessed to know her and recommend her with the highest regard to anyone seeking legal representation with healing as an added bonus.

Ms. Mitchell and her staff are nothing short of amazing. They are hard working, detailed oriented and out of the box thinkers which goes a long way in family law, especially when dealing with less than cooperative individuals on the other side. Ms. Mitchell strives to provide her clients with the best service and does so with such grace. You can’t go wrong hiring Ms. Mitchell to represent you, even in the most complicated case.

I was recommended to Andrea from an a colleague. Andrea did a fantastic job in representing me and getting me through the pitfalls that divorces always create. Andrea was such a professional as we went through the Collaboration Process. I could talk to her any time during the day and even weekends. She understood me and helped me throughout a very difficult time. She fought vigorously on my behalf but also advised me when to just let the issue drop. Andrea always was thinking several steps ahead of the process. i would highly recommend Andrea.

Andrea Morgan saved me. Divorce (especialy with children) Is a difficult time for anyone that goes through this process. Andrea was my second attorney on my case. My case should have been a landslide my direction after six or eight weeks with another attorney things were not going my direction like the should have been, I luckly saw the writing on the wall. After doing extensive research I called several attorneys including Morgan Divorce. After my consult it was clear Andrea and her team were the one, knowledgeable, ruthless and caring, difficult to find all three of those qualities in an attorney. She took on the difficult task of taking over a case mid stream against one of the most difficult and unrealistic attorneys in Orlando. She was very easy to work with, she listened and cared what I had to say, we worked together on direction and she shut me down when I was going off off-course. She helped get me the quick resolution (difficult with this opposing counsel) I wanted with a fair and acceptable result. In addition I felt Morgan Divorce was very fair with fees and did not use creative billing like some attorneys. I have already referred her to personal friends and will continue so. I could not have expected any more she worked hard and got the deserved results. From the bottom of my heart I thank Morgan Divorce

I worked with Amy and Allan during my divorce mediation. They responded to all inquiries and concerns promptly. They were both present during all of our meetings, outlined the process clearly, and were efficient in drafting all necessary paperwork. They even walked us through what we could expect in court and it made what could have been a very uneasy experience very manageable. I feel like I have a trusted contact for future legal matters.

There is no question that divorce is a traumatic life event, even under the best of circumstances. Being able to rely on Amy & Allan's experience and guidance through this process allowed us to create a in-depth, equitable and flexible agreement that maintains a strong mutual respect for one another. I would highly recommend Baron Law to anyone considering mediation. This husband & wife team are professional, caring, comprehensive, and take the long view for creating a new relationship. They helped put process and expectations around a situation filled with anxiety. Sometimes your happily ever after turns out to be different than what you imagined but being able to turn to professionals like Amy & Allan to help find the best solution for all parties involved was absolutely invaluable.

She has an expansive resume and many years of experience as a family attorney so she’s seen it all. A lot of times she was able to finish my sentences when explaining my legal troubles. Attorney Matta is also extremely fair when it comes to payment, and she worked with me which was nice.

Going through a divorce was one of the most stressful times in my life. I was scared, feeling cornered, and in a financial pickle. Darin and his team made everything super easy and manageable. He listened, he validated, and gave valuable feedback on each line item. I was very thorough in my search for an attorney since my case involved some complications. My divorce ended up being contested and then appealed. We went to court several times and Darin shined every time! For the amount of work he put in he was was very reasonably priced! I spoke to many attorneys, have friends that are attorneys, and even worked with one prior to finding him, that’s how I know Darin is a gem! Hire him! Not all heros wear capes!

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  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. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving 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 are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

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:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

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

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
