I was referred to Dan by another trusted attorney and thank goodness because I think it would be difficult to find the best just by going "to the phone book" aka online. I've worked with Dan and his firm on a couple of family law occasions and he was highly responsive, professional, and overall very reasonable for the value provided. He didn't every abuse time or make you feel "on the clock" but rather worked efficiently to solve the issues at hand, and worked in a very good timeline for the results that I had hoped to accomplish. Highly recommend him and his firm for family law.

Any custody case can be difficult, but with a narcissist you will be in for one of the most painful, stressful and expensive rides of your life. I knew I needed the best. I chose Dan - after meeting with several attorneys - because he actively listened to my needs and wants and responded intelligently. He also didn’t just tell me what I wanted to hear. His view was informed and balanced. I knew, no matter how willing I was to compromise, I was in for a battle. I needed an attorney who would take the high road but would also be aggressive when need be. Dan is honest, seasoned and smart. I am extremely happy with my decision to work with him and with the job he has done representing me. Dan zeroed in on the immediate significant issues for me and my small child, as well as the future I wanted to build for us. After many years of squabbling with a narcissist and getting lost in crazy-making circles of disagreement with no resolution, I needed a plan in writing that we both agreed to. I got that and I was pleased with it. It took a lot of negotiation (because the other side created barriers) but in the end it was well worth it. Dan also did an excellent job of distinguishing the limits of the law. Many times he encouraged compromise where appropriate and he repeatedly encouraged me to only pursue what a judge would uphold. Throughout my case he was an advocate and helped me avoid court for some time. However, in the end, because of the other side, it was unavoidable. Dan was incredibly well prepared for the trial, and he did a phenomenal job. He argued fairly and intelligently; he is a quick thinker and he didn’t miss a beat. We were successful on every single issue. This outcome makes an enormous impact on my child’s life. I would definitely want to work with him in the future and I have already recommended him to friends and colleagues. Dan has decades of experience. He is also empathetic and has fair billing practices. Top-notch professional and decent human.

I'm not writing this review after realizing how grateful and fortunate I am now that my legal crisis has finally ended. I am writing to give the sincerest appreciation I can for the tireless efforts given by Dan Margolin and his entire staff for defending me against the most hostile, untrue, dishonest, calculating and devious attacks that anyone should ever have to be exposed to in one lifetime, and I am not exaggerating. I have never met anyone with such legal acuity and intensity when called upon than from Dan Margolin. I was frequently surprised and honored as I witnessed his tangible defensive responses against opposing council at each turn. I've also witnessed many times when the judge and opposing council thanked Dan for his legal enlightenment which assured me that Dan is no common attorney. I strongly recommend that IF you want the very best, you want your hard-earned money well spent, and by luck Dan Margolin is available? Then look no further and consider yourself very well protected as I have.

She was always available when needed, offered outstanding advice and was prepared for the hearings. She along with her team are highly knowledgeable in this area, are always prepared but also help the client remain as calm and stress free as possible during a very stressful time.

We were referred to Julia by a mutual friend and it was one of the best things that ever happened for our family. Julia's vast knowledge of the child welfare system and the inner workings of the Department of Children's Service made her indispensable to us and our family as we navigated the winding and bumpy road of foster parenting and adoption. She was kind and patient but always honest and never sugarcoated anything. Thanks to Julia, our adoption was smooth and the paperwork fast and easy. I would not hesitate to work with her again should the need arise and encourage anyone looking for an adoption or child custody attorney to call Julia immediately. She is prompt to return emails and phone calls, always answered our questions thoroughly and patiently and did everything she said she would do (and more) quickly. I have no doubt that our family is complete today because of the help we had from Julia. Thank you so much.

Initially contacted Chris to handle my divorce and he surprised me with his knowledge of what could possibly be happening in regards to my spouses behavior. He was excellent with his communication and if he couldn't answer the phone he always called me back in a reasonable amount of time. He did an excellent job at explaining both sides of issues that I didn't understand giving me a wide angle view of my paticular situation. He always had solid, practical and logical answers to my questions. He is competent, compassionate, an amazing advocate who will "tell it like it is" when you need the facts.

Chris represented me in a matter. Although, Chris did not always return my calls or emails on the drop of a dime, he did return them. As a paralegal, this is more than I can say for many attorneys. Sometimes this is because they are avoiding you and sometimes, it is simply because they are busy and/or have a case that has a sooner deadline than yours. Family matters can take years to resolve. Although mine was not a family matter, Chris did a great job in Court. Chris knew all the right things to say and when to say them. He was great with communicating with me and my family during the hearing. Chris had such a passion for what he was doing and was very knowledgeable about the laws and how they were to be applied. In the end Chris kicked butt for me and won my case. One of the best days of my life. I just wanted to hug him when it was all over!

What can I say...Chad is more to me than just my attorney. My case was long, drawn out and very emotional. Not only was he able to get me an outcome that I was very happy with, he was always there for me when I just needed to "vent". When I was looking for an attorney, I literally opened the phone book and ran my finger down the list of names and called the first one I stopped on, it was Chad. I truly believe that God lead me to him particularly because He knew that Chad was the only person that could keep me calm and grounded through my ordeal. If you need an attorney who will take a personal interest in your case, then Chad is the one for you.

When deciding to advertise that I had a small house ready for renters, many friends advised me to have a legal arrangement. They told me horror stories of how their renters destroyed their property and how renters collected damages when various unforeseen events damaged their property. I heard that it was hard to evict a renter if a legal agreement was not made. Jake was a life saver. I had no idea where to begin. He covered all the basics and things I would never have thought about but could become a big problem if Jake had not included the possibilities. My friends wished they had made a legal agreement when deciding to have renters on their property. Jake was knowledgeable and had my best interest his top priority.

Elliot Bender is the lawyer you want should you find yourself unjustly accused in a criminal matter. His methodical and thoughtful approach to my case amassed the required evidence to disprove the charges against me. Additionally, his years of successful criminal defense provided him the intuition to look and investigate for evidence showing negligence on the part of my accusers, which opened a pathway to civil compensation for my losses. Elliot’s skills of examination and cross examination in the courtroom are without equal.

I have hired Tess Dunn — associate attorney — at this law practice and she is truly a breath of fresh air. I’m going through a very high-conflict and complex divorce with a child, property and businesses. I have had mixed experiences with my previous attorney, and felt that we were merely being reactive, and that the majority of our interactions with the opposing party were contentious. She is collaborative, professional, creative, and most importantly ‘proactive’. Despite having such short notice on my hearing, she’s pulling together a comprehensive, long-term plan, and doing an excellent job of keeping me focused, calm, and on track for the bigger picture items to come. Don’t hesitate because she’s an associate — work with her now, while she’s a rising star! Additionally, I must give additional credit to her legal assistant, Lisa Rodriguez, who is highly experienced and professional. She’ll ask the right questions to help organize your case, and save you money and time. I will update this post as my case moves forward, but I’d give 6-stars right now if I could.

Lily is experienced, professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, fearless, and honest. She was the second divorce attorney I hired: the first one did not know how to handle a high conflict divorce, but Lily was quick to understand the situation, and fought for me, to achieve the best possible outcome in a bad situation. I was truly afraid of my ex spouse, who could be extremely spiteful, and Lily helped me to feel safe. I appreciated that she did not employ dirty tactics or lies, which the other party did, but was still an able, calm yet fierce advocate for me and for the interests of my children. She knows the laws and the courts very well. I could count on her to give me her honest assessment of the situation and possible/probable scenarios, to fight for me where it made sense to fight, but also to help to bring us to a workable agreement whenever the opportunity arose. She advocated so that I could make choices that I could live with: I wanted to keep my house, and she helped me to do that, even when the other party wanted to force me to sell it. However, she did encourage me to think about all of the options that were available to me before making my decisions. She was kind, patient, and encouraging when I felt that I could not tolerate the stress of the divorce. I believe that she truly understands what divorce feels like for her clients, having been through it herself once. I recommend her highly to anyone who is going through a divorce.

I just finished with more than a year long divorce "saga". Thanks to Lily, we were able to avoid a trial and the case was settled on quite reasonable terms. When my now ex- filed for divorce, I interviewed 3 lawyers and did not feel comfortable. A friend of a friend of mine recommended Lily, and after we first met I was quite confident that I can trust her. Step after step after step, thanks to Lily, we were getting into more and more advantageous position. Lily is a pleasure to deal with; she is easily accessible (you don't need to go through layers of secretaries, assistants to ask a question) , personable, very experienced, has a great intuition and great sense of humor.

My experience with Ivana has been nothing short of outstanding. During the most upsetting situation she stepped right in to ensure I fully understood what needed to be done, what to expect, and how to separate the emotion of what I felt to what legally was possible and necessary so that I could listen to her counsel and "let her do her job," which she did without missing a beat. Her confidence, knowledge and willingness to be available anytime put my mind at ease, and for me this was in many ways lifesaving. Ivana keep me informed at every instance, and to her credit she listened to me "sharing" advice and pressing a bit to move forward with patience and grace. As we are nearing the final steps please know you and Ivana helped in ways I am still unable to fully articulate. Thank you for the good work you do, it is important and necessary. You never really understand the phrase "you don't know what you don't know" until you are in the midst of a dire situation and you and Ivana took over to guide me through what I did not know to help me extricate myself from an untenable situation.

Ivana was extremely helpful throughout my entire divorce process. From our initial consultation, I walked away with a lot of information, and not feeling as lost as I first felt when faced with this challenge. She gave a clear and honest overview of the process ahead of me. Upon hiring her, and throughout the process she was always available and extremely quick in her responses to any questions or concerns that I had. She was consistently professional with both myself and with all the other lawyers that we dealt with, even when some of those lawyers were less than professional. In addition to handling all legal aspects of this case in a superb manner, she went above and beyond to help me through this process emotionally - when I would be at my wits end because of the frustrating antics of my ex, she would remind me of the big picture and walk me through all my options to help me feel more in control of the situation. Not once during this whole process did I doubt my choice in hiring her as my attorney. I felt very supported and guided. I would highly recommend Ivana to anyone going through the divorce process.

I hired Mr. Jones for a legal issue and he treated me with nothing but kindness, compassion, and respect. He truly listened to me and kept me informed at all times. I cannot say enough good things about this man. He is not like your average attorney that will bankrupt you like so many do. He is ethical and he gets the job done right. His fees are very reasonable and most important, he is very honest and professional. He is ethical as an attorney should be and he really knows the law. He handled my case just brilliantly and I am so happy that I found him. I highly recommend Mr. Jones.

Sunni represented me during a very difficult time, right after I had to let go of my previous counsel. I was heard, I was asked specific questions that helped make the process be a lot more efficient along with assigned tasks that helped alleviate the cost of it all. Sunni is honest, direct, and makes it very clear who she is representing and provided insightful advice on when cost may not warrant the argument. Excellent attorney, with a high level of integrity and professionalism.

I needed a legal representative for a Civil Order of Protection due to a Domestic Violence situation back in 2008. Mr. Goodwin was compassionate and caring throught the process of putting our case together, and attentive, sharp and assertive in getting me the CPO; he made sure I was as at ease as possible, and well protected during one of the most stressful times in my life. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Mr. Warner came recommended by another lawyer when our two teenage boys got into some serious legal trouble. Each boy was required to have a separate attorney. Mr. Warner did a lot of work to make sure that our son had the best chance possible. In the end, all that hard work ended up with our son not having any charges at all on his record. Our son was given a chance to have a life. Now he definitely stays out of trouble. We really appreciate the time and effort he put into it. He is worth every penny he charges and we would recommend him to anyone who needs help and doesn't know where to turn or what to do.

Mr warner has been very stern and reliable to getting the information needed and getting the job done to get the result i was looking for. He was always on top of things and made sure that the facts provided was to a tee. He an be a bit exspensive but its worth every dollar i had to shell out. He will continue to be my lawyer until his services are no longer needed. The thought of using anyone else will never cross my mind.

My experience with Patrick Ebner Law firm has been nothing but excellent. I hired Patrick as a probate attorney after the loss of my mother. In such a difficult time, Patrick did what he could to make the process as simple and easy as possible. He is straight forward, honest and patient as he explained the whole process. I appreciate him for working around my families schedule when we had to meet, and promptly responding to my numerous emails and texts. Thank you so much again, Patrick. I truly appreciate everything that you’ve done for me and my family.

Patrick is one of a kind, he is compassionate, very thorough and gets the job done. My custody case was very complicated and needed the best attorney and I am glad I found Patrick. He has kids of his own that he cares for so much and he also cares about other kids as well and this was shown throughout my entire case. He answers all questions and never leaves you wondering, even when you just have to vent. If there was 10 stars I would click them all... if you need an attorney that cares and puts his all into your case, to get you to where you need to be - Patrick is the one and only!!!

When first approaching my divorce I must have tried meeting every lawyer I possibly could in order to find the right fit. I ended up knowing right when meeting him that this was the person I wanted to represent me in my battle that was going to be the worst thing I had ever in my life went threw. I walked in his office with a ton of anger from not being able to see my kids and all the false information being said about me. By the 3rd time I seen him I had my head firmly secured and was able to focus 100% on my goals. He was only a attorney yet made such a HUGE positive impact and set me and my children on the right path and not simply because he was being paid to do so. At many times he showed his genuine care, compassion and understanding. My kids grew to know his name and are still to this day very thankful for him. I am a father that now has my kids the majority of the time and can see to it the kids have a bright future. A few years have passed since concluding my divorce and I was forced to be right back in court for contempt that was so far from the truth. I figured I could try to find a cheap attorney to hopefully quickly fix the problem, 2 years later and thousands being wasted nothing was fixed. I once again hired Ken and the problem was fixed and luckily I am out of court again. I learned my lesson, any future needs he will be my first call! I was never asked to make any reviews or offered anything to do so. This awesome man truly deserves a good word put out there for him, about him.

He is compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and professional. Mr. Kline was not only my attorney, he was my advocate and my strength when I felt defeated. He gave me my life back while making the process as pleasant and smooth as possible.

The attorneys at Lord & Hardaway LLP's knowledge and expertise were vital in helping me with over a dozen real estate transactions from 2007 to 2009. My investment company relied upon Johathon to navigate the complex legal mine-field of loan regulation and private security regulations. The professionalism of the Lord & Hardaway team is shown through the quality of their work which is performed in a diligent and efficient manner. I also appreciate the effective communication from attorney Johnathon Hardaway about the transactions and his explanations of what every lawyer was doing on the transactions.

I poured many hours and eyestrain, I went without sleep and ate a poor diet, I did everything I could to create a business. After some hard times I am doing better than I every expected. With that money I took care of my family and raised three beautiful children and took care of my wife. Things changed and in a blink of an eye the change in my relationship put everything I worked for in jeopardy. Rather than hash the details let me just say that he was recommended to me along with another attorney who I went to first. I went against my gut going with someone else at first because of mutual friends. (I was also conerned that he worked with a lot of women and might not be sympathetic, which was way off base. After hearing from the other attorney that I should be ready to liquidate, lose the overwhelming majority of my money and my time with my youngest I went back to "Mr. Mo" I call him, (I'm calling him Pashan now). He didn't sugar coat it either but he was ready to fight and to reason and do whatever was necessary so that I didn't have to entirely start over at this point of my life. It was ugly at times and he stepped up, and definitely switched it around to being on the offensive and planned for contingencies. In the end he forced my ex and her lawyer to be reasonable. He also helped me with a good deal of business and trust work and the sale and move I made. I hope I am conveying what a good lawyer and friend he has been. He wasn't trying to hurt people or stick it to anyone or keep things going just to do it, he was just trying to defend my interest in and get everyone to see how they could reasonably make the best of an unfortunate period we had to get through to be happy and move forward.

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:

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

  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.

    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.
