I put my family and career at risk when I got arrested for a DUI. Based on a word of mouth referral, I contacted Mr. Grace. He really put my mind at ease. He explained the process in an easy way to understand and knew exactly what to do to put myself in position for the best outcome possible. Mr. Grace also knows a lot of police officers when he worked as a Fraternal Order of Police attorney. In the end, everything worked out and I still have my job and life. Mr. Grace was terrific!

I have used this attorney for my divorce and for a job misconduct issue. Always knew his job and related issues in court. Very smart and has a very quick sence of changing the tides on opposing counsel. Well worth the money. I usually dont recommend lawyers to anyone because as a police officer, they are the enemy. Now as for Chris Grace, he is top notch and you should fell lucky to have him.

I met Chris Grace during a difficult time. My marriage was ending and I didn't know where to turn. Initially I interviewed two lawyers and was ready to choose one to represent me in my divorce, then I met Chris Grace. Immediately I knew that Chris had not only my best interest at heart but also my young children interest at heart. Chris Grace walked me though all the legal obstacles and gave me sound advice throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Chris Grace mostly because he cares, and in his caring he is thorough and will fight for your best interest. Chris Grace never once hesitated to answer any of my questions and helped me keep my home, my children and my pension.

Mr. Landon helped me through an extremely difficult time (of my own doing) without prejudging me. He was there by phone, email, and in person whenever needed and got me a fair sentencing. Without his expertise my fate could've gone in a much worse direction. If one is in need of legal help I would definitely recommend Mr. Landon.

FIGHT: exert oneself continuously, vigorously, or obtrusively to gain an end or engage in a crusade for a certain cause or person. Jarred Welborn has got the FIGHT. In a State (like Alabama) where I thought there was no possible way for a man to gain custody of his son, Welborn made it happen! He asked all of the right questions, collected every bit of information possible, put pressure on the opposition when needed, felt my "pain", listened to what I had to say and won the case. If you're in the middle of a family dispute, don't go anywhere else. Hire Jarred Welborn! I now consider him part of my family.

On Sunday, Eric called me ( from his office) & took my case. My old attourney accomplished nothing in 3 months, & Eric got me a fair outcome, & closed the divorce in just 3 weeks!

I've used Ashley Morgan at Kirker Davis for several family law issues. I found her to be smart as hell, compassionate, hard working, and she posesses a great attention to detail. When I was initially seeking representation a few years ago, most of the attorneys I spoke to immediately suggested we go to war with the other side. Ashley listened to my goals, led the charge on an amicable divorce, even when the opposing parties were difficult, and the result was a legal bill that felt fair.

I am pretty much your typical middle class worker struggling to get by. Mrs Kelly was very understanding and very "real". She was very honest and frank with me from the start and I truly respected that. Mrs Kelly was very flexible about all my troubles and would go out of her way to help resolve them. Throughout the divorce Mrs Kelly had multiple family and health issues occur. However she never forgot or pushed me off during difficult times. To which I truly commend her on. I'm rambling so let me cut to the chase. The end result to my divorce was everything I could have hoped. I went into things expecting the worst and walked away a truly blessed and happy man.

I first met Lauren about nine years ago when looking for a mediation lawyer to facilitate my divorce process. From the many lawyers I talked to, she was the one that inspired the most trust and confidence, and to this I do not regret the decision of working with her. Those who have been through a divorce know that a divorce is always a messy emotional and financial process. This gets magnified if people do it the "traditional" way with separate lawyers alienating the couple even more, expensive litigation, arguing back-and-forward endlessly, etc. At times this process can take years. But with mediation divorce does not become an adversarial process. It is a process in which both parties communicate in ways that are healthy. Lauren is excellent and very skillful at facilitating this type of communication. What I appreciated the most about working with Lauren was her kind spirit and empathetic presence. While working with her it felt like she must have received training as a counselor at some point in her career due to her excellent listening skills. It made the divorce process go smoothly, and it was significantly cheaper than a traditional divorce. I am grateful for the support Lauren provided during a rather difficult time in my life. I highly recommend her professional services.

I was in need of a divorce attorney. This web site and a google search led me to Robert Reeves law firm and Mr. Cody Burgin. I come from a culturally different background and this would play a very important part in my divorce. Mr. Burgin was extremely professional and respected this making me feel understood and comfortable. He was always calm , very well prepared, honest and kept me grounded in my expectations regarding the outcome of the divorce. He never gave me any false hopes. He was very prompt in his responses to every one of my questions(believe me I had an expansive list ) at any given time of the day. My situation was very different in the sense that I was on the other side of the country, yet he worked with me very patiently with all the constraints. I have heard of horror stories about people's experiences with divorce attorneys which made me very apprehensive. But Mr. Burgin never once gave me any instance to doubt him or his intentions with regards to my best interests as his client. Two months after the divorce was finalized, I ran into a problem. I hesitantly(I was no longer his client) contacted Mr. Burgin to ask for his advice. For two days straight, he helped me through it and brought a swift end to the problem, which, without his help would have dragged on for a long time. If, in the future, I ever find myself needing legal representation, I will choose Mr. Burgin at a moment's notice. I will also recommend him without any hesitation.

My experience, as the majority of the reviews I have read and would agree with, are nothing but spectacular thoughts and feelings regarding Mr. Kloosterman. I want everyone to know that my personal experience with Mr. Kloosterman on two legal cases we faced with Mr. Kloosterman, in my opinion, and many others who I know, that know him, is that he is one of the best attorneys not only in East Tennessee but possibly the whole state of Tennessee. Mr. Kloosterman has honor and integrity; I have witnessed this in and out of the courtroom and in trial. He fights for his clients, but at the same time, he also knows what is right not only as an officer of the court but also as a man of God. Everyone I have ever spoken to regarding Mr. Kloosterman, including other lawyers, judges, and state representatives, all have said nothing but the highest regard and respect for Mr. Kloosterman. He is very diligent and respectful to all. In our cases, he was very thorough, doing legal research citing the law to opposing counsel and the judges. He advised us of our options and potential outcomes in both cases and allowed us to make very informed decisions regarding our cases as we moved forward. I have and will always continue to highly recommend Mr. Kloosterman as he genuinely cares for his clients, is an excellent lawyer, and, more importantly, a fantastic man. He has always made himself available to us after hours and even weekends! Mr. Kloosterman has taken calls from me well after midnight in emergencies and talked to me after hours for extended periods of time. This is a committed lawyer whom you can trust and who truly cares for people, and it shows. Mr. Kloosterman is not only respectful but very courageous. He is highly intelligent but humble, which does not mean he will not stand up for you. In one of our cases, I witnessed him shut down the State Attorney and a high-ranking attorney from Nashville, Kingsport, Johnson City, and Carter County in the same hearing where the judge agreed with Mr. Kloosterman's legal arguments in support of his client, which happened to be me. If you want one of the best attorneys in the area who will respect and listen to what you say and be a fighter in the courtroom, I highly recommend Russell Kloosterman.

Dylans whole life has turned around for the better, me and his mother are getting along and would like to pursue damages against Todd and his little law firm. I'm hoping that Stephen Todd will be disbarred and dismissed for unethical behavior as I had to blackmail him into showing up to mediation because I had photo and video evidence that he was intentionally delaying meditations for over 4 months. Todd not only disrespected the courts but he also violated his oath, please someone report him and have him removed as an attorney.

I had an excellent experience working with Itamar Gelbman, I was involved in a real estate transaction where the buyer failed to perform in good faith to obtain third-party financing. Itamar stepped in and immediately provided a demand letter upon my request. He represented me in dealing with the buyer's lawyer, and thanks to his actions, the buyer promptly released the earnest money. Itamar's responsiveness and legal expertise were impressive, and I highly recommend him for any real estate legal matters!

I was having major issues with my landlord and I knew that I need an attorney who could help me terminate my lease based on the condition of the home. I was referred to Itamar and he immediately assured me that my landlord was in the wrong and gave me clear direction on how we can get the lease terminated. We were able to get our lease terminated in less than a week! He did a fantastic job and he was an excellent communicator. I have since referred two of my friends to him. I highly recommend Itamar Gelbman.

I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is so attentive and assertive in what she does and takes her job very serious. During my custody case, my son was being majorly abused being in the company of his mother and her associates. The home was a very negative environment and toxic to my son and the custody case was only brought about because of his constant running away from home and ending up at my doorstep. I had no experience in the transitional phase of obtaining custody but Mrs. Mandel made it so easy for me. So easy that on the first court appearance Veronica was so prepared and was so determined, I got temporary custody of my son on the first go!! As a dad I didn't think it was possible that quickly. It brought me to tears. She even took the time out to make calls whether it was 4 in the afternoon or 10, 11, 0r 12 midnight to check up on me and make sure everything was ok with me and my sons transition. She has a beautiful soul and never backed down to anything in court that was thrown at her. I felt so protected by her will to make sure my son remained in safe environment. She made sure I knew my court dates, made sure i brought the proper documents to court and never ever made me feel I was alone in this fight. My son had it rough in the beginning but after her advice to seek therapy for him, 5 years later he's doing extremely well. I can't thank her enough for what type of impact she's had on me and my son's life. She's a game changer and I love her to death!!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!

Mike had a strong background in the area in which he represented me. He was thorough in his review of the case and developing a plan to minimize my penalty. Mike show genuine concern about my case while balancing his busy workload. He was thorough in his review beginning to end and conscious of my fee. So many times the legal profession worries people (and me) that generating fees is their only objective. Not Mike. Mike was fair and made me feel like I truly had someone in my corner. I would strongly recommend Mike to anyone.

Mr. D'Amico has been advising me on various issues regarding shared parenting with my ex-husband, and has recently represented me in a court hearing for such a matter. Given my experiences with Mr. D'Amico, I cannot recommend him highly enough. He genuinely cares about his clients, and goes the extra mile to make sure everything is covered. Additionally, Mr. D'Amico is not the type of attorney that tells you what you want to hear; he is always honest, and has many years of experience from which to draw to provide his clients with the best advice. Legal matters are usually unpleasant, and are always stressful, but Mr. D'Amico did everything he could to make sure I was well prepared, informed, and as much at ease as I possibly could be. I could not have hoped for better representation than Mr. D'Amico provided.

I met with Tom for a free initial consultation. Not only did he spend significantly more time with me than was necessary...but, he actually referred me to another law firm local to my proceedings. He felt that my needs could be better served with local counsel. I was so impressed with Tom's skill set & competencies that I would have easily retained his services. And I have every confidence he would have performed exceptionally well. Instead he put my interests first & sent my business down the road. Anyone willing to do that (regardless of their profession) is a credit to their field. If I ever need family law representation closer to the Columbus area where I live…Tom will be the first attorney that I’ll contact.

Hiring Mingy Bryant Ball to handle my child custody case was the best decision I've ever made . After years of frustrating experiences with other lawyers, she helped me to find a proper custody agreement that I'm very happy with . She was fair, honest and supportive all the way. I was losing custody of my child while battling complicated side effects from a very damaging and abusive relationship and she helped me to put my life back together and stand up for myself in a proper way. We have been out of court now for some time for the first time in years and I owe much to Mingy for helping me see my way through a very dark and confusing time. She has helped us all have a more fair and balanced exchange that is right for my child and keeps us at peace with each other long-term . That kind of peace is priceless to me. She was easy to understand , honest and explained each phase of our case to me clearly . She told me what I needed to do to. She's a life saver. Incredibly smart , easy to get along with and extremely honest - which is not my experience with all lawyers. I highly recommend her .

Honestly, I have went through many experiences with lawyers, and so far only Mingy has worked to my expectations. She answers phone calls, if not she definitely calls you back. Gives great advice and amazing information. She strives to make the best out of your situation. I was sure I wasn't going to win custody of my little girl, according to other lawyers I wouldn't have. Mingy stood up for me in court, and won me the case. Without her, I would not be able to take my little girl to school in the mornings. By far the best lawyer I've come across, thank you Mingy Bryant.

I really can't say enough good things about Alisha and how she helped me through a difficult divorce. From the beginning, the process was laid out for me as what to expect and a timeline for the legal process. I never hesitated to call or email Alisha if I had a question and she was always there to help. She would also just update me if we hadn't spoken in awhile to let me know where we were in the process, so I never questioned that things were moving. She made her schedule available to work with mine on more than one occasion. She was very thoughtful and kind which made me feel comfortable. Alisha worked very hard to get the best outcome for me in my divorce. I was extremely pleased with my settlement. I would recommend Alisha to any family, friend, or acquaintance that needed a divorce attorney.

Family law issues are often challenging and my situation was emotionally one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to go through. From the very beginning, Greg exhibited a very compassionate demeanor. He explained the process in detail and was really great about talking me through all options available to me and the process and things to co wider for each one. He was very clear and detailed about the fee structure and kept me updated throughout about billing and amounts left on retainer. He is an exceptional communicator and very clearly outlines how and when to connect. He follows up diligently. I felt supported and at ease throughout this entire process and am so incredibly grateful to have been introduced to Greg. I highly recommend.

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.

    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.

    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.
