Laura Sherris is a very sharp and knowledgeable estate attorney. Laura handles the estates in a timely, efficient manner and always promptly returns calls. One of the cases that I referred to Laura was a difficult estate and she was very creative with the estate planning. My client advised that he was very pleased with not only her knowledge of the field, but also her patience and compassion. I highly recommend Laura Sherris for any estate planning needs.

I recommend Laura completely. Laura handled an overwhelmingly complex estate administration for me. I was facing several unresolved lawsuits, a dozen creditors, and difficult family members. Laura took on every obstacle quickly, pleasantly and efficiently. It really felt like she had my back in every situation, support that was crucial in an incredibly difficult time.

Faith Ireland performed as strategic and legal advisor to my foundation on a major public policy issue. Faith provided her client with a solid grounding in the legal technicalities of the public interest/public health issue as well as insights into how the issue would play out in political arenas. Her advice on stakeholder engagement was invaluable. Faith was helpful in behind the scenes strategy work as well as in public forums . She commands attention and respect because of her diligence, integrity and saavy. She was a hard working and highly regarded member of the team assembled to address our issue...combining the wisdom and effectiveness of a "practical visionary".

Faith is an outstanding mediator. Her knowledge of the law is unmatched and her work ethic is legendary. She does a ton of work before the mediation so that she knows your case and is ready to get to work. She is also exceptionally gifted at determining what is really motivating the parties - what they need to resolve in order to settle the case. She figures that out and helps guide the lawyers in a way that will achieve a settlement. However, she also has a keen insight as to whether a case will or won't settle. If she doesn't believe it will settle that day, she will let you know what additional information is needed and then work tirelessly to help you settle it later and will caution you against taking a position that will weaken your bargaining power later. She has a fresh, innovative, and creative approach to mediation. Each time I have used her, I have learned something valuable and have settled a case that I thought would never settle.

I took the advice of a friend to meet with Denise Fullerton at Fullerton Law. I was immediately impressed with her knowledge of the process, what to expect from the insurance companies, and how she could support me in receiving the care that I needed for some of the lasting effects from a car accident. And she was there every step of the way. Denise was prompt at answering our questions. When the insurance companies challenged some treatment and medical device expenses, Denice was an incredible advocate and fierce defender on my behalf. It is clear that without her expertise I would have been stuck with an impossible heap of medical bills. Thanks to Denise we avoided that crisis entirely.

There are three types of attorneys out there: those who do nothing, those who do something, and those who fight tooth and nail for their client. Emily Bass is definitely the latter. She takes on giants in defense of her client and does so with no fear whatsoever. She goes into battle with only one sidearm–knowledge of the law. This might sound like an effort to build an attorney of mythical proportions but it is not. I am simply describing as best I can the attorney who’s fought for me for six long years.

I'm shocked to read **any** negative reviews about Scott Miller. He has been my attorney for over 10 years. I first hired him to help me with a real estate rental matter with a rental property I leased. Although it was small claims, he helped me prepare and win my case and I got all my deposit back and successfully fought off the landlord attorney. Immediately following that I bought a home that had major mold problems and was very complicated. Scott was fully prepared and helped me throughout the entire two year ordeal. Thanks to Scott, that matter was ultimately successfully settled with the prior owners. My last big case was in another state. Scott helped me by interviewing attorneys in that state and helped me hire the right guy. He was just as good as Scott and that one was also successful. Scott stayed on top of that attorney, too, to make sure that the case was moving along with integrity. Scott has consistently demonstrated integrity, honesty and excellent, thorough customer service. He also helped me save money by delegating work that I could do instead of a paralegal. His billing has always been correct and fair. I have recommended Scott to many people and I will continue to recommend him. He's a great attorney that I completely trust.

As a professional engineer in private practice, educator, consultant, and subject matter expert in safety and risk management since 1972, I’ve had an opportunity to provide technical assistance and expert opinions to more than 1,200 lawyers, ranging from sole-practitioners to major national law firms. I only mention this because I believe that few clients know what qualities (beside fees) are truly important when selecting an attorney. I have almost four decades experience working with attorneys. Personally, I rely on my lifetime learning experience gained while providing administrative law and expert witnessing services when offering my opinions to others looking for an attorney (and on that rare occasion when I need to lawyer). That is, any lawyer (not just the law firm itself) I would recommend or hire must be a good listener, have an excellent professional standing within the legal community, attorneys who love the work more than themselves, and one who will carefully prepare the pleadings, promptly complete discovery, and put the case at issue without needing the court’s probing – then an attorney who wants to get your case in front of the Trier-of-fact and then (utmost importance) be prepared for trail with trial and exhibit binders as well as know the evidence needed to present your case and effectively cross-examine your adversary. K. Robert “Bob” Gonter is just such an attorney. His professionalism, alertness to details, and presentation of the evidence is why I would place him in the top 10 (if not the top three) attorneys that I’ve had an opportunity to work with. If you want to have a chance to win outright based on the evidence, or effectively present your defense evidence, clients need an attorney who will put your best interests ahead of their own. I encourage the reader serious consider Bob’s expertise and qualifications, and if you want, you may contact me direct (1.800.952.2840).

Very few attorneys listen and understand. Mr. Gonter is one of them. He will listen to you as a person, then make a knowledgeable decision on how to proceed in your best interests, explaining the process along the way. Mr. Gonter did an excellent job representing our corporation and was understanding of our concerns. Most importantly, he's well respected by fellow attorneys and judges. His stellar reputation and intelligent approach leads to favorable results. I used to be impressed by descriptions like "aggressive" and theatrical attorneys whose shot gun style ends up more noise than result. But after seeing Mr. Gonter in action, I was convinced his professional and respectful approach separates him from the cookie cutter attorneys in our area. Lots of attorneys will say they "will do this" and "do that" for you, the difference is Mr. Gonter actually DOES whats right and what works. I'm very satisfied as a client.

In these trying economic times it's good to know there is someone like Jerry Goldstein to help so many people in need.

Took my accident case while 2 other lawyers declined and resulted in settling out of court. I started to sign papers and decided to hire her last minute because of her experience and reputation. The rear end accident was caused by a distracted driver. I would recommend her in a heart beat!

Andrea took the time to chat with me when I (a new homeowner) was stressed about a contractor relationship gone sour. She gave me all the advice I needed to fully appreciate the options we had to remedy the situation. Very knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. She's definitely in my rolodex now!

We reached out to Andrea as homeowners who had been sold a "luxury" home which was not finished in a luxury fashion. Many short cuts taken by our builder (we bought the house in almost finished condition) and his subs and less than 1-2 years into ownership we had issues with our cement fiber siding and other areas. Once we reviewed the details of our situation with her, she felt we had a solid case and offered to represent us. We proceeded based upon her conviction that we could win. Fast forward a year plus later and we ended up mediating and settling, which we were happy about as we recouped a good portion of our out-of-pocket cost to do the renovations we discovered we would have to do. We would use Andrea again (though I hope we never have to!)

Both Andrea Goldman and her associate Peter Fisher were responsive, knowledgeable, and effective. We engaged Goldman Law Group to develop a housing restoration contract, then hired them again to assist us with an insurance claim. They were thorough and attentive and we were happy with the results on both occasions.

    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.

  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.

      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:

      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.

    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.
