This review is long overdue. Caroline and her team helped us with my wife's green card and it couldn't have gone any smoother. Excellent, clear, and timely communication, precision and attention to detail, reliability, and professionalism are what you and your loved ones can expect from Ostrom Law Office. While waiting at the USCIS office with Caroline for our interview, we could see first-hand the difference in preparation and care that was offered by Caroline and her team compared to others. Thank you, Caroline!

Wouldn't recommend, told me he would take my case, even if there was conflict of interest, claimed he would just not represent the other party anymore, then 3 weeks later calls me and says he won't take my case anymore. Convenient. Call someone else who won't screw you around. Excuse me? I was definitely told that when I had a consultation.... and just proves you didn't call me cause I don't even have vm set up on my phone. You are lying about both situations, I didn't just make it up!! Clearly you are not good attorneys! I'm completely mind blown

Corey and his law firm went above and beyond for me when no other lawyers wanted to touch my case because it sounded too difficult. Corey had no problem Taking on my case, he was very straightforward and honest. When it comes to real estate law, this man knows his stuff every time the plaintive would put in a motion. To try and throw out the case or dismiss my case, Corey would slap down way better motion. After two long years of my case, going back-and-forth with the plaintive, Corey Got him to fold and in the end, we definitely won. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to repay you, Corey, but I owe you everything and I will recommend you till the day I die. Thank you again.

Troy Moore was extremely helpful to my family during very difficult times. After my father passed, he guided us through the challenging and confusing probate process. When my mother passed a year later, he again provided excellent help and support with our estate issues. Like most people, I had no idea how to settle my parents' accounts and deal with all the other legal issues involved when someone dies, so I cannot thank Troy enough for his work and support. He was always available to answer questions, clearly explained everything that we needed to do, and was always prompt and efficient with everything. I highly recommend consulting with Mr. Moore for any estate planning and related problems!

Mr. White exceeded my expectations significantly, even though I already knew he was highly rated. Upon first outreach, he contacted me very quickly on a Saturday, which I was not expecting. Throughout the process, he provided me great peace of mind because I knew I could trust him and his expertise due to all of the positive reviews, but it was more than that. Divorce is a psychologically stressful process with naturally lots of difficult emotions, Mr. White’s persona could not be better for interacting with clients going through divorce. When you speak with him you’ll know what I am referring to within the first minute or so, he has a very calming and reassuring demeanor that always made me feel better after interacting with him. If you need an attorney, do yourself a favor and make sure you get a consultation call with Mr. White, you’ll know exactly what I’m referring to after you speak to him.

She is passionate about her work and about assisting her clients on many levels. Her honesty sets her aside from most other attorneys as she lays out all options and puts her clients first. I have absolute trust and faith in her which is vitally important when you are faced with a difficult situation in your life and are feeling confused and helpless. She has extensive knowledge of the true workings of the law and all the ins and outs and is able to advise on not just what you should do but also what you shouldn’t do!

My livelihood was on the line I needed legal representation fast and I needed someone very knowledgeable regarding my situation. I went online in search of an attorney and I chose Howell, Buchan, and strong because of their reviews. Attorney Brown and Attorney Buchan went over the entire process of a case such as mine and reassured me that they would get the best possible results and when I tell you they did that and more. I'm a true believer in God I had never heard of this law firm , but when I was in search of legal representation I was lead to them. I didn't even chose a lawyer from the city where I live.

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:
