Attorney Wilkie was successful in recouping a loan I had made to a publicly traded company when I was employed as its CFO/COO. It was no small feat given the company is undercapitalized with its only true asset being intellectual property. Many other attorneys with whom I consulted refused to take on the task, but Counselor Wilkie was intrigued by the prospect stating, "This is a very unique case the likes of which I haven't seen before. I want to do it." The CEO of the company schemed to shield the company's patent and software development from the judgment we eventually obtained. Attorney Wilkie then tracked the intellectual property which was fraudulently transferred through two shell corporations in different jurisdictions and perfected my lien on the corporate assets. Once my lien was perfected, the CEO still stonewalled from paying our judgment. Counselor Wilkie then drafted a motion in an effort to put the company into receivership. The CEO subsequently ignored our service and failed to appear at a status hearing. Attorney Wilkie then succeeded in arguing that the CEO had abdicated his fiduciary duty to the company by failing to appear and got the court to attach the judgment to the CEO personally. Then I finally got PAID !!! I got back all my principal along with interest and legal expenses. I've been involved in a wide range of litigation over my forty years in business. I have nearly three years of law school as part of my education. Attorney Wilkie's complaints and motions were extremely thorough, well researched and expertly drafted. At no point did the judges and magistrates challenge or doubt his arguments. My only regret is not having met Stephen Wilkie years ago.

Scott's be an incredible source of support and information to me over the last couple of years. Everything from reviewing my contract to advising me about sticky client situations and potential business partnerships. AND I've never had to hire him - yet. Being able to build a trusted relationship with a business lawyer like Scott is critical when and if the time comes for some kind of legal dispute. It's naive to think legal issues will never happen. If you're a business owner I encourage any business owner to establish a relationship with Scott. He's smart, informed and makes law interesting.

I retained Mr. Hill to negotiate on my behalf with some particularly determined (read: bloodthirsty) creditors. He was the consummate professional from the moment he shook my hand. By no means "unfriendly," Mr. Hill was decidedly businesslike in his handling of my case. Be warned. He's not selling warm and fuzzy feelings or false promises that "everything's going to be just fine." He was absolutely honest about my situation and frank with his breakdown of how things could go. He then set to work securing an outcome better than anyone in my situation could reasonably expect. Better than I'd have even hoped for, in fact. He entered mediation and it was honestly a sight to behold. Additionally, he took me through a comprehensive review of my finances and outlined concrete strategies I could engage to prevent ever finding myself in such trouble again. I'm not overstating it when I say that he helped me change my entire financial life. One of life's wholly satisfying experiences is finding a professional worthy of the adjective who can bring unparalleled skill and experience to bare on your behalf. Mr. Hill absolutely is one of these. I would hire him again without hesitation and have recommended him to several other aqaintences who would vouch for him as readily as I do. If you need an attorney to represent you, either with creditors or in bankruptcy court, stop looking. This is the guy.

Initially I assigned two cases to his new firm. One which had been pending for more than three years. In less than two weeks Scott and his team had devised a strategy for shutting the case down with no exposure. They implemented the plan and had the case dismissed.

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.
